Welcome to Idaho's most beautiful road. This Idaho Overlanding trip takes us on an off road adventure in our Jeep Wranglers from the bottom of Hells Canyon, deepest river canyon in North America to one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the Idaho Seven Devils that I've ever seen. I've been on lots of roads in Idaho, but I think it's safe to say overlanding and car camping on Black Lake Idaho is now my favorite. We've tried overlanding to Black Lake unsuccessfully and wound up camping one night and heading home due an accident with our overlanding bantam trailer resto mod project...So we decide to drive over Hells Canyon, the deepest River Canyon in North America, to get there. After settling in at our incredible dispersed camping site on the edge of the lake, we get hit by a massive summer thunder storm, that has us running for cover and questioning our choices!

Sweet Sweet Redemption for HICKS. This was one heck of a drive. I can't wait to go back and explore that area more! You can find more V2R Content here: ru-vid.com

You KNOW we’re going back!!!

@dharwood2727 Год назад

I agree, Will, Idaho is awesome! I just wish you'd quit telling everyone else about! When I was a kid (high school) I could drive almost anywhere. Forty years later (in Southeast Idaho) Californians and Utahans have bought up a lot of the land here, and fenced it all off. Of course it's not all Californians, or Utahans, just the rich snotty ones. But they have ruined my back yard!!! Please keep making your vids about Idaho. They are truly a blessing. Just don't be so excited about it!😉 Okay?!

@Venture2Roam Год назад

LOL. I know what you mean..I grew up on a dirt road outside of Weiser..and now that dirt road has houses all along it. Things are changing...which is kind of why I feel a push to get out there while I still can. So appreciate your comment and that you are enjoying the vids!

@matthewjones5143 10 месяцев назад

Same where I live. Worst part is the new commers start voting to make it just like the place they left.

@BoiseG 2 месяца назад

I hold my breath as I watch your videos, I dread the day when you reveal my favorite spots and bring in the hordes. There's far too many people living in Idaho now, and the joy of solitude in the outdoors is almost a thing of the past.

@Venture2Roam 2 месяца назад

Well I’m glad you are watching. I still find a lot of solitude out there, and I hope you do too!

@MicahKamiah Месяц назад

I couldn't agree more. These types of videos are so sad to me.

@Venture2Roam Месяц назад

@@MicahKamiah The VAST majority of people who watch these videos will not try to replicate the route...and I don't share GPS coords or route info. I bet this video is responsible for maybe 5 people additional heading to black lake...which is already a known place - no secrets here. But if it gives inspiration for people to get off the couch and take their kids outside, then I think it's doing more good than harm in the world.

@nickmcdvtt Год назад

Will, you crushed it with this one, dude. This part of Idaho is gorgeous. Love what you said at 11:06, “When you look at maps as much as I do, you start to dream in topo.” I can relate to that. Black Lake looks incredible. Goodness gracious… I have been there with thunderstorms. That can be pretty scary. Loved the banter in this one and the lighthearted humor. And as always, great story-telling and a great message.

Last time I went up that Kleinschmidt Grade I cut a sidewall on some slate and had to change a tire half way up. Not fun. What I've found in Idaho is most of those "no trailer" signs means "No big 16' camper trailers"

@Venture2Roam Год назад

Ya, the trailer sign didn't mean our type of trailer...but it was still fun to get that sign on camera lol. Changing a tire up there would be really tight. Glad you made it out OK.

You guys don’t know how lucky you are. When I was your age we had either a state map or an atlas, that was it. There was nothing showing what’s private and what’s public, what open and what’s not. There was NO GPS, we had to just go and hope we could figure out routes. We’d either hit locked gates, or occasionally a mad property own with a gun. I still have one fuel tank off my old Honda XL250 that had 2 22 cal bullets in the tank, which left 2 holes for the gas to leak all over my pants. Things were different then, you guys get the greatest experiences with you friends and family, it’s wonderful. I’ll admit it, I’m a bit jealous, but still enjoy watching these videos as they bring back LOTS of memories. Remember, there were no roof top tents and the quick pop up tents were just coming out, but we had the best times making these trips. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

Hi Will! Thanks for this video and all of your other videos. You definitely show off the beauty of Idaho which is why I drove from Virginia to Idaho to overland in my full size rig. As I have been on some trails already it is pretty cool when I recognize a spot that you highlighted like the bus on Burgdorf to French Creek! I plan on going to Kleinschmidt and Black Lake this weekend. While I am definitely enjoying the discovery of places myself, your videos have been the start of multiple inspirations!

