Absolutely LOVED this scooter series! Your own enthusiasm and excitement on the road is contagious. The PNW is a bucket list trip for me. Being disabled, I’ll never be able to hike that last trail you took, but I’m glad YOU got to do the hike for me so I could enjoy that stunning scenery! 😊 I’d love to see that lighthouse up close! Great series - and hypnotizing footage and editing - as always! ❤

I grew up with this Pacific Coast as my "playground." Although it has changed beyond recognition, I still enjoyed seeing it through his eyes. If you want to watch another adventure channel that is brought totally to life, have you watched Noraly? AKA: Itchy Boots. She travels the world on her motorcycles. If you enjoy adventure, she presents her channel in a "do NOT miss" forum!

@josilynl5265 Месяц назад

Hey! I live in WA and have mobility issues. My favorite place to drive through is highway 20 from Marblemount to Winthrop. Gorgeous mt views! You'll love it if you go. I'd also recommend chuckanut drive from bow edison to Fairhaven and Also taking highway 101 around the peninsula (especially if you take one of the ferries when you go). Hope you get a chance to visit!

Canada is soooo beautiful and we would love to visit the whole area of British Columbia. Thank you Tristan for the hard work of videoing, droning and editing the best. 🛵😊❤

Absolutely beautiful. We went as far Crater Lake. When we got there and looked out over the lake I cried. Also we have a van. It would’ve cost us $1040 in gas driving 2700 miles! You’re definitely doing it the cheaper way😂 thank you for sharing. I wish you would have taken a picture with your brother. I get why you didn’t 😊

I took that hike out to Cape Flattery several years ago for sunset, and the view was amazing. Hiking back up the hill in the dark without a head lamp (silly me), not so much. Being a city boy, my head kept spinning around like that of an owl's as I'm looking for "lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" sneaking up in the shadows. Fortunately, I didn't come across so much as as squirrel on my hike back. Great series.

@sharondavis8003 Месяц назад

I love the scooter adventure, Tristan. Too many favorite parts to list but Cape Flattery was spectacular! Keep riding whatever vehicle because you truly have an adventure channel not a cookie cutter run of the mill one. Oh, love your chair. 😊❤

You had me going: "I had to run back to a gas station to get more ... water." One of the joys of having a Honda scooter; good gas mileage.

@johnchedsey1306 Месяц назад

These scooter videos were excellent, plus this one was a trip down memory lane since I lived in Washington for so many years. Cape Flattery is just so spectacular. On one trip, maybe around 2015, a friend and I got to the end of the trail and I was starting to climb up to the last viewpoint...and some guy was on his knee proposing to his girlfriend. What an amazing place for that! Good thing she said yes. And a cool moment to accidentally witness. Highway 20 across northern Washington is a truly overlooked gem from end to end. I drove a portion of it last summer on my yearly trip back to Washington. So much of this footage just got me all nostalgic for the many roadtrips I took around the state.

I saw thee tent, and immediately knew where it was. That's our valley's favorite road. I've ridden my bicycle up and down that beast many times. It's a hoot on the way down! What you missed, was going all the way to the top of the mountain. Absolutely super old fire lookout that is available rent from thee forest service. The views are astonishing. It's perched on the edge of a cliff. And you could have waved at my house in the valley below from that ridge. :) "Hi!"

@terrimcintyre193 Месяц назад

Thank you Tristan. I’ve enjoyed this entire series so much, but particularly this portion of the adventure. I grew up in Edmonds. You’ve inspired me to get back to Washington and see all that I never saw while living there. Isn’t it always amazing how much we miss of the area right around us. If you get back to Washington again I can recommend visiting the San Juan Islands. Lots of fascinating history there. Safe travels to you.

@Robnord1 Месяц назад

I agree on visiting the San Juans. Nothing like it in the US. We like to take relatives who dare to come here to WA out to Orcas Island, drive up Mount Constitution there, and climb the rock tower for a spectacular panoramic view of ocean, islands, and the mountains. Much preferred to the usual WA traveler's destination of Seattle, which we avoid with a passion.

