    You have the most joyful music 🎶 in your videos
  • @donhinton8013
    Thanks for explaining Pinch's garbage bag. Thanks for filming along knife's edge.
  • @909Studios
    Is it me or is Pinch the coolest guy in the world! The whole trash thing is so funny!
  • @rmac1042
    Hi, Arielle! I KNEW you’d love Goat Rocks! Since this is late September (and three weeks before my 80th b’day!) And you said it was late August at a point near Mt. Adams, I’m assuming you’ve finished the PCT! Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems you had less than 400 miles to go till the end. I’m still looking forward to your final episodes of your vlog, though! You guys help me to feel younger watching you travel the trail and associate with your friends and companions! Thanks for that! It brings back memories of me and friends doing the same thing! Oh, I am looking forward to your impressions of the North Cascades!
  • @micheandmikey
    BELLINGHAM!! Woo hoo!!! I'm skipping around watching these. I've been waiting for the Washington one! It's Mike! 😁
  • @jimo2665
    Your videos make me want to hike the PCT again. The last 500 miles of a thru hike I think most are over hiking until the last week when you realize you will be leaving your new friends and going back to real life and after a week or two home resting and seeing friends and family you will wish you were back on trail. (as you may or may not agree since you are probably home now😊)

    Arielle…..just found your channel and this video. I enjoyed this as I know how wonderful the Goat Rocks Wilderness is. I am always impressed and happy when young females get out into the outdoors and do something like this. This is always a big undertaking to through hike this trail. Thanks for taking us along. I subscribed to your channel and want to see more.
  • @johnalden5821
    Amazing views! Goat Rocks looks intense -- at one point a couple folks looked like they were almost staggering in the wind. You guys are intrepid!
  • @roncross1945
    September 14 was heavy clouds and smoke from fires on “The Knives Edge” too. Love your videos.
  • @dinawhite5175
    Wow how cool your last state bridge of the Gods is so beautiful that whole are is unbelievable lots of berries & lots of bears so be careful
  • @donterres5315
    I was there the same night and day as you. Great reminder of that incredible place! I have the best ever photo of goat rocks that morning but can’t seam to share in this format . Sporkless
  • Awesome that the clouds lifted for some stunning views at the Beautiful Campsite. Knife’s Edge was breathtaking. ❤
  • pinch seems like he is more than 3 days' worth of hiker trash. goat rocks are one of the coolest, can't wait for the Kendal catwalk. fun fact the catwalk is the most expensive part of the whole pct when it was built
  • Thanks so much to you and your husband, such a great video. Praying God's healing touch for your hip to get you thru, and relief from the pain. Knife's edge shots were so EPIC!!! I am just really glad to have found your videos, they are super encouraging. I am hiking a lot these days, preparing for some section hikes and I am very excited.
