Larch Madness in the Enchantments
It's that time of year again, Larch Madness! Larch Madness if that roughly week or two of perfect autumn conditions where the alpine larches turn their golden color. Larch madness, or a larch march as some call it, is one of the most spectacular times of the year. And what better place to experience Larch Madness than in the core of the Enchantments?!

Your videos have great potential but are facing challenges in reaching a wider audience. But here are some problems: 1. SEO score is very low 2. No title - description - tags are SEO friendly 3. Not sharing on social media platforms. I can help with that. My info is on this very channel.
I'm starting my prep for this climb with my bother in-law. Good times ahead!
Best of luck to you. It’s such a wonderful climb!
I know I'm late to this video but you could have so many more likes without the music. After 3 minutes, I scanned the video and it's throughout and I quit. Wind, trees, birds, etc... would help your views. I clicked a few of your vids and they all have the music and around 10 likes. I'm telling you, your views and likes will go through the roof!!
@@MrFooqair thank you for your feedback. It’s greatly appreciated!
Nice! Thanks for posting your day climb!! Great photography!
@@steventhaw3765 thank you very much!
Too good folks. I loved the video. Felt like being at the summit....
@@milestogochannel thank you so much!
Some of the bluest lakes of the entire wilderness. Nice 🎉
@@FootstepsandForaging doesn’t seem real until you see it in person!
Thanks for sharing this video. What cameras did you use?. Seems like a high quality video. Did you think about bringing a gopro or a DSLR for video shooting?
@@hnshanan thanks for watching! Believe it or not, it’s all shot on an iPhone. We didn’t want to bring a DSLR bc it’s just too heavy as we were already carrying enough weight haha. And a GoPro can be done we just weren’t completely sure how the batteries would do in the extremely cold temps
How would the scramble compare to something like mt si?
@@S0GGYS0CKK in our opinion, a little bit more exposure and some more loose rock. Nothing terribly technical though. A little challenging section right below the summit, but more so bc of exposure than anything else. Thanks for watching!
Which month of year is this? Thanks!
It’s in July. Thanks for watching
Beautiful hike and views! The Enchantments are always special, but I particularly love them with larches!
@@AdventuresWithSpencer thank you! We agree. This was the first we’d done it with the larches turned. It’s truly magical!
next time I get up there I need to reach Prusik Pass, Gnome Tarn, and Little Annapurna
@@NickKendellMHH we’ve been to those spots before when we were fortunate enough to get camping permits. Little Annapurna offers an amazing panoramic view of the lakes. All three great spots! Really can’t go wrong up there
The illumination of the mountains' forests by the Sun rise is magical
Completely agree! Makes the early wake up so well worth it!
I was there in 2003.....
Wow you guys did Sloan too! Awesome video this one on my list not sure if too late this year? I did Black Peak Tuesday was so clear could see every peak for miles. Larches just barely starting to turn :)
@@justino611 Sloane and Black Peak are two of our favorites. Those larches between the lakes on your way up to Black Peak are spectacular.
Great video. I just climbed Mount Stuart on 9/19/24 and I may have used a different climber's path. I used the far west or left one from base camp which took you further up the mountain before joining the couloir.
Congrats on your climb! Just curious if you have any trouble coming down in terms of route finding? Or did you come down the same we we did? Thanks for watching!
Great video! I summited on Wed and hiked up over Long's pass under a full moon Tues night lighting up Stuart was so cool got a great photo. OMG so funny the keyhole! I couldn't fit either and was like good grief so walked down around it then up that ridge to the chimney below the summit block. Amazing up there indeed cheers!
Thank you so much! I bet being on Long’s Pass under the full moon was amazing. Hahaha yeah the keyhole is a bit tricky if one can’t fit. Glad you were able to summit and enjoyed the climb! Cheers!
Oh my it was spectacular ar the pass i have a great pic but not sure how to share if you’re interested. You guys def do some cool stuff. Larch season almost here!
@@justino611 thank you! We certainly enjoy being in the mountains as much as we can. Always looking forward to “larch madness!”
