The Holy Cross Wilderness in Colorado is one of the most epic places to hike or backpack in the United States. It is located around the Mount of the Holy Cross, one of Colorado's 14ers, & less than an hour west of Denver, CO. It has a reputation as the Bermuda Triangle of Colorado for all the stories of people that vanish in the wilderness. The wilderness is characterized by rugged ridgelines and glacier-carved valleys, spruce-fir forests, cascading streams, and dozens of lakes; elevations range from 8,500 feet to 14,005 feet. The wilderness is named after Mount of the Holy Cross, which became famous in 1873 when William Henry Jackson first photographed the cross of snow on the northeast face of the mountain. Over 150 miles of trail traverse the area, providing excellent opportunities for day hiking and backpacking trips. In this Episode, we woke up at camp at Hunky Dory Lake to below freezing temperatures and howling winds. We had storms all night but it all came in the form of rain. We packed up and headed out to visit the old abandoned mining town of Holy Cross City and explore the artifacts. From there we headed over towards Fancy lake and then started the monster climb to Fancy Pass. We made it over the scree field and down the other side and connected with the Cross Creek Trail. We hiked down the valley to epic views everywhere. It was a spectacular day.

In this Episode, we woke up at Lake Constantine and enjoyed our breakfast before breaking camp and heading up the climb to Fall Creek Pass. The climb was daunting but the views at the pass were well worth it. The Seven Sisters Lakes below provided us with amazing vistas. After a break for snacks and water, we headed down into the valley below in search of Honky Dory lake and our eventual campsite.

In this Episode, we parked at the lower lot near the Cross Creek Trailhead and hike/hitch up to the upper lot near the Fall Creek Trailhead (6.75 miles). From there we set out along the Fall Creek trail towards the beautiful mountain scenery at Lake Constantine for our first campsite. We knew we were in store for epic vistas and spectacular jagged peaks, but we had no idea that we would be so lucky to have a large game encounter on our first night...

This is a trip for beginners to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. For two of my kids, this is their first time ever visiting the Boundary Waters. I wanted to give them a beautiful introduction to just what the BWCA has to offer. BWCA 2021 On this trip, I take my 3 kids to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in June of 2021. It is the first experience there for my youngest 2 kids and a return trip for me and my oldest. We set out from Entry point #38 on Sawbill Lake for a 3-day, 2-night canoe adventure through the Boundary Waters. This is definitely a challenge with a 16-year old, a 13-year old, and a 10-year old, but we work together and show that it is possible to have a great time as a family with kids in the beautiful wilderness of the Boundary Waters. On this trip, we spend time on Sawbill Lake, Alton Lake, and Beth Lake. We camp, canoe, swim, fish, and just enjoy some time together...

This episode covers my summit of Mt. Elbert in Colorado from the North Trailhead. Mt. Elbert is the highest peak in the Rockies, reaching 14,433 ft above sea level. This was my first attempt at a 14er. Mount Elbert is the highest summit of the Rocky Mountains, the highest point in the U.S. state of Colorado, and the second-highest summit in the contiguous United States. This video shows us parking near the Half Moon west Campground since the road expansion work up to the trailhead wasn't yet completed. We hiked the extra mile up to the Mt Elbert northern approach trailhead to begin our Mid-September day hike of the tallest 14er in Colorado and the Rockies and the second-highest point in the lower 48 states. Although it is one of the highest, it is also one of the best for beginners as it tends to be more gradual and most sections are not very technical. It is one of the easiest 14ers in Colorado.

