Interesting! I have always envisioned that ski huts in Europe, any of them, would see a lot of visitation. Winter sports in Europe seem to be practiced by a larger percentage of the population than in N.A. Did you need to reserve the hut?, or is it first come, first serve? Is it a public hut, or private? Thanks for posting!
Thank you for taking interest in our trip. That is generally true but for the most part in warmer days, in winter not so much only if the shelter is located close to the car road. We are not experts at all at winter sports, that was just a nice adventure to have in the middle of winter. You don't need to reserve the hut and that has its pros and cons. It is very convenient to plan a spontaneous overnight trip but you never know whether there's going to be more people coming or not. And we think it is built for the public use, so can be considered public. Thank you for asking.

While being snowed in this last week I have enjoyed watching your Camino hike with it's blue ocean and hot weather. I bet you thought of those days while slogging through the snow. I like seeing reports from places I will probably never go to, but can dream about.
Thank you for commenting, really happy that you enjoy our work. We did and it's a comforting thought that these days are about to come again. But we still try to enjoy the moment as it is a very different experience that's nice to have.

ditto. the nature of these posts seem to be a tool to garner hits and likes on YT content.
Also nwhikers ranks pretty high in Google searches, so it's a way to build a social media brand. I haven't watched any of these videos so maybe I don't know what I am missing, but they don't seem relevant here.
Sorry if it made you think like that. Our goal has never been to gain more likes or views but rather to share our experiences with as many people as we can and hope that somebody finds it useful and then we would be happy. As well as finding the like-minded people who share the same interests with us. As nwe always put a lot of time and effort in our work we feel that there's nothing wrong in sharing it.

Keep sharing. Nice report! A location in the title would help out with folks who want to click by because it's not local to the NW.

Yes!!! Absolutely keep on posting here. Other have contributed epic trips from South America, east coast photography gems, southwest road-trip teasing pictures in winter, as well as the Camino destination I may make one day. It's all "value-added" to the forum. up.gif

So now the NWHikers volunteer police force is discouraging content. huh.gif Apparently there is a vocal minority here who would rather read about an overnighter up Navaho Peak. biggrin.gif What happened to you iron? You went from posting some of the most awesome trip reports on the site, to spraying other posters, to full-on trolling. rolleyes.gif

It's somewhat useful as it's written from the perspective of a NWHiker. Perhaps one should have to earn the privilege of posting non-regional trip reports by posting 10 PNW trip reports first :-) Personally, I post trip reports for European hikes to Hikr, because that's where I look for information on routes and conditions.

The day started with a stunning location we were camping in. The sky was covered in clouds but it was painted in a beautiful colors of sunrise. Yesterday we fall asleep by the sound of the ocean and monotone songs of zucades. That was very calming. We slept very well, it was a very quiet night, you can even say hot because there was no wind. The day promised to be cloudy and cooler than the rest of the days which we were glad to see cause walking in the sun gets quite tiring. So we had our breakfast and left to search for the official Camino route that was going higher away from the oceanside. And this 5 km path that we took to it probably was the most scenic so far. It was definetely challenging but we got to see the huge rocks with the pores, abrupt cliffs, mountain shelter with the swings and even condor bird which we didn't even know was living there. So we enjoyed this part throughly and decided that we would take these opportunities to get away from the official route when we can. We got out on the car road and instead if going on it we took the GR route that was going parallel. So we didn't really lose anything. We were getting close to the Pasaia city and knew that we had to take the boat to cross the channel port. So we did and it turned out to be no more than 40 sec. trip. We didn't even have time to realize what it was. The village itself looked a really old port city with a particular architecture very different from what you would see on Mediterranean Sea. Then we took the opposite direction from the Camino indicators and got straight into the city San Sebastian because we already lost quite a bit of time in the mountains and we still had lots of things to do. It was quite a long walk and we regret we didn't took the bus to our needed destination. In the city all the churches were closed for some reason so we didn't put a stamp in our pilgrim credential hoping that in the other smaller villages on the way we'll compensate that. Although we didn't check the tourist office probably they do that as well. Also we bought some food as usual to have a snack and for the dinner-breakfast preparation. The last stretch of the day was 8.5 kms and they were probably the hardest ones cause we were already tired from the city, it's noisiness and crowdness and extremely hot weather but we had to gather all the powers left and do it to our camping spot. The city San Sebastian turned out to be a very big city and even reminded us a bit the other Spanish city Barcelona where we had lived for 3 years before. But of course it has its own speciality and feel. It was almost impossible but we managed to get to our camping site and all we wanted was to take a shower and sleep as much as we could. And so we did. Watch the full video here:

We always prefer to cook it ourselves so we buy it in the supermarket

Hello, everyone! We are a young couple who dedicates themselve to creating photo and video content, as well as our own music. Our content is related to travelling and adventures. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to walk more and care for nature around. On the 5th day we woke up in the camping after a good sleep, but we got up late because of the hard previous day and because yesterday night the people were quite noisy. This camping was the most crowded that we've been on this way so far. And we had no electricity included in the price so we had to charge all of our gear in the shower room staying there like for an hour or so. In the morning after we had our breakfast and were ready to go the rain started so we had to wait for it to calm down. We were stuck in the camping but at least charged the electronics a bit more that will be very needed afterwards. The rain was going on and off during all that day but wasn't too strong. So we still were able to film and to move forward. So the first part of the way was going through the beautiful fields and forest areas with very fresh air. Then we passed through the port village Orio where there was a lot of highways crossing and lots of traffic and noise because of that. We walked through the bridge crossing the river, that was smelling quite nasty, and then started to move uphill in direction of the city Zarautz. There we started to see lots of vineyards on the both sides of the path so we could guess that this industry is quite developed here. At one point we took quite a long break because the yesterday's adventure was still getting at us. The muscles were very sore and the weather was very changeable. This break saved us afterwards so that we had more powers. We got to the city of Zarautz quite quickly moving downhill enjoying the picturesque views of the ocean and the beach from above. In the city we had to find some gas for the stove and we didn't succeed in it cause there were only the big ones and every extra weight is unnecessary in our case. So we just bought the food and had a little snack at the beach. Then we headed to the tourist office for the Zarautz stamp and they gladly gave it to us. So from now on we decided to direct there instead of the churches because they have more flexible schedule. And we even thought of why they don't have a place where anybody can come and put it himself at any time. Probably they don't do it because some people can take advantage of it and do the Camino by car for example and it won't be fare to the real pilgrims. After doing all that we we out to take the GR 121 and find a place to stealth camp cause the campsites were quite far and it was getting very late. It was a very challenging task because the area the route goes through is quite populated and used for agriculture but we managed to find a secluded place in a little forest so that nobody could see us and almost in complete dark we did all the set up and went to sleep.

