ODT Day 43: Owyhee Canyonlands IX - Finish at Lake Owyhee (Oregon Desert Trail Thru Hike 2022 Vlog)

[@johnlyngdal8601]

Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed your travels to many places in Oregon that I visited over the past 50+ years. You truly captured the essence of Oregon and why I continue to call it home. This closing episode made my day.

Thanks Sam!

Thank you once again for sharing this incredible journey that few people will ever experience. Your last videos of the Owyhee were an awesome way to end this journey. I’ve got the are notes down for if I’m ever back in the US again. On the other hand: can’t help but wonder what the canyon might’ve looked like without the reservoir and feel a little sadness because of it. Looking forwards to your next adventures!

[@SeekingLost]

Thanks for watching! The end here at Lake Owyhee was excellent, and beautiful day for it! I always wonder that too, what some of these canyons would look like before they were dammed up. Lake Powell is interesting right now because it's dropped so much that many of the canyons that were underwater after it was dammed are now hikeable again, due to the water levels dropping. Fascinating.

Another awesome video series man. The Nevada Trail videos were so beautiful, same as this. I very much appreciate that you go to these not-often-traveled places like the Oregon Desert or the ranges of the Nevada Trail. Thank you for inspiring me to travel to such beautiful and (better yet) relatively unknown places. I spent a few days at Steen's Mountain and fell in love with SE Oregon. I agree with what you said in one video that Yosemite and the National Parks are great because they attract 99% of tourists.....leaving so many great places wild and unspoiled. Maybe I'll see you on the trail one day in some crazy place.....thank you again.

Woo hoo!

[@Twobarpsi]

What an incredible hike! I definitely have learned to appreciate the State of Oregon through these videos! I found your channel because of your original CDT hike, a few years ago. That was an incredible series of videos that I always enjoy. This Oregon hike was just as memorable! Congratulations on an incredible journey!

[@SeekingLost]

Thank you for watching, for all these years! Oregon has so much long distance hiking potential. Several new routes being created there, like the Blue Mountains Trail. It's a wild place.

[@ironpig701]

Congratulations. What an awesome trip. And such diversity is such a short span. Also you showed what hiking is truely about and how hikers are a different breed. The fact you found Heavy Teva and Donnie on trail and then you hiked together.

[@michaelsherwin282]

Excellent series. I watched many episodes more than once. I really appreciate all the time you put into filming... and all the extra miles it took to film yourself. And good editing too. Well done.

[@SeekingLost]

Thanks, Michael! This was perhaps my favorite hike series yet from an editing perspective, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@gordonweaver2970]

Congrats! And thankyou,enjoyed every mile!

[@SeekingLost]

Thank you, Gordon!

Thanks so much for watching!

[@reneepatrick4498]

Congrats! I loved your videos, thanks for taking folks along the ODT with you!

[@SeekingLost]

Thanks so much, Renee! and thank YOU, for all you do for the ODT!

[@dianesoini]

Congratulations to you both! I was thinking maybe I can just do a section in the Owyhee and then you had to go and climb a bunch of pour-offs and I'm too old, short and scared of that kind of stuff. I enjoyed this series. The ODT is really interesting.

[@SeekingLost]

The only pour offs I can remember were near the upper end of Painted Canyon. There are plenty of other great areas in the Owyhees to hike without the pour offs, too. Don't miss the Owyhees, any way you can experience them will be profound, I'm sure. Thanks for watching!

[@pintahalfmusic]

Fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole series!

[@SeekingLost]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!

[@vannemocilac274]

Aww man. I’m crying. Happy for you both! Your voice sounded like Augustus mc crae in lonesome dove.

[@SeekingLost]

It was definitely brutal, but also redefined my definition of "what's possible". The BRT left me with an immense sense of accomplishment, and the feeling that we can do anything if we put our mind to it!

[@Karen-dq8nw]

Great series!!!

[@SeekingLost]

Thank you!

[@gentryaustin]

Congrats dude. Beautiful day for a finish. You should do a video interview with Donnie. I bet he has an interesting story.

[@SeekingLost]

Thanks, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day at the finish line!

[@loganmcguire8317]

What kind of gaiters are those?

Dirty girl gaiters
