I didn’t realize you were with Thomas on this trip. I watch both your channels, and was re watching his video before this one and I recognized the shot of the bear😂
Beautiful video! Beautiful sunrise photo!! I was going to hike Sahale Arm in this past August as a day hike... however, the road to the trailhead was closed due to the landslide... instead, I hiked Hidden Lake. I'd like to hike the trail sometime in future.
It’s great to see and hear from someone who knows what he is talking about. I first backpacked Cascade Pass and Sahali Arm in 1974 with my wife of one year. I noticed the Gitzo carbon fiber tripod with a Really Right Stuff ball head plus the L-bracket. I use several of their bull heads and many of their brackets. Good stuff.
Thanks for the comment Randy. It's actually a RRS Tripod and Ballhead :) I love the Cascade Pass / Sahale Arm area - it is so beautiful. Thanks again for the nice comment.
Superb work. Thanks also for the information on your equipment. At this point, I'm really just a day hiker, but years ago (1970s/1980s) whenever I was backpacking in bear country I never ate where I slept. I used to cook/eat dinner at least 2 miles before my final destination. Bears have good noses and bad eyes (they are near-sighted). Because they like to know who/what is in their home they let their noses guide them to the smell until they can "see" what is causing the smell. I think you guys were safe because of the elevation and the lack of surrounding vegetation (food sources) made the area less than desirable for bears. I did see black bears on the trail during the day, but I never had any visit my camp. Again, great work!
That was great! Very enjoyable vlog. TH provided the long version. Quick question, your equipment list shows the RRS TQC-14 & BH-30; I didn't see a center column - what tripod & head did you use for stills?
I actually converted my TQC-14 and removed the center column; i found I needed to get down low more than use the center column. For stills, its the RRS TVC-24 with the BH-40. I also added an additional bubble level at the base of the ballhead.
@@TimKirkPhotos Thank you Tim. I'm torn between the TVC-24L and the TFC-14, for stills. I have the TVC 33, it's great, but not for carrying very far. Seeing your 24 in action helps.
great video and amazing sunrise pictures. My brother in law and I were there one month prior and didn't have such good luck with the weather. We ascended that talus field near the ridge in near white out conditions (in July!) and had literally 30 seconds of break in the clouds the entire time we were at the campsite. It snowed for about 16 hours straight and we had 6" accumulation. Like you said, camping at altitude is way different! As your pictures show though, those 30 seconds of break in the clouds were glorious! And the next night, at Hidden Lake more than made up for it. Can't wait to watch some of your other videos.

Good video! We brought our backpacking tent (Durston x-mid 2) we used all our tie outs, got a good pitch and had no issues.

Top video Tim, enjoyed watching this. Thanks very much for sharing.
Adrian Alford Photography thanks for watching. It was / is an amazing place.

John Callery thanks again. I have had a number of experiences in Mount Rainier. With careful food and cooking management - never had a issue.
Wonderful video and really enjoyed the sunrise image. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for watching.
Awesome! I was planning on doing this hike in the next month.
Same! End of September permit permitting. Hoping to snag a walk-up as the window for reservation closed months ago
Tim, this was a wonderful video! I’m heading up there this Friday for two nights to take some shots using the same lens.
The fall conditions should be spectacular. Weather on the other hand.... Low freezing levels this weekend. Enjoy.
Man I did this hike earlier this summer and didn't make it all the way to the top, seriously regretting it now haha
Yeah. It was great. The route up from Cascade Pass is a burner, but it is fairly straightforward. Epic views from the camp. Thanks for watching.
