Hey everyone! If you like this video...check out my most recent trip up in Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies. It's one of the most magnificent places on earth and we have it all to ourselves! Here is the link. Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/hpU8F2BVlcU/видео.htmlsi=48ZfiJWUv8vzH_dy
Quite an experience! Thank you! I am 77 yrs old and have had a lung transplant. I live vicariously through the travels of fine people like you. God Bless!
It's wonderful to be able to go anywhere in the world isn't it? But nothing better than being healthy enough to go to these places..I can't make a lot of these places either..I depend on this computer so much..
Someone said they can't watch a long video🤪..... Man, I sure can....I love them....i absolutely love going with you and Joey through the beauty and adventure....the longer the video the better. Thanks for all the hard work producing them.
So much for warmer climes, eh? This one is spectacular and in a class by itself. May Almighty God Continue to Bless, Guard, Guide, and Protect you in your adventures.
What a treat to have this long video from you! Thanks so much, Caterine. Stunning videography per usual. We don't think anyone does this better than you. It was nice to see your friends, Joey and Kyle, as well. ❤
Stunning video Catherine. Beautiful scenery and fabulous music. You are a trooper with all the cold water crossings and challenging trails. My 70 year old feet would never make it. Thanks for sharing this unbelievable trip.
So calming to watch nature's wonders with Kathy's lovely music. Kathy Looks amazing and vibrant. Thank you for the vlog, I never thought New Mexico had such a beautiful place
Hi Joey ! Glad to see you once again w/Cat. Cat, many compliments on your artistic ability to photograph/ edit/ add the right music. Takes a special talent that is much appreciated and surely enjoyable for your viewers. As a side note for anyone who does not realize those river crossings can be treacherous.
Hello Catherine, this is Gary. I love your successful show. I watch it every Sunday or when it comes out almost every time religiously bless your heart and bless your travels your friend Gary.
At 4:19 there is a small dwelling in the cliff. 50 years ago, several of my classmates from NMSU and I went backpacking to the Gila Wilderness. It was February and COLD. First night we slept in that dwelling trying to stay warm. It was in much better shape back then. My friends almost froze that night. I, however, had a goose down sleeping bag and was toasty warm. One of my best memories from college.
Another absolutely stunning trip. I enjoyed it so much. It’s some thing I can’t do and it was absolutely beautiful. The shots just took my breath away. Thank you for taking me along.
Cat, you out did yourself this time. I saw in you some personality traits that I haven't seen before. Good friends, good trails, fantastic scenery, really brought out the real Cat. this time. You are doing what you like and it shows!
I knew before that you are strong and brave. But seeing some of the steep hills you traversed, the water crossings, and the sheer length of this trip- with all the weather you faced- I am staggered! You. Are. So. Strong! Incredible beauty in these views. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤❤❤❤
35 years ago I was in there, it began to rain, 2 days it rained, The Ghila went from this little stream to a raging torrent more than 20 feet deep. Ron and I had moved up on a ledge and made camp... at 2 am the water was almost at our camp. We had to move higher. The bridge in Cliff was under water and the town was flooded. Always an adventure.
Holy Water Crossings batman 🤫 In Florida ..There are 'things' in the water. That campsite 🧐...wow Thanks for showing people how to make good decisions when out in the bush. 👍
You guys all deserve a big thank you for that amazing trip. I think you made me realize i maybe too old to take that hike. I had fun in your pack, thanks for taking me along with you. Love you guys. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob
Wonderful video, Katherine. Seeing you all examine the wolf prints in the snow was so moving. That scene pressed up against my reading of Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold. “‘We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes,’ he wrote later. ‘I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes - something known only to her and to the mountain’.” Thank goodness the Gila Wilderness is protected and that wolfs are being reintroduced. Thanks to you, Joey and Kyle for heralding this treasure to all people.
Joey is such a nice person and so watchful over you. A true friend. This was a beautiful trip to watch, but I must admit, I wouldn’t have liked all of those water crossings. Brrr. Thank you for the respite from daily life.
That was an epic adventure between the scenery and water crossings and weather. thanks for sharing with us; you do such a great job filming and editing!!!!
This area reminds me in parts of the Montañas Vacias Region in Spain where a 700 km bikepacker trail goes through beautiful empty landscapes. I thought there were only deserts in New Mexico. I See, I was wrong.
Catherine, you outdid yourself on this one. The mountains and trails were beautiful. The river crossings were a challenge for sure. Your videos are so beautifully done. Thank you for this epic video with you and Joey and Kyle. Just magnificent.😊❤😊❤😊❤
Your long form hiking videos are some of the best work you've done. Beautiful video and music. The campfire shots are a great way to end the hiking day. Keep up the great videos !
wow. Best you’ve done yet! I’m a 72 man who backpacked extensively in my college days . My memories are great but my pictures pale in comparison to what you produce. Terrific!
Even though I'm 70 and have had a lot of backpacking experience, I'm scared of winter camping! But I think with an MSR 4 season tent, a 0 degree sleeping bag and some good gloves, maybe I could do this. It was very beautiful out there. Not at all like the recent Sierra blizzard with their 140 mph winds and 7 foot snow drop!
Beautiful views from the plateau. The amount of water crossings were unreal. You had everything mother nature offered up. Rain, snow,wind, water crossings and the end was wolf tracks.
You're posting great backpacking videos! I was there last fall solo hiking, so viewing this is throwback time😄 Started from NW Willow Creek◭ over Turkeyfeather down West Fork and back up Middle Fork. I love Wilderness hiking. Clean soil, clear water, thick grass. No cattle, no fences, no trash.
That was an awesome video. A friend of mine and his brother hiked and camped that area 50+ years ago when we were in high school. It brought back a lot of memories. Thank you...
Wow, New Mexico looking so incredibly beautiful as usual. The Gila wilderness has been calling me lately. I am only 6 hours from here. Love that you are showing us the backcountry, just awe striking! Sending wishes of adventure, health and happy living. ♥
The Gila IS beautiful. Lots of snakes though. That doesn't bother me much. I've slept inside an old alligator juniper a couple times. Those trees are ancient and cool as hell.
I like the "tent talks"- your eyes are so beautiful in that lighting. Those river crossings looked difficult- glad no one slipped. I turned back from a backpacking trip in Kings Canyon because the stream crossings were so scary
Cougar country, yea no kidding. Look at the trees, water and terrain. Those kitties scare the snot out of me. Wolves and bears a little but Cougars are a special breed of scary. Great video with such amazing scenery.
Beautiful area, a little to new school type of traveling for me with fancy gadgets and style of food. I don't like to be in hurry either. Thanks for the vidio.
I just got back from a week in southern NM,2 days in Ruidoso, the remainder in the Gila.This was my third trip to the Gila and like my 20th to the Chihuahuan Desert. And I haven't seen a Javalina!
I'm so grateful for your channel. The treatment you give these scenes and activities is so relaxing and makes me hope and plan to hike again. I hope you'll be back soon.
Absolutely a stunning video. I lived in Taos NM for 4 years, The Land of Enchantment is truly Magical✨✨✨ This was really a treat to watch and enjoy your adventure. Thank you 🙏 everyone should visit NM at least once in their life.
Yes! Lots of channels are doing interesting research in the area of alternative history that has recently been presented to us. You would need a really open mind and heart to be able to receive this stuff without allowing the ego to shut off all possibilities because the ideas are way outside of our comfort zones and very much contradicts the current accepted narrative we all grew up with. It's all very fascinating if you can handle it! @@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism

