Big Hole: Oregon Volcano Hidden in Plain Sight 

Great to learn about the geologic history of Oregon. Rad drone shot through the trees at 6:00 and 7:03! "Big hole is fact a big hole" ha ha ha!

Awesome, thank you! Favorite part was the baby sledding with the pup

Thank you Matt. As a kid throughout the 70's and early 80's a considerable contingent from Washington County's Hillsboro/Beaverton area used to hunt Mule Deer in this area, with camps set up just to the west of Big Hole (west side of Mowich Rd). One larger camp was colloquially known as "Little Hillsboro". I never harvested a deer there, but the last time I went with my Dad in 1980 he harvested his last buck on the west rim of Big Hole. I was always interested in the geography and geology of the area, as in the course of these hunting seasons we ranged the area fairly wide on the forest service roads. I was in the area last fall for the first time in ~40 years last September 2022 on a day trip to Fort Rock, taking a brief excursion to find the old deer camp. I didn't go drive the rim of Big Hole, so thank you for this excellent video. Brings back some good memories.

So glad to watch this video! Love the content but also your narration - the tone and pace and music are so calming just like nature itself

Well now.... I've been visiting that part of Oregon for years and didn't know about Big hole. Thanks for taking me there, I'll get there in person in April. Oh and your dog buddy pulling the sled was great!

I have fond memories of camping a night in big hole. (No fire just slept and explored) We managed to get our little car down the dirt road in the beginning of September 2016. It's really nice and peaceful like you said. Congrats on the growing family! Love your sled solutions!

Great job Matt! I didn’t even know Big Hole existed! Thanks for the education about Volcanism! Good to know what to look for and how it figures into the the geologic history. Loved the drone shots! Especially the one along the cliffs! Great job!

Great footage Matt! The commentary was spot on. Nice with a bit of the snow on the ground and nobody around. Fun area to explore!

Awesome to see you winter adventuring with the growing family. I’ve never explored that area so great to learn about it.

Another great little adventure, thank Matt!

Love Oregon, love the FF music. Great content, subscribed for Blue Hole, stayed for Big Hole.

Nice video Matt! Absolutely love that area, so much to explore. It is worth noting to prospective visitors that this section of the Deschutes National Forest is subject to an extensive winter range closure from December 1st through March 31st. All but a few specific forest roads are closed to motor vehicles through that period to protect Mule Deer populations. Of course travelers on foot or dog sled are free to roam!

I do not know exactly what it is. I absolutely adore your video style. It's not toxic at all.

Great video! Your videography is just outstanding!

This is why I love drone shots, you really see those geographical features of a terrain soo much better, lovely vid, great background communicating, well done 👍👍❤

That one place I have not been over there. Thanks Matt

Congrats on the new baby !! Great video the only one we have not been too !!

THANKS for a wonderful video takin me to places I never heard of!!!!!!!❤

Matt, your videos are progressing so beautifully.........family, too :)

Quality production, as always.

Awesome work dude, really enjoyed this, it was surreal hearing our remixes on this. Thank you so much for thinking of us.

Love it Matt. I never made it out there like I wanted in 2021. Beautiful in the snow.

Absolutely beautiful!

I always enjoy your videos and your calming voice. ☺️ Thank you.

Great stuff! We haven't had a chance to get into this one yet. The list grows...

Another great video Matt! Loved the use of FFX music!

Another great video!!! Thank you for sharing this...I've been wanting to see this for years.

Thanks!

Interesting geological features formed in an interesting way. The drone footage shows it well. Thank you.

I visited there a few years ago when I worked a job out of Silver Lake

Well done!

999 more subs for 10 k . 🎉let's go matt

Good job and nice drone footage. I’m going upgrade to the Air 2 S but waiting to see if they come out with any new additions this spring. 😀👍

So many Volancos

Wonderful video. Thank you Matt

Big Hole is on the upper edge of a huge round feature. That feature looks like a mostly filled in caldera. Your thoughts?............

What do you know about the Shan Creek area on southern Oregon near Grants Pass?

Did you see any cougar tracks?

Great video, beautiful footage, but the music was absolutely terrible!!

Sasquatch hotspot

Are satisfied with your Air 2 S? Would that that still be your choice after the Mini Pro 3? Thoughts! Thanks, Lynn

What geologic proof????

I really enjoy your videos like this that tell about the history of an area and when you narrate along with it.

Great job Matt, very interesting information about all the volcanic activities in Oregon. 👍

May not be well known but definitely stunning. The four legged travel partner really adds to the video's.

Great video thank you 👍🏻
