Emigrant Wilderness backpacking | Kennedy Meadows to Emigrant Lake
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- July 2023... Late July 2023. Lots of snow above 9000 ft. And the mosquitoes were happy. This is a two night backpacking trip in the Emigrant Wilderness from Kennedy Meadows, to Emigrant Lake and North Fork Cherry Creek Falls, Stanislaus National Forest. Northern California waterfalls.
Mosquito school is over. Summer is here. The mosquitoes are ready to lay waste to the Sierra Nevada and from what I had heard, they were already having a party. A bloody party.
I hate mosquitoes! This is why I never go backpacking in the summer. But this is the year of the record snow pack, is it not? Maybe I could get one last backpacking trip in before the party got too ugly. The weather forecast looked very promising at the beginning of the week. Delta breeze. Cool temperatures. However, by the end of the week all that was gone. The heat was back. No wind. The mosquitoes were revving up for the weekend. Should I even go? I decided to continue my plan in hopes that they would not be too bad at the location I had chosen. I mean, how bad could it really be?

Be careful when you jump on the road 😁 .. you see those majestic trees in your videos, wow.. great location for the tent with the river behind it.. minute 07:02 magnificent with the lake -.-- when you cross the river the color of the sand/stones look golden...how many bridges/rocks did you cross today?😊 wonderful videos and places 😉👍💪ciao
Emigrant Wilderness is so beautiful, I loved it. Thanks 👍
Beautiful nature
Thanks!
Once more some amazing landscapes filled with rocky peaks, wonderful lakes and magnificent waterfalls. No wonder you want to enjoy these fabulous places alone. Glorious images again. Have a great week.
I do love it out there alone. Thanks so much
Great hiking trip! The Emigrant Wilderness is amazing! I love seeing the rocky landscape… you went to some amazing falls! Fun to see the trail horses and tour going by … I guess they leave little gifts along the way. Great views and nature!! I wish I lived closer!! 💚🌲⛰️💦💦🩵👍👍
it is a terrific place. I loved it. thanks Jennifer!
Sure some beautiful wilderness out there 🌲
No doubt! 😁
Thsis looks breathtaking, absolutely amazing landscapes my friend!
It is an awesome place. Thank you 😊
You see the best stuff on your overnights. It's like getting to eat everything on the menu. What a beautiful area.
It was amazing for sure. Thanks much!
Oh WOW this video has everything in it! That first meadow was gorgeous! Perfect picture setting! So many beautiful flowers! Like the new shoes!! I see you are still practicing those dance moves, nice job 😄 Love all those waterfalls, you got to see so many on this hike! That lake had awesome reflections on it!!! Those mosquitos looked huge! Don't drink the pink snow, lol exactly! So neat you can still see snow in July! So many horses and horse poop on this hike!!
yeah it's pretty popular with horses. One group said they were going to Emigrant Lake (where I went), but I don't see how horses would be able to manage the steep snow fields. Seems crazy to me. Ah well. It was certainly an amazing trip. Thanks so much.
Nice shoes, awesome bridge dance, i bet the driver was petrified! Your putting us to shame Leon, that was a belter of a bridge dance redo! Love the bear poop! Looks stunning out there, the waters are crystal clear. I bet that river was really refreshing. Such a rugged yet rewarding terrain. The noise of the falls was incredible, hope the mosquitoes left you alone. Cherry Creek a real stunner. You have the same mosquito nets we use in the summer to keep the flies away! Some great technical shots! Skipping on the third consecutive day.. thats incredible! And twirls ❤
I could never put you two to shame. You are the masters. Thanks so much, it was an incredible trip.
Beautiful! You are such a great hiker, as I would not be able to do that. The rewards are terrific - so many fabulous scenes. Love the evening shot with the orange clouds. Truly one with nature. Well done again, my friend. Big like and full play 👍. Thanks for sharing and take care 😀.
Thanks very much!
Absolutely beautiful. Loved it!

Summit Creek Falls was flowing a bit swiftly🤍@ 2:36 Gorgeous contrasting scenery with the bald ridge lying between Relief Reservoir and the evergreens in the backdrop🌲Nice underwater shot of the crystalline stream and the wildflowers look extremely bright against the beige landscape.

Brilliant you have so much fun [ Gooning around ] while out walking...i think i must start gooning around more...The falls down to Emigrant lake looked awesome....nice bridge twirls too.
Thanks so much. I try to make the videos somewhat entertaining. Lol.
Beautiful out there! Fantastic to get a couple nights out in the wilderness
Very beautiful area. Thanks Mitch!
Stanislaus is beautiful! Those water shots were great, those bugs must have been rough! ❤❤
The mosquitoes were a bit ridiculous, but oh well. It was still a beautiful trip. Thanks a lot!
Very nice place for hiking, love the falls and scenery 👍👍👍
Thanks 😊
First of all that 1st bridge dance was epic...those people thought you are a Madman. Secondly, you cherry creek looks a lot different than mine. Finally, I didn't know Amy Grant had a wilderness named after her. Awesome ,awesome shots in there and great edit. Thank s for making my morning cardio a little easier.
I had to really think about your Amy Grant comment. I finally got it. LOL. Thanks a lot man. It was an amazing trip.
@@waterfallmadman yeah shows how old I am when not even the Madman gets my references anymore.
If you are not bridge twirling you are walking across rivers lol and despite the sun, still plenty of snow about too. Nice looking Falls there and great place to camp and watch the skies rolling by. I take it was the horses pooping on the bridge and not you....cheers Alan
Heaven forbid I poop on trail. Lol. Thanks Alan. It was an amazing trip.
Great, my friend 🙂
Many thanks!
Excellent video. So many waterfalls and great views. New pair of Salomon's as well. Very nice.
Thank you 😊 it was an amazing trip.
Thank you 😊 it was an amazing trip.
@@waterfallmadman Which Salomon's did you get?
Some awesome falls and views with the place to yourself. I think I'd hate that wading thro water and getting my feet wet so much. Still you need to take the rough with the smooth I guess 👍
Lots of getting feet wet this year for sure. Ha ha. Thanks a lot. 😁
Wonderful sharing😊❤
new friend
Thanks!
Awesome hiking adventure here beautiful scenery stay safe always 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks much!
You really show some beautiful footage of Northern CA. I enjoy watching your videos. I know not to eat yellow snow but I’ve never heard of pink snow before. Just wondering what is the cause of the pink snow? 👍
the color is caused by an algae. thanks a lot for your comments, Craig.
come to support, thank you for sharing interesting videos, I like your content, keep up the good work, always success for all of us
Thank you for watching my video
