As an avid Adirondack hiker AND video watcher, I gotta say... if this isn't the best ADK hiking video I've ever seen, it is right up there. Congrats, and thanks!
These videos make my wife and I smile the whole way through Not only do they mske you feel you're there - they show you what you're in for when doing the hikes Fav channel
@@GreatAmericanHikes honestly, favourite channel out of nowhere Can't wait for all the future episodes And love the gear reviews - not just pushing product like most - these are super well thought out and you can tell you endorse because they work
@@jonhill3629 Glad you enjoy the content. I try not to talk too much about gear even though I am quite the gear head. Lots of channels focus on gear, I want to focus on the experiences and journeys the gear takes you on. Perhaps one of these days I'll get the crew together to talk about our gear in an impromptu kinda way for a video but that's not really a focus on the channel.
This is the first time I've watched a hiking video on my own volition. For some reason I thought it was going to be around 30 minutes. Once I saw it was 52 minutes, I figured I'd watch it in segments. Except that I didn't, because the video was captivating as the 52 minutes flew right by. While hiking and camping aren't hobbies of mine, it was nice to escape to an outdoor setting and be a fly on the [rucksack] of your journey. The music was very fitting and relaxing, the narration was great, but aside from everything else, I think what did it for me was the picture in beautiful 4K. For one of the shots, the image was so clear, I thought Dan was going to walk out of frame and right out of my screen into the apartment. I don't know if I'll ever have the guts to have this kind of adventure myself, so it's nice to be able to get a glimpse of your perspective: The little challenges that come with just trying to have a meal or set up to go to bed and the (slugs) struggles along the way; The sights from the tops of the mountains to the little rivers with interesting facts that go with them; The foreboding fears and concerns that I'd never understand if I didn't witness it here; And the view of the early mornings and rewarding stars in the dark night skies. You really take the time to stop and smell the roses in between what must be grueling physical and mental efforts. Since this is the first video of yours that I've seen, I can't make any proper comparisons. However, one thing that I think would be really cool to do for future videos (and hopefully wouldn't be too difficult): I appreciated the map you showed us towards the beginning of the video, highlighting your trail path. If there was a way you could occasionally bring that map back up and show your progress for about 5-10 seconds so that the viewer can recognize how far you've come and what your plan for the day is, I think that would be really cool. No additional animation really, more of just a "You are here" indicator. Not essential by any means, just a thought. Great job!
Wow man! Thanks for the long write up and comment. Appreciate the kind words. I considered showing the map later in the video, perhaps I'll do that in future ones. Thanks for the feedback.
One of the easier hikes to one of the 46 is Ridge Trail to Giant Mt. While it is only 2.7 miles one way it does have a rather substantial gain in elevation of over 3,000 feet, but since it's so short it's easy to pace one's self if needed. Rocky trails with some easy rock scrambling near the summit. Great view west to the heart of the High Peaks.
Fantastic work on this video. A buddy and I hiked a very similar route to yours in the Fall of 2020 and your film just perfectly captures the WHOLE experience. There are many people making movies of their hiking trips, but yours stand out. The flora and fauna, the vistas, the physical and mental battle juxtapostioned with the little details of your camp life and your gear...no-one else is really doing all of this. Further, your musical choices are thoughtful and right on point, capturing the interior emotional experience. Thank you.
Thank you for the very kind words. I’m glad folks “get it” with regards to the content I’m shooting for. That Adirondacks trip is something I’ll never forget. More films are coming. I assure you.
You guys are great!! You're so respectful of each other, nature, and appreciative of your surroundings...I love it! I have been to the Adirondacks hundreds of times and it never gets old🥰. I am from New York, and now am in Northern New Jersey, so I don't get there nearly as often as I'd like to. I've watched this video probably three times now. It is amazing how you've captured the beauty, making it feel like we are there with you. The music is perfect; gentle as nature and, all that it entails is, and should be treated 😌❤.
Wow!--30:06 Bushnell Falls! 35:25--What a view from the top of Haystack! 39:50--view from the top of Mt. Marcy. 40:30 and 41:45--Lake Tear-Of-The-Clouds, the source of the Hudson River. 48:00-50:00--Views from Mt. Colden. Great video!
Awesome video and report. I think I would have thrown trowel guy off of the mountain. 10+ hours of trowel a day? Subscribed and looking forward to more of this.
I'm glad I came across this video. This is well done!!!! I hiked the High Peaks years ago and after watching this video I want to go back!! It's very inspiring. Please continue making more!!
This brings back many fond memories of previous Adirondack hikes including Mt Marcy. great job in recording the feeling and special nature of the place and the event. you made it especially challenging for the extra destinations you added along the way. that goes beyond what I had done but wish I did. so glad you were able to experience the awesome challenge and satisfaction of seeing parts of the Adirondacks only a few will ever see.
