Behind every adventure is a story waiting to be shared.
With a degree in English, Michael has always had an affinity for storytelling. And while he accepts his mediocrity as a storyteller, he idolizes a good story wherever it can be found -- from books to magazines to RUclips -- and often appreciates the style of one's writing more than the actual subject that it conveys.
He picked up his first GoPro a few years ago and decided to finally start documenting the trips that he had been taking for decades. Filming can be a beautiful art form and the perfect complement to words.
From short trips to epic adventures, the trip is just the beginning. It is the personal connections forged, experiences created, and themes realized that impact us long past the trip's end.
So get outside...and tell a story.

Hiking Black Mesa: Oklahoma’s Highpoint

Little Bear Peak via Hourglass + Ellingwood Point // Colorado 14'ers
Просмотров 6194 месяца назад
I return to the range where I climbed my first 14'er in order to witness my friend climb his first. The Sangre de Cristo Range is studded with beautiful peaks, and we spend the first day on the class 2 route to Ellingwood Point. On the second day, we attempt Little Bear via the class 4 Hourglass Couloir. No matter how many 14'ers you climb, there's always something left to discover. 0:00 Intro ...

Mt. Leconte: speed-hiking the Smokies' best summit
Просмотров 1045 месяцев назад
Maybe we should have defined "hike" before starting the trip. My partner assumed we would be trail running on this trip to Mt. Leconte. I assumed we'd be walking. This route is one of the best day hikes in the entire Great Smoky Mountains National Park, as the view at Leconte's summit is one of my favorites in the park. (My friend my have crushed me on the climb, but I showed him who was boss o...
Twice Thwarted: Hiking the South Loop of Linville Gorge
Просмотров 5407 месяцев назад
Third time's a charm? Maybe. The Grand Loop is a tour through the best (and most rugged) parts of the iconic Linville Gorge. Having failed twice, I return with high hopes of getting it done and in the process am reminded of what keeps bringing me back. Editor's Note: In this video, I incorrectly refer to this hike as the "Grand Loop," which is actually a 40 mile long loop. I apologize for the e...

Only have time for one hike at Pictured Rocks? Then, this is it. The Chapel Loop showcases the very best of this National Seashore, with its northern hardwood forest, beaches and coves, multi-colored cliffs, and of course that view of the inland ocean of Lake Superior.

Anchoring the northern end of the impressive Roan Mountain massif on the Virginia/North Carolina border, Hump Mountain may be the area's most spectacular bald.

Immersion Therapy: 12 months of plunges // A VERY unscientific exploration of water therapy
Просмотров 8839 месяцев назад
Why have ice baths and cold water therapy become so popular? Deciding to put the concept to the test, I embarked on a year-long journey that took me around the country, from the Carolinas to Montana, Michigan to Kentucky, Pennsylvania to Utah...and beyond. This was by no means a scientific test. It was a personal exploration into the concept of cold water therapy, something I had to try for mys...

