Thanks so much for watching! Glad to have some viewers from South Africa!

It’s an Eezi Awn K9 roof rack. Very pleased with it!

@@xpadventure thank you for responding!! 🙏🏽

I’ve got the 285/70R17’s. Basically 33’s.

Thanks, we’ll check it out!

Thanks! Yes, I can still feel my heart rate rise whenever I watch that video and relive those moments.

It’s a great place, isn’t it?!

Thanks for being such loyal followers! We’re getting closer on that cookbook. 😀

Thank you! Yes, it’s turned out to be one of our favorite adventures this year so far.

Thanks so much. Those are 285/70R17’s. I have a 3 inch lift.

It’s not really a trail you’d find on a map or something like AllTrails. It’s more of a route that’s been marked out on mountaineering guidebooks.

Labor Day last year. It’s a great time to go because the mosquitoes are dead.

It’s interesting how Hollywood has partnered up with the government over the years to create propaganda.

Thanks for commenting! Yes, we do love that action and adventure, don’t we?!

Thanks so much! Yeah, we have an ARB air compressor under the hood and usually take the tires down to 15-18 psi depending on the terrain.

@@xpadventure Yeah about 5 minutes after I sent that suggestion, I saw on one of your videos that you were airing up those tires. But I was too late and had already sent my reply. Love your videos and content. Your wife should create a Cookbook for sale. Her recipes look delicious! Anxious to watch your next video! Maybe we will see you in the Swell one of these days! Last time I was there I camped at the Little Grand Canyon, was really cool waking up on the overlook! Buckhorn Wash was really cool with all the Indian Artwork and Dinosaur print!

Thanks Lorrie!

Thanks for the reply. Yes, losing a drone sucks. I had insurance thankfully but it the deductible was still pricey. I think you can do just fine without a drone!

Thanks, definitely appreciate it! Thankfully we were able to replace the drone as I had it insured.

That would actually be a blast!

There are some hairy spots!

Wow, thank you Blake! Your climbing book was so invaluable. I love Glacier, I grew up in Columbia Falls and have had the chance to climb a couple peaks but now I live in Utah and usually only get a short time up in MT during the summers. Any other peaks with a similar difficulty (or less) that you would recommend climbing?

Pollock is super cool and has way less horrible rock. Siyeh is another really cool climb.

My wife says there’s something wrong with my brain because I’m not too afraid of heights. I thinks she’s probably right. 😂

You live in such a beautiful place!

@@xpadventure Yes I do I live in the little town of New Castle which is considered the gateway to the Flat Tops and I was born at Buford which is on the other side my dad had Meadow lake built in 1963 and I sent most of my growing up days back and forth in that area

Yeah, they were good for the most part. Some tourist got too close to one of the kids and so the Billy goat was getting agitated and his hair was all standing up. They usually let humans pass just fine but here in Utah some dogs get gored every year.

Thanks Trevor! The views are the best. We did the Highline trail in Glacier this summer and that was fun. We hiked up to the Grinnell Glacier overlook which was totally worth it. Have you done in other peaks or fun hikes in GNP?

Yes the road going up is a bit rough in certain spots but if you pick your lines you should be fine.

I remember the scree field well. Took and hour to climb up and about 5 minutes coming down.

Thanks Jerry & Trevor. Are there any other great peaks to climb along the same level as Reynolds in the park? I was thinking Oberlin might be fun.

@@xpadventure Bishop's Cap and Pollock are fun. and yes, the Oberlin climber's route is worthy. Bearhat is fun, despite it being a "yoyo" (up/down up/down up/down) from the Hidden trail. check out the Lookouts too....great views and access using horse trails (Swiftcurrent, Huckleberry, Apgar, Numa Ridge, etc.)

@@xpadventure Oberlin is fun. Great bang for the buck. A lot easier than Reynolds. There are two routes, one requires a small amount of scrambling, the other does not. Depending on how fast you move, Oberlin can be done up and back down in like 2-3 hours. View isn't as good as Reynold's, but for a relatively easy/short hike, it's pretty great.

Yes, that’s only the second time we’ve been “blown away” by such sustained winds that lasted more than a day. The first time we all hunkered down in our Springbar tent and it was finding a way to blow sand into our tent even though all the flaps were zippered shut. My dad had a nice 3-season Columbia tent and it snapped the poles. We finally gave up and went to a hotel in Green River. Fun times!

You are definitely going to love it! Bring mosquito nets and repellant.

In reality it’s not that hard, especially if you’re used to rock crawling. It’s more mental than anything when you’re coming down “the steps” with the big drop off on one side and visions of rolled over vehicles who weren’t paying attention in your head. But the switchbacks themselves are easy.

Thanks, that’s an excellent suggestion. Are you talking about the Thermacell mosquito repellant? We bought one a couple years ago but I’d totally forgotten about it since we don’t get that many mosquitoes in Utah. We’ll definitely bring it next time!

@@xpadventure nitecore has usb c versons I prefer but they are basically the same

Thank you!

It’s well worth it!

Yeah, we wanted to stop at Willis Creek too but it was so cold with the wind. There are plenty of places to explore and nearby Skutumpah Road also looks fun.

Thanks Ethan!

Thanks Lorrie-we were lucky it didn’t turn into rain. Lots of fun anyway!

I love that area of Colorado. That wind can get nasty just about anywhere - too bad your trip was cut short. Yeah, the June weather is starting off with a vengeance. Thanks for watching!

You win some, you lose some! 😁 we still had fun. Thanks for being a loyal follower!

Thanks! We got a cookbook coming so stay tuned!

@@xpadventure I would buy that.

Thanks for being a fan! We appreciate it.

Thanks for commenting! Yes, I love how remote it is. We took Croton road on the way down and Smokey Mountain for part of the way back. The southern end of Smokey Mountain around the Kelly grade area is totally worth it if you get a chance to come back.

Thanks for watching. That’s Cottonwood Canyon Road south of Cannonville. We show a bunch more of it in our next video.

Thanks, sounds like a great trip you’ve got coming up. I’ve always wanted to do Poison Springs Canyon so it’ll have to be something we do soon.
