Lovely to see you high on life. Nothing like hiking the coastal regions....we do it nearly every day. Thanks for a great video.
That’s fantastic! You’re lucky to live so close. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Really enjoyed this one Lauren. Stunning scenery all to yourself and a good length trail, not too short, not too long.
Thank you!! This was such a fun one. And yes, a really good length too

Thank you! I loved this one!
Thanks for sharing . Good vibes . Glad you made it safe !
Thanks so much! This was one of my favourite hikes :)
Thanks for inspiring me to do this trip! I also couldn't stop laughing on the narrated parts. :)
I’d highly recommend it! I had a great time!
Great video. Yeah, Chin to Bear is no joke.
Thank you! Yes that was a long section!
Nicely done! Looks like a beautiful hike! Keep rocking the videos! Very inspiring! 😊
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great vlog. Subbed keep them coming. I just got into trail running and I love going out on my own!
Thanks so much! Welcome aboard :) I’ll be posting part 3 today!
Another brilliant piece of art my friend, this was composed just stunningly! Narrated part is 🔥🔥
Thank you so much! I was playing with some new styles and glad it worked!
Amazing video! Very inspiring.😊
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I live on the Island, and the hikes adjacent to the coast are magical.
They sure are!
I'm also fortunate enough to e-cycle commute through similar wilderness every day I head to and from work.
Beautiful video! Loved the narration, photography and music.
Thank you so much!!
Lauren, I loved this video and was literally smiling from beginning to end. Thank you for capturing what an awesome adventure the Juan de Fuca trail is!! We've done many trips on the trail and it was a great place to get our girls into backpacking (camping on beaches = endless entertainment!) As I was watching I was thinking what a perfect trip it would make to try out solo backpacking.
Aww I’m so happy you enjoyed it! This was the perfect trail for solo backpacking, especially as a first trip. I absolutely loved it. :)
That's a beautiful film of your adventure Lauren. The coast looks amazing and challenging. Nice one ;)
Thank you! It’s a great trail, I would recommend it for sure.
Never was really into the coastal trails but this video may have changed my mind. The views and environment just look spectacular, awesome trip!
That's so good to hear! It's not a peak bagging type of hike, but so serene and beautiful. I would highly recommend it :)
Nice Lauren. Really enjoyed that.
You’ve come a long way with your vids. Good stuff!
Thank you!! ☺️
Great video! I wish I was near a beach, it’s so lovely.
Thank you! I am such a fan of hikes near the ocean now :)
Welcome to Canada! Glad you enjoyed the hike and with not too much rain which Vancouver Island is known for.
I live in Canada and am Canadian! haha :) But thank you-- There was only about an hour of rain the whole time!
I've really enjoyed this! I watched last night in bed on my ipad mini and knew I should be watching this on my desk top lol. I live in south Florida so had been looking for hikes that are different. A couple years ago now I found a list I bookmarked on Outdoor Vancouver, "14 Incredible Overnight Hikes around Vancouver" and this was on it. Just over a year ago I hiked the Long Trail in Vermont specifically for the leaf change since every time I go up north It's either the middle of the summer or middle of winter.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Definitely keep this hike on your list- I absolutely loved it. :)
Actually it reminds me of beautiful braided garlic (ajo in Spanish). Blended purple and white. Stunning really.
Thank you!!
Love your hair ! Is that purplish platinum? Very unique. I have never seen such.
Thanks! It was hot pink at this time :)
I loved this video and am planning on hiking this trail in august or September. Can I ask what kind of water filtration system you were using?
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it :) I used the sawyer squeeze. I also have the platypus quick draw. Both are great
Beautiful! What time of year did you do the hike?
Thanks! I did this in September :) I’d say it was the perfect time to do it
Looks like a great time, I know what you mean about coastal hiking. I applied for a job maintaining that trail once but they picked someone else unfortunately. Have you done the SCT yet? It's absolutely spectacular, a must do hike. In my opinion it's the longest trail of its quality anywhere in Canada. That, and its counterpart the Suncoaster mtb route.
Yes! This trail is so lovely, too bad about the job :/ I did the SCT in May and absolutely loved it.
@@LaurenRoerick what was your favorite part? Mine was probably Feather Cove with the view of Desolation Sound. I got a crazy panoramic sunset on Tin Hat too. It's hard to choose. I gotta go back and do it again one day, it would be fun to run it with minimal gear.
Gorgeous! Tin hat hut was socked it while I was up there but it was so nice and cozy and full of other hikers to hang out with :)
Trail coffee is the human experience.
Happy wednesday,ebjoyed this lovely video ,with my hot chocolate ☕debs xx......
Love to hear it 💜
@@LaurenRoerick my pleasure you have a lovely channel debs xx
Those aren't sea otters. They are river otters.
Oh, well they were in the ocean haha so I just assumed!
so nice! vancouver island was supposed to be my next big trip and then the pandemic hit. question: no bears, no mountain lions in that area?
Aw that’s too bad!! Hopefully you get to go sometime. There are both, signs are posted with info and bear boxes are at every camp site.
@@LaurenRoerick aren't you scared of being attacked? i've seen videos of mtn. lions stalking hikers. fortunately they had a gun to scare them off
Honestly no. The stats show that it’s super rare. I always keep my food safe and away from me at night and during the day I make noise and have had no trouble
Hiking stupor/hiking high - same difference 🤷🏻♀️
Haha basically!
Did I miss a video? What happened to film school?
It ended in May. It was just a quick 16 week class
@@LaurenRoerick I sent you an IG message. It will probably be held in limbo unless you look for it. Love your videos...