@richardp6461 Месяц назад

Cape Flattery is one of my favorite places on the planet. There are large ropes that you can use to get to those caves some of them have waves that come threw the other side and in hightide are filled with water you will sometimes see star fish on the walls. it's an amazing place. The lack of people put it over the top 10 out of 10 Thank you I have really enjoyed this trip right along with you. I never thought you would sell that scooter. $143 for gas ain't bad. I thought you were falling in love with it. I understand a dual sport could get you to more places. EXELLENT VIDEO!

Tristan, I grew up in North Central Washington and there are many of these out of place paved roads in the forests. They are in place to support logging operations and reduce the wear and erosion from truck traffic.

@cargotrailerkenny4481 Месяц назад

very enjoyable video. I love traveling and when I can't the next best thing is watch someone else do it, especially the way you do it on a shoestring. always cool when you serendipitously find a good road to a great camp spot. I also enjoy the road footage. funny how on time lapse on a scooter it makes one feel like you are going dangerously fast...looks like you're having the time of your life.

@clarafloyd1257 Месяц назад

My husband had two sisters that both lived in Tonasket, Washington and raised their families there. If you had turned north on Hwy 97 you would've been in Okanogan Valley along the Okanogan River. It is the heart of Washington apple orchards country. Also Washington cherries are grown there. One of the sisters owned a 37 acre apple orchard in her younger years. We visited them every summer and camped beside them for a week or two. Only 16 miles from the Canadian border. Beautiful rugged country!!

@genekied Месяц назад

Great way to end the trip. I wasn't able to get out to Flattery on my trip to the PNW due to the Covid closure, so this completes my journey also (for the time being). Can't wait for the second chapter of the Canadian adventure later this year.

@DelorseLSeattle Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing your scooter adventures! It was great to see you enjoying some old stomping grounds. Wow, Cape Flattery! YEARS ago we hiked that trail several times and there were no planked walks, no decked viewpoints, no rail fencing around the huge drop-offs into the rocks and waves below! Quite a bit on the scary side, but oh so worth it, as it still is, such a gorgeous impressive place. And it wasn't clouded over, you got to see Tatoosh Island! Congrats on your fun adventure!

I'm a long-time subscriber and I was a bit worried where you were going with the scooter but after watching the series I like how you handled it. You definitely captured the feel of the journey rather than just the destination. This trip had a different feel then your other videos because those tend to be focused on the places you go and the travelling between those locations is just sort of glossed over. As always, I appreciate your authenticity and your enthusiasm. Glad you enjoyed the trip and I wish you safety and success in your future travels on both 2 and 4 wheels.

We took a 61 day trip this spring with a small 17' teardrop trailer putting about 11,000 miles on the truck. Basically Maine to Big Bend and Guadalupe in Texas then New Mexico to Colorado up to the Tetons and west to Washington State, east to Glacier and then into Canada for Lake Louise and Banff before returning to Maine. We passed through Leavenworth (camped in the next town east in Cashmere) but didn't stop as we had on a 2018 trip. We did drive to the Washington coast at Deception Pass. It looks like you had fun, wish we had gone to that farthest point west on the coast.

@Jax4umalta Месяц назад

That’s crazy that you only spent 150 bucks in gas. Washington is such a beautiful state. This was something fun and different for your channel. Glad you had a great time Tristan I couldn’t wait to see each video. Cheers my friend.

@mikemecklenborg5412 Месяц назад

The reasons why a lot of these roads end in the middle of nowhere is when Congress passed the Wilderness Act of 1964 where no more roads could be built into the forest or Wilderness areas so a lot of them just stopped where they were. These type of roads are all over Washington State. They can maintain them but they can't extend them or make new ones. Those are Apple Orchards mostly. The best hike in Washington is just up the road behind Leavenworth. It's called The Enchantments. You just drove right past it off Icicle Creek Road. You need to come back and hike it someday. It's 22 miles long. You will not regret it. My favorite hike in all of Washington State where I have hiked for 33 years.
