Good to meet you out there Dave. We chatted on the way up and the way down. Great weekend.

Perfect timing, I made reservations for two nights along this route back in March (Happily Lost and Lost Lake). Trip is next week. I was planning on hiking to Rowe Glacier but after watching this it looks like a tough one. Oddly enough I just bought a Thermacell (haha) -- looks like it might come in handy! Thanks for making this video!

Wow, I just rode through Rocky Mountains on Amtrak's California Zephyr and thinking how awesome would be hike there. Thanks for this great video. One day I'm gonna go hiking there like you guys. 🙂👍

Nice video! Do you have a GPX file, or directions to the trailhead? I looked in AllTrails, but it shows it's in Nederland instead of RMNP.

Great video! I just found you the other day while researching snowshoeing in RMNP. I’ve been binge watching your stuff. Keep up the awesome work! How do you like that Thermacell?

So when you booked this, was this one of the “wilderness backpacking campsites” where you had to buy a permit? Me and my buddies are planning a trip this summer, and we were wondering what the wilderness backpacking was like.
