- Hey guys! Welcome back to another video here on the channel. One of my most popular uploads has been the Heather/Maple Pass Loop day hike in Washington State. Bordering the North Cascades National Park, this hike is a true gem and is one of the most beautiful day hikes you can do in the Pacific Northwest. This is a virtual trail guide that should aid in planning a trip here, and should give you the information and knowledge needed to check this hike off your list.

Keep making these virtual guide videos, i will subscribe. Your video can be compared as hiking world of Google map with street views mentioning location, time, distance and level. It is invaluable for people who haven't been there. Your girlfriend is beautiful and your cinematography has good taste and is smooth, no wasting frames nor trash talks. Feels like watching a movie. We are going to Washington in the next couple years' vacation. Me and my wife are very impressed by this video while wanting to understand and plan our first best visit to North Cascade.
thanks for this hike, it'',s now on my bucket list, currently limited to my walking distance, this gives me motivation to get stronger and get back on the trail
Heck yeah! I hope you get to knock it out sometime. Thanks for watching!
Wir waren im Juni 2023 dort, und es war eine der schönsten Wanderungen unserer Tour an der Westküste (CA, NV, OR, WA)... Absolut großartige Aussichten, dazu ein Stapfen durch Schneereste und das Pfeifen des Windes... Sehr alpin, aber ohne jegliche Berghütten, Seilbahnen und Hüttengaudi - Natur pur... Vielen Dank für die schönen Bilder, die uns daran erinnern (den Abstecher zum See haben wir auch gemacht). Fazit: absolut empfehlenswerte Rundwanderung.
Came over from Newbold’s channel.
Very impressive video. Well done. Gladly subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your fine cont.
Hey thanks a lot Mark! Glad to have you along over here. I haven’t gotten to watch Bryce’s big vid from our trip yet but hopefully will here soon. I appreciate the support, thanks again.
Great video! I did this mid week a few years back and loved it.
It's a beautiful hike! I really want to go back and climb Black Peak! Thanks so much for watching, man!
Can't wait to go on this hike
Yeah this one is pretty spectacular. You get some insane views in a relatively short distance travelled. Hope you get to check it out sometime! Thanks for watching.
Great video as always Danny. I agree for a day hike it’s easily one of the top in the PNW. I went in October last year and it was stunning, but will say without doubt most crowded trail I have ever been to, think Colchuck x5 lol.I Would recommend a weekday to avoid the traffic, America the beautiful pass tag also works instead of the $5 fee.
Thanks Cris, and I appreciate the added info! Yeah as I mentioned we got to the trailhead late, and started early so we didn't see a ton of people at that point.. but when we got back to the trailhead in the afternoon the crowds were insane. Colchuck X5 is a good comparison! Thanks for checking out the video man and I appreciate the continued support!
Always, brother! 🤙🏻
What a cinematic experience my friend, these shots are beyond spectacular. Simply breathtaking 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much! The scenery this one provides in such a short distance was so awesome. Can't thank you enough for the comment and for the support! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing, looks fantastic!!
Thanks for checking it out!!
I loved this video! As someone who's always looking for new hiking trails to explore, your guide to the Maple Pass Loop in Washington State was super helpful. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and I can't wait to experience it for myself. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Hey thank you so much! I can't express how much I appreciate this comment. I checked out your channel and it looks like you do a lot of hiking in Norway? I can imagine that scenery is breathtaking as well! I'm looking forward to checking out some of your videos and am going to sub. Thanks again for the comment and for the support! Cheers!
Great video Danny!
Thanks for checking it out, Scott!!
Oh man, what a great new concept!!! My Mom and I loved this video!!! You are always thinking of new and creative ways to present your content!!! We LOVE this format. Another GRAND SLAM!!! What a great way to repurpose your camera work and create more value for your viewers!!!We would watch EVERY SINGLE trip you have taken in this "Trail Guide" format. Soooo, entertaining!!!
Your camerawork on your videos is always second to none!!! Your narration ROCKS and you NAILED the script!!! Your mapwork (not sure if that is a word, but I will make it one if it is not 😊) is AWESOME!!! Google, those trail maps, and Relive maps provide a great source of valuable information!!!
We also loved the additional info on the side trails and your personal thoughts and tips, based on your experience, are invaluable!!! The pop ups are a great way to add the relevant data points to the narration, especially the pop up of Maple Pass from a distance. That gives such a great perspective!
BTW: I remember commenting on the original video how cool it would be to camp on an island that was in the middle of an Alpine Lake! (5:04 mark). 😊
The music in the background is perfect!!! Perfect balance of listenability and sound level. It is subtle but adds so much to the video! All those details added together create an unbelievable viewing experience!
Great job combining all of that very useful and incredible content into a video less than 10 mins!!! There is an expression I heard in the boxing world, called pound for pound. It is when you compare fighters when all things are equal. Well, you just created a minute for minute comparison. You can compare your trail guide to any other trail guide out there minute for minute and you would be the Mike Tyson of trail guides!!! A knockout each time!!!
