I was a little over a mile into my five-and-a-half-mile hike back to the trailhead when I decided to make a rough video of the remainder of my hike for my family in the UK. I’ve never done this before, and may not bother again, but here’s the final three-and-a-half hours of my hike, compressed into 14 minutes.

Here’s the final three-and-a-half hours of my hike, compressed into 14 minutes.

Long Creek and the Long Creek trail are hugely popular, so I stay away from them most of the time, but I figured a Monday afternoon in early March ought to be people free, and it was.

Note. In this video I use the historical trail names:

• Cedar Trail is now referred to as the Middle Trail.
• Long Creek Trail is still the Long Creek Trail (but it has been extended to include what was Rock Spring Trail).
• Pole Hollow Trail is now referred to as the Pete Hollow Trail ¯\(ツ)/¯
• Pilot Trail is now referred to as the Tower Trail.
