@@EmmasNatureEscapes Thank you. I appreciate it. It was such a great day out. It was awesome to get such good footage. Can't wait to check out more of the coast next year.

@@patrickw123 It was definitely a great day out and perfect for some drone footage. I've done a bunch of hikes in and near Red Rock in the past just never filmed it. My next video will be Valley of Fire State Park which was my first time there. Absolutely loved it. Will definitely go back there next time I visit Vegas. Thanks for checking out the video.

@ when you return check out more of the Valley of Fire, the more hidden but easily accessible Bowl of Fire in the Lake Mead National Rec Area, the Hidden Forest in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge, and the Amargosa Dunes!

@@patrickw123 Noted. Thanks for the tips. I love the less trafficked and hidden trails.

Thanks. I'm glad I brought my drone with me.

Glad the video was able to provide that. It's a beautiful area.

@ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lol. I had to get some hiking in and it was a nice change of scenery. Maybe if I said I was in eastern Oregon I could have gotten away with it.

@@KhurshidsChannel Thanks. I'm glad I was able to get great drone footage. It's a beautiful area. Thanks for watching.

@@vs123 Yes it is. Beautiful area. I had a lot of fun exploring the area and got some great drone footage.

@@angieroyall1516 Most of my music is pretty chill. I was trying something a bit different in this video. Thanks for the feedback.

@@angieroyall1516 Thank you. I had a lot of fun on that one. One of my favorite forests to hike through.

@@stevecopenhaver6152 I was so glad to have such great weather. The drone is one of the best investments I've made. Love that thing. Thanks for watching.

@@waterfallmadman Cannon Beach is typically on lists for top beaches in the U.S. The other beaches like Crescent and Indian are just as nice. I was so glad I got great drone footage on such a beautiful day.

@@deborahfraser9325 Thank you. I had a blast on that trail. Can't wait to do it again. Glad you enjoyed just some of the highlights that I put in the video.

Thanks for checking out the video.

I love the PNW coast. I'm glad it was such a beautiful day out and I was able to get great drone footage. Thanks for watching.

I love that I live in a place that has beaches.

Appreciate the love. Unfortunately I couldn't get the drone footage I wanted because of the severe high winds but I'll have future videos with incredible footage you just can't get on a hike without one. Thanks for watching.

@ Yes sir it’s a thing I struggle with in my flights for sure! ❤️❤️❤️

@@TrailStrider909 I'll be more careful from now on. Not worth the risk.

Thank you. The panic that sets in when the high wind alert goes off is not fun. Once it goes down its over. It was quite windy that day but I really wanted to get some shots, especially since I carried it the whole way. But sometimes its just not worth risking it. At least I got some footage but I won't make that mistake again. I'll have more videos with incredible drone footage that you just can't capture on a hike without one. Stay tuned. As always, thanks for watching.

That was a perfect spot to take a break. It was so windy out that it was actually hard for me to keep my camera steady in my hand. But I'm happy with the shots I got. I got a bit greedy with the drone though. I carried it the entire way and wanted some shots but when the high wind alert went off the panic that sets in is not fun. I won't make that mistake again. There is no second chance once it goes down unless it's close to you. At least I got some good footage. Overall, it was a great hike.

Thanks for the kind words. I do my best to put out a great video. It's a lot of work as you know. More of my videos will have drone footage so I hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching and the like.

@@Beertownbill Yes, that's true. I did see a bunch of trail runners along the trail. That's quite a feat.

More than a dozen times? That is awesome. I bet every time feels just as awesome as the first go-around. I camped in-between Ramona and Muddy Fork first night close to the creek. Cloud Cap was cool because you got the picnic tables. That's definitely a nice spot after Newton creek. Do you prefer CW or CCW?

@@Zoomdak Thank you for the kind words. I'm happy I was able to get some nice shots as the sun was setting. I'll have a video on Cannon Beach soon and the shots I got were amazing. The Oregon Coast is awesome.

@@LeafEater607 That's great. You're gonna love it here. I've hiked alone all over the PNW and it is very safe. Never had a problem or scary story to tell. No sasquatch sightings either.

@@PacificNWHiker What about wild life? Snakes etc? What do you do if you break your leg or something?

@@LeafEater607 I would either make some friends who like to hike or if you really want to hike alone I would start off doing some popular trails that are moderately to heavily trafficked. This way if anything happens there will be other hikers to help out. Then when you get more confident you can start doing trails less busy. Another option is to get a Garmin inReach which enables you to send messages SOS alerts, and location tracking via satellite. Yes, there are snakes, but they are central and eastern Oregon/Washington where it is more desert-like. Other than that, I have personally never come across other dangerous wildlife.

@@PacificNWHiker Thank You so much for this vital information. The Garmin tip is literally a lifesaver. I appreciate you.

Thank you. Wish it wasn't so hazy out but it is what it is. Those are some of my favorite shots to do. Moss is awesome. I'll have a video on Cannon Beach soon and the drone views I got were amazing. It was a clear day with no haze. Thanks for watching.

@@TravelHungryForLife Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@waterfallmadman Yeah there were some trees with lots of exposed roots which made them interesting. I'm glad I was able to get some good drone shots as the sun was setting. I'll have a video on Cannon Beach coming soon. Spoiler alert: even better drone shots.

@@vs123 There is definitely some good surfing here.

@@vs123 Me too.

@@pyronymph-868 No I did not. I did this hike about a month ago. I didn't hear much about this earthquake. Were you affected by it?

Sweet!…love all the close ups of mosses and fungi-some very interesting looking berries that I can’t identify as well as beautiful,expansive views of the coast… thanks for sharing another great hike.