You can make an entire playlist of trail guides!!! I would be shocked if they were not insanely popular!!! That was a jam packed 9-minute video!!! You crammed so much useful, valuable, and breathtaking information into such a short video. I am guessing this took a ton of work!!! There was so much detail and you can tell a lot of thought and prep went it to this!!! You added so many additional sources and crushed it with the narration!!! If we had a complaint, it was we wish there were more!!!! 😊
We think you saved the best tip for last, make sure you make memories!!!
Hope you, Tessa, and Lolly are doing well! Can’t wait for your next adventure!!! Any ideas on what the first trek of 2023 will be?
Be well and stay safe!!!
Hey MonGo!! Man thanks so much for this comment! I'm glad you guys enjoyed the new 'virtual trail guide' idea!! I kind of based it on my "Enchantments Tips" video as it's been the best upload here on the channel so I thought I'd try and create a way to do that with more videos!
I'm glad putting al the mapping in and the different shots made sense! Haha narration has always been my crux. When I'm filming it I feel like Morgan Freeman talking about Marching Penguins.. but when I listen to it back it's not quite there 😂 So I appreciate the comment on the narration.
Glad you enjoyed the pop-ups!! One of the biggest things I've learned in the past year or so is that it's okay to forget to say things or miss placing certain key points in the video.. because that's where the pop-ups come into play. It's a really easy way to piggy back certain topics!
Now that you say it I definitely remember you commenting about the island!!
Glad you enjoyed the subtle music in the background! Finding the right tune to play to videos can be a chore.. You don't want it to sound too sad, or be too loud and upbeat.. it has to be just right so thank you!
Haha I love the pound for pound and minute for minute comparithon! I'll take the Mike Tython label for trail guideth any day 🌲😊
Yeah I may make a few more of these! They're good videos to make this time of year. We've had some gnarly North Idaho weather lately so I've been stuck indoors for the most part. We've had more below 0 weather this year than I can even remember in previous years. Whew, this probably took me 15-20 hours to create.. First, I typed everything out. Then, I narrated it. Then, I put the narration into Adobe Premiere. Then, I added all the video and edits into that! It took some time, but I definitely didn't have to travel or go anywhere to film it! I'll probably make some more for the more popular trails.
I was thinking of making one for Mount Storm King in the Olympic National Park... but I don't know if I'm going to any longer. Apparently, National Parks are now requiring filming permits for commercial filming in the parks.. which falls under any video uploaded to RUclips. I'm not sure of the ramifications of what could happen if I don't have a permit, but I'm not sure I want to even use old footage to create that video. I'm a little worried because it could extend to wilderness areas and other federal land which would obviously effect the channel, but we'll see what happens! I'll email you over some information that I found on that as I feel like you'd be interested in it.
As far as the first trip of 2023 goes.. I'm not quite sure yet! I'm a bit of a pansy when it comes to snow adventures (avalanches) so that's why I tend to take the winter off. I loved the Star Peak Lookout last year however and I'd love to find something similar to that! The problem is trailhead access this time of year.. They basically have to be right off of a main roadway. We have a local one called Maiden Rock that I may knock out with Lolly soon. It would be a lot like Evan's Landing and is nearby to that!
As always, thanks so much for the comment and for all the support you guys show to the channel! I hope 2023 is off to a good start for you and your mom! Cheers!
@@DannyJSchaefer My friend, you are crushing the narration! My Mom said you are so professional in everything you do! BTW: Morgan Freeman wishes he could narrate as well as you do! 😉
Most people just leave text annotations in their videos, but you go the extra mile with the pop-ups. We love the details, but not many videos use a pop-up as a way point. We are glad you enjoy using them. From the viewer perspective, your pop-ups are polished and professional looking.
Hehehehehe, glad you liked the Tyson comparison!!!
Super happy you are considering making more!!! To your point, the virtual trail guides (VTG) would be a great way to produce content during the off season. You can recap the adventures you had earlier in the year.
BTW: I checked the weather in SP the other day, and it was like 3 degrees at 8 AM my time. It looks like it is about 23 there now, so it must be a heatwave coming through! 🤣
There is no doubt it took 15-20 hours to create the video. I was thinking it would take longer. You packed a ton of info and outside content sources into that video. It was impressive to jam all of that in under 10 mins.
I was excited to hear about Mount Storm King in the Olympic National Park project, but oh man, total gut punch to hear about the National Parks requiring filming permits!!! Leave it to the Federal Government to over complicate something simple. I just watched the video you sent me. I guess I can understand some of the points, but WOW, did they overreach IMO. I like Jeven’s suggestions on balancing some of the legitimate concerns vs. our rights and freedom. Not to mention how unclear their wording is in the new reg. Reminds me of how they deal with gun laws. Drives me nuts! But I will save that rant for another time. I did not see/hear the cost of the permit, but Jeven mentioned it would take 90 days to get one. Yikes, typical government bureaucracy. Not to mention YT's policy on what they want and do not want to enforce. If they start handing out strikes, it could get ugly in a hurry.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention and sending me the video. I am going to follow this and see what I can do on my end.
Bro, you are no pansy!!! Unfortunately, I know some of them and that AIN'T you! Avalanches are a big concern. I just heard about one in Leavenworth WA a couple of weeks ago. I think there was a party of 6 and 3 of them lost their lives. Very sad indeed. Avalanches are no joke!!!
