3 Volcanoes (Mt Adams, Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens) with a spectacular wildflower show with mainly alpine hiking. This was a 4-day Backpacking trip into the beautiful Goat Rocks Wilderness. I had the chance to do this loop with two friends. Great to share this experience with others. This trip was completed the first week of August during this above average snow year.

Tip: On the last day, don't skip the Goat Ridge Lookout. It offers an impressive view looking back at the Goat Rocks.

    You are saving lives with your videos man
  • Somehow I got away from your channel. Glad I found it again. Great stuff! You shoot a nice video! Love the terrain!
  • Did this one about 3 weeks ago. One of my favorite places in the world. That section before the bit of road walking was not great... Lots of bushwhacking.
  • @dm91637
    Great photography and music. Thank you for sharing. What was date of trip....to help understand wildflower bloom dates and snow conditions....at least this year...for planning purposes?
  • @timschaefer7546
    Question for you. I see you went counter clockwise on the trail...any particular reason? Another is...what was the reason to add the spur on the north on the ridge? We are going late July and looking for few people and wildflowers. Think we'll be in luck?
  • @kylerusso
    awesome video, gorgeous trail. if you had to do it again, would you pick the same direction & time of year?
  • @west24878
    Fantastic video. Looks like you're using the Kakwa 40 here. What did you think of it?
  • @yunwu6061
    Very nice video! May I ask what kind of bag you put inside of your Ursack? It looks just like something I need but not able to find it anywhere…
  • @nikofrno346
    What were the campsites you chose and mileage each day? Thank you and great video!
  • @Jackson-ev5hp
    From your perspective would it be safe to hike in the goat rocks mid June with NO snow experience?
  • @Zoomdak
    Such a beautiful and relaxing film. So glad I found your channel. Count me as a new sub :D
  • @HaleyEnten
    did you find the knife’s edge section to be pretty sketchy?