Reaching the highpoint and exploring the rugged beauty of this trail is truly inspiring. It is nice to follow your adventures and experience the charm of these elevated landscapes 💖
Thank you so much for watching! Happy Trails!
Loved the video and your little hiking buddy is great! I plan to hike this trail this spring!
@@billysherlin6589 thank you so much for watching. You’re going to love this trail!!
What a great link up from start point to the froze to death plateau. I can tell you from experience I’ve been pushed down and right on that plateau many times. 3 attempts on granite and 3 failures. Don’t kid yourself it’s not easy and it is very emotional. Great video. I love the tooth’s.
Thank you for your note. Three times! I'll bet that's weighing on you. The Beartooths are incredible. I've got to get back. It was painful to be so close.
Went this morning all of the trails closed
Better to go “sooner” than later…!
Lol. That's a cleaver one. I wish I had incorporated that into the video!!
This is where I'll be when if I have to escape to somewhere. Beautiful
So lovely
Thanks so much for watching! Happy Trails.
Inspiring video - maybe tone down the music...
@@zeldathewelder I appreciate the feedback. Happy trails!
We climbed Gros Morne this summer (just as a storm rolled in off the Gulf of St Lawrence), hiked other trails in the park, visited fishing villages around Gander (my wife’s cousin lives there), took the ferry to St Pierre et Miquelon (stayed overnight), and saw dolphins and puffins near St John’s. What a beautiful place NL is. Thanks for your spectacular video.
The morning views from Shortoff were worth the trip for me.
Long Haul, you continue to amaze! Hoisting a pint to you and Taylor in Ireland.
Thank you sir. And since it is finally Friday, I am also raising a glass to you! Cheers to my favorite AT thru-hiker!
I didn't realize y'all had to backtrack and find another route for Ellingwoord. The colors in this footage is taking my breath away. The bleeped out cuss - hahaha. Love that you got to share this experience with a friend. Beautiful video.
Thank you ❤
Great video
Thanks very much for checking it out. Happy trails.
Gorgeous video! My friend and I finished the Long Range Traverse about 2 weeks ago. It was our first time doing such a trek. It took us much longer than 3 days. 6 days 5 nights. It was the hardest but most amazing ever. 2 full days of rain (one day was a tropical storm) and we kept pushing thru. We have learned a lot and already planing next year’s trip in the US. 😊
Congratulations. It is such an incredible trek. Sounds like your accomplishment has inspired you to do more!! Happy Trails.
Really good stuff, great story telling. I did the beaten path proper the year before it flooded. Such a well maintained and beautiful trail! Cool idea to try to summit, even just getting that view looked like it was worth it! Subbed your channel for more!
Thanks so much for your comment. I wish I could have seen it before the flood. Hopefully they're rebuilding that lower section. It was a disaster! Happy trails.
one of my favorites waterfalls I have ever visited!
Wow, I'm going to moab and doing canyoneering for my first time in 2 weeks; and have been watching a load of hiking videos the past few weeks. This randomly popped into my suggestions and it looked cool never heard of this one before. Out of the hundreds of videos I've watched in the past couple days alone this was by far my favorite one. Everything is very polished in the storytelling and narration really sinks you in. I unfortunately won't be in the area to do this but this has definitively been added to my bucket list. For 750 subs the quality of content is unreal, ill definitely be watching more when I get the time after this trip
Thank you, my friend. That means a lot. I hope your Moab trip is awesome.
Respect to those 2 dogs.
Those critters can get after it!!
Thanks for sharing
ruclips.net/video/p_KfvMtAjgs/видео.htmlsi=m-t8oUUFAk5KXP-4 This one sums up Palisades minus Cloud Ripper. So you think you are in good shape 😅😂 Yeah, they murdered it. Laughed. Biked back to Big Pine. Crazy.
Here everything is low. Except Rainier. Volcanoes. Stuart is right up the road from house. 9800. Enchantments. Esmeralda Basin. Rainier Chinook Pass is 102 miles. Snoqualmie 60 miles. Hollar if in neighborhood. I moved back from Polk County TN. Smokies. I worked at Rocky Yosemite Yellowstone Teton BLM AZ STRIP aka GCNP ZION Dad lived in Moab 12 years. Everyone has RUclips now. But just ask I spent 7 years straight in these places. In woods every weekend.
Go in up POPO AGIE. Lander. Turn North. This is back country hiking but best hike is Up Death Canyon out Cascades Grand Teton. Wind Rivers are way less used. As for driving it is a 460 mile loop arpund them Jackson to Dubois to Lander up popo agie FS Road out south end back on highway to Pinedale cut up dirt road on west side it comes out in Pinedale. Hoback Jackson. From Jackson the loop around Yellowstone is 330 miles. Wind rivers are best used on trails. If you want to wander go to Beartooth. Or Gallatin side of Yellowstone. I always tell folks if hiking multi day in Yellowstone go from upper falls down the river out Gardiner. South end FS road has multiple lakes. Camps. Its 18 miles in up popo agie. You are out there.
Those berries he is eating are why it is Grizzly Central. 5 or more types. So if a lot of them beware. More types of berries than anywhere in USA. I don't go into the Gorge side. Stay above 8500. Preferably 9000.