Come back and do the Mt. Robson trail in Jasper. It’s stupendous!

I LIVED JUST A FEW MILES SOUTH OF THE GILA FOR MANY YEARS, SO FABULOUS. NEW MEXICO IS A VERY SACRED PLACE
Hard to believe anyone would put a negative comment on your videos. Your videos are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your journey! ❤️😁👍
I've told you once and I'll say it again; I love the music you choose for your videos!
Yup, agree!
Hi. Anyone know the string piece that starts at around 29:05?
@@RoselynNY most of this is done with the synthesizer. You can even do the vibrato of a violin on a synthesizer.
I think if that was a Wolf print, they may have been following you for days. In my mystical world, they were keeping you safe. ❤
Safe from what - bears?😁
@@judyclark8653 Good questions, I thought the same when I wrote the Post. Lolol💗
That print in my opinion was not large enough for a wolf .
Awesome hike and locale.
Thanx Cat
@@judyclark8653 Only the wolves know.😮😄
Humans... It's what's for dinner! (Say the wolves...)
Someone said they can't watch a long video🤪..... Man, I sure can....I love them....i absolutely love going with you and Joey through the beauty and adventure....the longer the video the better. Thanks for all the hard work producing them.
Yay! Thank you!
Catherine, you are one tough, strong and courageous woman and an inspiration to us.👭 You did this in the winter!
It was good to see Joey again I've missed his videos. New Mexico is one of my favorites places to go.
We live real close to The Gila, love exploring the wonderful area. Thanks for showing the rest of the world our special place.
Beautiful! New Mexico is the "Land of Enchantment"!
So much for warmer climes, eh? This one is spectacular and in a class by itself. May Almighty God Continue to Bless, Guard, Guide, and Protect you in your adventures.
Great video. Just give the haters the boot. My wife and I love watching your videos!!
Love New Mexico ❤

To all who have discovered this part of the world, and especially those who decided to stay, "You've chosen wisely."

We moved to New Mexico a year ago: your video is the only way we will experience this park.
Those water crossing were something else!! Good job crossing!! Beautiful place!!! ❤❤❤❤
What an adventure! I so appreciate not having your beautiful videos interrupted with ads. Thank you for your hard work. It is so worth it.
Excellent honest and real insight into long distance WIlderness hiking.
Wow! Thanks. I kayaked down the Gila, camping along the way. Fell in love and named my dog Gila!
I love "Squatch"/Joey. You guys make a great couple cat. Enjoyed the video.
What a beautiful world we live in! Enjoyed the hike, thanks for taking us along. Stay healthy stay happy🤠

Thanks for showing people how
to make good decisions when out
in the bush. 👍

What a beautiful video. Great music and Cinematography.
Thank you very much!
I understand the Gila river is the only unobstructed wild river in the US. Locals are active in keeping it that way. Pretty special.

