The Best Day Hike in America?? Thru-hiking The Enchantments
I made a quick weekend trip recently out to Seattle for an outdoor adventure day hiking The Enchantments. This was a beautiful and LONG day hike that I highly recommend if you're pretty fit and want to challenge yourself. It took us right around 12 hours to hike the 20.5 miles. It's a point to point hike so you'll need to either use a shuttle service or park a car at both ends. I strongly advise using trekking poles which really came in handy climbing Asgard Pass.
Enjoy the video and let me know if you have any questions!

Hiking 7 Colorado 14ers in 7 Days | Quandary, Sherman, Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln, Bross, Elbert

I recently spent a week in the Breckenridge area of Colorado and squeezed in as many adventures as I could. I was lucky enough to have a couple of friends come visit and we got some epic hiking in. We were tight on time so we didn't spend as much time acclimatizing as I would recommend. You should give yourself at least 2 nights sleep at altitude just to be safe.

    Hello, I just discovered you. I have foot problems. Every year my foot fungus (like herpes) keeps coming back. I can never get rid of it completely. I am someone who has trench foot problem on my feet even when I am working as a sales consultant in a closed area/shopping mall and wearing real leather shoes. Gortex and similar products and Global brand shoes are really expensive in my country. That's why I do a lot of research. I try to buy the right product at once. What do you recommend me? Should I buy amphibious water shoes to protect my foot health as much as possible? I was especially impressed by your statement that leather shoes take much less air than Gortex. I used to think that real leather was a good breathable material. Should I buy Gore-Tex or especially shoes that are as waterproof and dry very quickly? Durability is very important to me (Because I probably spend 1 week minimum wage money for these shoes)

    • @chaseadventures
      @chaseadventures 22 дня назад

      While I'd love to help you I'm not a doctor so if you can see one that'd be my advice. It is true that fungus and bacteria tend to grow more in damp environments and leather shoes do not breathe well. Shoes that have breathable mesh on top would allow a lot more air circulation. Best of luck, I hope you're able to find a solution to your issues!

    About 80% of people who hike this loop starting at Road's End in Kings Canyon traverse the loop clockwise, because the ascent to the high point (the top of Glen Pass) is longer distance-wise, and therefore more gradual. I have done it both ways, and I think that counterclockwise is really underrated. This allows you to get the uphill part of the hike done about 1/3 of the way through, instead of 2/3 (although your legs may ache a bit from the steepness). And also, you will tend to see a lot more people, since most of the people you see on a hike or backpacking trip are people who are going the _opposite_ direction on the trail from you. Another bonus of this trip, if you have time, is the great choice of side excursions that are well worth exploring. For example: (1) East Lake/Reflection Lake, up from Junction Meadow on Bubbs Creek, is outstanding, although this would probably be too much for a day hike. Hike up to East Lake and spend two nights there, with a day hike up to Lake Reflection on the day in between. Lake Reflection is one of the most beautiful lakes in the High Sierra, and East Lake is no slouch either. (2) Vidette Lakes makes a good day hike from farther up Bubbs Creek, but this requires a crossing of Bubbs Creek which could be dangerous in early season. (3) Sixty Lakes Basin, just over the ridge on the west side of the Rae Lakes basin, takes you to a large basin containing a LOT of lakes and lakelets which you could easily spend a week exploring; most people hike over to here from Rae Lakes on a day hike and if you start early you can definitely still cover a lot of ground in a day. But if you backpack over to Sixty Lakes, you will have even more time to explore this incredible basin and maybe even have time to day hike over Sixty Lakes Col (class 1 - 2) to the remote, exquisite Gardner Basin, one of the most incredible lake basins of the High Sierra. (4) Finally--and this one has been mostly forgotten--do a fairly easy day hike east from the Rae Lakes basin 2 miles up to stunning Dragon Lake at the western foot of Dragon Pass and Gould Pass. You will be almost guaranteed to have this scenic lake all to yourself, as almost no one seems to ever go up there anymore.

    Just go to the gym and get a more supportive backpack. Weight isn’t as big of deal for me a 225 lb man than it is for my wife a 120lb woman. I’d rather have comfort items than silly ultra light inferior gear. Hiking is exercise- weight is more exercise. If it’s well distributed and comfortable, stop worrying about 2-5 lbs.