We loved Star Peak Lookout. My Mom just commented that you found the package of Swiss cheese there and remembered you took it home to throw it away!!!
Completely get it re: access to the trailhead, especially with the weather you guys had this season!!!
OMG, I know exactly where Maiden Rock is. I have been stalking that area on Google maps for a while. 🙃. I looked at two properties in that area!!! I literally spent HOURS viewing that area on Google, Bing, Apple, etc. maps and viewing all the images associated with that trail!!! What a gorgeous area!!! We hope you find the time to make it out there this season!!!
You are very welcome! And we thank you for all your efforts and all the enjoyment you bring us. Yes, 2023 is off to a good start! We hope the same is true for you guys!!!
Totally agree!
I will be in Washington for the first time in a couple months and I think I am going to make a day to do this. I keep seeing this and am always in awe. Thank you for this guide, I saw the original video and this is fantastic to include. Stunning views.
Yeah!! I’m so glad you enjoyed both videos! I really appreciate the comment and the sub. I hope you get to tackle this hike when you’re able to make it out here. I truly don’t think you’ll regret it. Thanks again!
We were in our 60s when we backpacked and camped at Lake Ann in late September 2020. It is such a glorious place to experience!!
How awesome! I agree it's one for the books! Thanks so much for the comment and for checking out the video! I hope you guys get some more miles on the trails this summer. Cheers!
With such a positive video like this, you make my day :)
I can’t express how much I appreciate this comment. Thank you so much for watching it! :)
Stunning views. Love it!❤
Thanks Jerry! I can't thank you enough for the continued support! Cheers.
Thank you for this breakdown!!! That kind of information is priceless! I will definitely hike this if I live through this wind and cold we're having in Sandpoint right now 😂
Haha oh I know it! I feel like we live in the Arctic Tundra right now with the wind drifts and how cold it's been. I hope you get to knock this one out sometime, Darla! Thanks for watching it!!
beautiful place...so majestic!!!.....so different from my swamps!
Ha! It's definitely an awesome place that's for sure. Thanks so much for watching and for the continued support, Mike! Cheers!
Nice trail guide. Beautiful place, wonderful views. 👍
Thanks so much NHT!! I bet you have some pretty similar spots over your way. I can't thank you enough for the continued support and I hope you're well. Cheers!
Great video! The colorful back pack, looks stunning! May I know what brand and size it is? Thanks 😊 upload more hiking videos ❤
Thank you so much!! This will forever go down as one of the prettiest trips we've been able to hike. And yes! It's a Cotopaxi backpack. I believe it's the Tarak 20L pack which you can find here on Amazon: amzn.to/45mG3cn
It's an awesome pack because no two packs are the same and they're made of recycled fabric. Thanks so much for watching the video!!
I did this one in September of 2022. It is one of my favorites for sure!! ~Lynnette
I still haven't found one that has as great of scenery as this one in the relatively short distance it took to complete it. This hike is awesome! I just want to go back in Mid-October for the larches one of these years. Thanks for watching Lynnette!!
@@DannyJSchaefer I missed the larches by a couple of weeks. It is definitely on my bucket list too. :-) ~Lynnette
Dude, this is by far the absolute best trail guide video that I've ever seen! The way that you put this together and all of the information that you included is invaluable to anyone looking to tackle this hike. From all of the detailed info, to the trail specifics (down to the exact mileages for everything), to giving a great sense of what the trail actually looks like... it's perfect! And... it's entertaining to watch too! I think you very well may have found an EXCELLENT new sub niche to your channel brother! 👍
Thanks John!! I've been wanting to tackle this one for awhile now, and I'm glad I finally did! It's been pretty well received and I'll probably make a few more. They make for great winter time videos, as the weather hasn't been too kind for adventuring as of late. I really appreciate the feedback!! I was wondering if you wouldn't mind shooting me over an email as I have a question for ya?
@@DannyJSchaefer You're more than welcome Danny! I'm definitely glad that you did too... this is absolutely amazing man! Looking forward to more 👍
P.S. I sent you a quick email earlier today. Be more than happy to answer your question if I can brother 👍
Great job with the video here, Danny. I've watched this and a few others that you have posted...You do a nice job.
Does anyone know if there is an option to backcountry camp anywhere along the Maple Pass Loop? Not looking for a formal campground, but a flat spot to come off the trail somewhere. Many areas around the country require a permit. However, I can't find anything online that speaks to backcountry permits around Maple Pass (or many other areas in the NCascades other than the Enchantments). Any feedback / comments are appreciated. Thanks
Hey thank so much Jay! Sorry for taking a few days to get back to you here. Off the top of my head I believe you can camp, as I've seen videos of some people who camp just outside of the Maple Pass Loop towards Black Peak. Maybe search for Black Peak and you can gain some inspiration there? Otherwise, I highly recommend calling the ranger station that correlates with this area. They will give you all the information you should need. Thanks again for watching and for following along on the channel!
I m planning to do this hike 8th October.. would you recommend this hike in October? Much love from Toronto canada