I just discovered your channel in the "recommended videos" section of a Sintax77 video I was watching. I watched the first video and immediately subbed. Great stuff. One thing that jumps out to me is the music you pick. There's something equally majestic and foreboding about it. It adds tension to the video. I like it.
Really digging your style choices for this video. Too many videos out there are loud, obnoxious and just "too much". The music choices, post hike narration with a proper mic, cinematography and editing are all very well done. It's clear you've put a lot of thought and work into this. I've only watched this one video so far but I'd say your work rivals Kraig Adams, and is some of the best I've seen on RUclips. Definitely subbing and look forward to further videos from you. Thanks!
Perfectly paced and structured hiking adventure. Nothing left out and never boring. Even cooking enhanced the experience. It felt like I was there. The background music was very right on and the editing was - well the best. Thank you!
Great, great video. View from Haystack (3rd highest) is rated best view in the high peaks. You should do Algonquin, 2nd highest, easy day hike, incredible view of Marcy, Range, Colden, lakes below and all points north. 2nd rated view. Both are spectacular. In 1967 I took about 6 boys, started at Garden parking lot, and did Gothics, Saddleback, Basin and Haystack in one day. Came down Phelps trail. 20 miles. Weather was clear as a bell. 70 degrees late August. One of the best days of my life.
SO GOOD!!! love all the footage especially all the shrooms and bugs!! The narration is excellent and I love the music too. I love this new format. Can’t wait for the next one!!
What a fantastic job you've done capturing the essence and beauty of the Northeast mountains! Beautiful scenery and amazing artistry! Thank you for sharing this journey... it was a pleasure to go along with you!
Great Video, I'm originally from Adirondack area(river raft guide). Videos like these prompt me to make the return trips back up as much as poss. Love those Cloud splitters!
Well crafted edit from great footage. Love the emphasis on aesthetic vignettes, subtle tonal musical moods and nature sounds. Struggles are presented with a sense of perspective and restraint. I like the experential, sensory approach (as opposed to a trailguide or pure diary w endless selfie chatter) and the shifts in scale as well as between grandeur and the mundane. I get a sense of how to cope, enjoy and finesse the rigors, hand in hand with why one would undertake said rigors. Great, thoughtful style, keep it up. BTW re: no tent on shelter trips v. getting caught out between shelters? Leave the tent, carry a tarp.
Love the new format. Love the narration. Great video I really enjoy the stunning views. Good job guys. I'm looking forward for more videos like that. Love it, love it, love it.💚
Amazing footage! Awesome high tech gear compared to my adventures to these peaks back in 1970-71-72. Wish I could redo it now but at 65 it's not going to happen. Thanks for this!
Looking forward to my 2022, High-Peaks escapade. Stopping & hiking Black Bear & Blue Mountain, first(A warm-up). Mountain biking all-the-way, then it's on foot ascending the peaks. Last time I was up Mount Marcy & Haystack my father carried me a majority of the ascents. Older, bigger(255 pounds), and hopefully prepared. Just a three-week venture, away from society.
Great Job! I haven’t been able to do the big Adirondack hikes for a long time, but you made it all fresh in mind again. The mix of slow, arty shots, hiking scenes, and long views was very well done. You really brought this old 46er along with you! Hiking in the fall is really good. No bugs! Well, the slug…. Winter hiking is the very best, though, IMO, so I’ll look forward to THAT video.
Last May I did Marcy and Gray on a day hike. Lake Tear of the Clouds looked a lot less nasty when I filled (and filtered) my water from there, lol. Wonderful video.
Wonderful Video ! Had great experiences (OK some not so great - Soaking weekends) doing my 46. Started in 1985; finished in 2010 (after driving up from NC). Never got certified. That's how I chose my RUclips moniker, Anorthosite: It's the actual igneous rock type (not granite) that forms most of the Upper/Lower ranges. It's also what forms most of the Lunar crust. When you stand on top of Marcy, know that the rock under your feet formed 18 MILES beneath the surface, as the underpinnings of a Himalayan-scale range that formed more than a billion years ago. Remnants of the same, and related rock types, also outcrop more extensively to the north, in the Laurentian Mountains of eastern Canada. In surface outcrop, the Adirondacks connect to them via the Thousand Islands region. Since I was last there, there were numerous "fresh" rock slides in the High Peaks, from the hurricane that hit the region and New England several years ago.
@@GreatAmericanHikes I finished (2010) SOLO, day-hiking UP the Cables to Armstrong, and then on to Upper Wolfjaw. Next Day, I (RE)did Haystack (which I/we had previously done in Cold/Rain/Wind/Near-zero visibility - still not sure WHY ! XD). 2010 Haystack summit: Clear Fall Weather - but the Foliage was mostly Gone. Roll of the Dice. THEN, Just as I returned to my base-lean-to (Near JBL), the Skies Opened Up, overnight and into next day (slept well, tho wondering where I might find my Garcia Bear Canister, next morn). Packed out in heavy rain...then drove to Noonmark Diner, to Feast/Celebrate. Perfect !