Larch madness ha! Why didnt i think of that lol.
cool video, who were your guides?
Thanks so much. We used Alpine Ascents
good choice. i am biased as i guide for Alpine Ascents and was up there this year as well. have you sent them your video? i bet they would appreciate it! @@marriedmountaineers
the sleds and tents looked familiar 😊
@@adamfrost9077 haha thanks! No didn’t send it to them. Still not really over our outcome haha. Been a tough one to get over.
Such a beautiful and picturesque hike my friend! This looks amazing 👌👌
Thanks so much!
I’d been looking for a video of climbing on Pisco so I really appreciate you sharing this video. Did you do an acclimatization hike before starting out towards basecamp?
We did a couple acclimatization hikes prior to heading to basecamp. We hiked to Laguna Churup first and then the following day we hiked to Laguna Mullaca y Carhuac which took us above 15,000ft. The next day we set out for Pisco basecamp. Good luck with your climb and thanks for watching!!
@@marriedmountaineers thanks!
I appreciate this. I'm more a naturalist when it comes to out of doors. Music in the background ruins it for me though. Need to listen to nature, not man-made nature.
@@AdornamentMaker. Totally understand. We started out making these videos for our family to watch some of things we get into and they’ve always enjoyed the music so we keep it on there. We appreciate you taking the time to watch, and thanks for commenting!
I've climbed both of those also via Leroy Basin. That is one intense trail getting there!
Hahaha yeah no kidding! It eases you in and then all the elevation comes at you at once 🤣
It's just Denali, not "Mount Denali".
@@Alaski thanks. Was just trying out some SEO stuff with the title. Made sure the thumbnail just says “Climbing Denali.” Thanks for watching
Why's the video feel more like a green-screen CGI movie?
@@CopperCityPatriot haha I guess that’s the beauty of Alaska. Waking up to some of those views don’t seem real
Sorry you didn't summit, the same had happened to me on a couple of climbs. As you undoubtedly know, mountaineering is 33% luck, 33% fitness, 33% timing . Absolutely stunning footage and a great video.
@@juanmckelvey Thank you for your kind words. It’s definitely a tough one to get over, but you’re exactly right. We’ll be back! Thank you for watching!
Awesome vid! Definitely want to check this area out someday
@@caseyoutside thank you so much! Yes, highly recommend! Worst part is the road getting to the trailhead haha. Not a bad hike at all getting to the meadows
Stunning. There is something special about summer meadows in full bloom. Vibrancy... Thank you for sharing this beauty with us
Agreed! So tranquil and relaxing (minus the mosquitos of course 🤣)
nice work. new subscriber
@@stevemakeithappenvideos thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the channel!
A very fine production! Thank you
Thank you! It’s certainly a beautiful hike
Fantastic place man, this looks so picturesque! Breathtaking lake 👏👏
It’s a definitely a stunning area but very touristy which is to be expected there haha. If you don’t mind the people, absolutely worth checking out!
Nice work, great video. Trails looked beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
@@TravelRunner thanks so much! Trails are definitely in great condition!
Thanks for the video! It really helps with planning for the hike!
@@epikvic no problem! Glad it helped!!
Epic adventure. Beautiful views of the mountain. Thanks for sharing your journey. You made it seem so easy. I’ll be doing the 7 days Machame route with Altezza January 2025. I don’t do so well with high altitude so I’m already prepared with all the meds, patches, teas, ginger candy, etc. Congrats on summiting! 🎉 🍾
@@Gettinglostonthetrail thank you so much! You know, it’s actually pretty gradual with the altitude, especially with the 7 day route. The only big day is the summit day where you go from about 14k to 19k in one push. That can be the day where you may really feel the effects of the altitude. Hope it all goes well though!!
You guys are 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
@@larafranks1576 thank you!
what was your itinerary/where did you camp each night?
@@peytonclark2476 Hi Peyton, good question. We did this in 3 days total. The first day we hiked up past White Pass and camped just below the high camp on an outcropping of rocks that was melted out. We summited on day 2 and originally planned to stay at our same campsite. However, a storm rolled in that evening and we were forced to move camps back closer to White Pass bc we were so exposed at our original campsite. Day 3 we packed up and hiked all the way out. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Outstanding hike my friend, this looks and feels amazing!