We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to walk more and care for nature around. The night was quiet and very warm that was a second time us experiencing of how warm it can be in the forest at night. All we heard was an owl and several birds. Everything was quite wet from the rain yesterday and extremely humid so the tent was twice as heavy cause it soaked up all that wetness. We had a real quick breakfast with a stunning view cause we knew that we had to do our norm for today and that was up to 20 km again. And somewhere on the way we had to find some gas cause otherwise we wouldn't be able to cook and for us it's a big deal. The morning was beautiful: fresh air, warm sunlight and very idyllic picture. We wished it could last forever. We took the indicators of the Camino and followed them during all that day. And it's been great, we could see that they renovated them not long ago and it was very hard to lose the trail. We walked in that beautiful weather first 6 km and then when we got to Askizu the black clouds came and it started to rain. We decided to wait for it to calm down under the roof of the old church with the other pilgrims. We had to wait up to an hour and lost quite a lot of time. The weather was very changeable all day long. At one moment the sun was shining and the other it was raining again. But the most of the day it was drizzling rain and the black clouds were moving fast towards the land from the oceanside. That kind of weather influenced me (Angelina) very badly. I had a headache every time the clouds came out but it was going away when the sky cleared up. The route to the city Zumaia was very scenic - we got to see the ocean, the forest and endless fields with the mountain backdrop. It was absolutely breathtaking. The roads were dirty and slippery and the whole day we were going up and down the hills because the relief was very mountainous. But the route wasn't all the way the same, sometimes it was dirty paths and sometimes pavement roads. But very quiet overall. We enjoyed it very much. That day we tried out our raincoats for the first time, they helped a bit but it is quite annoying to constantly putting it on and off because of the changeable weather. It was very hot to walk in them uphill so we had to put them off. We realized that this was that challenging part the people from the forums were telling us about referring that the first week is the most difficult. But it was fine for us maybe because we have some experience living in the mountains and hiking. Zumaia greeted us with the other rain and not being able to find the so needed gas we left it quite quickly. Before leaving we quickly got into the tourist office to have a stamp. We were out to the next city Deba which was 5-6 km hike uphill and then downhill. We were keeping a good pace in order to get to our camping spot as early as possible. When we were about to enter the city we decided that we'll have time to go past it to the next camping. We spent a good hour in the city searching for the gas and didn't find it. Then we regreted that moment that we didn't buy a bigger one before. And in the rain and dusk we left again to the mountains and had to make 5.5 km more which seemed quite an impossible task to do. But we were about to do it anyway cause we didn't have other option or we had to sleep in the forest again. But we really had to charge our gear so had no choice. Very exhausted and dirty we got to the camping. The gate was closed and we had to hop over it and get inside. Because the main entrance was on the other side and it meant to have an extra walk. So we did it and could finally rest and sleep in peace. Watch the full video here:

In today's video we share with you our one day hike from Porta, France to the village Pas de la Casa in Andorra. We really been wanting to explore Andorra for a while and finally it was the time to do it. We started on the beautiful sunny August day in Porta and started to walk uphill following the river Campcardos. Right form the start the trail was going alongside the GR route for some time and the marking has been great. Throughout the day the trail had no too steep uphills but rather constant gentle uphill and just towards the end there was quite a steep rocky downhill. The area we've been walking through was an incredible beauty: lots of huge massive rocks, great rocky cliffs, peaceful river banks with horse and cow pastures. We did enjoy a lot hiking in this idyllic picturesque valley with incredible views all the way. We did met lots of reptiles, insects and birds and saw some marmots in the distance as well. The weather was quite favourable sunny but with a cool wind and at the end we even felt chilly as the fog was coming down from the mountain summits. We passed through several mountain lakes and were about to cross the border from France to Andorra right at the mountain ridge. Walking downhill to the village Pas de la Casa was a little more demanding than uphill but the views of the glorious mountain peaks painted in gold and then pinky sunset colors were compensating all the efforts. We were astonished by the massiveness of the falling rocks on the trail and the different colors of the cliffs around us. We didn't plan to get all the way down to the village so being couple kms from it we started to look for the camping spot. And it was quite a challenge in such a rocky and mountanious area. So we found a little building with some flat concrete surface at the side of it and decided that we won't find anything better that this. And unfortunately there wasn't any campgrounds close. But we did our best to set up a tent using rocks in order to keep it in place and it did work out great. This experience will be definetely useful for our future hikes. The fog was slowly coming down over our heads so we got in our tent to stay warm, had our dinner and peacefully went to sleep. Watch the full video here:

I've been seeing your trip reports on nwhikers for a while but this is the first time I've watched one of your videos. Very good! Beautiful area. I've always been curious about the Pyrenees. Also, I like your close-up nature footage. (the caterpillar, flowers, etc.)
