@@rayworx I'm sorry you feel that way. These videos are mainly for my memories. If others can glean something from them that will help them plan their trips, that's awesome, and those that don't like them don't have to watch them. It doesn't hurt my feelings. We all have different tastes and interests.
Nice route. Don't worry about other comments. By all means each of us are learning how to improve movies etc. The best would be the perspective from the driver's compartment/room 😊 but to get there in... I think not's so easy😉 i like travels by train.
I walked there years ago and a tiny bear cub crossed the trail ahead of us, shortly followed by mother bear. She just glanced at us and continued on her way.
This is the base of an ancient tree... not from the processes of a volcano... look at the similarities between Devil's Tower and Toketee Falls in Oregon
Thank you. I'm far from a pro at this but I make these videos primarily to help me keep the memories alive and as the way to back them up so I don't lose them but if others enjoy them and can benefit from them then that is a definite plus.
Just in case you didn't know...This was a camp for troubled teens. Not great experiences there. Glad to see that school is no more, and it has gone to better use now. Anyhow, crazy to see it again...brings back lots of memories.
The drive in is beautiful, although part of the road is rough. I always see wildlife in this area. Other than pullouts and walking around the lake area, most of the must see sites require a hike. You can take a boat ride out on the lake as well, and there are horse back rides also available. It's a beautiful area.
We did see some younger children on the trail but honestly I wouldn't have taken my grandkids. If your parent that holds their hands and watches them very closely it's probably fine but then it might not be as enjoyable because you'll be stressed out. There are some places where child or an adult could fall and get hurt. It is a gorgeous hike.
Dang. I was hoping for some inside info on where to tent camp at Diamond lake. Looks beautiful in this video. We will be there in a few days for a quick overnight stay and are looking for a quiet uncrowded experience and I know nothing about the place. We'll be pooped but should have time for an easy day hike if there is one at hand.
