So glad there r still places the average person cannot get to. The minute a road goes in the area is destroyed. I saw that happen to Wrights Lk in the CA Sierra.

I can't believe I've lived in Oregon nearly 55 years, my entire life, and I've never heard of this!

@mikeseets3892 5 месяцев назад

Been in there about 11 times since 2007... spent about 10 nights in there total. Originally we backpacked 4 miles down the creek till we found the trail the old timers used. And its not all about the falls, it's about the experience. Wassen Creek is epic from one end to the other.

@butterdeux5619 2 года назад

I live in Illinois about a hour away from a place called Starve Rock. It has great hiking and some pretty unique trails. My favorite was a place called Starve Louis canyon. At the end it has this AWESOME WATERFALL AND CAVES TO EXPLORE.

@mattkeosian3606 4 месяца назад

thats so crazy. because i grew up in vermont and it has so many waterfalls to explore too!

@bozo5632 3 года назад

Seems like just about every point of interest is called "the devil's" something or other.

@Slowrex123 4 года назад

Why is it called “The devils staircase “?

@G60J60F80 3 года назад

Mick David probably because it’s so hard to get there. You have to go “through Hell” to get there.

@bokangleach 3 года назад

I wonder where they went in from. I did the trek with a couple friends, and if I recall right, it took us about an hour and a half in, mostly straight down. Maybe 2 1/2 out. I must say, after all the hype, I was rather underwhelmed by the spectacle (or lack thereof). Then again, like this video, we did it later in the year so water flow was pretty low. Still, the space itself doesn't measure up to the near mythical hype (IMO).

@RJTheMountainSage 4 года назад

Thats not the devils staircase, its the staircase to heaven.

@danabeyenhof5618 9 месяцев назад

This hike is treacherous and would not recommend unless you are in good shape and mentally tough enough to push the limits. It's not worth it unless you start super early or you will get lost guaranteed at night.

@danabeyenhof5618 9 месяцев назад

I will also mention it is very dangerous the closer you get to the waterfalls.

I hate it that people just trample all over it. Soon the natural beauty will diminish as the mosses and micro biology are disturbed. 😟 This right here is the reason so many natural treasures are becoming off limits for filming.

Good thing they didn’t get hurt scrambling through the tanglewoods before reaching their illusionist destination. Not worth the risk for all the hype.

@Stephanie Logan I bet you think it would be easier if you knew whether it was true or not... It isn't... Imagine waking up one day to know that everything you thought was true was actually a lie. And knowing you could never convince anyone else of anything. Meh, I read Carl Sagan's "Demon Haunted World" when I was 15 and thought I was so ahead of the curve. It is a demon haunted world, but not in the sense that Carl Sagan was advocating. If you think the people you see on the street are real people, how easy it is to spread deceit by those masquerading online. It's like Norm McDonald once said, when the devil comes he doesn't look like the devil. But, he always sounds the same.

There is no Jesus, there is no god, there is no devil. If someone doesn’t believe they have that right, just like you have the right to spew your idiocy here.
