Maroon Bells Pt 1 - Road Trip! Philly to Aspen in 29 Hours
It’s 4:30 PM on a weekday. Can Mike and I make it from Philly to Aspen, Colorado by tomorrow night for a hike the next morning? Hop in and join us for the drive.
For this multi-part adventure, we’ll be faced with two challenges.
Phase 1 (seen in this video, Pt 1): Driving on a substantial time crunch from the east coast to Colorado, without any hotels or road food purchases. This will not only keep the budget low, but will also save us a ton of time by not having to check-in/out, be tempted to sleep in, decide where/what to eat, stand in lines etc. Sleeping will be done in the car (while the other person drives) and all meals will be comprised of cooler-stored left-overs and pre-purchased beverages. The only stops allowed: bathroom breaks and gas pumps.
Phase 2 (covered in the next video, Pt 2) will be a multi-day hike of the Four Pass Loop, within the Maroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness, located just outside of Aspen Colorado (about 3 hours west of Denver).
Departure time: 4:30 PM, after work on 8/30/16.
Total Distance: 1,900 miles (one way)
Time allowance: (yes, without speeding): 32 hours, which would get us to the trail head before midnight the next day.
States traversed: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado
Vehicle: Honda Pilot equipped with queen size air mattress and Igloo Wheelie Cooler.

Coming out Heavy from the High Country and had to cross this creek! It made for an added challenge to cross the creek with Elk quarters and camp on our backs! Jeremiah ended up taking a quick frigid swim and it was all captured on film.
Backpacking The Greater Yellowstone: Thorofare Creek/Yellowstone River Headwaters Full Video
This is a 6 day backpacking trip we did in Wyoming this past September. The trip was in both the Washakie and Teton Wilderness, and the Absaroka Mountains, which make up part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. This area sits just outside the south east corner of Yellowstone National Park, and is one of the more remote areas in the lower 48 states.We did a loop from the South Fork of the Shoshone River, going up Ishawooa Creek to the pass, down Pass Creek, up Thorofare Creek, into both the north and south fork drainages of the Yellowstone River, over to Marston Pass, down some of the Buffalo Plateau, and then down Bliss Creek to the Shoshone River.
Some of the route was off trail. Some of the trails here don't show up in maps, and often times we used what I call outfitter trails, which are trails maintained by horse packers and hunting guides. There is a good variety of wildlife in this area, including grizzly bears, moose, bighorn sheep, elk, deer, black bears, and wolves. We saw a bunch of grizzly sign, but only one grizzly bear and one black bear. In past experiences I've seen numerous grizzly bears in this area and on exact parts of this route. We passed a wildfire which was kind of exciting. We also went during rifle hunting season for elk, which wasn't a great idea. We had been given wrong information about when rifle season started, otherwise we probably wouldn't have done this trip.

In Sept of 2017 We traveled to and incredible place at the base of the Big Horn Mountains outside of Sheridan WY. Here we got to experience a once in a lifetime moment of Polo and Rodeo combined.
