County Road 20 on the Lake City side of Engineer is a hidden gem. I'm not sure how many have the opportunity to see it, but don't miss out. You don't see a lot of it, but it's well worth the drive. Camp Bird Road is spectacular, and should be on every bucket list!!

My wife and I took our JL Rubicons on this trail yesterday. The rock garden hill is much more intimidating in person than on any video that I saw leading up to our visit. Your video does a good job at showing the challenges of that section.

Used to come in from Marsing or Jordon Valley. Thank you for this!

Great Photography of a beautiful place! It's such Rugged Beauty and you captured it flawlessly & Brilliantly! Thank you so much!

The birds you are seeing is most likely Chukar Partridge, there is a bird hunting season in October thru November. My dad came to Leslie Gulch to hunt and camp in this area for the last 50 years.

I noticed the sagebrush as well as the junipers that you pointed out. Can you tell me if there is any Antlope Brush ( Greasewood ) in the area? I couldn't quite tell. Looks amazing, thanks for going and sharing.

The photography was nice. The music overshadowed your narration, and we were unable to understand roughly half of your 10-minute video.

Is engineer pass doable pulling an off-road style M416 camp trailer? A few years ago, we did cinnamon pass without an issue and I’m just wondering about engineer

Absolutely gorgeous . Thank you for this!

Music is WAY over the top - i did this drive in my CRV

Engineer Pass is a great trail! When I was out there, I wanted to hit Cinnamon Pass also, but unfortunately didn't have time. Maybe some day!

I hunted there in 2023. One of the most awesome places I've ever been!

Great views but the high pitched piano music hurts my ears. Can't do it.

Yes, very interesting geology there.

Music is way too loud.

Nice video. What time of the year was that ? I see you wearing hats and warm jackets- but looked like no crowds :)

Dang, you sure do know how to tell a great story. I really liked it, (except for the last 2 words, not a fan of hearing God's name cursed) liked that opening scene shot, and we have a blue healer too. cheers , lefty

Could you tell me what time of the year you were there? Really liked your camera angles and video. cheers, lefty

Nice ruts… why?

Dig it

Non-Oregonians, according to accent.

You edit for quality content. Great job.

Your production is over the top. Photography is excellent and the music is something else. Thanks for publishing the music titles.

That's nice trail^_^ Thanks for sharing video!!

Awesome!! At 4:41 minutes in there’s a “Rock Bird/Dove” 🕊️wings open bottom right-ish! Stunning Views, Many Thanks!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌎 (The drone footage and music was so epic... It brought tears to my eyes - good tears… ♥️) Love your dogs, what breed are they? I’ve been wanting to take a trip to this canyon for a while now, I live in Eastern Oregon… ✨

Excellent video., however, the music is louder than the narrative.

Very nice video of an area that can be hard to really appreciate. One recommendation from an old off- roader, is not to wrap your hand around the steering. If you hit something like a rock the violent twist of the wheel can break/dislocate your thumb.

Gosh I wish folks would stay off the back country roads when they are muddy. Maybe you got caught by surprise, but the drone footage of your campsite clearly shows the damage you left behind. Those tire tracks in the mud will dry and be there in the campsite all summer. Bummer.

2-1/2 decades ago, this was my children's first choice when asked where they wanted to go for the weekend camping. 29 square miles of lava flows. On our first trip, my boy came back from hiking all excited, DAD, DAD, I found a tropical cave! Even though I didn't believe it, he most certainly did. 10-years later we spelunked it and a few more of the coffee cup craters. At its end, we spent dozens of hours underground exploring awesome lave tubes. Thanks for sharing! Loved that area. Hiked Succor Creek from its beginning clear down to the campground, from your other video in that area. Ripped out the transaxle on my car up Succor creek and had to hitch-hike 7-hours back to Boise. Not all the memories were great....

That was awesome!

This is EXCELLENT. I became subscriber #100

Your video is absolutely stunning. Just beautiful. Thank you so much!!!

Wonderful video, beautiful country! Having lived in northern Nevada most of my life, I learned early the beauty of the desert and it’s mountains. Thank you.

Thanks!! Great photography, beautiful country!

Beautiful..was at Succor Creek in the 60s...road sure looks better in otherwise seems the same

An exotic area on to itself. It should be Oregon's second National Park. What most don't realize and geologists are still studying is... that the geology of the Oywhee area is the result of and related to the Yellowstone hot spot. Which started approximately 16+ _million years ago near McDermit, Nevada and then to the Oywhee area about 15-million years ago and moved over about 16+_-million years, to its present location in Yellowstone National Park. This series run of volcanism is similar to the Hawaiian chain of volcanoes. Snakes/Rattlers_ I grew up in rattler country and throughout my life have spent many days in the outback and have learned this. Use extreme caution along creeks, brush, shaded areas in the heat of the day, and walking about at night. Look down, to the side, and ahead and walk with a heavy footfall and slowly. They don't see very well but are attuned to vibrations. When free climbing check before you reach up for the next hold. I was surprised on morning when I pulled up face to face with a sunning rattler. I found another route up. i have been inches away from coiled rattlers defensive rattlers on the trail and never struck, but a friend was bitten in her garden. Rattlers can hang in the shade of a bush/brush to cool during the heat of the day and sun themselves in the morning on rock ledges. They don't have to be coiled to strike. On warm nights they can be about hunting. I shared a BLM campsite with one for three days in the Ochocos of Oregon. I discovered him(?) one morning when I put my boot up on a BLM camp stove to tie it up. He was under the grate and that is where he spent his nights. I always used a flashlight when returning to camp at night as i didn't want to be rude and step on him and I never used the campsite stove out of respect for him and his night shelter. And finally....Please don't kill them. PS! The best visual presentation of this strikingly beautiful area I have yet enjoyed... Two Thumbs way up.

Good video. A hiking staff will provide stability and if you use it to tap the ground, especially around bushes and clumps of grass, it will help you avoid a snake bite…I was wondering if an RV might work a little later when the gravel roads firm up?

Absolutely killer drone shots!

Thanks! The forestry service website has all of the closure information, so we definitely recommend checking that out before heading to the trails. We lucked out and got there a week before they closed the trails down for winter. Have fun if you get a chance to get out there!

Great video, great editing. Haven't explored that area of Uwharrie yet. Im surprised those roads were open. I know most of the off-road trails are closed that time of year, and I could be mistaken. Looked like a great experience, thanks for sharing

That was well done. You squeezed a lot out of that Mini 2 drone. We live in Montrose so this was an interesting video for me. Have only done parts of the trail. Thanks for sharing!😀👍

It's sad how they handled this. This used to be an awesome state park. Instead of partially draining it and retaining the park, they just drained it all and called it quits. With all the rain we had last year, I don't understand why it wasn't filled back up, at least in some capacity. Why not try to bring it back?

Loved it. I want to follow in your wheel tracks. Nicely put together.

Sorry....not listening to the wind

Awesome!👍😎🇨🇦🐾

Gonna have to get up with motorcycle. Do some offroad and camping/hiking.Thanks for the tip.Looks like a wonderful place.

Daughter and i are going mid may. Never been, but always looking for new places to rockhound, because rockhounding gets you to places like this. Thanks for posting

You are extremely talented filmmakers. Best of luck with the success of your channel. Roger from Spokane.

Thanks for sharing this spectacular geography! We have a Wrangler but the road you were on looks suitable for 2 wheel drive. Other videos I’ve seen show a much more difficult trail. Also, what month was your trip?

Terrific video. Thank you
