The hardest/longest hike I've done I don't even remember the name, but think it was just west of the 66/22 junction by the Elbow. It was about 4 hours and my wife and I were getting concerned we were lost - sort of messed up enjoying ourselves. The other "longer" (and no it's not long at all) one was Heart Creek. Just to get a sense of how rookie I really am.

I am not sure about videos, but if you’re concerned about getting lost, pick up an eTrex and keep up to date on trail reports for closures or detours. Join a few Slow & Steady hikers Meetups if you have time.
