Our PRIVATE IDAHO! Moved here from SoCal for three years now, my family just loves it here! As long as you don't drive like you own the roads, be respectful and keep the environment clean, most Idahoans WELCOME you with an open mind and heart! :-)
One of your videos popped up on my recommended and I decided to take a look... and WOW I'm so glad I did! These videos are awesome and the production quality is amazing, those drone shots looked so good! It's crazy that your channel only has under 800 subscribers when it's obvious you both deserve way more! Good luck for the future and I'm certain that in the next few years you'll have over 100 thousand subscribers, no doubt about it. Cheers! (I don't usually write such long comments but your travel videos are so fun and interesting to watch, I had to!)
Idaho is so amazingly beautiful. Love the lakes, crazy gorgeous waterfalls. So much fun with so many activities - wow. We are loving your videos, providing inspiring journey. Those sporadic rain and thunder, love it. We are so down for those hot springs it's like the cherry on top. Idaho potatoes are the BEST!
We go to the Sawtooths every year! Heaven on earth. Goat lake is amazing but, Sawtooth lake is my favorite, you pass Alpine lake on the way which is awesome also. Next time you both are back Sawtooth lake is a must!
Glad you decided to stop by Redfish, and showcase some of the natural beauty there is. Really hope our dock boys treated you well!(that's what we Redfish people call our dock hands)
Yea, I reiterate what someone else said....I'm starting work this morning and this video popped up. I love this kind of footage and I watched the whole thing! You both seem to have good chemistry and are fun to watch. Keep making videos like this and your channel will grow fast. Thanks for the video, now I want to get to Stanley. 😆
Funny story about Stanley Id, I drove up from Boise late morning and I thought when I get to Stanley I will stop at McDonalds for a quick bite to eat. Needless to say no McDs but got a sandwich at the local store. The Sawtooth Mts are awesome.
This video just popped up for me and I’m so glad it did! My son and his family live in Caldwell, and the only thing I’ve seen when visiting is their house and Walmart. 😟 Pulling my camper out there this summer and will be expanding my horizons thanks to you. New sub here, anxious to watch more. Thank you for sharing your journey!
If you make it back to the Sawtooths, definitely do the overnight backpacking trip up to Alice Lake. It's absolutely stunning, and when the lake is still it's like a mirror, reflecting all of the mountains and big sky around it. Also you should have taken a dip in Goat lake. It's invigorating after that hike up..
We actually did do that hike and absolutely loved it! We hiked the Pettit and toxaway lakes loop hike and stayed one night on Alice lake and the other on Lake Toxaway! It was amazing!!
Hopefully you got to eat at the Cafe bakery in town. As a native. Glad you enjoyed but now 54,000 more people know about Stanley. I'm sure the 63 residents appreciate that. FYI Most of the trails up there are always longer than they are posted.
Just down hwy 33 snuggled along the Pacific in Ventura here! And I grew up in Stanley and Challis... my family homesteaded much of Stanley and Challis. Its gorgeous for sure! But not much compares to this part of So. Cal for year round loving and living! Oh and if you need your So Cal whitewater kayaking fix... the Kern River is in the backyard and home to Brush Creek and Dry Meadow Creek... my faves!
I live in Utah, and it's been a nightmare since Covid and these influencers are trying to be cool. I feel like the mountain states should prioritize their residents over tourists who don't pay taxes nor appreciate it.
It would be nice if it remained "under rated." Unfortunately influencers' need to increase their views have to broadcast that they found places "You've never heard of." Visit any national park such and you'll see how they are being ruined by too many tourists. Many parks have had to turn to lottery systems to control the number of visitors. Spain is a good example of a popular place that has protested over the mass tourism.
Just found your channel by looking for other Idaho vlogs 😂 We did this exact thing about a month ago! Idaho really blew us away. Also, I think our Sawtooth Lake vlog is going to turn out exactly like this lol. Are you guys going to back to full-time travel internationally when things have gotten better?
Ohh awesome!!! Idaho really is amazing!!! We certainly are hoping to start traveling internationally again... we are thinking maybe come January. 🤞🤞🤞 what are y’all thinking??
