Historic Hike On The Santiam Wagon Road

On December 31, 2017 my brother and I went to Lower Soda Creek Falls and then also hiked part of the Santiam Wagon Road nearby. This area is absolutely gorgeous and not popular at all during the winter. We didn't see any other hikers the entire day!

I don’t know what it is about waterfalls, but I love them so much! These trails are so beautiful & the history is really cool.

How is it even possible to be that GREEN, cool falls and wagon trail history

[@kwacked1]

azcolby40, western Oregon! It is even more green in late spring when the leaves on the undergrowth fill in.

[@lowbudgetoutdoorsman8415]

looks like you timed your waterfall visit perfectly.... I made that hike once in the summer time which was a mistake... it was just a trickle instead of a waterfall.... was pretty disappointed... will definitely do a winter hike next time.... thanks

[@Boodieman72]

Such wonderful scenery, as always, thanks for the video.

[@timberg7377]

Fun as always; the waterfalls were beautiful

People forget before we had a highway system Oregon had wagon roads and trails for people and livestock to move around. I have enjoyed finding a few of these on our travels. My great grand father was a teamster and drove wagons on these roads. I use paper maps to find old wagon roads, military roads and early trails. Have you ever considered putting GPS co-ordinates for your trail heads? So many people travel today following their GPS units. I have found that the combination of GPS and paper maps make travel go smoother. I now get lost less frequently.

Loved the history as much as the beautiful scenery... Thanks for sharing... your brothers hiccups were hilarious... May 4,5,6 I'll be camping near Lake Hemet Ca. We (ECV) will erect a historical monument to the DE Anza Trail at the Hamilton Museum in Anza. I'll post after the trip.

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

Gorgeous hikes love the music you put in your videos! looks like little Brother had the hiccups LOL. My daughters are usually sabotaging my videos with burping and other loud sounds.

[@exodusfromearth6883]

Like the video and hate to ask but is that the same area where Rachanda Pickle was missing?

[@HikeOregon]

No. I looked up her story and it looks like that happened near Santiam Junction. I guess it’s not too far up the road but I wouldn’t call it the same area.

I know i say this all the time. but I really enjoy you video posts. that waterfall was amazing. and the trail was very cool. I cant wait to see your next video. I was also wondering if you ever thought about getting merchandise for your channel. like shirts or stickers or patches with your hike Oregon logo??

[@HikeOregon]

I have shirts, stickers and pins available on the website. Www.Hikeoregon.Net
