  1. Another Great Video and Soundtrack! Would you happen to know the name of Pianist/Artist on your "Hiking Tip #1" and "Summer in the Sierras" Short Videos? The Songs are so beautiful! Thanks very much!

  2. How many miles from your car to the first lake. I’m new to backpacking and would love have this as one of my first sierra trips. Can you camp at the lake? Thank you for the great videos

  3. I’m going out to do this with my son on Saturday I live in Colorado and have so many trails for us to explore he is only 1 so I’m gonna have to trek him but I feel like it would be the best bonding moment just son and father I can’t wait
