We took that awful, steep trail once, then we learned that there is an easier route to the upper lakes. Continue on the main trail and just over the crest where you first have a good view of Watson Lakes, there’s a much better boot path on the right. Alltrails shows the route you took, not the preferred route. Surprised Gaia also shows the harder route.
We think we saw that trail on the wY down. It looked pretty steep too, but maybe not as treacherous. Glad we made it though. Those are some beautiful lakes! Thanks for watching. ✌️
What a beautiful place. We’d love to see more fishing. We love to go fishing. Hopefully, Liz, you get to experience fishing in all the great fishing states!! So, Charlie, tell us how it feels to hike out of a Bob Ross painting 😅
Once again you’ve taken me to a beautiful place I am unlikely to ever visit otherwise. Thank you. My grandfather loved to f. He bought all of us rods and reels. He taught us to cast in the back yard, and we always took them the beach with us for saltwater fishing. I think if he had lived longer, we all would have become fishermen, but we never ended up taking the pastime into adulthood. I still have that rod and reel these 60+ years later. I don’t know if I’ll ever use it again, but it’s a nice reminder of a time long in the past.
Wow! The hike looked fun and the views at the lakes were amazing! At least you got to get some casts in. Sweet memories for sure. I was considering getting a hiking pole myself. I was interes6ed to hear your report. Another sweet video guys!! RockOn!!!
Trekking poles for the win! Just sucks to have one more thing to carry. Doing the hiking you do is worth it though. It helps a ton on the inclines and declines.
Would love to see you get a fly rod Liz. you would love it. IT just part of the outdoor adventure. Good job with the hiking pole, it will really help. loved all the views you shared, great job as usual. be safe on the downhill slide
Oh what?? So awesome. We gotta get caught up on our "youtubes" to see what you guys have been up to. We just left WA and it's always a busy time with fam.
You too have such a fun time exploring nature. I like having my thirs leg, pole walking stick. It helps take pressure off, helps with speed pushing yourself a long, and for balance walking a cross downed trees and stuff. Making videos is such an art form and strong passion, I always enjoy the way you team up so well to produce a work of art in every video. What a cool walkway up there! What a beautiful experience and place to explore. Moss covered trees is the best. Wow. What a beautiful view up there, of the lakes and other miles. Exploring new grounds is the best! Thanks for the journey! Perfect music once you got up to the lake, just epic epic place, wow. The clear water is beautiful! I always love your perspectives!
Those shaggy trees are so awesome. Finally coming around on the hiking poles. Took me a while. lol. Your hiking stick is even cooler. Thanks for watching. We're doing the beet harvest now so it's going to be a busy next few weeks. Take care.
Nice hike most of the trail looked pretty easy ,a lil steep at times , i thought yall found a huge crowley but it was just a mushroom 4:22 🤣, i want to see more catching with Elizabeth 🎣, yall need to do a catch , clean , cook trip , dont bring any food , that will make you a better fisherwoman or really hungry 😂 thanks for taking us along
That is such a beautiful place, the landscape just kinda melts into the water and almost impossible to see where the water even begins. I would love to visit here someday ❤ You would probably love the Gitche Gummee trail in Minnesota. It follows the Northshore of Lake Superior. Incredibly beautiful. I know nothing about fishing. Or fishing gear. If you come to MN, be sure to check with the DNR for rules and regulations. Adventure on!
Totally love the hat and think you should definitely get a logo on it. I certainly plan to put one on mine when I get my stuff up and running. Looks good on WORH jays too. Always go with the logo❤ Also, I would like to get a couple of your business cards. I’m planning to put up a board on my table with everyone’s channel on it and pan over them when I do my videos. Let me know if you would like yours to be on the board.
Thats one heck of a hike , I loved it ... and that camping area is nice but the most important thing , next time you are here the Fishing License is on me , I don't want to hear no arguments Merry Christmas or Happy Birthday or what ever Holiday or event we are close to 😝.. the tap was a good idea I have used heat shrink before its super light pretty cheap and just a lighter will make it shrink. Also good call on the roasted garlic and herb tuna , I my self am a fan of the sweet thai chili .. Great video and beautiful scenery , Stay safe out there my friends Miss you both
Heat shrink! That's super smart. Gonna have to get some for my kit. Better than being counted out for fishing. Can't wait to see what the fishing is like over that way. I probably would argue with you though. 😆 Thank you! We miss you too. We will get back there.
