  It was VERY enjoyable watching your video, nice music too.  I love that trail!  It gave me the motivation to finish it as I've done 80% of the WT, but almost entirely in day trips over the last few years, and I have 3 segments left (E, W, and N sides).  Your mileage pace seemed quick, but then I'm almost 70.  I brought my wife to the very quiet White River CG just for dinner the evening guys were up at Summerland CG.

  Awesome video & photos!  My son & I started the WT on 9/9/22 at White River, went CCW and finished on 9/17/22.  It was fun to relive our hike watching the video.  Thanks for creating & posting!

  Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. Such a beautiful trail. I definitely have that on my to do list. I completed the Loowit Trail around Mount St. Helens in September. Highly recommend. Super challenging but very beautiful. The Pacific Northwest is so amazing.

  We were your neighbors at Maple Creek.  Glad to see you finished.  You had a huge day to Summerland!!

  I hiked the Wonderland Trail clockwise, Longmire to Longmire, and it’s interesting to see it from the other direction. Nice video, good job. This has got me seriously thinking about a return trip.

  I hiked the Wonderland Trail CCW in 7 days also, but starting and ending at Longmire way back in 2001.  I remember each day being tough with the mileages and elevation changes, but awesome scenery and an amazing experience.  Great to relive this hike through your hike!

  Thanks for sharing! We're getting ready to do more hiking in the PNW next summer and sections of the Wonderland are on our short-list.

  We did this hike the exact same time of year but in 2021! I think it's the best time of year to hike the Wonderland :) We started at Mowich Lake and hiked clockwise in 6 days. Wished we had that extra day or two though!

  did the Mowich to Spray Park loop last year, camping at Carbon River as well. Also did a quick custom loop starting at Sunrise prior. Doing those got me thinking about doing the whole WT at some point....great video, great motivation :)

  Man, all those uphills are crazy! You guys killed it. <br><br>We did this the opposite direction as a family, in 2016... and your uphills seem much more difficult &amp; unending than the ones we had going clockwise. <br><br>Well done!! Beautiful video. What a mountain.

  Thanks for uploading this video. &nbsp;I’m planning on going the same way but hoping to do it in eight days instead. &nbsp;My appointment is on April 7th. &nbsp;Hope the campsites will have space!