@@ervinslens thank you so much! That cold water sure did feel amazing!
Beautiful hike! Thanks for "taking me along" digitally!
@@AdventuresWithSpencer Highly recommend this hike! Thanks for watching!!
@@marriedmountaineers I'll add it to my list for when I can hike again!
@@AdventuresWithSpencer best of luck!
Quite the spectacle! Excellent and well made video. Thank you for sharing, :)
@@OutdoorExistential So kind of you to say. Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful scenery. The waterfall and sunrise are amazing.
@@williambrumage5302 agreed! The waterfall was amazing. Didn’t want to move away from it bc the mist felt so good!
Hi, is there any required pass just for parking at trailhead?
@@Emil-Thefrizzywanderer Hi there, we did not see any signage for any type of pass for trailhead parking. We didn’t put one out nor did we see anyone else with a pass of any sort. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for this, it brought back many memories from a climb in 1979 as part of our (4 of us) preparation for climbing Mt. Huascarán (which, I believe, nobody achieved that year as it avalanched pretty much continuously). Crossing the moraine was torturous, but we did it in the afternoon and then camped on the col overnight and summited the follow day. Spectacularly clear day. Something very special. Sad to see how climate change has changed the views. Things then were still very much in their infancy; 'guides' in Huaraz had wooden boards with nails through as crampons..
@@weeksteach thank you for sharing your story with us. We love hearing about people’s experiences. Amazing to hear how far the guides have come 😆. It certainly is an incredibly beautiful part of the world. Surely the views are quite different now from your time there. Thanks for watching!
I know I mentioned this frequently but I learned that geography classes in some other countries teach people that Denali & Aconcagua are on the same continent.
@@RFE812 😂 only close to 8,000 miles apart
@@marriedmountaineersYeah, especially since Denali is more closer to the Tian Shan mountains in Central Asia then it is to the Andes.
when was your hiking?
July 2023
The Summit of Mt Bross is private property, and hikers are not allowed up there. There are warning signs EVERYWHERE.
things have changed, they want you to sign a waiver, then you are free to hike to it.
@@jon22522 No, you are not. The waiver does not allow you to access the summit of Bross.
@@jon22522this is not true! the waiver allows you to be on the peak, but the summit is still off limits
@@jon22522 This is incorrect. The waiver allowed you to hike everywhere BUT the summit of Bross.
Thanks for this report. please publish some more wild flower hikes. (I know the season is almost over).
We’ll try! Thanks for watching
I’m climbing this November, do you have a gear dump video?
I’m sorry, we don’t have one! Best of luck on your climb though! It’s such a beautiful place!
I’ve hiked up there twice and when I read the title of your vid I was like trail run Baldy?! Ha! Great video.
Haha thanks so much! Yeah we may have been a little overzealous with this agenda. Certainly glad we didn’t run up Baldy trail though. Beautiful hike. Thanks for watching!
ive hiked to the top of Tyler back in 2012 when we lived in Sequim! Thank you for the memory!
It’s such a great hike that we just don’t hear a lot about. So beautiful! Thanks for watching!
Sorry that happened to you guys. I've been in a similar situation in that we made it to Camp 4 by day 3 and then top of the fixed lines (on a rest day)... then we got weathered in for about a week and had to come back down. I think of Denali often and may like to go back some day with the right crew. We had a crazy downclimb from 4 to 3 including one nerve-racking crevasse fall and felt very glad to get down safely and home to our families. Mountain will still be there!
Wow! Sounds like a heck of an adventure. This one is tough to swallow at the moment given how much effort we put into training (as I’m sure you’ve done yourself). But you’re right, mountain will still be there! Thanks for watching and your comment!
Absolutely stunning footage. Very sorry to hear about the setback but you made it back safely, and your system is dialed for next time or a different adventure. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you!! Yeah we’ll learn and grow from it for sure. Just a tough one to swallow right now
How did your knees handle that!? Wow!
😂
