    Another interesting and well filmed hike. I'm sure we all realize, but not all appreciate, that every time you leave your camera to do the walk away shots, you're going back to collect it, so you're covering the same ground 3 times just to show us the views, Many thanks for that.

    OK, Here you are yet another guy inspiring me to get myself back in shape so I can get back out on the trail again too. I have missed hiking for a couple of years now. This video is an inspiration because of the sites and sounds one will find out hiking backpacking and camping in the wilderness. Thanks

    When I was a very young boy in the Casper Wy area I lived next to the railroad tracks. I would watch the trains go by and look at the emblems on the cars. My favorite? Rocky mtn goat...Great Northern! I like the BNSF railroad and the fact that the GN is a part of them makes me glad. Sort of nostalgic, but good memories.

    That's a pretty neat trail. Love the railroad history. I've always wondered what happened to all that abandoned line.

  • This hike you are on is one i have wanted to do and hope this summer i can pull it off .. Great film of your hike , i love history like this .. Where did you started in on your hike ? Very well done .. There were several books written about this disaster and i have one written by a local writer .. Someone had told me that going in from Stevens Pass was the way he went in and it was a great hike as i have not looked at a map i do not know where the little town of Wellington was located ..