@@WaypointofView The exact same actually! We've been booking a 2 week Mexico trip, and then we're planning on buying a ticket to Heathrow to book onward from there just depending on circumstances!
Just stumbled across this video because I'm looking to travel up to Idaho. This is the ultimate dream of myself and my wife, to quit our jobs and travel the world. If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to travel with no jobs or income? Was money saved or did you all have supplemental income coming in. Thank you
Hi Evan! We are primarily traveling on the money we saved up before quitting our jobs. Myles did do some contract work when we were back home in the states last year doing our road trip. Otherwise it's 99% from savings. We make a little bit from UA-cam ad revenue, but we're talking about $150 a month with a channel our size... so not enough to sustain anything.. 😂
Great video. We are planning a trip to that part of Idaho. Please tell me where you stayed. You say it was very convenient to lots of attractions. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! We stayed at the Lower Stanley Country Store and Cabins. Cabins were pretty basic but it was right on the river which was awesome! Honestly any of the places in Stanley would be conveniently located because it is so close to the Sawtooth Mountains! You can't go wrong! Enjoy your trip!!
WEAR A PFD!!! Great video but wear a personal floatation device or Pfd. Honestly, only inexperienced newbs paddle without one. You fall, you float, and one could save your life. Plus it sets a bad example for your watchers.
No we're not I moved here three years ago and everyone I've encountered has been so friendly it reminds me of what southern California was like in the 1960s
At the time we were using the DJI Mavik Air: amzn.to/38r5kH7 but it has since been crashed and lays to rest on a cliff in Montenegro 😩😩. BUT we have upgraded to the Mavic Air 2 and I have to say, it's a little bigger and heavier but worth it. The overall quality is amazing!
Not sure where you actually got the footage for the video 🤔 I have been stuck in this state since 1966 and there is nothing but dried up Potato Fields and Sagebrush. Stanley is a Mobile Home community and nothing worth the trip to see.
No, I don't think that's possible.. we just got up really early and were there around sunrise. ☺️ There were definitely more groups showing up by 8/9AM.
Haha honestly I cannot say for sure. But I was pretty worried about bears everywhere we went hiking out west and we always carried bear spray with us :)
It is Absolutely true 👍 Bears and Moutain Lions are the most common animal to worry about. And I wouldn't put it past a pack of Wolfs to attack humans either. And depending on the time of year people need to be careful if they encounter a Moose 👌
That is one amazing video! Thank you so much for posting this. We are thrilled you both had an amazing time here in this beautiful part of the country! Come back soon, and stop by the office to introduce yourselves! We thrive to make everyone's stay enjoyable!!! Please feel free to post this video and visit our Facebook as well. Thanks again and KUDOS!!! facebook.com/StanleyIdaho/
What part of Idaho do you live in? Seems like Stanley is always at least in the weather forecast during the winter. Only few people actually live there in the winter because of the extreme cold and snow. We have camped there in August and it was 28°F at night 🥶
Buy bear spray, it is not just for Antifa rallies. Idaho is beautiful because it is wilderness. I live in the Panhandle where it is rare not to see piles of bear scat on just about every trail. We have so many predators that I automatically get bear, wolf, and mountain lion tags with the purchase of my Sportsman hunting license. This trail in Stanley is well groomed, but don't be fooled because the sides of trails are where predators ambush hunt from. If you are not slightly nervous on a hike in Idaho, you have the wrong mindset and should go to a park instead. If you see the carcasses of full grown 1100 lbs bull elk killed by wolves around here you would understand. Be prepared, this is not a controlled environment and you must have the ability to defend yourself and your loved ones. Bear spray can stop, wolves, bears, lions, maybe a moose, dogs, and humans. Oh yeah a moose may be the most dangerous animal you can encounter in the wild, I have been charged twice for making the mistake of looking at them. I hope those who visit our great state enjoy the beauty, the great peoples of Idaho, respect the environment by being prepared and packing out trash, even if it's not yours.

