- This is a roughly 23 mile day hike on the Paintbrush Canyon - Cascade Canyon Loop in Grand Teton National Park. My wife Georgia and I did this hike in September of 2020.
AllTrails Recording: www.alltrails....
This hike began at the String Lake Trailhead, where we hiked along String and Leigh Lakes until heading up Paintbrush Canyon. After reaching the beautiful Holly Lake, we climbed up and over the insanely steep and windy Paintbrush Divide. Paintbrush Divide is the highest point you can reach in Grand Teton National Park on a maintained trail. From there, we descended to the aptly named Lake Solitude. We then hiked down and out Cascade Canyon to Jenny Lake. We walked along until Jenny Lake until reaching the String Lake trailhead at sunset.
Very nice.
Nice job documenting the hike! I'm planning to do part of the Teton Crest trail and exit via Paintbrush Canyon or Cascade Canyon. Was one of them far prettier than the other?
Thanks! I would probably exit Paintbrush. Lake Solitude is worth the visit and the views going up and over Paintbrush are second to none. It would also be a lot less crowded than Cascade depending on when you’re going.
@@LukeHester Thanks for the advice!
So pretty up there! How many hours did it take y’all to finish? Did you take lots of breaks? I’ve been wanting to do this trail but afraid I won’t make it back before dark. We did lake solitude Labor weekend 2020 and that was a long hike in itself and I was super exhausted!
You can view the link to our AllTrails recording in the description. It took us about 12 hours, we had a pace of a little over 2 miles per hour. That included a fair amount of breaks and stopping for pictures/recording more than we usually do. I would determine what your pace was when you hiked Lake Solitude and go from there, it is definitely a super long hike. We want to go back and do it as a 1 night backpacking trip. That would allow you to take your time and enjoy the beauty even more. But if you think you can keep the pace to do it in a day, it’s definitely a bucket list hike!
Awww dude thanks so much for this amazing video! How long was the hike up there?
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
It was about 12 hours, that was with a pretty long stop for lunch and a lot of stopping for pictures and videos. You can see the AllTrails recording info at the end of the video or in the description.
Great video! I LOVE that you did not add music. I love hearing your footsteps & the wind. Nice, clear footage. I would recommend not panning so quickly in future videos.
Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback! I have definitely become a big fan of hiking videos without music as well and plan to keep it that way in the future. I agree about the panning too. I was frustrated with myself while editing with how often I panned too quickly. I’ll definitely keep it in mind for next time! Appreciate it.
I agree . It is very difficult to add music to a nature video.
95 % it faults.
What camera did you use? And where did you mount it. I'm getting into videos for my hikes but that last time on shoulder was horrible. Thanks for any advice.
This video was filmed on an iPhone 11 using a handheld 3 axis gimbal. When not recording I would either hold it, or just stick it in the cup holder of my pack where I could easily reach it. For pictures I used a Nikon D5300. I’ve thought about getting a dedicated video camera, but I’ve found the quality you get from newer iPhones combined with the weight and convenience is just hard to beat. I now live in Montana, and I plan to get an iPhone 14 soon and continuing using the gimbal for future hiking videos.
Great video, heading to Grand Tetons in 3 days, planning to do this hike as 3 days/2nights backpacking as I'm going with my 8 year old daughter. What camera did you used to film?
Thank you! I think it’s a great idea to break this up as a backpacking trip. You’ll definitely be able to go slower and fully take in and enjoy the scenery more that way. And this was all filmed in 4K on an iPhone 11. Hope you have a great trip with your daughter!
