What an amazing trail, we've been wanting to piece together a hike that would take us from the Hessie TH up to Camp Dick. Granted, things didn't go as planned, it was a great outing. We're solid with the route and can't wait to get back out there!
Thank you, Bill. The IPW has been a long favorite of ours. This is an area we've only seen from a distance, till now, and have wanted to explore for some time. It has been part of an ongoing project to come up with a 4 to 5 day end to end thru hike of the IPW. Access to Caribou Lake can be made via Arapaho Pass (4th of July TH), Caribou Pass ((Junco Lake TH), and Arapaho Creek TH (Monarch Lake). Hands down, it is one of the best destinations in the IPW. Let us know if you get there and how your experience was! 😎
Caribou has easily made its way into the top tier category for a day hike or overnight trip. That said, we're confident we've come up with a mapped out 4 to 5 day thru hike in the IPW.
Your Videography is just spectacular. Just watched your other two films where your pup got sick. Glad everything worked out for all four of you. May I ask what camera you film with? Your editing is very smooth too.
Thank you for the kind words, it really means a lot to us! We're pretty simple with our gear, just using GoPro cameras, a Hero 7 Black and a Hero 9 Black. They're lightweight, can handle the elements, and are simple to use. We started using GoPro back in late 2018 in preparation for documenting our Colorado Trail thru hike in 2019 and have been happy with them ever since.
I see you’re still using the trusty Duplex. I’m currently trying to make up my mind on whether to take my Plex Solo or the Duplex on the CT. While the solo did great on my Weminuche trip and the weight savings is a good thing, I feel it might become a bit claustrophobic feeling for 5 weeks on trail. Decisions, decisions.
Duplex worked great for both of us on the CT and is just as good for one! All of our gear and the pups fit inside, which is super important to us, we don't like leaving anything outside for critters to get at. An added plus, if you get caught in a storm, you have room, and it has one of the fastest pitches around. That said, we really enjoy the Triplex for all the same reasons, just a little more room.
Awesome video! Heading there next week with my daughter!
Thank you, it really is a great area of the IPW. Enjoy!
Added to my list, maybe next year. Thanks for the ride!

Beautiful video. Nice music. I have never been to that part of Indian Peaks. Looks like I have some new exploring to do.
