That's so true! The Sierra is magical

@ I should be going this fall for the JMT. So excited.

Thank you!! Very glad you enjoyed it :-)

Ahhhh I‘m so so happy to hear that!!

@@Zoomdak thank you so much! I found it so hard to capture how I felt when I was in the Sierra and I’m happy to hear people get that feeling when they watch :-) welcome to the channel hehe! 🤍

@@abdulholik1886 hey! I got there by thru hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, but if you’re interested in his section, you can check out the John Muir Trail! :-) it’s very far off the grid so plan for some time ;-)

@helena_hikes thank you helena. Dont forget to visit Indonesia. We have lot of mountains. 👍🏿

@@Morphytravels it was probably worth running 10 k! omg I only heard a cougar once in the desert at night and it was probably the scariest sound I ever heard. Very happy they spared me on that day on the Sierra haha.

Thank you so much, Kite! I’m so happy you enjoy the videos, I put a lot of effort in them! :-) thanks for being part of this amazing adventure.

I feel exactly the same - except, I want to come back to see the Sierra in snow! I think it’s a magical place, no matter the season. But I’m very happy we got to see it like this in good weather, off the peak-season…

@bberenson001 glad you enjoyed it! Yeah it’s SO different! Before I went there, I only knew the Sierra in snow from NOBO Videos. :-)

@emilbratteberg1455 thank you so much! I’m so happy you liked it :-)

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! :-)

I‘m so glad I could!

@@ChadM10 glad you enjoyed it :-)

Hi! I didn't track it in detail but I think for the whole trail probably around 1500 €!

@@magdalenamase9116 Danke!! 🥰 Ja das habe ich geplant, nach den Episoden. Dauert noch ein bisschen aber ist in the making. :-)

I chose to edit after the trail because it is very time consuming and while I’m out there I want to spend time with my friends and enjoy the trail. I uploaded shorts while I was on the hike which were „real time“ and regular updates on Instagram. I assume you didn’t see those. I don’t care about donations, I just want to share my passion for the outdoors. :-) thank you anyway for your comment.

Sponsor me, @Nutella

This was end of August/early September :-)

@ ah I see awsome video. I was just wondering as I’m going out there this year .

@@Archonotrix are you hiking SOBO?

@@_Terc_ you are absolutely correct sir.😂😂😂

Thank you! 🥰❤️ glad you liked it! Hope you’re excited for the next 2 episodes hehe

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it :-)

12th of July! I’d recommend going a bit earlier or a bit later though. This was the hottest month of the year 😅

@@emmap8751 hey! Im glad you liked it :-) Canada: 2nd July. Oregon: 2nd August California border: 20th August. Forester Pass: 5th October. KMS: 9th October Mexico: 6th November

​​@@helena_hikesawesome thanks for the info. Looks like you had a few people around most of the way - nice to know that's possible vs the classic rhetoric of going SOBO = always being alone! 😁 Did you have to miss any sections with fires?

@@emmap8751 SOBOs definitely don’t have to be alone if they don’t want to! I missed a small part of Oregon due to a fire and then another small part of California. But overall missed less than most NOBOs that year :-)

@@danchapman8218 hey! Glad you enjoyed it :-) Kite was 57 or 58 (I forgot exactly) when we hiked. You definitely have! I met quite some older folks out there ☺️ a northbound hike will give you a bit of a longer time frame to hike the trail and also I met many people doing sections if the whole thing seems a bit scary :-)

@@tadghsmith1457 it worked out with my schedule but I also liked the idea that it was a little less social, I was excited to start in Washington and be in the desert when it’s not hot anymore. Overall it just seemed like the better way to me personally :-)

@@Ludachris610 hey! Glad you liked it. I started on the first of July and finished 6th November. There was quite some snow in Washington, whether or not that’s a problem for someone is very personal. We met a lot of people quitting or turning around before touching the border, but me and my hiking partner found it not too bad as we have experience with backcountry skiing. Sure it is annoying and you have wet feet, but NOBOs also have that in the Sierra. :-) there was NO high water at all in the Sierra, I had to only take my shoes off once and that was because I missed the proper place to cross the river. It’s mostly rock hopping for SOBOs. :-) hope that helps!

@helena_hikes Thank You so much!!

@@tifacoba I actually already did the GR11 and GR221. This year I want to hike the Alta Via and maybe join a friend for a section of the hexatrek. Nothing big for now :-)

@@LukeBennett-y5w hahahahahha I also had to laugh so bad at that clip 😂

@@Anna-uh7qx I‘m so happy to hear that! For me these videos are so emotional too, because I am reliving those memories, but I’m so happy, I can bring the feeling across for others too. 🥹 I completely understand you’re worried about starting your hike. I felt exactly the same! You’re about to start a MASSIVE thing, it’s so normal to be nervous and worried. The hardest thing for me was starting. As soon as I took the first steps on the PCT, suddenly everything was so easy and natural. I hope you’ll have an amazing time on the PCT!!! I wish I could do it all again :-)

@@helena_hikes This helps me so much :) Thank-you, Helena. You the best!

happy you enjoyed it!

@@heroaw888 so happy you liked it! Definitely do it, it’s such an amazing experience!!!

@@fl-rando glad you enjoyed it!

@@_Terc_ happy to hear that!! 🥰

@@tinklehikes honestly my favourite part of the PCT! 🥹😍

@@Gruftgrabbler thank YOU for watching!

@@ahoward3819 thank you so much! Glad you liked it!

@@fehradventures thank you so much!!

@@danieljudkowicz1667 the fastest people did the SMT was around 24 days and the fastest people did the GR11 was just over 30 days :-)

@ thanks for the quick reply i appreciate it! If you don’t mind me asking as about some other hikes such as the Eagle walk in Austrian, Alta Via 1 in Italy and Tour Mont Blanc? Thanks!

@ I haven’t hiked those myself, so I don’t have any first hand experience. But I think you can find that info online!

Thank you!!! ❤️

@@gerrylake yeah actually we had to skip around wildfire closures but even with those skips it was still a fast thru. :-)