That was an epic view; how beautiful and pristine! You could tell by the look on the pikas face, they aren't used to seeing a lot of people around there! That seemed like a rough climb in spots but doable, at least it used to be for me! I was a hiker, and I could easily walk an hike for just miles and it wouldn't bother me back then. But that was a gorgeous hike. Thanks for the adventure and I love to watch fishing these days I can't fish anymore being one handed but I still love to watch fishing. My advice, do what you love. Life is way too short not to!
That is great advice. Money comes and goes, but memories stay. I'll spring for more fishing as we travel. It will feed us too, so it might pay for itself.
I love the idea of the adventure hats being made. Wow what a challenge. But the views are incredible ❤❤❤. I think I need a hiking pole so when my knee misbehaves I can get through. I felt like singing the sound of music songs when you finally came around the corner and showed the stunning view of the lake and mountains. Golly gee whiz I am so thankful for you guys sharing your amazing adventures. ❤❤❤
Great hike with the pole :) The spot yous chose is so stunningly beautiful. Do yous swim in the Lake if the temps are right for it ? Looks like a nice place to take a swim. Great fix on the pole tip ! Enjoyed the adventure😊
All these lakes we go to are pretty high up and fresh snow melt. Makes it extra chilly. We've Been tempted to swim anyway. Nothing like swimming in those clear waters in the North Cascades on a 90 degree day.
Thanks for the vid! I've done the Watsons & lwr Anderson. I'm preparing for upper Anderson this spring. I also flyfish. As a suggestion, try using a smaller lure and a slower retrieve. Letting it sink to the bottom can also be helpful. Great views & awesome video! Thanks!
Thank you for the tips. I hope you have better luck. It's still worth it for the beauty and quiet up there. It surprisingly doesn't see a lot of traffic.
That was so much fun! I would love an Adventure Closet style hat, to be honest. You guys totally rock that look, and I dig it. The Mt Baker area was another treat to see you guys hike and camp and fish! I wish I had some tips and pointers when it comes to fishing. I know the catfish on the Illinois River like it when you cut the golden roaches(a type of minnow) in half and step on em. Caught a lot of them that way. Lol, other than that, I got nuthn. I loved the views at 33:10 through 33:20 I think it was best. But really all of it was amazing. Sorry I'm watching late but I'm up in the Keewenaw again. Goin to the Porkies tomorrow. Hope you guys have great weekend 😊
That trail is amaaazing, wish we had the rockys in England. Nearest place to me is the peak district which is a cool landscape in its own way but completely different to this. You guyys it would be a great drone spot!! The views😍 I personally like to take powdered mash potatoe (has to be the seasoned stuff.) Oats and dried berries. Dried fruit and nut. Biscuits. Bread and some bacon. 😮 can't miss the bacon
A landscape photographers heaven. I bet you guys got some amazing pictures. Charlie are you posting your pictures from this trip for sale? The reflections on the lakes plus the other amazing views are stunning. I probably would have over 1,000 shots to go though if I had been there. Hoping to see your still images ❤❤❤
I'm in-between websites right now, trying to change things up. I'll try and remember to put those shots up when I do. Thank you. The reflections were great up there with the cliff faces.
I don't, but we have had a few of our volcanoes do that over the years. It is a little unnerving but they do monitor them pretty well. Glacier Peak on the other hand has the least monitoring. That one worries me sometimes, but it us pretty remote.
no swim and my child hood was on a big lake and fishing i loved and it provided me food.."most fish if you throw in fist full of small rocks and watch fish come to see whats going down lol and that's when you can fish...I just looked on internet for native american hooks and not right...a stick about inch long sharpen both ends make a place in middle for line ,put a worm on it ,it gets lodged in fishes throat..its fast easy to make...the food you eat is going to get you
Love the rocks but are they lava, slate or other? As for fishing recommendations, can’t comment but wonder if any states offered a daily or weekly license? That would be ideal, but I suspect the states are greedy and make you purchase for the year. 😒
This is sperpentinized greenstone which began as lava but was subjected to low grade metamorphosis. This section of the North Cascades is full of metamorphic rocks. They're really interesting, but not prized as much as others. In other states I will probably try and buy daily passes or sometimes they offer 3 or 7 days.

