I'm liking this "treat yo self" hotel Kraig

[chrissniffin]

Kraig, you're the only creator who has never made a single bad video. Your stuff always amazes me!

I watch these with a plate of fruit in the morning before I go to school. Right now is a very stressful time for me, and these small moments in the morning before school with these hiking videos are what keeps me going sometimes

All i can think about when watching you walk (especially far away from the camera or across a lake) away from the camera is you having to come back and grab it and then go again.
So worth it for these shots!

Ahh if only the early morning smells in this forest could translate through the internet.

What a beautifully placid lake at the beginning, the landscape just continues on into itself.

I would give anything to have a really big picture of the lake and trees on each side at 0:54. That was absolutely fabulous!!! I hiked the Enchantments about 50 years ago, and what I remember most is that we had to buskwhack it straight up the mountain for about a half hour.

Your videos have this strange calming effect that we can't explain. Truly enjoy it.

[ShanSubedi]

I can watch these hiking videos in repeat and never get bored

Did that same path nearly 47 years ago. Made the mistake of pitching a tent in a basin. Had record rainfall. The creek that I jumped over on the way there was a raging River on the way back.
Thanks for bringing that memory back to me.

Absolute heaven on earth. Beautiful place and view and brilliant photography.

Dear Kraig, thank you for inspiring me to create my own hiking YouTube channel! I've been into hiking and climbing for years and just like you am coming from cinema background and still working in video production area. But I've been aimlessly and rarely shooting videos that barely captured the soul of my trips..(with a lousy gopro that kept freezing in cold) until I come across your videos. It was a sudden bright flash appeared in my mind and I told myself "This is it!". "This is how I should combine my hobby and my work!"

In an instant I fell in love with your storytelling and style. I started making similar hiking videos in Turkey. I grabbed a Sony RX100 VII and DJI Mavic Air 2 and went out to hikes. It felt like a therapy. I added things from my perspective too but I still say I'm very heavily influenced by you. You are my hero, thank you for the awareness.

Didn't get to see all of it, or better yet, couldn't stand watching anymore. Watch these (kind of) videos at first to reminisce, catch memories of all the places I hiked and trekked and traveled now that cannot and am On-In-Years. Secondly it's all about Belief, or the power thereof and getting to see and think of all that's good and right in this life if you get the chance, are so lucky. In that I am a million miles away from that world/life, mostly cuz don't got legs like yours - had to say somethin' bout it. Thanks for taking me along - as far as I could go.

Love these. No talking, subtle and beautiful background music. Photography unmatched. Thanks!

[Hollowsmith]

It's amazing that Leavenworth, Washington stays under the radar of beautiful American mountain towns. It's Top-5 for sure. Gorgeous.

[mikeroneniner]

Epic is apt here. In a world where everything is deemed superlative. This truly is . A benchmark in trail recording sound and vision .

[jasongerber]

I always feel like I'm able to go on the hike without doing all the work when I watch these, so thank you. You're giving many of us an opportunity to see parts of the world we never would

[dejib.]

Just divine. That music with the beauty of nature...wow.

[ryancolegrove]

Kraig I always inspired after watching your videos. your content speaks for itself. every frame has intent and the edit just flows seamlessly. I look forward to the day I run into you on trail sometime here in California. sending all the good vibes for this nomad life

[AVCEEK]

One of my favorite hikes all time! Great encapsulation of it all!
