Any chance you could send me a link to the waldo mountain lookout loop? Do you come from shadow bay salmon creek to get to the trail head? Or the Jim weaver loop?
Thanks
As of 2021 you now need a permit to backpack in many of these areas and you may need to get your permit months in advance.
Great video and resource that holds up over time.
you should do guided tours. with your knowledge you can show ppl amazing 5hings they wouldnt see otherwise and prob make aome really good money bvb doing what you love.
Thank you for sharing this list!
Thank you very much! Could you please help? I want to have a one night backpacking trip in Oregon in this way: Day 1 – walk through the forest and camp at the ocean beach at night (is that allowed?), Day 2 – come back to my car:) Do you have any suggestions where I can do it?
Not sure how old this video is franziska I have been to probably 3/4 of these hikes I have come to the realization I think I am a summmit and lake junkie!
Well done, and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
Didnt know about ice cave at camp lake!
Nice list. I've only done about half of these but some of the others are on my to do list.
So many amazing choices! A mate and I will visit Oregon this December, flying in for it. Were both pretty fit, and we will have time for only 2 one night trips. Which would you recommend, given it will be December?
Great list! Do Russel lake on a full moon night and you can read a newspaper after dark by the light reflected of Mt Jeff.! thanks for sharing. Rockpile lake also has a great easy chair rock just over the ridge to the east, where you can watch the sunrise over all of eastern Oregon. thanks for sharing!
Your pay wall portal doesn't seem to be working. Is that patreon supported only now?
Love that cat tree. Can't wait for my trip through Oregon
Thank you SO much for posting this video. I only have a 2 day weekend at my job before i have to report back. I will have to check these out. They look perfect.
Thank you for the great video and info, these all look like amazing places to backpack! I'm really looking forward to getting up there and checking some of these out this year!
Twin lakes is open now can be accessed from opal creek side no issues and if you are coming from elk lake side burn has been cleared as of summer 2017!
Yeah. Waldo was only accessible by rutted dirt roads back then. Sure wish I had taken pictures. Growing up in Oregon made us so used to natural beauty I guess we took it for granted. Worked all over the Oregon Cascades and the Wallowa mountains back in the 60’s & 70’s. Then cleaned wilderness trails by horseback in 92. Was like a paid vacation for me. Did some binge watching of your vids today while recuperating from shoulder surgery. Sure enjoyed them. Bringing back great memories. Thanks!!!

Really appreciate the suggestions. Spent my life in the outdoors mostly in Oregon. At 70+, arthritis is a limiting factor but knowing about short trip ops inspire me to get back into the woods! BTW: I helped build the camps at Waldo Lake back in ‘66. It was so pristine you could drink right out of the lake with no need of filtration. Thanks again. An old man subbed! 👍
Beautiful places…when showing these places could you mention if they're dog friendly please? I'm in northern Cali and some trails/parks don't allow dogs here. I've tried calling some of these places but I only get machines (which I hate :). You don't have to go through any trouble but would be appreciated info. Thanks…love the videos. Stay safe…peace
Great job…kudos on picking some great examples of the beauty of Oregon.
Really beautiful trails! Looks like y'all have alot of hiking trails that are enjoyable to hike! Thank you for sharing!
Battle axe is a nice hike, Jefferson park is nice, sad to see Hunts cove burnt, when I did the trail that was I favorite place. I should stop now….O the memories…Thank you , thank you….
As of 2016, you now need a permit (purchased beforehand) to stay at the sites in Jefferson Park– FYI. Beautiful place up there!
Awesome! I'm a merchant mariner so the benefit of my job is when I'm off ship I have plenty of me time! This time I get off next week and think I'm driving to the Smokey National park for a week! 😊
Great information! Do you find that where you live in Oregon makes it easier to access a variety of hikes? For that matter, would there be a "best" town for a hiker to live in?
Great video. Are there any fees to camp on any of those hikes?
Great topic!
That is totally awesome.
WOW!!! great places. Is there a printable version of this list?
Do you have to have a permit to hike just pieces of the PCT?
Great views and ton of info on so many nice spots! Very special cat climbing tree. Very lucky kitties!
