You are my favorite blogger with hiking/backpacking videos. Not too much talking, lots of great insight and focused on the beauty. This video inspired me to book this trip(if the forests open before it snows). Thank you for your great videos. Just stunning.
My husband, dog, and I did the hike to Duck Lake a couple days ago. Up and back took just under 6 hours including lunch and swim time for the dog. We did a loop starting towards Emerald Lake then returned past Arrowhead. It was beautiful, but a pretty tough hike for me. Mostly the altitude. Beautiful video.
Very beautiful. At 4.50 reminds me of Cradle Mountain in Tasmania. Nice to see you've given your missus or girlfriend a starring role as she is always walking in front in most clips. Thanks Sheety. Enjoy all your films. From here in Aussie
Cool video......if you ever go back, stay at pica lake.....you'll have the whole campground to yourself and it's nice fishing.....you can see it in your video, it's the little lake in the corner of duck lake
Beautiful video! I'm planning a trip from Canada to California in mid-May. Would this trail be accessible that early in the season or would it still be snowbound?
Thanks! My advice is to enjoy your time on the trail - hike your own hike! Not too familiar with NoCal trails, but did hike Lassen Peak a few years back and loved it.
+Chau Tran Just under 16 miles round trip. Amazingly this was just an overnight backpacking trip into the Mammoth Lakes back country! We were going to spend 2 nights but the cheap mats we bought were useless. Amazing place to go backpacking and will be back this summer!
+Geareddown club It took approx 6 hours to get to Purple Lake from the trailhead in Mammoth, although we stopped numerous times to take photo's and enjoy the scenery. If you hiked non-stop to Purple Lake you could make it in 2-3 hours. Yes, a permit is needed to camp over-night. No permit needed if just making a day hike into the wilderness.
funny !! was going to comment about music !! love the sounds of peace ,, hate hate HATE LOS ANGELES !! RAT RACE DISGUSTING !!!! heading too mammoth this Monday ,have a job interview .I'm getting this job single dad moving my kids away from the evil city done !! gorgeous video brother love it !! I didn't know this trail existed, guess that would be my fault stay in convict fish fish fish ,, I'm hitting Duke trail after I land my job ,,thank you for taking me away good job
Great video. Wearing shorts is big no no in my book. Not sure why people do it. Protect your legs at all cost from bugs, sunburn, dirt, and cuts. You're pretty screwed out there if you don't. OMG...is the woman wearing tennis shoes?
Outstanding Video. First did this hike in 1969. Changed my life forever! Keep up the great filming!
How did it change your life forever? Just curious.
Wow, finally a nice video without a bunch of shit music in the background, thank you!! Very beautiful
Thanks for the awesome comment!!
True!
lol
@@rayflower1915 - more sheety techno dance music......lol

Thanks love this. Going to Duck lake this year so very helpful!
Have fun! Was just there Saturday.

Thank you so much for sharing, and I agree, it's wonderful to just hear the wind, water and birds... beautifully done, I want to go!!!
Wow! What a gorgeous journey. Such an incredible video.

+waltavoc Glad you enjoyed the video waltavoc! Mrs. Sheety tends to get in the way when filming :P More to come!!
Nice video, why no shots of Cascade Valley on your way down to purple or back to duck isn't that view just as amazing.
I love that trip. I've done it twice and it's just amazing. It's about 9.5 per my GPS to Purple Lake.
Thanks for posting, great shots and nice organic audio.
Another great video Sheety33!! Great job!!! Beautiful lakes and country :)
We are hiking this a week from today! I subscribed because your videos are good reference guides on what we can expect on future hikes. Nicely done!

Cool video......if you ever go back, stay at pica lake.....you'll have the whole campground to yourself and it's nice fishing.....you can see it in your video, it's the little lake in the corner of duck lake
+JStompinado Thanks for the advice! Looking forward to going back this coming Spring/Summer. Can't wait!!
amazing scenery
Beautiful video! I'm planning a trip from Canada to California in mid-May. Would this trail be accessible that early in the season or would it still be snowbound?
Solo Jo still snowbound for sure. You could possibly cross country 🎿 or snow shoe into the area.
Is this campsite legal? looks just off the outlet of Purple? If so thx!! Not much good camping around purple
@Charles Meyer You might want to think about camping farther than 2 feet from the trail. Should be 200 feet from water (lake and stream).
the water is so clear
hiked to duke pass today..just went few miles back,some.snow
How many days did it take you to hike to all these places? :)
This was an overnight trip!
SO NICE VIDEO GRASIAS POR COMPARTIR
Beautiful video. I have a technicality question about the overnight pass needed for this? thanks!
Yesenia Martinez sure, what’s your question?
Wow love this video!! I’m planning my first backpacking. Any advice? I love Northern California, any trails you also recommend?
Thanks! My advice is to enjoy your time on the trail - hike your own hike! Not too familiar with NoCal trails, but did hike Lassen Peak a few years back and loved it.
Wow. Amazing

Can you bring a kayak?
how long did hike take? do you have to get permit?

July
Sweet! Looks great. Awesome video - makes us excited for our upcoming trip!
Omg , very beautiful place, i m not sure i will see this place in my life , because i from pakistan and i have no visa and money
is it okay to swim there?
Yes, you can swim anywhere!
+Sheety33 thanks :D
oh my
Ok
how was the mosquito that year?
Nonexistent....I believe this was due to the time of the year.
That place looks so polluted......gross.
Great video.
Wearing shorts is big no no in my book.
Not sure why people do it. Protect your legs at all cost from bugs, sunburn, dirt, and cuts. You're pretty screwed out there if you don't.
OMG...is the woman wearing tennis shoes?
Best fishing ever
