Part two of the grand teton road trip vlogs! This week we stayed in a tiny cabin in Grand Teton National Park, celebrated my 21st birthday, went paddleboarding had a picnic on String Lake, and hiked to Hidden Falls. We started this road trip from Utah and headed north to spend a couple of days rock climbing around Lander, WY before driving to Grand Teton to hike Delta Lake and explore the park....

Today we hike from Lupine Meadows Trailhead to the most beautiful lake in Grand Teton National Park, Delta Lake. We started this road trip from Utah and headed north to spend a couple of days rock climbing around Lander, WY before driving to Grand Teton. Delta Lake is a must-see in the Tetons. Huckleberry ice cream, national forest car camping, and a pika are also featured!! emily...

Is second day trek 15 miles of hiking
Did you tip at the end of the trip or daily?
end of the trip!
Wonderful place. I will likely go this December 🎉
Have the most amazing time!
Im doing the 7 lakes hike tomorrow what’s the elevation there ?
it goes up to 15,500 feet if i remember correctly!
@@EmilyFlynn I did the hike today beautiful place, thanks for your video
Just stumpled on this video. I plan to take kids out snowboarding and camping near SLC this winter. Thank you for your insight.
hope you have so much fun! i’ve been learning to ski out here and it’s a blast!
Beautiful video 🥰👍🏼 greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩🙏🏽
Did you need a power conveter for charging phone when on the Salkantay trail?
i didn’t bring one! i can’t remember ever coming across a plug that required it
Beautiful video 🥰🥰 greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩🙏🏽
Just wondering did you book the trekking company when you got in Cusco or you booked months before? Thanks again 🙏🏽
i booked a little less than a month before and it was super easy! might be more difficult during peak season but i had no problems
Thanks for sharing this video 🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽
Im doing the Salkantay in September this year! So pumped. I'm from Denver and have been prepping all summer :D Thanks for the tips!
i hope you have the BEST time!!!! i loved it!!!
I’m so happy I bumped into your Video. Planing to do the same Trek mid September. Also little nervous to do this solo Trip but also exited to meet new people. Will be watching your other Videos. ❤
Thanks for being here! Hope you have the best trip!!
Very useful tips. Thanks
Did you do this before or after Salkantray? How much rest time did you have in between?
I did it after! I think I took a day or two in between to sleep and just explore Cusco but it was not nearly as difficult of a hike as salkantay
What month did you do the Salkantay Trek? It looked like it rained a lot. Was that normal weather for the month you went? I am thinking of doing that Trek either in August or September. Any recommendation and/or advice in regards to what month I choose (pros and cons)? I know you said you went during the shoulder season so was Machu Picchu considerably less crowded?
Hi! So I did the trek at the end of September. I think september marks the start of shoulder season, with October starting true rainy season most years, so you are probably slightly more likely to have nice weather in August. I know a couple people who went in July of the same year as I did and had much more fortunate weather. I had a great time with the company and my trekking group regardless of the rain, and still had great weather at Machu Picchu, but I do wish I was able to see Humantay more clearly! I think august and September are close enough to each other that it’s probably luck of the draw, and if it were me I would just pick what worked better for flights etc, keeping in mind august has a slight chance of more sunny days. Machu Picchu was almost empty when I visited, but it was also a year ago and international travel was just starting again. Hope that helps! I have a lot of photos of the conditions on my Instagram highlights too! have an amazing trip🫶
@@EmilyFlynn Thank you for your response. It was helpful and insightful. I am going to travel solo. I know when I am with the tour group I will be safe. But what about the taxi ride from airport to hotel. I will be alone. Is it safe? And what about walking around Cusco alone. Is that safe? (I do not speak Spanish).
@@billw9284 happy to help! I traveled solo and flew into the Cusco airport. You can walk right out and catch a taxi in front of the airport, it was probably overpriced but felt safe. You could also call your hotel and ask them to arrange a pick-up for you. Most hotels do this for a fee and it makes it a lot less scary when you’re first getting oriented after a flight! It’s usually about $20. I felt very safe walking around Cusco, but I mostly stuck to daylight hours. If I walked alone in the evening (traveling alone as a woman) it would only be a quick walk to grab a bite to eat and I had a local SIM card for directions and emergency calls. I only speak a bit of Spanish, and I studied before traveling in Latin America. I studied basic words just to be able to say hello, order a meal, ask how much something costs, stuff like that - which made me feel much safer! Most people spoke better English than I spoke Spanish, but appreciate it when you try a little! Of course, my travels were prior to the political situation currently happening in Peru, so I would ultimately refer to the news and travel guidelines about safety. The trekking company I went through was also an extremely helpful resource and answered a lot of my questions!
i really enjoyed this video you made it so heart warming. best part is the drone footage and your love for alpacas 😂
haha wow thank you!! they’re just so darn cute!!!
hi Emily! thinking of going this thanksgiving day. Did you need to bring microspikes or snowshoes? thanks a lot!
Hi Lanqi, I've never done the hike in November but I would say bringing microspikes to have them if you need them is always a safe bet! I did bring them when I went in March, but I didn't use them. If there is a fresh snowstorm snowshoes would be a lot of fun! I was actually up there a couple days ago and the moose are out like crazy right now, would recommend going early morning while they're out! pics on my ig of the conditions as of 9/25/22 and the moose if you're curious!!