@finnish1954 Год назад

In 1972 I drove my Mom's 1970 Chevy Impala down the Kleinschmidt Grade into Hell's Canyon. It was intense. We had to back up a few times to let pickup trucks go by. The road looks better now than it did back then. My Mom has relatives buried up in the Bear, Idaho cemetery; that's why we drove up to Bear and Cuprum. On a whim decided to drive down Kleinschmidt on the way home to Nampa.

@Venture2Roam Год назад

That's a heck of a story. I think driving up is probably less scary that driving down. Tip of the hat to you sir.

@jdshaw2751 Год назад

Great video, as always! Couple tips for the trailer: take the springs off it and hard mount the axle. It will take a lot of the bounce out of it. If you don't want to do a spring delete, put shock absorbers on it. I have a small trailer I pull around from time to time. It's an odd Datsun pickup bed and frame converted to a trailer. It bounced a lot even with shocks, so I did a sring delete, used a couple small Maxxis Bighorn offroad tires, and I literally forget it's behind me at times.

Or does look pretty empty. I had the paddle board, firewood, and water back there. 🍻

Hmmm. You should find Hindman Lake IN IDAHO!

That lake looks awesome.

Trailer needs shocks so it doesn't bounce around so much and doesn't go over if it hits an odd rock or a pothole. In the mean time, you need to air down the tires even more on the trailer.

@Venture2Roam 6 месяцев назад

Lol…I specially called out that we aired the tires down…and showed it being aired down. You are right about the shocks.

@Jayda08 6 месяцев назад

@@Venture2Roam Thats why I suggested airing down even "more". 😉 Another solution, is going with 16" wheels so the tires have much taller sidewalls and can be air down a lot more, so the trailer doesn't bounce around.

Cant wait till Jun when we will be visiting family in Mt Home and using it as a base for travel. What month was this trip? Trying to decide trip time frame. Since I didnt see snow maybe mid summer but also no fire smoke? Surprised didnt see any other vehicles, what day of week would you recommend for a trip there? FYI, you are my fav Overlander. Like the way you do your vids. Its like going with friends on these trips.

@Venture2Roam Год назад

Thank you so much…what a great compliment! Mtn. Home is right between the Owyhees and the Soldiers..lots to explore there! This was August on a weekend. There were other people out that way..but not many. No fires out there until September this year. I’d go midweek for less people. Safe travels!!

We were looking for a new place to go. Think we might check it out this summer. Any fish in the lake??

@Venture2Roam 4 месяца назад

There's not good fishing in Black Lake, but just up over the rim of the mountain there are some good fishing lakes.

@spuddoright1970 Год назад

I'm thinking of doing this later this summer. Question though... is there any decent fishing (streams) in the area, or just the lake? If so, I'd take my Jeep w/ fly gear, if no fishing I'll take my motorcycle! Terrible decisions I have to make. Thanks for the great video - I keep forgetting that I don't always have to go north and east! (I live in Star)

@Venture2Roam Год назад

We’ll there’s the snake River. Also Man Creek closer to Weiser. Lots of hike-only mountain lakes a mile or two from the place we stayed. Black Creek runs along there…but don’t know if it’s good fishing. Happy trails!!

What type roof tents?

@Venture2Roam Год назад

Desert Armor and OVS.

@thecaptain6994 Год назад

So were there any fish in Black Lake? I didn’t see any jumping.

@Venture2Roam Год назад

Not a lot because there are some predator fish in that lake. Short hikes to good fishing lakes though.

@arthurwilliams1097 Год назад

You should’ve ate up above the lake looked at the old mine shaft and the tramp bucket

Agreed, being from Colorado and just doing two weeks in Idaho - eastern Oregon, why would you come to Colorado🤷‍♂️. We saw no people and some of the most amazing trails and views you can imagine 🤷‍♂️👍😊

@Venture2Roam 9 месяцев назад

For the record..Idahoans are OK with everyone going to Colorado 😂😂😂. But I take a lot of pride in showing off my home. Glad to hear you had a good trip out here!!
