A family Outing at Sweet Creek Falls, Oregon

[@TrailriderLC]

Beautiful waterfalls and cute as you can get daughter (I know she's older now) . Great day out for the whole family! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks for checking this out. The comment made me re-watch this and melt at that little cutie.

[@brookeshaffer4377]

Such a pretty video Matt✨Ella is so adorable.What fun adventures she is having🌟

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. She is doing it right so far. Hoping to do more backpacking soon.

[@JEDiTV]

Beautiful scenery Matt, looks like a great hike with the family! Thanks for sharing.

[@MattCookOregon]

General Kenobi! Thanks Jedi!

[@oregonruraloutdoors3437]

What a great Video! Really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you! It was an easy one to put together which is always nice.

[@nancyhines5942]

Thank you for a beautiful walk. It must be very satisfying to share this beautiful and special place with your wife and daughter. Lucky ladies.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Nancy! It is always a blast. She keeps improving and before we know it she will be going up a mountain!

[@chezbignw5033]

🌲Nice 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤙🏼

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much!

[@robbergstrom943]

Thanks for sharing that beautiful outing. There is nothing more calming than a river and waterfalls.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Rob. A waterfall hike is definitely the thing here in Oregon. Life is very calming with the little one around. WOOF

[@JRMVlogsChannel]

This looks like a very nice trail, great for family with little kids. Beautiful view of the waterfall.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks JRM. I like a mix of family friendly and extreme things.

[@VegaVenturing]

Great video! Really like seeing you take out the family. And it's awesome to see areas we've never visited before. Thanks for sharing!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you Vega. This is a funny little family one. The drive off highway might take longer than the hike.

[@bobbimorris1819]

That’s the Oregon I love! Your family is beautiful! Thank You for sharing this great time.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Bobbi. I do often think of mossy forests when picturing our state. Though really most of it is desert!

[@andrzejgrocholski2084]

Dla mnie Bomba !!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks!

[@darnold87]

Very nice Matt! I've got this one on my list and your video has pushed me to make it a priority! 👍

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. It is a nice short one but there are a couple extra trails there I missed.

[@sharonwhiteley6510]

Beautiful waterfalls. So glad you include safely tips and hiking issues. Better yet, are the Beautiful family memories being made. That's priceless.

[@MattCookOregon]

Safety always! Some people could use the constant reminder. Family memories are being made much more than videos these days. Not great for my youtube but oh well we are having fun.

[@TheWorldAccordingtoJim]

Beautiful. Your adventures always take my breath away. Appreciate the knowledge you bring us and the locations of these wonderful places.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Jim! I liked how easy this one was to do. Some are much more effort than others.

[@Yjybjyjh]

Thanks for this. I may actually be able to traverse this wee hike.

[@MattCookOregon]

Absolutely. This is one of those friendly to all kind of hikes. A couple ground spots with rocks and roots that some would have trouble on.

[@SweetLifeAdventures]

Glad we were able to find each others channels. Great video, really enjoyed it. Keep up the great work!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much! I am a bit slow with videos but will keep going.

[@toandfro2377]

That new camera is amazing!!!!! Nice job and I appreciate your hard work!!!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. I am loving it. Nice to have a good subject to record too.

[@csh727]

A friend of mine and my little aussie hiked Sweet Creek in August 2020, and shortly after that there was a fire in that area. Good to see the creek is still very beautiful. There is also a trail upstream of Sweet Creek falls, and you can hike down to the falls on the other side of the creek, along the sandstone cliffs of the Tyee Formation. Not for toddlers though.

[@MattCookOregon]

That's cool there is more. I often miss coast range things because we all usually just drive through it to reach a destination.

[@kenwin5845]

The low coast mountains of Washington and Oregon are fantastic. I really enjoy wandering around in them. This video shows what I really like. Getting older I like the easier hikes. The coastal rain forests are beautiful and it is great to see you enjoying them with your family. As always an enjoyable video, thanks Matt.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Ken. Wet forests are what most of us think when imagining Oregon nature. The coast range could provide endless videos for me. I like to keep a variety but I will be back at some point.