Oh, my brother in law's name Stanley, he is a successful business men! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!

"There was no rain in the forecast, but it is going to thunder and rain"
Yup that's Idaho. Give it 5 minutes the weather will change
😂😂
LOL the sadness of not having dinner at 3:30 and having also left it in the car. You guys crack me up.
LOL!! ☺️😂 Thanks for watching!
I noticed the mountains were smoky. I was there last year and it was smoky as well, but when the skies are clear. Man that place is amazing!

It's fun to see you tour Idaho. I'm born and raised here. GOD Bless!
Thanks so much for watching! You are lucky to live in a state with so much beauty!
You guys are a very nice couple..keep up the good work,excellent editing
Thank you, we really appreciate the kind and encouraging words!! ☺️😍
I love seeing others discover my beautiful state but I’m also kinda bummed we aren’t the best kept secret anymore. Idaho sucks tell your friends ;).
I can definitely understand why you guys would want to keep it a secret!
Funny to hear it!
Coffee and hot springs! Nice!
😍☺️😍
You two are so lovely. I miss my Idaho home. Glad you guys had good time.
Thank you so much for the kind words and thanks for watching! 🥰

Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!! ☺️☺️
Thanks for this and other videos. Amazing trips. We are hoping to go do some of the same things soon.
Thanks so much for watching!
The best place you have never heard of is Ojai Ca. best place to visit or live, been here 35 years, still great
Just down hwy 33 snuggled along the Pacific in Ventura here! And I grew up in Stanley and Challis... my family homesteaded much of Stanley and Challis. Its gorgeous for sure! But not much compares to this part of So. Cal for year round loving and living!

I recommend to go to sheep lake it is by rigins Idaho and has tons of mountain goats
STOP ADVERTISING IDAHO!!!!!!!
I second this.
Weird
I live in Utah, and it's been a nightmare since Covid and these influencers are trying to be cool. I feel like the mountain states should prioritize their residents over tourists who don't pay taxes nor appreciate it.
Very professionally done
Thank you so much!
Wow
Thanks for watching!
This new sub is lovnit!! You had me with IDAHO,,,,
Yayy so happy you found us, thanks so watching and subscribing!
Sandpoint,ID is my hometown. You guys should go there. A must place to visit!
Thanks for the reccomendation on Sandpoint, we definitely hope to make it back one day! ☺️
Stanley and redfish lake is sooooo pretty.
It really is so beautiful there!!
I want to go back sooooooo bad!
@@stormyaviation5734 LOL me too! Where do you live?
Waypoint of View, not gonna say for security sakes, I doubt that you are a bad person but It’s just for security sakes sorry.
Great video.
@@stormyaviation5734 Haha no worries, didn't really think of it that way when I asked but makes sense..
so beautiful and I think this is very underrated channel, I wish u beautiful couple the best success and health
Thank you so much, that means so much to us!! 😍
heaven on earth to me
Couldn't agree more! We really hope to go back one day!!

National Parks in USA are amazing
They really really are!!
I love how in the 'Land of the Free', you need a permit to hike the trail??
You are in the Frank Church Wilderness. It is one of the largest designated wilderness areas in the US.
Thanks so much for the info!
Close, but the frank church river of no return wilderness is north of Stanley.
Idaho is my home state!
Really?! Idaho is amazing.. we loved it there!
@@WaypointofView yes it really is a hidden secret …
Absolutely Beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much!! 😍
You guys are FUN! New subscriber!
Yayyy thanks so much, we are so happy to hear that!! ☺️😍🤗
Too bad you only had 3 days. I just got back from a week in Stanley and still feel like there was more I wanted to do!
I know, we felt the same way.. so much to do and not enough time!!
Actually I have heard of 'Stanley Idaho'! My Name Gary 'Stanley'! Nice video Too!
Gary, so glad you enjoyed our video! Does your family happen to be the namesake of Stanley, Idaho?! ☺️☺️
@@WaypointofView No Sorry But I am so Interested in that Area! I am a retired Professional Nature Photographer, and I found this are so interesting!

First hand experience? Hah, you are Idahoan
@@jaz0485 shush
I agree. It is ugly, boring, and the people are not friendly at all.
No rain in the forecast? Welcome to Idaho :) hahaha
😂😂😂

Craters of the moon is a national park in Idaho think there are a few more they might not be a Yellowstone or a Yosemite but they are a national park
It's actually Craters of the Moon National Monument.
That looks like a lot of work
☺️
Just stumble on your channel. Love your content. What camera do you use for filming your videos?
Thanks so much, so glad you found us! We use the Fuji XT3.. amzn.to/3ow4n62 ☺️☺️
Great video. We are planning a trip to that part of Idaho. Please tell me where you stayed. You say it was very convenient to lots of attractions. Thank you.

