  • Spent 3 nights in Emigrant Wilderness. Did a 27.5 mile loop, and it unfortunately rained for the 3 out of 4 days, but was still beautiful. Will be back to see the wilderness in its sunshine-y glory eventually. All music in the video is my own.

    Really enjoyed this. I love the Emigrant Wilderness. Using the Deuce of Spades as a spoon is epic.

    Great video, thanks for sharing your beautiful scenery!
    Crazy you've never seen a bear!
    I camp all of the time, and I've been face to face with two bears, but I am just now getting ready to backpack for the first time. Your video is inspiring, thanks!
    Also, great music 👏👏

      @@lexirae_art i have backpacked emigrant several times, never seen a bear either. i spoke to the ladies at kennedy meadows pack station and they said bears at emigrant are rarer and therefore shy-ier and i hve also stayed at baker and deadman campgrounds and the vibe and rules seem very relaxed as compared to yosemite or tahoe

    I have been to just about every lake back in that wilderness. Normally go for a week to two weeks at a time. Been back there probably over 20 different times last 30 years. Awesome area.

    I've hiked many places but Emigrant is my home stomping ground. It's wonderful when it's sunny, but it is mysterious and magical in the rain and fog as well. As you were walking through there I was recalling some of the trips that I've been on back in that area. One of the spots you camped at was only about 150 yards from one of my favorite spots. Hope you can make it back when the sun is actually shining there. Oh, and all the bears are a few miles south at Yosemite: better scrounging down there.

    • @lexirae_art

      I definitely will be back for the sunny weather!! Next time I’ll be on the lookout for your favorite spot.. good to know about the bears. I’d like to see one in the wild. But I’m sure there is some great scrounging in Yosemite with everyone leaving their food around!

    damn u really braved that weather like a G. i was at a high elevation lake at desolation wilderness last week , similiar weather to yours. not a soul around , rained and hailed all night, the hailstones sounded so loud and aggressive i thought it wud tear up my tent and soak me in! it was terrifying . also at twilight hour , it was hauntingly beautiful with the low hanging fog and spooky wind howls.

      When you hiked all the way out there and have the gear, you might as well deal with it right?! Try and find the positive in it. Plus yes, the eeriness is enjoyable to me. Makes it more memorable!

    Years ago, I would backpack in the Emigrant Wilderness (To HuckleBerry Lake from Cherry lake and take side trips to lower and upper Twin Lakes) with my Dad. Nice area but I think Kings Canyon NP, Sequoia NP. John Muir Wilderness and Ansel Adams Wilderness has more impressive scenario although some some parts can be more crowded.