Just echoing what others are saying: great video! Really enjoyed the way you captured the experience, from the great vistas to the little ones. (Mushrooms, caterpillars, coffee, etc.) I would add that not every moment of the outdoor experience needs a soundtrack. I would've appreciated more natural sounds.
This is like the third time watching your series and I enjoy it more every time . Your videos are so good. I wish I could go on a hike with you guys. That would be so grand . Dwayne
Nice job with the hike and filming! While resting a broken foot, it provided me entertainment and motivation to get out there and finish up the 46. I am half way done and live in Keene and have no excuse to finish them off. That was a big hike but you pulled it off! Was that during late spring? There was a lot of water and chilly temperatures present.
Is the traverse from wolf jaw lean to to the felts bar lean to doable in a day while solo? I am planing a trip to do a similar version of that hike in October. Thanks!
Info for non-ADK'ers: There's 46 peaks over 4k' - climb all 46 and you're a 46er - but there's some rather unique categories of 46er: Fastest (aided & the more impressive unaided), age, youngest to oldest - and the most challenging 46er, Winter 46er and barefoot 46er.
From an avid ADK hiker there were a few mistakes with your plan. 1. If you are doing this track do skylight it is only an extra mile. 2. come down the other side of Colden and hit Avelanche Pass on your way out. it is 100% worth it. See yall next time
There's a better way to do this sort of thing: use the lean-tos as a base camp, but DAY HIKE up the peaks. It's better for the trails and you won't have to carry the weight.

Guys I spent my youth running around the Whites in NH. So awsome the Adirondacks are no joke , spectacular ❤🇺🇲🇮🇱✝️
No easy task doing all that with full backpacks. Great video, awesome....
The Great Range is the toughest hiking I've ever experienced in my life and we didn't even do all of it. That might change later this year ;)

Well crafted edit from great footage. Love the emphasis on aesthetic vignettes, subtle tonal musical moods and nature sounds. Struggles are presented with a sense of perspective and restraint. I like the experential, sensory approach (as opposed to a trailguide or pure diary w endless selfie chatter) and the shifts in scale as well as between grandeur and the mundane. I get a sense of how to cope, enjoy and finesse the rigors, hand in hand with why one would undertake said rigors. Great, thoughtful style, keep it up. BTW re: no tent on shelter trips v. getting caught out between shelters? Leave the tent, carry a tarp.

It’s doable but it’s a lot. You’re gonna be hiking from dawn to dusk.
@@GreatAmericanHikes thanks!!
But would the other way around be faster?
Also please make an ASMR version of this video thank you
Nice work. Whats the name of that last song?
The song is called Orange Town and it was written by a friend. Sadly it seems the link to bandcamp album no longer works.
Do you have a site or a page with the route you hiked? I'd love to follow a similar path!
Sadly I do not. Good luck on your trip though!
How did you get Gaia gps to have the nat geo Adirondack maps??
When I made the video it was the stock map on Gaia gps. Not sure if it's nat geo specifically, though.
What is the waterfall called and what trail did you take to get there? Pushneck Falls??
Bushnell Falls! You can get to it by taking the Phelps trail.
Nice addition of some Minecraft music by C418
Thanks! I thought it fit really well.
Love it! what did you use for the map animation? Driving me crazy that I cant find anything like that.
Thanks! I make it myself using the mask tool in Premiere Pro. Takes a while to do but I think it's worth it for the film.
Love the video. What camera did you shoot this on?
Thanks! I shoot everything on a Sony zv1 and time lapse on a GoPro.
This was really good! That was a great shot from Haystack when you zoomed into Marcy. What pack are you sporting here?
Dan used the Osprey Exos and I used the Zpacks Arc Haul for this trip.
How long did it take to climb Mt. Marcy ?
Info for non-ADK'ers: There's 46 peaks over 4k' - climb all 46 and you're a 46er - but there's some rather unique categories of 46er: Fastest (aided & the more impressive unaided), age, youngest to oldest - and the most challenging 46er, Winter 46er and barefoot 46er.
Don't think you can sneak that minecraft music past me!
It’s a focal point :)
From an avid ADK hiker there were a few mistakes with your plan. 1. If you are doing this track do skylight it is only an extra mile. 2. come down the other side of Colden and hit Avelanche Pass on your way out. it is 100% worth it. See yall next time
There's a better way to do this sort of thing: use the lean-tos as a base camp, but DAY HIKE up the peaks. It's better for the trails and you won't have to carry the weight.
What month was this filmed? Amazing job btw 👏
The hikes was done in early September of 2020!
How do you go back to where you came?you cal uber?
We hike in a loop back to our car.
