@@russellzauner That's true. It is a part of the Great Basin which makes SE Oregon different. I prefer the lush forests and waterfalls but some people prefer desert mountain ranges with a lot of sagebrush.

@@tietan867 I think I would make a great tour guide. Oregon is a great place to visit or take a backpacking trip. So much to see and do in the PNW. Thanks for watching.

@@vs123 Indeed. It's such a different landscape compared to the Western side. I prefer the lush green forests and waterfalls but the desert is also beautiful in its own way. Thanks for watching.

@@pyronymph-868 It's such a stark contrast. The different landscapes make the PNW special. I prefer the lush forests and waterfalls but the desert with the hills and cliffs are also beautiful. Thanks for watching.

@@mariojsworld For sure. I had a lot of fun on that hike. Thanks for watching.

@@steveblanmag7410 I took Hwy 26 E to Lolo Pass Rd then took Muddy Forks Rd. and then Forest road 1825. Trailhead parking is slightly past Lost Creek campground. I believe it is the zigzag side. I don't think there is another way to get there.

@@PacificNWHiker thank you for the Video and thank you for the quick reply! I thought there was a trail to hike there from a completely diff direction.

@@steveblanmag7410 No problem. I believe you have to get on Lolo Pass to get there as far as I know. Thanks for watching the video.

@@TrailStrider909 I had a blast on that hike. Really incredible views. Thanks for watching.

Appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video. I had a lot of fun on that hike. More content on the way. Thanks for the sub.

@@Graybeard_ This is why the Pacific Northwest will always be #1 in my eyes. The level of beauty that surrounds us no matter where we are is amazing. If I ever make it up that far north I'll have to check out Chopaka Mountain. Thanks for watching.

@@sheilaedwards6448 Wow, this was one of my first videos. This is a great trail with really nice views. I was in Sonora for a couple months for work and I really enjoyed my time there and the surrounding area. The California Foothills are beautiful. Thanks for checking out the video.

@@NaturFuturaASMR Thank you. It was a really fun hike and the views were incredible. Thanks for watching and the sub.

Yeah that tree was just oozing moss. The forest was the only flat part of the trail and provided some shade and a cool little creek as well. So glad I had another nice day out for some absolutely gorgeous scenic views.

@@stevecopenhaver6152 Thank you. I had such great weather. Really fun.

It does look like a great trip, would hike if my heart would let me.

@@drdustinhenry It's a great hike. It does have some intense elevation gain after the first half mile but it's a short hike and the views are worth it. Plus it's not heavily trafficked at all.

Thank you. I worked hard on that video. I actually do have a gear review of everything I took with me on the Timberline. I think I did that video right after this one. I went first week of September last year so now is the perfect time for you. If you go hopefully you get some clear skies so you can get those amazing views of Hood. If not, the trail is still awesome. Let me know if you have any questions after you check out my gear review video.

Didn't know this was a rock climbing spot. That's pretty cool. I've only seen people scramble to the top. Beautiful views.

@@Mashemell.Travel It's a great trail for sure. It has a great ridgeline for awesome views. I was glad to have such a great day. Thanks for checking out the video.

Absolutely. That's why I couldn't wait to get back there. I was so bummed last year but this year I was able to get clear skies. One of the best views of Hood for sure.

@@adamoakes7567 It's a very short trail. Less than 2 miles to the top. While some sections of the trail is pretty wide the rest is kinda narrow. I've been there twice and never saw an ATV. Maybe the forest road leading to the trailhead would be fun but not the actual trail. The dirt road on top that you see is really just the end of the trail.

No motorized vehicles allowed

@@RicardoMorin thanks for the reply

@@RicardoMorin Thanks for clarifying.

@@stevecopenhaver6152 Thank you so much. I waited a year to get back there. You just never know with these mountains. Happy that Hood was in full view. Didn't expect wildflowers this late but they are hanging on. Also glad it wasn't windy so I was excited to get that drone footage. I'm having so much fun with that thing and I want to step my game up for all of my subscribers and potential subscribers.

