Without saying, you’ve again brought to life what words cannot describe, the majesty of the Eastern Sierras! Anyone who has seen this Range, know, no grander a place exist in the lower 48. And your unique talents, only magnify it so... thanks Catherine!
Wow what a Magical Place !!! Breathtaking landscape combined with your incredible artistic eye : An absolute feast!!! And I agree going to the mountains is like coming home !!! The tourism board of the US should give you an award for showcasing ur country's Phenomenal Natural Beauty !!! Thank you !!!👏👏👏🌿🌲🏔🌳🌿🏞
I've been to South Lake many times, but never hiked to Long Lake. Thanks for taking me there in such a beautiful video, Catherine! I didn't want it to end. The Eastern Sierra's are my second home. I'm so glad I live nearby and can visit often. We share the awe and wonder of this Godly country. It's where I go to church.
No Sunday is complete until we get to see Catherine's latest journey. As always a visual treasure. My first backpack in the Sierra was at age twelve, I am now sixty-two, I still keep going back. In fact, I have two upcoming treks planned; one at Rock Creek just north of where this video was shot, and the second way down south below Lone Pine in the Kennedy Meadows area. It seems you, like most backpackers, are partial to the Sierra high country. And I must admit it has unparalleled spectacular beauty and majesty. But for me, my favorite mountain environment is that unassuming tranquil forest that is found between 7,000-9,000 feet. Give me the simple forest, meadows, and streams and I am at home.
Been 25 years since I've been to the Sierra's and It will be the first place I go when I get back to Cali. For now I'll have to live vicariously through your videos. Thanks!
The Eastern Sierra is my second home. Has been most of my life. And like you, I can't explain the feeling you get when you are in it. But when you are there, it's almost as if God is reaching out to touch you. As if you are being welcomed. Beckonned. Invited...
WOW!, another beautiful escape into Gods back yard. it's funny, when i ask people, what they think of first when i say California, they say,L.A., San Francisco. before i started coming along on your excursions i used to think the same thing. now i think about being in the mountains. a couple of scenes, if it wasn't for the trees and sky, one would think you were filming in black and white, then the next scene is filled with the beautiful lake the colors of the mountains. i'll never think of the big cities in California again. just escaping to the serenity of calm and beauty in the mountains. i could go on for hours, thank you for the best way to start my day.
The Eastern Sierras are just absolutely stunning with its craggy rock-strewn path with the cathedral-like mountains for a backdrop and jeweled lakes below. It is truly a spectacular place to be. What a joy it must be to hike there and "go home", as Muir said so many moons ago. Jenny :o)
Been a LOT of places in this world over my 7 decade trail, & pound for pound, NO OTHER PLACE beats either side of the Sierra Nevada. Thank You, gal, for PROVING it here...
...another masterpiece Rembrandt - beautiful - the mountains can love you and kill you, they are the rulers - we love their beauty and curse their pain they bring down on us.
Wow! Thanks for taking me home to the Sierra Nevada. I worked and lived in Yosemite NP for a couple of years in the mid '80's, Truckee for 2 years in late '80's, and lived in Oakhurst/Bass Lake for a couple of years in the mid '90's and How'd I miss Bishop Pass!? I always made it to Schat's Bakery though, while in Bishop. I explored extensively in the Whitney Portal, Ancel Adams wilderness, Yosemite, the Sierra National Forest, Mammoth Mountain, and Lakes, White Mountains, Lundy, Saddlebag, Virginia Lakes, June Lakes area, and Lake Tahoe area, and the Desolation wilderness. There's a lifetime of trails, and so many wonderful and scenic gems, all throughout the Sierra's, so thanks for taking me to one I missed.
The absolutely share in your joy of the eastern Sierra’s . You made the sometimes arduous task of working a trek through altitude into a refreshing shower of soothing , clean mountain air…..And I never felt any of the wind; just the joy of the journey!
How serene, vast sceneries you Catherine present here! Feeling is somehow transcendental with the flowers of Dodecatheon... as you mentioned, it is difficult to explain, you must to be here... you are walking near the heavenly height, exploring a boundary above which is the dead Lunar - or Martian - landscape and below the extremely delicate and barren and beautiful frontier of life 🌼🌎🪐
The beauty of the high Sierras is mesmerizing. Catherine, your skills are unsurpassed and the music, the beauty of your video content almost, almost, put me there. You're right that to truly enjoy such beauty one has to be physically present in the moment and let everything soak into your soul. I know that feeling and I cannot wait to experience it again. I'll be on my journey soon, giving up bricks and mortar to travel and live in my van. You made my Father's Day very enjoyable...thank you!
Another beautiful morning with spectacular Catherine. Another spectacular morning with beautiful Catherine. Either way it's great to wake up with you on a Sunday morning
At six minutes I took a deep breath and relaxed. Thank you again for bringing these beautiful sites into our homes. Many times I pause the video and just look at the amazing views. Thank you.
Hello 👋 Catherine, a big thank you for the tag along. This was a beautiful trip. The Eastern Sierras isike a home away from home. ALWAYS the very best of good things for you. Stay safe and healthy out there. See you on the next one. 🤗
