    Hope you enjoy this adventure! For those wondering what happened to Joey's RUclips channel, he has removed it as he is working on his own website that will house his content in the future. Until then, you can find him here where he updates content regularly: www.patreon.com/user?u=29913168

    Lol, Catherine is like... "we hiked barefeet uphill in the snow both ways" Joey is like ohh it was an easy day, barely broke sweat and everything. Catherine is like but we got eaten up by mosquitoes as Joey walks by in shorts and a t-shirt. The man is as adventurous as a hobbit mixed with mike myer's wayne's world character.
    And OMG did you see this most epic scenery at 20:04 it was as if someone painted landscape on the actual rock wall... and then you realize it is real real. what a beautiful place to go hiking.

      @@danielkaranja7978 Commercial filming of any kind on NPS parks requires an individual Commercial Filming Permit for that park. Very expensive and difficult to get. If you're receiving any financial or material reward at all from your production, NPS considers it commercial. And, NPS monitors RUclips and receives tips for violations. Several RUclipsrs have gotten hit with serious fines for this.

    I spend five months from early January to the end of May 1980 winter mountaineering Yosemite when i was 24. Backpacked, snowshoed, crosscountry skiing, climbing, even living in igloos, all over the Sierra Nevada mountains surrounding the park. One of the best adventures of my wilderness lifestyle life.

    Oh lordy, you just did what my hubby and I fondly refer to as "The Hell Hike"... Only we came from the opposite direction, from Tuolumne Meadows to White Wolf, in three days, hiking up that 4500-foot climb on the last day, literally begging a ranger we saw in a truck to drive us that last mile. That he didn't dump me after that is a miracle.

I sometimes wonder what runs through someone's mind as they hike for miles and miles on a trip like this with nothing but the wind in their ears. Do they think about the meaning of life? I imagine some pretty deep thoughts as one hikes through this gorgeous landscape.

    Your viewers may be interested in knowing that 80° at high altitude is much hotter than at lower altitude because less atmosphere leaves more incoming ultra violet light.

I always forget to say this so I'm saying it while still watching. In addition to the stunning views you take us to, I want to compliment you on the safe way you hike - with your sticks and taking your time. I see far too many people trying to show their prowess on trails that come out hurt. So in addition to the beauty you are teaching safe practices for managing the different trails you hike. As always, Cat, thank you for taking us along. Safe travels and adventures.
