Hiking Crawler's Ledge on Kalalau Trail
Просмотров 590Год назад
Here is a video of Crawler's Ledge on the Kalalau Trail in Kauai, Hawai'i. We were hiking eastbound while returning from 2 nights at the beach. This trail is beautiful but the footing is extremely dangerous and the narrow trail is often exposed above a rocky coastline with waves crashing below. Any fall or slip could be deadly. Do NOT do this trail!

Grand Canyon National Park: Tanner to Bright Angel
Hey mate, awesome video. Planning for a Maze trip in 2025. Hiked in the Needles district 10 years ago and it was one of the best trips of my life. Thanks from the UK 🇬🇧
The Maze is awesome! I highly recommend a vehicle with all wheel drive and high clearance to get to any trailhead...the roads are very rough.
Opening shot grabbed me - great production - great vid - ty for sharing
What trail was this?!
Boulder Canyon trail
Great vid my friend! I absolutely loved Colorado when we went and visited Pikes Peak a few years ago. Keep it up brotha!
wonderful!!!
You did it!! Great adventure and beautiful area. Loved the footage. Thank you for sharing.
wonderful!!
Gracias por compartir.. saludos 🇨🇱❤️
Looks like an amazing trek. Beautiful country!
This is Clara and Guillem from BCN! We really enjoyed the video 😍 It was so nice to see ourselves in your video George, and also remember all those moments 👏🏻 If you ever come to Spain and want some "amigos", you've our numbers 😉 Btw, buy some trekking poles dude 🤣
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Beautiful country. Great adventure. Thank you for sharing.
How Long is Crawlers Ledge ???
The part people refer to as crawlers ledge is only a minute or two long. But throughout the trail, there are a lot of long sections of very narrow trail next to steep cliffs. Most hikers would probably agree the sections before and after crawlers ledge are more sketchy due to loose footing.
To cool
Being dropped off by boat is totally illegal. Please respect to rules and this sacred place!
It only illegal to PAY to be dropped off. They had permits.
@@georgebackpacking1283 Yeaaaah.... I don't know about that. Park ranger might disagree.
Looking at the DLNR website, it only says that commercial activity is illegal. Those with permits may be dropped off-shore, and swim so long as they are not paying for that ride. We have a friend with a boat who dropped them off.
Awesome buddy!
Wonderful video with a perfect soundtrack. Loved it. Thank You for sharing
hell yeah!
I've been down the Flint Trail and out to the Doll House area, next I'd like to do part of your route to backpack somewhere in the area of the Harvest Scene.
I did it this past July. Needless to say this is an absolute relentless trail. For me, one of the scariest parts was the decent right before you reach crawlers ledge going out to Kalalau.
Thanks for the video. Beautiful area. A buddy and a I did the Elk Creek to Needleton loop a few years ago. I recall the trip to Columbine Pass via Johnson Creek being a heck of a hike. But so worth it at the pass. Your video scratches my itch to get back out there.
George, Asa devotee of this area I must thank you for a beautiful video. Thank you for treating this area with the respect it deserves. Your video was gorgeous and we especially koved the silence. Letting the imigaes tell the story is what this sacred place is all about. Well done. Slainte'
In october 1987, three friends and myself hiked from the standing rocks down to the harvest scene. On another trip I took my dad down the flint trail to the standing rocks. Another time I parked at top of flint trail and rode my motorcycle down it and out past the maze overlook, to meet up with friends who were riding mountain bikes to queen anne bottom on the green river. There's a chimney and hearth still standing at the site of the Butch Cassidy outlaw hideout cabin about 2-3 miles north of Hans Flat. I heard or read that the cabin burned down close to a hundred years ago.
That's cool...I hadn't heard about the butch Cassidy cabin
Great video. Slippers, really?
This was great!! Thanks for sharing!!
The feathers you found belonged to a northern flicker a member of the woodpecker family. They make their homes in saguaros.