OMG Cat! Ansel Adams-esque backdrops, excellent music, and, allowing all of us to watch you get rejuvenated. Thank you for allowing us the privilege to "tag-along". Stunning. Thank you for improving dozens (if not hundreds) of peoples blood pressure/cardio vascular systems. So serene and relaxing. Thank you for selecting this journey! Enjoy and stay safe!
As I mentioned in a comment after your eastern swing, you look so much happier and content in the west, especially the eastern Sierras. Great video, as always. As I always say, Don’t forget the feeling!
Good Sunday morning to you Catherine! You made it back to my favorite place on the planet! I have always loved the Eastern Sierras! Although I can no longer hike (health reasons) in this majestic place, I have no regrets, as I have been hiking the Sierras since the 70's. I am completely in your debt for taking me along. Spectacular scenery and great camera work! Love you as always, and be safe. 💖🙏
Really beautiful Catherine great job. You're so blessed to be living where you are and able to be spending so much quality time in the back country. Thanks for sharing it!
I almost cried when you said you were going to the High Sierras. This is, in my opinion the most beautiful place on earth. I can almost smell the air. It's my dream to go back there one day. Thanks for taking us along.
Catherine you make me so jealous once again. If it wasn't for a hand injury that occurred to me this spring; I'd be looking forward to adventures of my own this summer. You are truly blessed.
I go to Eastern Sierra, every fall, to photograph the fall colors. I have missed it for 2 years and it is killing me. I love the area: from Lake Sabrina, all the way to the north of Twin Lakes (near Bridgeport). Thank you for reminding me how beautiful the area is.
Beautiful scenery and production quality. The number of single shots, buttery smooth pans shows a great deal of work went into this. Thank you for bringing it to us.
Big pats on the backs to those that build and maintain that trail, as a lot of back breaking work went into it. Gorgeous video as always. It’s always a treat to go on adventures with you.
Good morning Cat! The scenery, the music & your lovely demeanor brought goose bumps to me. So special too that you had a nice companion to share this backpack trip with...
I am from Northern California. I am now living in the Colorado Rockies. I have lived in the Cascades of Central Oregon and for 8 months in the Sandias of New Mexico. But, the Sierra Nevada is my most beautiful home. I miss them. Catherine, as always, your beautiful videos are so peaceful and relaxing. I have not experienced the Bishop area. I will definitely visit when I return some day.
Beautiful trail, great camera work as always. Wish I could have been there with you in person to feel the magic of that place! Have a great week Catherine!
Another excellent video Cat. Such a beautiful place, beautifully captured. This week's 'wow count' is almost as high as the Sierras themselves. See you next week 😻
Most Superb Ladies. So very wonderful to vicariously see all that again. Mirroring my numerous backpack trips there n in surrounding areas. What a JOY! TY. What w the grandeur of the surrounding mountains, the many crystal clear lakes n brooks, the wildlife n the feeling of one w Nature, a feeling unsurpassable. I have framed pictures of my outings there. TY so very much for arousing that feeling, within, again. Most appreciated. Stay safe. Stay blessed. 👍😁🙏🏻👏🏻😁
Sunday breakfast is so much better with your serene videos, I’m glad you enjoyed your hike in the Sierra Nevada’s with a friend. John Muir was right, going to the mountain, is going home.
When I see beautiful lakes like that. First I want to fish them, then I want to throw on a bathing suit and dive in.....lol. of course I know it would be freezing.....but just for a few minutes. The water just looks so inviting.
Hello once again Catherine😊😊😊, I just watched the previous video of your hike to the eastern Sierra. The campsite and the beautiful mountains and streams are just so SPECTACULAR. Bishop Pass was absolutely SPECTACULAR and it was to bad that you couldn't finish the hike to heavy winds. Maybe you take that hike again with better weather conditions. I just returned from a wonderful road trip to South Florida and the Keys and several National Parks along the way: Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, Congaree National Park(SC), and New River Gorge National Park & Preserve. Hopefully Catherine, you take another road trip to the eastern part of country. Catherine😊😊, this was a great video...i sure wish I was with you on that hike...Wow. 👍👍👍👍👍
I can't explain it other than it's like going to our second home. The intro was nice leading into fantastic scenery. We've also been watching the temps to see if we might get a break before the really hot weather continues. We like to camp the Sierra in the fall and winter months. Thanks for taking us along!
The Sierra is such a special place. I agree completely that they just hold a special magic like no other place. And you have to be there and feel that to understand it’s beauty. Im so happy that you were able to experience its magnificence again. Here’s to a great season this year. Hope to see you out there soon. Thank you for sharing.
"It is the journey, after all, not the destination." So true!
Without saying, you’ve again brought to life what words cannot describe, the majesty of the Eastern Sierras! Anyone who has seen this Range, know, no grander a place exist in the lower 48. And your unique talents, only magnify it so... thanks Catherine!
Thank you so much Rand!