@@EmilyFlynn Oh great! Thanks for replying!
@@lanqifei4662 Of course!!! Have fun!! <3
Emily thanks for your video. We are doing the Salkantay trail in a couple of weeks. Any recommendations about bug spray? I assume we will need sun block? Are showers available? txs. j
I didnt carry bug spray and amazingly didnt have any issues, but I know that bug bites are common on trail so not a bad idea to bring! Sun block is a definitely yes because the sun is so strong at high altitude. I would also recommend SPF chapstick because my lips are always getting burnt when im hiking at altitude! The first three nights showers were available for a fee (I think cold water only, but I was way too tired and cold at night to do that!) and the fourth night you’re in a hotel room with an ensuite bathroom to get fresh before the Machu Picchu tour!
Enjoy your time in Peru!! Its a very special country ❤️
Thanks for the tips, Emily! which hostel did you stay in? and/or you recommend? I'm going to Cusco this september :)
I just stayed at the Selina which had the perfect location but wasn’t the most interesting hostel! Sorry that’s not too helpful… hope you have an awesome trip!
NICE EXPERIENCE IN PERU FRIEND GREETINGS FROM PERU 🇵🇪
Two thumbs up for your trip you deserve it
Hoping for a trip in the next year or two. The tough part will be deciding on a hike like this orrrr an ayahuasca retreat. Both in one trip might be a little much :p You can be my guide, let gooo. :) One question about phones. Do I need an international one or a new plan. When I went to Rome my carrier did not get a signal. Thank goodness for the google maps working offline hack. Thanks!
I purchased a local SIM card at the airport when I landed so that I could have service! Just make sure not to lose your original SIM card.
Were you able to use that at-home test for traveling purposes? or was it just for yourself?
The brand that I linked was allowed for traveling, you just have to use the app to proctor your testing!
@@EmilyFlynn didn't know that, thank you!
That's right...we better know what we're going to do first.. before we do it..
Did you see wildlife on the trail?
Yeah a little! Horses, cows, and llamas at Machu Picchu. And then in the Ausangate region (7 lakes hike) I saw chinchillas and alpacas as well
Going to do this trip in 4 weeks with the same company. I see you all walk with a Salkantay trek rain cover for your backpack. Do they provide it for you? Cause at the moment I don't have one so if not I still need to buy one.
They provide the small backpack cover and a poncho! I have another video on my channel with some packing tips :) have a great trip!
Bravo, very nice video! I will try to do it this year.Can’t believe I found you here! Old salsa friend ! Haha😊
Wow!! Hi friend! Thanks for watching and stopping by…☺️ you should definitely do it, it was awesome!
@@EmilyFlynn Good to hear from you, lost your number long time ago. I am glad you remembered the salsa master 😂. Hope you can give me some tips , I am planning in going on October .
@@Monkey-nf8wc yes! You will have a great time. Feel free to message me on Instagram any time!
Me encanta más el QapacÑam
Backroads lodge to lodge trekking tour peru
Fantastic! Lovely video... Where did you rent the paddle board?
This was last summer but I’m pretty sure we rented from Snow King Mountain sports shop in Jackson hole! We were lucky and just took what they had day-of, but definitely recommend calling a few days ahead to reserve a rental
Que buen video, gracias por compartir tu experiencia...
thank you for watching!
Emily is wonderful :)
I like nature beautiful
Love your videos. So helpful in planning a trip to Machu Picchu. Question: How big are the duffle bags that the horses carry? I've found information on the weight limit. But I'm trying to get an appreciation in terms of length/width/height, volume by liters or cubic inches.
I’d say the duffel bags were approximately carry on sized, not huge. But I left most of my belongings in my suitcase (which the company stored during the trek) and just packed what I needed between my day pack and the duffel bag! I had plenty of room, but I only had a carry on sized suitcase during my travels. Have a great trip to Machu Picchu!! Edit: You can see the duffel bag on the floor at the 5:02 minute mark :)
Excelentes tomas, y paisajes magníficos.🇵🇪
Very informative, thanks so much Emily. I'm glad you mentioned how much to tip because nobody else seems to mention it but it's important to know. Thanks so much!
It seems like no one talks about it so it’s hard to know for sure how to do it- especially the first time! Thanks for watching and commenting💓
@@EmilyFlynn Exactly, so thank YOU! :)
I was super glad I came across your video! I'm doing the trek in a few weeks and am so excited! What daypack did you use?? It looks awesome!
Ahhh I’m so freaking excited for you!!! You’re going to have the best time. I’m obsessed with my osprey tempest 20 because it has a clip for climbing helmets too, but it’s kind of expensive so I’m sure any of their 20L packs would be great for this :) anyway hope you have the best time!!
@@EmilyFlynn thank you so much! I'm sooo excited to do it as it's been on my bucket list for years! Do you think the tempest would hold a Nikon D5600 camera as well as everything else?
@@madisonnewman771 I had plenty of room for snacks, layers, and a few extra things so I think you could probably make it work. It is likely to rain some so keep that in mind and maybe look into day packs with waterproof sections for cameras? Either way I would just do a test run - pack the bag up and take it on a day hike and see how it feels first :)
Which travel agency did you do the trail through? It was 5 days?
5 day classic trek through Salkantay trekking. I linked a lot of helpful resources in the description of my other salkantay tips video!
