I grew up in Valsetz. Your video of the area is superb!

[@Hikingindepth]

Wow that's cool. I'd love to see some old photos or videos of the town when it existed. Have you come across anything?

[@Zoomdak]

Looks like an amazing area, I didn't even know of it. I appreciate you sharing the beauty of knowledge of the Valley of the Giants!

[@Hikingindepth]

Thanks for the kind words. It's a long drive out there for such a short hike, but driving through the clear cuts and then enjoying this ancient forest really makes you want to preserve what is still left.

On my to go to list. Nice video. The Oregon Coast Range is my favorite.

[@Hikingindepth]

Thanks Steve! The coast range is pretty great when you can get through all the thick brush! 😊

Thanks for watching!

The labels on the locales and flora was helpful too

[@Hikingindepth]

Great to hear. I try to add that stuff to give a little more context to the hikes.

Thanks for the wonderful video. I went up there a couple days ago after wanting to for a decade and getting lost once. No one should think it is just a walk in the forest.... Last five plus miles of road are terrible and not suitable for cars you revere. Pickups for sure. For those who are curious, my suggestions are. Check with BLM first. There are countless roads that are spurs. The latest map would be advisable because over the years bridges have been replaced and culverts added here and there. Take a walking stick and try to plan for dry weather. The trail has steep parts that will be slippery when wet. What a treat. never forget it. We even saw a barred owl

[@Hikingindepth]

Thanks for the update tips and for watching. I'm glad you had a great time and jealous you got to see an owl!

[@guaporeturns9472]

Redwood sorrel edible in small quantities… good as flavor/seasoning.

[@Hikingindepth]

Yup. I really only eat it as a trail snack to get a nice acidic flavor while drinking some water. 👍

[@guaporeturns9472]

@@Hikingindepth Yes , exactly what I do too. 🙂

[@AndrewNeisStunts]

Beautiful place! Great upload. The full length video is definitely better!

[@Hikingindepth]

Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you liked it!

That Alligator Lizard is a nice find. I've never seen one.

[@Hikingindepth]

I'm really bad at spotting reptiles. I was in Canyonlands recently and only saw 3 or 4 lizards and the place is loaded with them! So anytime I see one I get pretty excited.

[@guaporeturns9472]

It was missing its tail…they come off pretty easily. All over near Florence in the edge of the dunes under old logs and rocks
