"24" - 24 Hours in the Mountains (Series) - Episode 1: Hyalite Cirque (near Bozeman, Montana)

This is the first video in a series called "24" that will appear at Backpacking Light starting in Fall 2009. The programs highlight trips taken by lightweight backpackers in 24 hours from door-to-door (e.g., the door of your home), and focus on the majesty of the areas visited and the experience of the "quickie" trip. This first trip was a short and quick trek up Hyalite Canyon to the head of the cirque where Hyalite Lake resides, taken on September 20-21, 2009 right before the fall equinox. Stay tuned for the full story, which includes a photo essay, narrative, and skills article to be published at backpackinglight.com on October 7, 2009.

Thanks for this video. My mom and stepdad lived at the mouth of the canyon, and she wanted her ashes spread up in the canyon when she passed six years ago.

Firstly, fantastic videography, commentary and editing.

Secondly, I love the 24 hour concept. Will have to try that myself. Your approach to minimising the time and effort for food is right for just 24 hours. I think sometimes we tend to over think things.