@stevecopenhaver6152 Thank you. Those close up shots are some of my favorites to do. Moss is awesome. I wish it wasn't hazy out during my hike but it was better later in the day and I was able to get nice shots with the drone. I'll have another video on the coast with clear skies and no haze. Stay tuned.

@@tyronesmith3812 Haven't. Looks cool but can be dangerous. Not sure if I will.

@@federatedgroup Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Yes. It was this trail where the 15 year-old brat playing with fireworks started the fire. Judge gave no punishment except to write an apology letter. Fire jumped the river into Washington which is crazy. Trail was closed for years. I'm happy the trail was able to reopen. It is amazing. Thanks for watching.

@@Pinoy4Trump An awesome playground it is. I had a blast on that trail and looking forward to doing it many times over. Thanks for watching.

@@PacificNWHiker I suggest three sisters loop it's quiet amazing also and summit south sister while your at it. Great stuff!

@@Pinoy4Trump Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely put that on my list. Looks like an awesome backpacking trip.

@@PacificNWHiker You will never regret it, especially meeting hikers from walk of life hiking the PCT SB and NB. bring extra food or anything to be that angel on the PCT trail man. Good Luck to you and God Blessed!

One more thing PCT hikers hangout at (Matthew's Lake) hehehehehe

@@crismccoy6513 Glad you liked the video. You don't need a permit at all which is really nice. It can be a very crowded trail during the weekend. Highly recommend you go during weekday just to avoid the crowds and easier parking as well. I went early September. Some waterfalls aren't flowing full strength but they are still flowing. One of the best trails in the PNW for sure. Thanks for watching.

@@PacificNWHiker Thank you so much for the info!

@@crismccoy6513 No problem. Enjoy the hike.

@@Zoomdak Thanks for the compliment. It's such an amazing trail. I had a blast. Tunnel Falls was definitely the highlight. Some of the other Falls like Twister Falls weren't flowing at full strength so they are even more spectacular later in the season. Highly recommend you do this one. Thanks for watching.

I didn't get to do much hiking, but I went to Multnomah Falls in July 2018, right after it opened back up after the fire. We had great timing a few days earlier, and we'd have missed it like we missed other waterfalls that were on a road still closed. It's disgusting that someone would do such an act of terror on wildlife and people. I know people were trapped on some of those trails 👣 when the fire broke out. I'm so glad that the brat got caught. A lot of people's once in a lifetime trip was ruined. We stayed by the Bridge of the God's ❤. It's beautiful 😍 there.

@@ConnieHatch-zl9fp Yep, a bunch of trails along the Gorge were closed. I moved to the PNW in 2020 and some trails were just reopening. 2018 was not a good time for people wanting to hike along the Gorge. I agree, it is awful what happened to the wildlife, forest, and hikers. The punishment was pathetic by the judge. Bridge of the Gods is iconic. Cascade Locks is great. A lot of good trails there.

@@waterfallmadman It's such an amazing trail. You just don't get that anywhere else. After years I finally got to it. So happy. Yes, lots of devastation from the 2017 fire. But without the burn marks on the trees you wouldn't know. I figured if I was gonna do that hike and camp might as well go all the way. Glad I did. Thanks for watching the video.

@@TrailStrider909 The entire trail was awesome. I wouldn't use a title for click-bait and I knew this trail would live up to it. I had a blast making this video. Thanks for checking it out. Glad you liked it.

@@PacificNWHiker Sure thing! That was something that piped out thumbnail then delivery! Very nice!

@@gmurad1807 An amazing trail. Such a gem.

@@vs123 For sure. One of the best trails I've done. Super beautiful and fun. Thanks for watching

@@digitalSixer Definitely do this trail. Trail is very rocky and the second half is all uphill but so worth it with all the waterfalls, the creek, and lake. One of my favorite trails. Enjoy it.

The trail is beautiful and there are only some sections overlooking the forest that you can see were damaged by fire. But luckily this trail is not near the Gorge where the 2017 fire was devastating. I'll be releasing a video on the Eagle Creek Trail soon where the 2017 fire started. Trail looks great and still super beautiful. Highly recommend you do the Timberline. There's a reason it's a bucket list hike. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. It's totally different. I prefer the lush forests with waterfalls but it is nice every once in a while to hike something different.

From I-5 there are two routes you can take (22 E or 20 E) to see Sahalie and Koosah Falls. I can recommend two other waterfalls with short easy hikes to see on the way to Sahalie and Koosah to help break things up a bit. The first is Shellburg Falls in the Santiam State Forest. This is about halfway. Take I-5 to route 22 E for about 20 miles. Then you go north off of 22 E for a few miles. You can search Shellburg Falls campground and the trailhead is there. The trail is only 1.5 miles. After Shellburg Falls you just continue on route 22 E to 126 S to Sahalie and Koosah. The second option is Lower Soda Creek Falls. Take I-5 to route 20 E and head to Cascadia State Park near Sweet Home. This trail is also very short 1.4 miles. Beautiful trail but beware the Falls may be a trickle this time of year so it depends on when you plan on going to Sahalie and Koosah. Beautiful waterfall if you go during rainy season. I think I have a video on this one. This waterfall is a bit closer to Sahalie and Koosah, maybe about 2/3 of the way. You just continue on 20 E to 126 S to the other Falls. Hope this helps. These are the two best options I can think of for something short and easy on the way.

@@Zoomdak Yes. Typical. I don't mind it but it's a pain when you're trying to film. Rainy season is on its way so I'm soaking up every bit of sun that I can. Thanks for watching.

@@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.
