    Hi Kelly! Great job here... I'm a former Outward Bound Instructor & professional
    mountaineering & river guide out West. I'm now 51 and facing health issues. Your vids
    are just what the doctor ordered! I really appreciate the simplicity & straightforwardness you've achieved--no BS/gimmicks--keep it up

    So so SO beautiful!! Some advise that works for me, but totally feel free to take or leave. As someone with awful knees and who loves to snow hike, put your poll on the down hill side next to your foot on the sketchy traverses! That way if you slip, your poll can stop ya because it’s usually much more stable. Others may have different opinions but that’s definitely saved me in the past!

    Hello again Kelly, what beautiful scenery surrounding you all. I have a video content suggestion for you. Not to give your exact locations away, but can you from day to day insert a screenshot thumbnail of past day trail maps? This would be very informative for those who someday want to take on this challenge. A screenshot map connected to this magnificent scenery would be awesome. Thank you for taking your CZcams followers along and sharing your latest adventure. Stay safe. ❤😊👍

    Boiling water in a plastic bottle in your sleeping bag. Keeps you warm at night and gives you water in the morning that’s not frozen. Learned this from Outdoor Boys

    As a viewer, just getting these little snapshots of the hike, it's crazy how one minute it's green and grassy and the next minute the trails plastered in snow! Seems like quite a rollercoaster of terrain and scenery, but looks amazing. Keep going and keep the vids comin'!

    Kelly- you can buy better spikes (cramp-ons) with even better traction in snow. The ones you have with the spring is useful in mild conditions & may accommodate your needs but thought I'd just give you an alternative if they don't. Happy trails my friend
