Big Pine Lakes Backpacking & Palisade Glacier - Most epic campsite EVER!

Video from my Big Pine Lakes 3 day backpacking trip in September, 2022! I think I say “WOW!” about 100 times in this video and for good reason! Lol

I got to camp at the most breathtaking/perfect campsite I have ever seen for two wonderful nights and went on a spectacular day hike up to the Palisade Glacier!

00:00:20 DAY 1 on the trail begins!

00:43:54 Take cover!
00:45:43 Almost done
00:46:41 Back to the Manivan

I know this one is even longer than my normal not so short videos, but this trip was the most epic experience of my entire life and I feel like I need every bit of footage included to fully capture my experience over those 3 days. It’s hard to put into words how beautiful the Big Pine Lakes area is and camping at Second Lake was a dream, especially considering that I got lucky enough to snag “THE campsite”, aka the best campsite there! This is my new favorite place and I will definitely be going back!