For Years You have been an inspiration ! Thank you So Much !!!😁
What a beautiful hike! Great filming! Thank you so much for the vicarious experience!
Yep, Just relocated from Alaska to Silver City.....
Welcome to NM. From TorC
Welcome from Mimbres!
Wow! One of your best Catherine.
What an epic backpack trip! The river crossings were insane! I would have been miserable! 😊
Well Thought Out Music 👍
That was an epic adventure between the scenery and water crossings and weather. thanks for sharing with us; you do such a great job filming and editing!!!!
I wonder how many thousands of nights Joey has backpacked? That dude is a beast! I’m glad he’s doing videos with you Cat 😀
Fabulous! Thanks for a very enjoyable hour. Superior work as always Catherine!
Thanks is much Joyce!
I saw visions of Gila monsters riding on the backs of Mexican Wolves thru Peyote Cacti 😮
This area reminds me in parts of the Montañas Vacias Region in Spain where a 700 km bikepacker trail goes through beautiful empty landscapes. I thought there were only deserts in New Mexico. I See, I was wrong.
This music choice was right on point for a winter hike! Great editing Catherine!
33:30 Just an epic view. Thanks for taking us along. What a journey.
This was beautiful. Next time if you get a chance you need to visit the Valle’s Caldera in the Jemez Mountains near also Alamos. Absolutely gorgeous.
This video deserves an award!
Catherine crossing the river had me wondering, is she gonna fall lol, beautiful scenery again, you capture beauty so well, safe travels❤️👍🇨🇦
Catherine, you outdid yourself on this one. The mountains and trails were beautiful. The river crossings were a challenge for sure. Your videos are so beautifully done. Thank you for this epic video with you and Joey and Kyle. Just magnificent.😊❤😊❤😊❤
Kudos to Joey for doing most of the camera work. But what a bbrrrr hike. Thanks all for taking us there.
I have found great enjoyment and comfort watching your videos...beautiful pictures. Thank you.
Wow, what an adventure. My wife and I just started watching your channel and we really love it! What a nice group of people 🙂Thank you.
Your long form hiking videos are some of the best work you've done. Beautiful video and music. The campfire shots are a great way to end the hiking day. Keep up the great videos !
Very nice presentation- brought back memories of my adventures in the Gila Wilderness 50 years ago.
wow. Best you’ve done yet! I’m a 72 man who backpacked extensively in my college days . My memories are great but my pictures pale in comparison to what you produce. Terrific!
Thankful I could watch your uncrowned, gorgeous and chilly adventures while curled up warm in my bed! Am too old to do such trekking anymore!

A booze cruise on day 5! I officially love Joey. Great Camp Kyle! Cat, best adventure and vlog to date! Well done!
Epic... Just epic! I hope to find myself there someday.
The Gila IS beautiful. Lots of snakes though. That doesn't bother me much. I've slept inside an old alligator juniper a couple times. Those trees are ancient and cool as hell.
It is hard to words to that rugged beauty! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Love your videos. Beautiful places. I am living vicariously through you.
I like the "tent talks"- your eyes are so beautiful in that lighting. Those river crossings looked difficult- glad no one slipped. I turned back from a backpacking trip in Kings Canyon because the stream crossings were so scary
Great video. REALLY miss Joey’s channel and videos. I noticed his channel doesn’t seem to exist anymore? It was great to see him on this trip though.
Epic Hike Cat ❤ Perfect Sound Track ⛰ Smart Decision Making 🙏🏻 Definitely An Award 🥇 Winner .......
Love Tent Talk ! 😊
BEAUTIFUL 😃
Cougar country, yea no kidding. Look at the trees, water and terrain. Those kitties scare the snot out of me. Wolves and bears a little but Cougars are a special breed of scary. Great video with such amazing scenery.
You hit it out of the park with this video! I have new respect for your fortitude! Aldo Leopold lives on.

My sister and I crossed fast water by linking arms and lifting one of our 4 feet at a time.
What a grand epic trip! Thank you for sharing
I'm so grateful for your channel. The treatment you give these scenes and activities is so relaxing and makes me hope and plan to hike again. I hope you'll be back soon.
Wow! What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing!
Cool. 7am. Bam! new vid. Thanks Catherine.
This was lovely! I live vicariously through your expeditions. Thank you!
Wonderful video. That's a hike I would never attempt, let alone in winter. Thanks for taking us along. I'm glad you all made it safely back.
Absolutely a stunning video. I lived in Taos NM for 4 years, The Land of Enchantment is truly Magical✨✨✨ This was really a treat to watch and enjoy your adventure. Thank you 🙏 everyone should visit NM at least once in their life.
The Gila is magnificent!
Makes me want to return to New Mexico, thanks for uploading ❤🦋
Epic videography! You have way more courage and willingness to be cold than I do. Thanks for sharing.
I love how the natives used and occupied those old massive melted structures from a prior reset....just amazing!
From a "prior reset". Haven't heard a settler put it that way before.

Looked like a wonderful hike