[@kenwin5845]

@@MattCookOregon To me Oregon is a rugged coast and a great high desert for rockhounding. Starting to learn more of about the moist coast. I am from true temperate rain forest country

[@iseewood]

You’re channel always exemplifies the best of the state. It’s beauty and serenity.

[@MattCookOregon]

Wow thanks Clinton. I am definitely inspired by this land.

[@rideoregonfirst]

Your daughter is gonna be the only girl in her school to have actually experienced Oregon. All other kids just experience cities and smart phones. She's gonna have a leg up any ladder ahead of them! This is fun to watch today while spinning old albums on my turntable.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. That is the plan! Hoping to take her up a mountain as soon as possible. Though she does love a couple disney movies.

[@wildzenventures]

Really beautiful scenery and you have a sweet family! I have never been to this area but it looks like a great place to explore. Happy trails!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you! They are so sweet I thought I would take them to a sweet place.

[@letsmakeamesstoday]

I love it but the hike is so short!

[@MattCookOregon]

True! Though the 1 year old thought it was a perfect length.

[@mightymouse3377]

Great spot, especially in the summer when many areas in the Cascades are covered with smoke. The water level is much higher this time of year than when I went!

[@MattCookOregon]

Yeah we can always count on escaping to the coast.

[@Sagina1999]

Sweet!

[@MattCookOregon]

I see what you did there!

[@northcoastoutdoorchannel]

Beautiful waterfalls and footage! I love the shots of the sun shining through the moss! I have never visited, I will have to check out this area!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you! 80% of this was cell phone footage too. New profile pic?

[@northcoastoutdoorchannel]

@@MattCookOregon Looks great for a phone! Yeah, I decided to change up the profile pic for the new year!

[@conniewojahn6445]

Nice trip, thank you. I didn't realize the Coast Range was so beautiful. Parts I've seen are damp and mossy, kind of dreary.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Lots of good forest land there. Lots of it would be too difficult to harvest so they have some very old forests. Devils Staircase is another real nice area out there.

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

Nice video of this amazing place. Going to have to take the wife out to do this one soon. Glad to see you taking your daughter out as well I raised both of mine hiking as well.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks pnw. Hiking is the way to go. I was hoping to do more backpacking with my girl but we will get on that soon.

[@Zoomdak]

What a sweet little adventure with you family. So darling. The lighting at 4:32 and 4:39 is so freaking good! I was expecting a drone when you said “Upper Viewpoint” and then there was a sign literally saying that, ha ha!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Zoomdak. I am a big fan of sunlight moss too. Most of this was recorded on a phone.

[@MrDarkSide]

Yoooo. good stuff as always. QUESTION

[@MattCookOregon]

Whats the question brah?

[@MrDarkSide]

@@MattCookOregon I was just curious if I could use a 10-20 second clip of your devils churn video. I tell stories in detail and I'm telling the one you mentioned!! Please don't be afraid to say absolutely not🖤 Much love, keep up your great work brother

[@MattCookOregon]

If I am mentioned when the footage shows and linked to in the video description, sure!

[@MrDarkSide]

@@MattCookOregon I can mention you in the intro and have you linked in the description! That work?

[@MattCookOregon]

@@MrDarkSide Thats fine. Give me a shout when its out.

[@shopgirl_ny152]

Gorgeous scenery. Made me feel as though I were there and definitely made me want to be there. Thanks!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much! I like that this is a very accessible hike for all.

[@gannibootis]

I'm sorry but I think some of the shots of your little girl have to be more serious contenders for the "best shot of the day" title. It's kind of cool seeing the children of youtube content providers grow up as time passes. Keep cranking these videos out and thanks for sharing this little hike.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you! That is true, I am not used to filming people. Hopefully she will star in a mountain climbing video someday.

[@softroadingthewest]

Warning: Matt Cook videos like this one carry the risk of inspiring non-hikers like me to lace up the boots and hit some trails. Viewer discretion is advised.

[@MattCookOregon]

Say it really fast as the start of my videos lmao