This is why I live in Idaho.
It’s an amazing place for sure!!
Check out Hobo Cedar Grove if you ever make it to Northern Idaho.
Thanks so much for the rec!
WEAR A PFD!!! Great video but wear a personal floatation device or Pfd. Honestly, only inexperienced newbs paddle without one. You fall, you float, and one could save your life. Plus it sets a bad example for your watchers.
Glad you liked our video, and we definitely appreciate the feedback on PFDs.
Redfish is pretty but the amount of people that haven’t been able to be rescued from under the water... creeps me out whenever I go
😳😳😳
There is definitely a Nessy Creature in the Lake.
Content and narration is very similar to kara and nate!
Silly question, do you carry any kind of protection with you on your hikes in case you come across a bear/ bobcat ?
Not a silly question at all.. I am terrified of bears when hiking and camping… yes we carry bear spray!! ☺️
Idaho is nice but the people are so mean! 😉
No we're not I moved here three years ago and everyone I've encountered has been so friendly it reminds me of what southern California was like in the 1960s
What drone are you using?
At the time we were using the DJI Mavik Air: amzn.to/38r5kH7 but it has since been crashed and lays to rest on a cliff in Montenegro 😩😩. BUT we have upgraded to the Mavic Air 2 and I have to say, it's a little bigger and heavier but worth it. The overall quality is amazing!
shh! Don't tell anyone the town is getting ruined!
No life jackets when kayaking?
Not sure where you actually got the footage for the video 🤔
I have been stuck in this state since 1966 and there is nothing but dried up Potato Fields and Sagebrush.
Stanley is a Mobile Home community and nothing worth the trip to see.
☺️☺️😂😂
Did you have to book the hot springs? How did you get them to yourselves?
No, I don't think that's possible.. we just got up really early and were there around sunrise. ☺️ There were definitely more groups showing up by 8/9AM.
These Hot Springs are not privately owned. They are on BLM or National Forest/Public Lands.
I heard Grizzly bears were in Idaho on trails? Is this true?
Haha honestly I cannot say for sure. But I was pretty worried about bears everywhere we went hiking out west and we always carried bear spray with us :)
@@WaypointofView Ok dude continue to be safe
It is Absolutely true 👍
Bears and Moutain Lions are the most common animal to worry about.
And I wouldn't put it past a pack of Wolfs to attack humans either.
And depending on the time of year people need to be careful if they encounter a Moose 👌
@@jamesglenn520
Wow so if one goes out it’s safe to say they better be armed and proficient with said firearm.
@@eomyenom1 Absolutely have something to protect yourself with and a good idea to Never venture very far alone.
A permit to hike? I’ve never heard of that. How many times have you had to fill out a permit?
Yep! It was required for a lot of the hikes we did! It was easy though, just a matter of filling it out at the trailhead. ☺️
Registering is for your safety so if you get lost or injured they know where to look for you.
How much were those snglasses?
Haha... which pair?
That is one amazing video! Thank you so much for posting this. We are thrilled you both had an amazing time here in this beautiful part of the country! Come back soon, and stop by the office to introduce yourselves!

Isn't love fun!
It sure is!! 😍😍
Why have i lived here for 15 years and never knew about any of this??
☺️ Thanks for watching!
What part of Idaho do you live in?
Seems like Stanley is always at least in the weather forecast during the winter.
Only few people actually live there in the winter because of the extreme cold and snow.
We have camped there in August and it was 28°F at night 🥶
Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone else about Idaho
☺️🤫☺️
Idaho? I think there's just potatoes there. Check out California. California is where it's at.
😂☺️😂
Third generation Californian here and moved to Idaho three years ago this is heaven and my beloved California is now hovering below curb level , pity
Buy bear spray, it is not just for Antifa rallies. Idaho is beautiful because it is wilderness. I live in the Panhandle where it is rare not to see piles of bear scat on just about every trail.

If you love Idaho, keep it a secret and delete this
Can you please in your video stop do it all selfie’s focus on showing us not mostly selfie’s thanks
Your Babbling comment makes Absolutely no sense at all 😬
Maybe Spellchecker could help you out 👍
I don’t mind if people visit idaho just pls don’t move here
