  • In this video we are out in the beautiful Gifford Pinchot National Forest exploring possible campsites. We travel 2000 feet up a mountain, find many great places, get spooked out at the top from noises in the forest, then find a great campsite near a beautiful waterfall!! Then we get some drinks going, make pizzas on the campstove, and enjoy the night by our ragging fire. We hope you enjoy this exploring, spooky, yummy adventure!!

    Liking the format almost subscribed at the drone footage to start, couldn't resist after talking about being good campsite stewards! Awesome video & showing off the GPNF!

    Endless dead ends, roads with downed trees and some areas where the road is simply gone from Slides.

    I live in White Salmon and have spent years in GPNF. You ever explore the big lava bed and see the crater? It’s pretty cool

      I think Washington State is Sasquatch country. I'm from Tacoma. Last summer I camped at Olympic National Forest. At 2am, I woke up from a deep sleep from branches breaking around me. It went on for 5 minutes or so. I told the forest ranger about my weird experiences. He just dismissed me and told not worry about it. It's probably a deer. What kind of forest noises did you hear at the Gifford National Forest?

    • @ourpnwadventures
      @ourpnwadventures  8 місяців тому

      Oh man that's a crazy experience!! We eould of been freaked out big time!! They are definitely up in the Olympics and can't wait to camp up there. Actually where we have camped in the Giff, it is dead quiet at night. Nothing. But always ready and keeping our ears open. Thanks for the comment!! 👣

    Nice video! Great editing! And this scenery is incredible. How far up the road were sites 3-5? I’m into the whole Bigfoot thing. Also, what month was this?

    • @ourpnwadventures
      @ourpnwadventures  4 місяці тому

      Hey! The road is about 4 miles so site 3-5 is about at the top - 3-4 miles up. We were there June 9th. We camped there in October and had no experiences.

    • @ourpnwadventures
      @ourpnwadventures  4 місяці тому

      That area is right between Mt Adam's & Mt St Helen's. On a road called NF-90. Campsite #2 is off and up on a mountain rd (9085) & the waterfall campsite is called Twin Falls Campground right off the 90. Shhhhh don't tell anyone else. Lol

      It's called Twin Falls Campground. About 10 or 15 miles past the Lower Lewis Falls on the Lewis River.