The fire tower at top turn towards tower is the ridge. It is barren goes out a few miles drops you right in middle granite lake area. North of big meadow. We camp on the big granite knobs above. North of meadow. IT IS GRIZZLY CENTRAL. BIG TIME. Barronette is best peak up there. Go up ridge from ice box canyon. Or go out to Spirit Mountain. And as I always say, there is nothing up there but rocks. Once high.
You can park at the pass. South side. Walk up onto the ridge right out to Spirit Mountain. Google it. Day Hike. Overlooks both sides and middle. The last couple of lakes. South side. You can go right up lake chain. Off 212 miles past Top of World. The Fire Tower road first bend drops down into the giant wooded bowl. Muddy Creek. Biggest Meadow. Which also goes out to 212 way below Top of the world. The fire Tower and Pass are easy pickings.
Anywhere in St-John's where one can buy used equipment?
I'm not sure. We only spent a few hours in town, as we were mostly hiking.
@@whistlepig Thank you for taking the time !
Long Haul - so happy for you and Candace! Thanks for another gorgeous video. I know I said “options” is the best word in the English language but I think serendipity is a close second.
Well said, my friend. Great seeing you this week.
Thank you ♥️ I love you. xoxoxo
I LOVE you!
I love the part where you chat with other hikers about if they've seen somebody running through there. Glad you didn't have a myocardial infarction. OH - I also love how the screen faded to black, and I could still hear you laughing.
This has some Kraig Adams vibes to it, I love it. And for a gnarly backpack trip check out the Pemi loop in New Hampshire.
Thanks so much for the comment. His channel is awesome! I've heard good things about the Pemi Loop -- definitely putting it on my list now that you've reminded me. Thanks again.
Stunning! Many thx & luv the title of ur channel! Happy Trails, Everyone! x
Thanks so much for the comment and for checking out my channel. Happy Trails!
Just a thought on the emotional experience of being in the mountains. The mountains have a way of stripping your soul down to who you really are. Especially when you have to dig down deep just to get to a certain place. There is something about seeing grandeur and beauty in those moments where you make a connection - a connection between your soul and something absolutely magnificent. There is nothing else like it.
I love this comment and couldn't agree more. Thank you for sharing. Happy Trails.
If you think Spence Ridge was hard going up, wait until you try cabin or white oak hahaha
My interest is piqued!!
Aren’t drones illegal there?
That was unbelievable! You hiked in chest deep water in Winter in Utah in Buckskin gulch! That is incredibly insane but you got a gem of a video for it. I hope more people watch this and appreciate your efforts.
Thanks so much for your comment and for watching. I never could have envisioned how that trip would turn out. Knowing what I know now, I would still go in winter, but would be sure and bring some neoprene for the deep sections! Happy trails.
You did a nice job of capturing the Porkies, green, quiet and wet, but lots of solitude.
Thank you very much. You nailed it: green and quiet. I saw more bear prints than people!
Amazing Adventures not possible without the Holmes factor!
Also not possible without Ross' presence!!
Nice video but this is not the Grand Loop...The Grand Loop is 40 plus miles and the northern river crossing is the bridge near the visitors center at the falls...Hope this info helps you out...
Well shoot. I found this route listed on AllTrails as the Grand Loop. Looks like I got that wrong. I appreciate the info.
@@whistlepig No problem...I enjoyed the video...
How far in did you guys actually make it? Certainly was some tough going.
Only about half way! Winter conditions made for some slow/tough going, but I still think it's a great time of year to attempt it. Happy trails.
This is amazing!! Thank you for sharing your journey!!
Chad, thanks so much for watching, my friend. Happy trails.
Such a great weekend. Looking forward to bringing you (or you and Craig) lunch and snacks if you do the loop in a day ❤ Another fabulous video babe! I especially loved the shots from above and the little details along the way.
Great video - one of the highlights of the AT. Biscuit looked happy!
Never heard of the Porcupine Mtns - thanks for introducing me!
Thanks for taking us with you Long Haul. See you soon! BTW, I finally did the Art Loeb the other day. I cannot fathom how you did that in a day!
Congrats, brother. That is a fantastic hike. You were smart to take your time!!
Keep up the great videos!
Thank you for watching! Happy trails.
Awesome video brother
Thank you so much for checking it out. Happy trails.
How would this hike be going the opposite direction by starting at Bowlens Creek? We are thinking about doing Bowlens to Big Butt Trailhead.
I've done it in that direction and think it's just as good. It starts out with a never-ending climb that will drive you mad, but definitely think it's good to go.
Drone. I'm bailing
I hate to hear that, but I respect your decision.
Just watched this again. Made me laugh and go awww again. ❤
It was one of the greatest adventures ever ❤
Very beautiful place. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍6
Thank you for watching. Happy trails!
