    Thank you so much for watching, most of my videos are time sensitive , that means I try to go places when there is a better chance of having the best views and experience. For example if you watch video of a seasonal waterfall and you decide to visit but when you get there it’s completely dry that’s a bummer. Same thing if I show wildflowers blooming, you visit and they are long gone! Or a place with snow, you go and it’s all melted!
    Right after I go hiking I post my videos as soon as possible.
    That’s why it’s very important that you subscribe and a active the notification bell so you won’t miss a thing!!

    I don’t think I’ve ever commented on anyone’s video but I felt obligated to let u know that u did a GREAT job on this video. Mostly when watching videos ur asking ur own questions in ur head. Kinda like side notes (“Wonder what turn off looks like”, “how far do we go”, “wonder how deep water is?” etc.). I was amazed that every question I thought u answered within seconds and with great detail. U just planned my family’s and I next outdoor adventure. Thank you! 👍

      Some people have no respect and feel that when they leave their trash behind that someone else is cleaning after them and this makes them feel validated. Please remember that it's our Earth and love it and teach your children to respect this beautiful gift from God. YOU went there to enjoy it, right? Be grateful, keep it clean, pick up your trash. Thank you.

    Man, I’ve been coming up here for over 20 years & YES there are bears. And sometime deer. But there’s so many people showing up at these spots now, you hardly see any wildlife anymore. I’m glad to see there’s still fish in the water tho.
