  • Back in September of 2021, I went solo backpacking in the John Muir Wilderness in Inyo National Forest. I hiked about 20 miles with over 5,000 ft of elevation gain, exploring all 7 Big Pine Lakes plus Summit Lake and the Palisade Glacier.
    The trailhead I started from is the Big Pine Creek North Fork and you need a wilderness permit for backcountry camping in this area: www.recreation.gov/permits/23...
    Filmed entirely with my GoPro Hero 8

    Hiked Big Pine a year ago and heading up in a few days. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen…simple, not over produced, just a guy sharing his hike. Great job!

    Your photography of the trail conditions was outstanding and quite informative. Really liked your star trail shot. This is a pretty impressive 3 day accomplishment with some awesome views. Thanks for taking us along.

    Great video and production Diego! Beautiful scenery and incredible views out there, looks almost unreal. That's what I call an adventure and I will definitely follow you on your future adventures. Stay safe out there. Happy trails, Mario

    Hello Sir Diego from San Diego, 2nd video I watched here. You deserve more subscribers man. Superb adventure! Excellent!

    This is obviously the route to Cloudripper also. Great for 3 to 6 days out in the wild. There is a pass too.

    It is natural to go up the Moraine overlooking the Glacier. Probably best view of area without going to Ridge/peaks.
    Go high as you can if not climber. Great pictures

    Thank you for sharing. I would have never known this place existed if it wasn't for your video. I will be in that area next week. Even though I am not fit enough to make it all the way to the Glacier, I can surely experience some of that magnificent trail....and I will!

      @@diegogomezcana We were there 2 weeks ago. We spent a week in Mammoth lakes acclimatizing to the altitude with shorter hikes. We did a day hike to the 2nd lake. Absolutely gorgeous lakes, scenery, and wildflowers along the way. The last 2 miles on the return trip were challenging on the joints. We will head back to the area to hit a few other hikes we missed. Again, thanks for sharing the video and allowing us to discover the Sierra Nevadas!

    Hey Diego! Awesome video! I am actually planning to camp at Big Pine Lakes next month at the end of Sept. i wonder how low the temp gets? Not sure if my 42 degree sleep bag gotta cut it or not. Also how is the bug situation? Thanks and keep up the good work!

    • @diegogomezcana

      I don't remember exactly but I think the coldest it got was in the high 40's. Not much of a problem with bugs. Hope this helps you and thanks for watching!

    Diego, show more and talk more about the area. Little too much of your face in the video. You said yourself you don't like to hear other people talk while you are camping, we are the same way.

  • @erict5878

    It seems to me you are taking risks ( as a solo hiker with no one to help you) that could cause you bodily harm..When you are solo you should not ever go beyond your comfort/skill level. As a solo hiker, from what I've seen, and with no visible means of getting help if you become injured and physically immobile YOU WILL DIE you need a Garmin mini or any type of sat com emergency unit
