The NOT Ultimate Sipsey Wilderness Adventure
I had a grand idea for the ultimate Sipsey backpacking route, but some things don't always go as planned. Still a solid overnight in a beautiful place. A second attempt will be made... with some better planning and way better weather.

But would need more time to complete. Taking it easy and maybe only doing 8-10 miles max a day, how long might this be? Do you think there are camping spots easy enough to find doing it this way? What spots would be best if we also wanted to use a camp spot as a couple-of-day layover to do some side quest explorations? And do you recommend other hikes or versions of this hike? I suppose we could spend 4-7 days if we can bring enuf food and find enough water. Thanks for any help?

    Thanks for the video. I'm planning on hiking this loop in April next year. What month did you hike the loop? Should I be concern with the water crossings in April?

      I hiked it in May. Highest I crossed was probably mid thigh (I am a short dude though lol). I’d definitely suggesting keeping an eye on the weather in the time leading up to your trip. I would imagine a lot of rain can swell that area up greatly.

    The Alum Cave a trail is the most beautiful with amazing views. I’m gonna take The Rainbow Trail up next. It looks just as beautiful. I can’t wait. Those views look amazing.

      I agree Alum Cave is definitely the best route up in terms of overall experience. Bullhead was a fun alternative though. Thanks for watching!

    Loved your videos! I live in CA but am also from MS. Where in MS are you from? Also, what month did you do the HST? I hear we are going to have another wet year and am trying to plan to do this in 2024 at a time when there will be the least snow/cold weather possible....unsure of when to plan for!

      Thank you! That’s really cool. I’m from Amory, MS but live in the Tupelo area now. I did the HST early September. That was an incredible trip. If you have any questions leading up to your trip let me know :) thanks for watching

      Same with my volt, weighed almost 5 pounds but carried well. I found your video by reading your post on all trails. Great right up and video. Will be helpful planning my trip.

    Love watching your videos!! You make it fun, and you're always smiling. Did have trouble with this one, was kind of fuzzy film.

      Thank you! I’ll try to figure out what that’s about… sadly I’m not a very tech savvy man lol.