@@nwhiking3398 Thank you very much. Glad you enjoy the videos. It's definitely true, I put a lot of work into making these videos. I want people to see the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. I had a lot of fun on that trail. Views were amazing.

Thanks. I had a lot of fun on that one. I was glad I was able to get some sick drone footage.

@@nickkestie You're welcome. It's a great hike with a fantastic waterfall. Thanks for watching.

@@vandoeunsot0168 Thank you for the kind words. Glad you liked the video.

Thanks so much. Glad you liked the video. Such an epic trail. Awesome you were able to experience it as well.

@@hankmishima4798 That's awesome. Great time to do this hike. You will have a blast. Thanks for checking out my video. Enjoy your adventure.

@@adamoakes7567 Thanks for the sub. I had a lot of fun on that hike. Definitely a top lister. Similar views as Silver Star Mountain but shorter trail which is nice. Enjoy the views when you get there.

@@PacificNWHiker are you saying do both? :)

@@adamoakes7567 Both hikes are fantastic. I would put Silver Star Mountain on your list as well for sure.

@@Zoomdak It really is. That hike was on my list for a while. Great views and a nice misty waterfall to end it off. Thanks for watching.

@@sheenachong6078 Great question. For a beginner hiker I would go with someone. There are multiple river and creek crossings and some are more difficult than others to cross. Also depends on when you do this trail. If you go early summer the water crossings will be tougher because there is more snowmelt but if you go when I went (early September) the crossings are easier. As far as the trail, if you go clockwise like I did, the first 10 miles are a piece of cake. After that the next 20 miles will have some sections with serious elevation gain. This middle part of the trail is the hardest. Last 10 miles are easy (flat) except the last mile uphill back to the lodge. Most of the trail is easy to follow but there are sections that aren't so easy. So being with someone with good navigational skills is important. I would say it would be hard for a beginner hiker going alone but if you go with someone with experience and just do 10 miles per day, difficulty will be moderate but super fun. I also want to mention that your pack weight can make your hike easy or hard so don't go overboard packing. A heavy pack going uphill sucks. Overall, this trail is super beautiful and fun. There is good reason it is a bucket list hike for so many people. As a beginner, bring someone who has backpacked before and stick to 10 miles a day. You will have a blast. I have a video on all the gear I brought if that helps. Hopefully I answered your question.

@@PacificNWHiker Yes super helpful!! Thank you!! I'm going with my friend who did the PCT lol. Our plan is 10 miles a day. We going in a week!

@@sheenachong6078 That's awesome. You're going to have a blast. Last piece of advice, you will be at elevation so it will get cold at night. Let me know how it goes. Hope you have great weather.

@@PacificNWHiker Im back! It was amazing! Night time wasnt cold at all. Finished in 3 nights 4 days. The 4th day on Wednesday it was extremely windy and cold. It started to rain around 11am which we started at 6am a mile after cloud cap to pass the peak before the rain came. It was definately dangerous up there when it was high winds. Great hike though! Def not beginner friendly. I struggled alot for the elevation and one of the last streams, I slipped and got pushed off the edge. My friend was able to hold on but half my body got wet. I went clockwise! Thank you for the advice!

@@sheenachong6078 Sounds like you had a great adventure. So glad you enjoyed it and that you took my advice to go with someone. That elevation gain and river/creek crossings can be quite intimidating for a beginner. Now you have a cool story to tell about that water crossing. The weather is definitely unpredictable with mountains but sounds like you had nice weather overall except that last day. Congratulations on completing the trail. Keep on hiking and I hope you have more adventures.

@@waterfallmadman I was really impressed with this trail. One of my favorite trails now. Great views high and low. Waterfall was flowing just enough for a nice mist.