Brent, Jonnie, and I set out in July of 2021 to backpack the entire 70 mile thru-hike of Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (LHHT) from Seward to Ohiopyle. In Part 5 of our thru-hike of the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail, we travel from the Ohiopyle Shelters to the end of the trail. This section has some challenging climbs before finally descending down to follow the river back to town. We had the opportunity to see some beautiful views and have some time to hike by ourselves before meeting up at Mile Marker 0. We ended up covering just over 5 miles on the day. Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail Trail map - http://elibrary.dcnr.pa.gov/GetDocument?docId=1743399&DocName=LARI_ParkMap.pdf The 70-mile hiking trail stretches along Laurel Mountain from the picturesque Youghiogheny River at Ohiopyle State Park to the Conemaugh Gorge near Johnstown. Seasoned backpackers challenge themselves on the steep, rugged areas of the trails. Casual hikers enjoy areas that are reasonably level and pleasant for walking. The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is the main feature of Laurel Ridge State Park. It traverses state parks, state forests, state game lands, other public lands, and private lands. The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is a major segment of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, a network of trails between the mouth of the Potomac River and the Allegheny Highlands. 👇 GEAR FOR THIS TRIP 👇 Backpack - Zpacks Arc Blast - https://zpacks.com/products/arc-blast-backpack Hammock - Dutchware Chameleon - https://dutchwaregear.com/product/chameleon-hammock/#chameleon-body Tarp - Hammock Gear Dyneema Standard w doors - https://bit.ly/3gv7WWw Top Quilt - UGQ Bandit Quilt 50 - https://ugqoutdoor.com/top-quilts/bandit/?ref=4734 Under Quilt - Hammock Gear Incubator Econ - https://bit.ly/36Dbx0b Hilltop Packs Bear Bag (Printed) - http://partners.hilltoppacks.com/183395/10882/url_17682 Stove - BRS 3000T - https://amzn.to/31OQcAg Cup - Toaks Titanium 650 mL - http://bit.ly/2U2vXvs Water Filter - Katadyn Befree 1L - https://bit.ly/2ZrsKam Water bottle - Hydrapak UltraFlask 600mL - https://bit.ly/2Fr9XVO Satellite Communicator - Garmin inReach Mini - http://bit.ly/2UOSsnZ Headlamp - Nitecore NU25 - https://amzn.to/3m7h8TR Rain Shell - Arc'teryx Zeta LT - https://amzn.to/3k2E7xu Jacket - Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer 2 Hoody - https://amzn.to/35K376Y Base Layer top - Smartwool 150 - http://bit.ly/2OAxJmb Base Layer Bottom - Smartwool 150 - https://bit.ly/2AhbVFm Chair - Helinox Chair Zero - http://bit.ly/2GGVEtL Trekking Poles - Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork - http://bit.ly/31bq8vP Pants - Prana Stretch Zion - https://bit.ly/3rHx8Og Hoody Shirt - Patagonia Capilene Cool - https://bit.ly/2PX8gBf Pullover - Appalachian Gear Co All-Paca Fleece - https://appalachiangearcompany.com/collections/hoodies/products/mens-all-paca-fleece-hoodie?variant=29355746328660 Socks - Darn Tough - http://bit.ly/35S7CdO Socks - Wrightsock - https://www.wrightsock.com/collections/hiking-trekking-socks/products/eco-hike?variant=31863789682777&&sca_ref=658465.9bAbUquE0e --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 💥 My Gear Lists 💥 Hammock - https://www.lighterpack.com/r/6soqwz Ground - https://www.lighterpack.com/r/9ozxjl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 💻 Connect With Me 💻 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/andyparrishoutdoors/ Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1633575003471676 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This video description does include affiliate links.

Brent, Jonnie, and I set out in July of 2021 to backpack the entire 70 mile thru-hike of Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (LHHT) from Seward to Ohiopyle. In Part 4 of our thruhike of the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail, we travel from the Grindle Ridge Shelters, just before mile marker 25, all the way down to the Ohiopyle shelters around mile marker 6. We see some more amazing rock formations and 2 beautiful mountain vistas before starting the steep decline down to the campground for the night. We ended up covering just short of 19 miles on the day.

Seasoned backpackers challenge themselves on the steep, rugged areas of the trails. Casual hikers enjoy areas that are reasonably level and pleasant for walking. The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is the main feature of Laurel Ridge State Park. It traverses state parks, state forests, state game lands, other public lands, and private lands. The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is a major segment of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, a network of trails between the mouth of the Potomac River and the Allegheny Highlands. 👇 GEAR FOR THIS TRIP 👇 Backpack - Zpacks Arc Blast - https://zpacks.com/products/arc-blast-backpack Hammock - Dutchware Chameleon - https://dutchwaregear.com/product/chameleon-hammock/#chameleon-body Tarp - Hammock Gear Dyneema Standard w doors - https://bit.ly/3gv7WWw Top Quilt - UGQ Bandit Quilt 50 - https://ugqoutdoor.com/top-quilts/bandit/?ref=4734 Under Quilt - Hammock Gear Incubator Econ - https://bit.ly/36Dbx0b Hilltop Packs Bear Bag (Printed) - http://partners.hilltoppacks.com/183395/10882/url_17682 Stove - BRS 3000T - https://amzn.to/31OQcAg Cup - Toaks Titanium 650 mL - http://bit.ly/2U2vXvs Water Filter - Katadyn Befree 1L - https://bit.ly/2ZrsKam Water bottle - Hydrapak UltraFlask 600mL - https://bit.ly/2Fr9XVO Satellite Communicator - Garmin inReach Mini - http://bit.ly/2UOSsnZ Headlamp - Nitecore NU25 - https://amzn.to/3m7h8TR Rain Shell - Arc'teryx Zeta LT - https://amzn.to/3k2E7xu Jacket - Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer 2 Hoody - https://amzn.to/35K376Y Base Layer top - Smartwool 150 - http://bit.ly/2OAxJmb Base Layer Bottom - Smartwool 150 - https://bit.ly/2AhbVFm Chair - Helinox Chair Zero - http://bit.ly/2GGVEtL Trekking Poles - Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork - http://bit.ly/31bq8vP Pants - Prana Stretch Zion - https://bit.ly/3rHx8Og Hoody Shirt - Patagonia Capilene Cool - https://bit.ly/2PX8gBf Pullover - Appalachian Gear Co All-Paca Fleece - https://appalachiangearcompany.com/collections/hoodies/products/mens-all-paca-fleece-hoodie?variant=29355746328660 Socks - Darn Tough - http://bit.ly/35S7CdO Socks - Wrightsock - https://www.wrightsock.com/collections/hiking-trekking-socks/products/eco-hike?variant=31863789682777&&sca_ref=658465.9bAbUquE0e --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 💥 My Gear Lists 💥 Hammock - https://www.lighterpack.com/r/6soqwz Ground - https://www.lighterpack.com/r/9ozxjl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 💻 Connect With Me 💻 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/andyparrishoutdoors/ Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1633575003471676 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This video description does include affiliate links.