Darn it, I was logged into my other youtube account when I commented. lol oops.
You always make me smile, took me back 50yrs.
pinkze he say " both yourself and Jarl have a knack of capturing the magic of every place you adventure, utterly beautiful "
Stunning scenery with pristine water
This is so gorgeous and serene!...My only wish is that this video were longer!!
I 100% agree!!!!
It looks like clearing that trail was a monumental task and a labor of love! How lucky we are to have these trails into beauty.
Your joy and Serenity is palpable..beautiful video

I agree!
He is really.we need to get alone with him.find that special place in him and never leave.
I have been so very blessed to have shared the 4 corners with my soul and Colorado is my Church A sacred place for me and will be always.
Great cinematography as always. Thanks so much for sharing.

Yay the Sierra!!
Beautiful area. Solitude for sure.

Thanks for taking me there. So beautiful. Nothing compares back East!
I hope to get back out West very soon.
The absolutely share in your joy of the eastern Sierra’s . You made the sometimes arduous task of working a trek through altitude into a refreshing shower of soothing , clean mountain air…..And I never felt any of the wind; just the joy of the journey!
Beautiful! Yes, it’s the adventure, the journey that makes it worth while. There is so much beauty off 395. I could stay there for months.
How serene, vast sceneries you Catherine present here! Feeling is somehow transcendental with the flowers of Dodecatheon... as you mentioned, it is difficult to explain, you must to be here... you are walking near the heavenly height, exploring a boundary above which is the dead Lunar - or Martian - landscape and below the extremely delicate and barren and beautiful frontier of life 🌼🌎🪐
Bringing back the memories of my hiking days.
There is so much beauty I cannot take it all in......lol. You did a great job showing it all.
Thank you Mike!

Wow what a beautiful area 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍
I did that hike a few years ago before my knees and age caught up with me. Thank you for taking me back to that magical place.
OMG Cat! Ansel Adams-esque backdrops, excellent music, and, allowing all of us to watch you get rejuvenated. Thank you for allowing us the privilege to "tag-along". Stunning.

Good morning Cat! The scenery, the music & your lovely demeanor brought goose bumps to me. So special too that you had a nice companion to share this backpack trip with...
I remember the first time I hiked above 10 thousand feet-I was like, where is the air? LOL. Wonderful as always Catherine, thanks so much!
Nice video. Beautiful landscapes.
Those destinations mark the waypoints on the journey as if they are a constellation of stars.
I am from Northern California. I am now living in the Colorado Rockies. I have lived in the Cascades of Central Oregon and for 8 months in the Sandias of New Mexico. But, the Sierra Nevada is my most beautiful home. I miss them. Catherine, as always, your beautiful videos are so peaceful and relaxing. I have not experienced the Bishop area.

I love the dry air in the Eastern Sierra.
Theres a special tranquility about your videos , so needed today... thank you Catherine
Beautiful trail, great camera work as always. Wish I could have been there with you in person to feel the magic of that place! Have a great week Catherine!
Thank you Joyce! ❤️
Another excellent video Cat. Such a beautiful place, beautifully captured. This week's 'wow count' is almost as high as the Sierras themselves. See you next week 😻
Thank you 🙏!
Beautiful! Loved Backpacking in the Sierras. This brought back wonderful memories. I can’t do it anymore but you capture a sense of the joy.
Nice job as always!
Incredible scenery, narrations and professional videography ! Thank you Catherine for taking us on a wonderful journey in the Eastern Sierra !!!
The 4K quality is awesome with the beautiful scenery you captured...everything pops...well done!
Thank you so much! 💓👍😏🇨🇦

Sitting down to 2nd breakfast Sunday with Catherine...Sierra looks breathtaking. Thanks, I needed this.
Sunday breakfast is so much better with your serene videos, I’m glad you enjoyed your hike in the Sierra Nevada’s with a friend. John Muir was right, going to the mountain, is going home.
The landscape is very glamorous...
As usual breathtaking scenery and absolutely wonderful cinematic photography!
When I see beautiful lakes like that. First I want to fish them, then I want to throw on a bathing suit and dive in.....lol. of course I know it would be freezing.....but just for a few minutes. The water just looks so inviting.
The Count would say: "Not 1 but 2 pretty ladies!....Ha!...ha..ha! 😁👍👍
Beautiful hike ☀️
Beautiful cinematography as usual. Happy to see you back in such inspiring places.
Beautiful and good for the soul

It’s very hot right now Todd. Not too bad in Mammoth, but Lone Pine and Bishop feel like a blast furnace. Hope all is well.
Stunning as usual. Thanks for the trip.

Beautiful scenery and beautiful music. Made my day! So glad you made it to the Sierras this season!
You are amazing. Thank u for another amazing journey. So peaceful and serine. What a way to wake up.
Ooooh Cat, I just love your videos. Sierra views are beyond description!
Absolutely beautiful country and you did a spectacular capturing that in the video. Here comes the 🌤! Look forward to your next adventure... 👍✔😉
breathtaking an unspoilt land full of colour