Thank you! 🙏
Hi there George, great video! I'm planning on doing a backpacking trip in the Supers. Would you think September would be a good month to go? Monsoons should let up at the end of August so water shouldn't be an issue in September right? Thanks in advance!
September would probably be too hot for me, but everyone is different. Truthfully I haven't been in that area during September, so I'm not sure how much water the monsoon season might bring.
How's the swimming in those lakes? I'd want to get refreshed every night if possible!
Swimming in the lakes is awesome. The water is clean, cold, and refreshing!
How well do you sleep at that elevation?
Altitude can definitely affect sleep but I don't have too much of an issue having lived the past 5+ years at 8000 feet.
@@georgebackpacking1283 Shoot I live at about 200 feet! I'd be awake the entire time!
I have to say, you have made the Wind River area seem a little less "rocky" than other videos and pictures I have seen! It hasn't been high on my list of places that I have wanted to backpack because in too many pictures and videos the place didn't seem to have enough of a rock / forest balance. Maybe you are starting to change my mind!
Great video! Thanks for sharing it!
Such a beautiful area. Thank you for the video of your hike.
Thanks for the video of your trip, George! We just got our permits to go up there and are super excited. Loved the views you captured!
samesies
@@hermeticallysealed can’t wait for the view of blue glacier
Have you tried using a level app while filming? I use a similar setup, it’s a bit tedious to switch from the camera to the level app, I’ve wondered if just carrying a tiny one would work better. Fantastic footage.
I haven't tried a level app. Thanks for the suggestion...I'll check it out
Beautifully done video. You really captured the Wind River Range in all its spectacular grandeur. Thanks for including the piece at the end showing the route you took. Very helpful for planning.
No encounter with rattlesnakes? Thanks for sharing.
I didn't see any snakes. I've had several rattlesnake encounters in other places, and learned to appreciate the rattle...at least they warn you!
Love the Gorge !! Have walked the same loop that you hiked ! Was extremely HOT when I was there . Nice evening and morning views from hansens point ! 👍👍
👍
What month is this?
February
Where did you get the beta on this area? Routes in particular. Thanks.
There is a great guide book by Michael Kelsey called "Non Technical Canyon Hiking Guide to The Colorado Plateau". It's super dense but gives a lot of great info.
Such a rad area, thanks for sharing!
Same 2 places I stayed back in the 70s . Differences no Cannisters , no reservations but permit at trailhead and a Lot more of Blue Glacier . They now require bear Cannisters on certain Olympic Coastal hikes not because of the Black Bears on the beach but because of the Racoons , they figured out how to get into hanging Ursacks.
I like how you feature the sound of the wind and the water and especially the songs of birds. Also nice touch showing clouds of mosquitoes. Gotta keep moving!
Thank You for the Awesome video!
Doing this exact route in a few days
Words fail in trying to describe your video. It’s simply overwhelming. I’ve done Uncompaghre several times and I know how challenging it must’ve been getting this footage. Job extremely well done!👍🏼
Thank you!
It looks so beautiful there!!! Thanks for sharing. Great video! New here can’t wait to see more videos!!
Amazing scenery all through your video. Very enjoyable to watch!
Hey George, would you say there were ample spots for bear hangs on your route? I was out by Titcomb last year and it wasn't great for hangs.
Yes there were options for bear hangs at all my campsites as there were plenty of big pine trees around. I use an ursack which does not require hanging.
Video is very well done. Having grown up in SW Wyoming, the Winds are one of my favorite places in the world. BTW, Washakie Pass is pronounced WASH-a-kee. Thought you would want to know. (named after a Shoshone indian chief who my great great grandparents knew)
U literally pack your pack opposite of the standard lol.
Haha I don't even know the standard way!
@@georgebackpacking1283 check these out for some tips. By all means though if your way works for you and doesn't hurt your body don't change a damn thing But if this does help in any way I'm glad it did.
