  • After being dropped off from a family trip, I set out on a solo backpacking adventure in Yosemite National Park. Starting in Wawona at the Chilnualna Falls trailhead, I'll hike 15+ miles and gain some significant elevation on my way to Glacier Point Road. Awesome trail but boy was it a warm day (95°+). There was plenty of water with it being the middle of June, and I took every opportunity to cool myself off!
    Hope you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

    The more you backpack, the more I get to babysit! 😊. That trip was quite a hump in the heat! Enjoyed hearing about your good encounter with the Yosemite wilderness ranger and promoting compliance with permit requirements. Looks like that trail needs a few sawyers to clear downed timber!

    beautiful view in every direction, I was briefly out that way 2 months ago and it really is awesome in the original sense of the world to see with your own eyes.

      Very true. From some of the upper viewpoints you can see Wawona buildings and even the highway carved into the mountainside way off in the distance. It gives you a completely different perspective on roads that I've been on many times

      It's the "Relive" app for iPhone. Really neat app and I think it was a great addition to the video

      Best time to visit Yosemite, in my opinion, is early Spring. During that time it's a bit chilly but the waterfalls are amazing and the air is crisp

      The heat and elevation got to me during this hike. Luckily I had a few creeks to cool off in and to refill my water. It's beautiful Yosemite though and always worth a little challenge to see the sights!

      @@bigbreezy64 At the time of making this video it was still very early in the hiking season. So understandably the trail crews had not yet been able to clear this path from downed trees. It just seemed like every time I was able to pick up the pace I would turn the corner to see another downed tree. They really slow you down after awhile

      Relive is an awesome app that is available on the iPhone. As long as you remember to start the app at the beginning of the hike, and remember to stop it at the end of the hike, it is very easy to create those short clips