@@dmpmasters3353 That's awesome. Views are spectacular on a clear day. Even if it's not clear it is still amazing. It's a grinder to get to the top but so well worth it. Thanks for watching.

@PacificNWHiker starting from Ed's trailhead makes the hike way easier

@@dmpmasters3353 Good to know. Thanks.

@@stevecopenhaver6152 Thanks so much. Such a great hike. Awesome views along the entire trail and I love that it ends with a waterfall. Wasn't flowing that strong but still good enough for a cool mist.

@@pyronymph-868 Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed the views.

@@tapaniviikkila Highly recommend. On a clear day it's hard to beat this view. Thanks for watching.

@@rohan-ghosh Depends on how often you are using your stove, the altitude you are at, and how cold it is. Typically, a 100 gram canister will last 45 minutes of continuous burn on average.

@@markhawkins1499 Incredible views. It is for sure a great place to call home. Thanks for watching.

@@nwsights6301 That's awesome to hear. It's a nice waterfall that not many people see or even know about (unless they watch my video lol). It's a great area for sure. Glad my video helped.

That was one of my favorite hikes ever. There is good reason why this is on the bucket list for so many backpackers. I could only fit in so many highlights in my video. It's a really special trail. Highly recommend for anyone looking to do a short backpacking trip. I definitely went at a great time, early September. Less trafficked, less bugs, and easier water crossings. Thanks for watching. Appreciate the kind words.

@@stevecopenhaver6152 I'd like to do the McKenzie River Trail. If not this year then next year. It sure is a beautiful area. Thanks for checking out the video. I had a lot of fun on that hike.

Thank you for sharing your backpacking adventures. And that's an awesome proposal you did. Congrats to you and your wife for sticking together. The Loowit trail is definitely not an easy trail but it is very unique. The north side is for sure getting more green. There are still no fees or reservations needed which is nice. I was thinking about hiking around Mt. Adams this year or going around part of it. But I will definitely do the Eagle Creek Trail which is supposed to be one of the most beautiful trails in the U.S. Have a blast in Olympic NP. Never been there. I'm sure it is going to be awesome. It would be cool if you did the Loowit again, especially 3 decades later. Thanks for checking out the video.

@@waterfallmadman Thanks. I had really nice weather that day. Mostly clear. Great for my drone footage. Views were incredible.

@@Zoomdak Thank you. I really enjoyed that hike and was happy to get some awesome drone shots.

@@wanderingoutyonder Absolutely. It is a special place and I'm glad I live here. Thanks for watching.

@@stevecopenhaver6152 I was surprised to see wildflowers at all but there they were close to the top. I'm so glad I had a great day. The views were amazing and I was able to capture great footage with the drone. Thanks for watching.

@@nwhiking3398 Thank you. It was such a great hike. I started on the PCT off of road W-2000. I believe it's the Rock Creek Pass Trailhead.

@@pyronymph-868 My pleasure. I'm glad you liked the views. That's what my channel is all about. If you are unable to make it to these spots then I will bring it to you through my videos. This was one of my favorite view hikes I have done.

@@mydearriley The creek has many waterfalls. Many small tumbling falls, a few 20 footers, a 25 footer called Fan Falls, a 50 footer, and a 35 footer. Dog Creek is popular for canyoneering for this reason. I didn't go very far down the creek as I wasn't equipped to do so but it was beautiful for sure.

@@waterfallmadman Thanks. I did that one in June. I don't know what flowers they were but they were super beautiful. Waterfall was flowing real nice. A lot of trees and branches around so I had limited drone footage but still got a nice shot of it.

@@GlitteryTreatsASMR Appreciate it. Thanks for the sub. It's a wonderful spot here in the PNW.

@@stevecopenhaver6152 Thank you very much. My drone footage was limited due to a lot of trees and branches around the wayerfall but I got the best footage I could get. I don't typically track my hiking mileage or elevation gain but I track all the hikes so if I wanted to I could figure it all out at the end of the year. I only track my running mileage consistently.