Such a wonderful place to camp…..the views in the morning when you wake up were amazing…..
Felt other worldly up there. Just wish the fishing was better.
The walking tours give me a chance to really see things. Thank you for taking us along
Yes! We agree. Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you!
Hiking poles do help, especially when you have a decent sixed backpack. What a cool mountain lake and great scenery!
They do help a bunch. Just annoying when you're trying to film too. Thanks for watching. Have a great day!
What a beautiful place. We’d love to see more fishing. We love to go fishing. Hopefully, Liz, you get to experience fishing in all the great fishing states!! So, Charlie, tell us how it feels to hike out of a Bob Ross painting 😅
All the places! Like Ohio for starters. Charlie said it felt magical and literally breathtaking. Good thing he had his inhaler.

I don’t know if I’ll ever use it again, but it’s a nice reminder of a time long in the past.
That's cool you still have the setup. You never know, you might catch a lunker if you give it a try!
Wow! The hike looked fun and the views at the lakes were amazing! At least you got to get some casts in. Sweet memories for sure. I was considering getting a hiking pole myself. I was interes6ed to hear your report. Another sweet video guys!! RockOn!!!

I do have a fly pole but it's more for salmon and steelhead and doesn't break down small for travel. I'll get one soon I hope
What an awesome reflection. Beautiful views.
We just returned from that area - we absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the PNW - Mt Baker was a beautiful area!
Oh what?? So awesome. We gotta get caught up on our "youtubes" to see what you guys have been up to. We just left WA and it's always a busy time with fam.

At the rate I'm going I'd be really hungry. That leads to hangry. LOL! Would be a fun challenge though.
Oh and we want adventure hats!!!
We'll have to figure this out.
That is such a beautiful place, the landscape just kinda melts into the water and almost impossible to see where the water even begins. I would love to visit here someday ❤

Adventure on!
We do want to do that trail! It looks so awesome and pretty easy going too. One day we'll take the show there.
Totally love the hat and think you should definitely get a logo on it. I certainly plan to put one on mine when I get my stuff up and running. Looks good on WORH jays too. Always go with the logo❤

You should definitely try out the hiking poles. They will save your knees. Glad you liked this adventure as much as we did. It was incredible scenery.

So excited you're back up there. Have lots and lots of fun. Bet the fall colors are coming in nicely.
Very beautiful nature
Thank you. We love it here.

We would love to get to England. As rockhounds too we would like to find some of those England Fluorite crystals. You live in a beautiful country.

Beautiful views! Do you remember in the mid 70s when Mt Bakee started burping lots of gas? If so, did it alarm you?
I don't, but we have had a few of our volcanoes do that over the years. It is a little unnerving but they do monitor them pretty well. Glacier Peak on the other hand has the least monitoring. That one worries me sometimes, but it us pretty remote.
Tasty Bites. Winco carries them.
That's a good idea. We've had their Indian dishes.

Non resident licenses only cost 11.50
What state is that? Is it an annual or like a day pass? That's a great deal either way.
