Is this the most beautiful place in California?! This is a 3 night / 4 day backpacking trip in what I consider to be among the most beautiful places in the Eastern Sierra and even California for that matter. I’m joined by 3 of my friends as we start this adventure just a couple of days after the first snow of the season. It is absolutely stunning scenery from start to finish! Come along!

Absolutley beatifull scenery, thanks for sharing!
Catherine is the Anselly Adams of our day! (And she's better looking than old Ansel).
Kudos to you guys, it gets cold enough for me during the summer in the Sierra's never mind fall. 👍
Catherine, pop tarts are not food, lol.
Beautiful vidiography you are so talented. Thank you.
Great video. Beautiful.
Well..
I love that you say Exactly Where you at and where you plan on going!
The date and weather conditions are a Plus. Hopeing a good start to Your
Great Adventure and Many vids of ARIZONA!
yep, & lone pine. east side is best imo. Driving dwn the 101 from carmel to la in super clear spring night is great too. I wanta move to lone pine.
stop eating sugar, switch to monk fruit sugar or stevia pure clear extract. The new Zevia cherry colas are incredible, enlightened ice cream.
everyone watch california insider yt channel.
I'm hiking the places I wish I could go through your videos. Thank you
What do you think it's the best time to backpacking to Thousands island ? I'm planning a trip around end of May or mid June ?
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing!
Love the blooper….you should do at end of every vid, shows the process and how much work goes into your great videos. Also another beautiful, hypnotic vid, thank you.
Oh gorgeous! I’ve only been to the Valley once and Eastern Sierra once rock climbing. Fell in love with this place. All of the mountain ranges of California are so staggeringly stunningly majestic!
Stunning views! Thank you for shooting this vlog and taking us along. If I ever get to hike in the US this place will be top of the to do list. I got hooked on the Sierras after seeing David Gray's vlog of the same hike. Simon (England)
Does anyone have knowledge of hiking this area in May? Would it be snowed in or passable?
That was my very first solo hike in the Sierra. I had been with others, my first Solo was this loop. September 1969. Thanks for sharing. No videos in those days.
Hello, do you own a Dog? Are dogs prohibited where you hike …. Just wondering 🐾🇺🇸
awesome vd, my friends and I are planning a trip just like this. Do you need a permit for this? How to get them? someone please help.
I want to travel back to NorCal so bad! This trail in specific. 🙂
Wow! And there are no Yosemite crowds????
Breathtaking!! 😊
Thanks for sharing your trip! Looks amazing! Would you mind sharing your process for receiving the correct permits for backpacking in this area? Please and thank you!
Had to watch this one again on a cold and windy day in May from the Northern Sierra.
We went in June last year, the place made me feel things to say the least.
Who made this beautiful world? The best architect of the universe… Our divine Creator…. Thanks for the video.
Did you have to get permits and if so, where did you get them and how difficult were they to get?
I've watched this vidio at least 3 times . It makes me feel so relaxed!!!!!I've been watching joey s videos I'm just not as relaxed with his . Don't get me wrong his are great also just scarier at times & no relaxing music! Everybody's different . Thank God !!!! Again take care & God Bless !!!
I can't thank you enough for sharing this trip into the Sierra's! Just incredible!
Hi which permits did you acquire? Was it the shadow creek permit or the river trail permit? Thanks , place looks amazing
CHEESEBURGER!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
