  • On this trip I spent 2 nights in the Trinity Alps Wilderness. I started at the Swift Creek trail head and spent the first night at Granite lake. On day two I went up 7 Up peak and then continued both on trail and off to Horseshoe lake. On the final day I returned to the trail head via Swift Creek Trail. Overall awesome trip!

    Beautiful video! I just did a trip in the Emigrant Wilderness of off Hwy 108 on the 22nd. Got a bit of snowfall the first day, such a great hike. P.S. Emigrant Wilderness is great for fishing.

    Excellent trip and vid, thanks for sharing! This is the first of your videos that I've watched and I like your style. I'm doing Swift Creek over 7 Up > Deer Creek > Morris Meadow > (hopefully) Sapphire Lake and back on June 21st - 24th, and this was very helpful.

    • @BurleyOutdoors
      @BurleyOutdoors  Před 3 lety

      Thanks for watching and I’m glad you liked the video. That sounds like a good route for a 4 day trip. I doubt there is much snow left so you should have easy travels. Have fun!

    The scenery is incredible, it's a picture postcard you're walking through--lucky duck! I was trying to compare (which I found out you shouldn't) this backpacking treking, camping to the canoeing, portaging, rugged camping you and Joe did. I realized it's totally different, but you can take both skills to each type of trip.
    I noticed dessert is somewhat the same in either--maybe a few more m&m peanuts lol

    • @BurleyOutdoors
      @BurleyOutdoors  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks for watching. I agree canoeing and backpacking are hard to compare. Both have a different feeling that’s hard to explain. But a lot of gear and skills are the same for both. I do love me some Peanut M&Ms.

    I was literally in the process of planning a solo trip to this area when your video popped up. I recently moved close to the Trinity Alps Wilderness last year and I've been waiting for the snow to melt to set out on some solo trips. Not many CZcamsrs cover this area, so thank you for all your treks and detailed information. I was hoping you (or any of your followers) could help me figure out if I should start with this area, the Four Lakes loop only, or Stuart Fork to Emerald Lake as my first solo trip in the area. It will also be one of only a few solo trips I've ever done. I'm in decent shape - I'm a trail runner. The longest I've backpacked is only a few days and up to 26 miles or so, with not much elevation change. But I do try to day hike in the area as much as possible, as well as trail run. Thanks!

    Released too late in the evening for me. Have to wait until tomorrow. I know it will be a good one as usual so giving it a thumbs up for now. Nice to see an american eating some other cheese than cheddar😉

    Great video Kyle. When do you think you and Joe will get together. I love watching you 2. Have you ever did a trip with Joe, Shawn, Doug and Mike? Now that would be a hoot.

    • @BurleyOutdoors
      @BurleyOutdoors  Před 3 lety +2

      Good question. Border is still closed and I think Ontario still has their camping ban. As soon as that is fixed we will look at planning something. There is a video on joe’s channel with me joe mike and Doug. About 6 years old in Michigan. Maybe more in the future.

    @joelkotzen280 Před 3 lety

    Looks beautiful! Sorry if I missed it but what month did you go? I was looking at the weather near that area for the next week or so and apparently there will be a major heat wave. Oh and how did you store your food overnight?

    • @BurleyOutdoors
      @BurleyOutdoors  Před 3 lety +1

      I went middle of May. As for food storage I used an ursack as there are bears in the area.

    Awesome videos! I have a trip to Granite Lake planned later on this summer. How was the drive to Swift Creek TH? Will an AWD 4-Door sedan be ok?

      You will be just fine. I saw a Prius make it.
