Thanks for posting this video! Really helpful for planning an upcoming trip!
we didn't get the view you got because of the fog, but coming back for it here was great too. It was still magical and otherworldly up on the lateral moraine. Thanks!!!!
Awesome video! It’s amazing to see how much the landscape changes. Keep it up! 🤙
Thanks bro!
Thank you for documenting this hike.. when I did this in the summer of 1980 all I had was a cheap film camera.. no 4K back then. I noticed a big difference in the glacier compared to then...it was much wider and deeper with huge cravases rolling down like an open book.. I realize it was covered in snow here in this video, the cravases were opened and deep blue.. I scrabled down to the edge and you could see down into them and there was the occasional groaning sound along with the sound of running water deep underneath. I hope it builds back up to what it once was.. the tappered edge was farther down also closer to the drop off with a beautiful waterfall extending down to the River. I still have those photos.. as crude as they are by comparason, but your video brought my memories rushing back. I remember back then stopping to chat with the Ranger at Glacier Meadows.. I have a picture of him sitting on the wood deck platform.. there was an orange tent structure mounted on the deck.. he was working the summer for college credit. I believe he said re-supplies were set down via helecopter. Very cool guy, I'll never forget taking a splash bird bath on the edge of Elk lake.. it was way too cold to even think of getting all the way in.. it was refreshing to say the least. I splashed to get wet, then moved to the side to soap myself--hio soap, then went back into the edge to splash rise. It was a welcome feeling and I slept well to be ready for the mornings sprint to the glacier; I walked all the way out after visiting the glacier like you did being that it's mostly all down hill. Thanks again for the video.. I'm watch the end section now about the route. One other thing, the part where the trail begins the uphill portion...a large cedar tree--about 10 feet wide had fallen across the trail...trail maintenance had cut a 3-5 foot wide cookie out and rolled it to one side.. me and my buddy sat atop of it and took a break...it was enormous and had the typical red center star burst which smelled like fresh cherry pie right out of the oven.. crazy that I remember that, but it was so pronounced...you couldn't egnore it. Wow, such memories.
Very cool, thanks for sharing your memories. Yes I went a bit early in the season so the glacier was pretty much covered in snow, i hope to go again soon and see it while it is not a covered and can see the crevasse. Very cool about that tree, ill have to try to see about those red centers next time i see one
@@marcump try refreshing it’s there in my end
Man the views out there are awesome!
Thanks! I agree! One of my favorite hikes
@@BackcountryRenegade you're welcome! Looks great 👍 we really enjoy filming our hikes as well
Wonderful, thank you so much.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great video Jeff. It's amazing how much more snow there is on the trail then in early July!
Thanks Shane!
Thanks for posting this video. Have a trip planned for the Blue Glacier early September, so trying to get a barring on what to expect. Maybe less snow by then?
Also actually have the Osprey Rook the Daylite pack attaches on to. Could lach it on for the extra volume and day hiking aftrr hiking into camp.
Nice. Yes all the snow is gone now from what I hear until you get to the moraine
I have probably hiked 2/3's of all the trails in the Olympics, over many decades, off and on, but have only once seen a black bear (but hundreds of goats). That was in the alpine meadows above Honeymoon Meadows, the headwaters of the Dose in the south east section of the range. Apparently black bears are numerous there(?), and over in the next watershed in Enchanted Valley. I remember camping at the top of Lacrosse pass, on top of this little knoll, and upon waking in the morning, I saw a black dot about 300 yards or so east of me, headed my direction, slowly getting bigger and bigger. I picked up everything in like 15 seconds, shoved it all in a disordered manner into my pack, and darted off, nearly running, up and over the south ridge heading toward Lake Cushman. I remember picking up my tent, a typical two pole, floorless tarp - I did not really pick it up - more like I grabbed the whole thing and shoved it in my pack in one swooping motion. I was scared, but that was my first and only run in with a bear. It was a troublesome morning since I later stepped on a ground nest of bees and got stung seven times in my left leg once I went over the top of the pass. I hobbled out to Lake Cushman the next day with a football size knee (thank God for my treking poles). A friend of mine also said he encountered black bears only in that region, and he had spent much time in the Olympics. This was a four day solo trip from Dose to Lake Cushman - Adventures! Nice video, keep it up, I like your video style.
i'm surprised - i see black bears every time i am there. had a close encounter with one at five mile island last week.
I'm curious, is there actually a trial to summit Mt. Olympus? I would love to get more info on the peninsula..From what i could tell, there aren't many other hikes up into that area from otherr approaches.. I suppose that's a good thing though. It still looks as pristine as it did when I did the hike in 1980. the avalanche chute of course wasn't there. Besides the blue glacier's cravases being covered in snow it looks pretty much the same.. stunning as ever.
Great video! I attempted this hike in Aug 2021 but ended up injuring my leg on day 1. So I rested overnight and hiked/limped back out the next day.
Maybe next time! Good to see an Olympic Peninsula backpacker on YT! I live in Kitsap county so the OP is my favorite place to escape.
love your chair man! how is the pack weight?
Thanks! It’s the helinox chair zero. Weighs only a pound, I’ll have a dedicated vid on it soon comparing it to other similar chairs and talk about why it is my chair of choice
@@BackcountryRenegade Cheers! Always nice to have something sturdy to sit on when you get to camp early... or even put your shoes on outside your tent without getting the socks dirty/damp xD
I have a scenario, lets say there's two people sharing the Double Rainbow Li, and the weather is rainy. They both have about 60l packs. Do they fit well in the vestibules? Cheers. 😅😊
my review on the double rainbow will be coming soon. While the vestibules are not massive, there is sufficient room for a pack on each side.
@@BackcountryRenegade Looking forward to it! 😊
What time of year did you complete this hike? I was thinking of doing it the end of June. Do you think that's too early?
I did this end of june. Id recommend mid July
Nice tent, how was the condensation on this hike?
Thanks. I have a great review on the tent coming soon I had no issues with condensation on this trip. I also have the condensation layer in it. I’ve had more condensation when there are two people in it.
What time of year did you go?
this was to mid June. Most people usually wait to July
