Summiting Oregon's Third Tallest Mountain (We Are Not Prepared) 

Kelly, you really should think about carrying your own pack. At least water. Heaven forbid Cody falls off an edge, you’d be screwed. 😃

Oh, my... you two! Climbing a volcano should start before sunrise, with ice axes or trekking poles. Both climbers should have packs. You were very wise to call the hike. Biting off more than you were ready for... Still, you had some awesome views of the surrounding country. Glad you're both safe and whole, if tired.

I love how Cody is a wealth of knowledge :)

Welcome to our gorgeous PNW! If you guys are planning to do some serious hikes in Washington (Olympic, Mount Rainier, North Cascades National Parks) it wouldn’t hurt to have good hiking boots and hiking poles. Enjoy!

I enjoy your videos and appreciate what you bring to the outdoor community. If I may offer up a suggestion I would recommend the 10 essentials list for all your hikes short or long. I do believe REI has this list on their website or you can Google “ the 10 essentials for hiking”. That information may also be useful for people who watch your videos and are hitting the trail for the first time. I am a avid hiker and backpacker and you just never know. I fell this week and my biggest concern was how to hike the .25 miles out. My trekking poles saved me. My pride still smarts but I made it out. I was not as cautious as I should have been on slick rock. Keep it coming. Love your content. Stay safe out there!

So the moss hanging from the trees is what we call “grandpa’s beard” it is a great fire starter material.

Oh my! I was really worried for you when you gave the stats on the hike. Altitude and elevation gain is one thing, but when you add snow it gets critical. I won't tell you the entire horrifying story, but a coworker of mine almost lost his life from a slide on the snow in Utah. Sadly, he did loose his leg. When there is snow involved, you really need crampons, ice axes, and clothing and food to stay a couple nights if things go wrong. I am happy your experience level allowed a good call in knowing when to stop. I knew you would love Bend for all kinds of reasons! Love you two. Have fun!

Great hike. The scenery was outstanding. You two looked really sharp in your dress clothes. Happy camping 😊.

Good call! At the very least, you need crampons to do that. Wouldn't hurt to have the essential survival items in your pack too. I was worried at the beginning that Kelly didn't have sunglasses. They say sun blindness is awful. Great adventure, enjoyed it just as much as if you would've summitted it!

Nice try!

WOW!! The scenery is absolutely gorgeous!! But, the trail looked dangerous, with the loose gravel and snow. I am so happy neither of you slipped or fell. Also the mosquitoes seemed so annoying!! Yet once again you scored a homerun with this video!! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!!

You guys look all purdy dressed up! Your hair is getting lighter, both of you. Don't you love summer!! Thanks for bringing us along on your hike. The views were awesome. Enjoy!

You Guys! You've got to prepare for any big mountain with planing, conditioning and the right equipment including sun protection. Thanks for the adventures!

The Cabin that my Grandparents owned in Red Feather Lakes Colo. had a Lake out in front of it & the three sisters were the backdrop behind the Lake & up of coarse it was simply out of this world & also Dead Mans Mountain could be seen from their front deck. It was called Dead Mans Mountain because a Man & a Bear fought each other to their deaths {Both the man & the Bear's}.......Boy do I miss the Cabin & the Mountains....

Another WOW and yummy! Safe travels till next time🌞✌️

Beautiful scenery! Please bring Hiking Poles (Leki) are what we use. Also, an ice axe could come in handy. If you begin to slide that ice axe could save your life. Thanks for sharing.

FYI....Don't know where you will be this Thursday, the 13th, but the northern lights are supposed to be visible due to a solar storm in several states including the pacific northwest. It would be so cool if you all had the opportunity to see them. Google it if you haven't already heard about it.

Your travels keep getting better. That truck camper, gamechanger bigtime. 😮❤

Glad you turned back and ate safe

Such a beautiful vlog. Amazing views❤️❤️. Y’all are so good at showing off nature at its best. And I hate mosquitoes too😂😂.

There may be some new hiking gear in your very near future!!! A steep trail, with snow and altitude is nothing to mess around with. I was glad to see you turn around. That is a beautiful place!! Thanks for another excellent video.

Beautiful!

So scary watching you guys traverse that snow on the way down! Love the area.

Wow that hike scared me ( But this is one of my favorite Vlogs that you have done

You may want to grab micro spikes with the trecking poles if you want to hike like that

Brilliant video my friend what a stunning place. Thanks for taking us along with you on hike. I enjoyed your hike.

I love all of your videos but really enjoyed this one!!! ❤❤❤ looks like so much fun

Welcome to Oregon! Stoked that you two are here! You need to checkout Blue Pool near McKenzie Bridge.

I would not expect mosquitos in the snow in the mountains. That is really crazy. Thanks for another great video.

I hope you see lots of the beaches in oregon, we have so many great ones.

They are on the coast too.

My homestate. Great work! Go to little crater lake in Mt. Hood. Or go to the opal creek area.

We love you guys. The videography is truly amazing. The videos are relaxing, we sometimes watch you to fall asleep. We are watching the new and the old vlogs. They are educational, entertaining, inspiring... The wife(58) and I (64) call you the kids. When we are board with regular TV we say "let's watch the kids." Thanks

Micro spikes are good snow hiking too.

Beautiful hike guys and a wise idea to turn back. Beautiful lake and breathtaking views. Loved it. Love and be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪

Glad you 2 treated yourselves to a nice dinner after that grueling hike?? I think you bit off more than you could chew on that one, lol. But I admire your sense of adventure!😊😊

Hiking on snow is the absolute worst!

Beautiful footage! Y’all are awesome. The glass you found is known as obsidian. Not too far from where I live, and south of where you were there’s a gorgeous trail called Obsidian Trail. So glad you are having a groovy time here in Oregon -despite the skeeters.

Wow!! That looked exhausting! The area is gorgeous! I am really enjoying your journey! Take care.. ❤

When I first moved to Central Oregon back in 95 the glaciers on the three sisters were much larger it's so sad how quickly they have melted

Don’t forget to stop in at the Tillamook dairy factory for a tour. Try the Marion Berry ice cream! It’s delicious! If you’re heading to Rainier in the next few weeks, you may want to consider micro spikes for the snow. They stretch over your shoes / hiking boots. The snow gets slick when the sun hits the snow.

Such a beautiful natural place to hike at. Volcanoes do create rich beautiful landscapes. The food looked delicious especially the veggie saute looking plate, Yummy:)

Welcome to the west coast! We have some ferocious mountains! I have hiked sections of the John Muir trail in the Sierra, and it will challenge you. You see some of the most stunning mountain scapes. Glad to have you here. ❤️👍🕺🏻

You all did good. Love the area. Stephanie M ❤

My hubs has done South Sister a few times and he says you were a little early and maybe a tad bit "unprepared," you should probably have your "10 Essentials," so it's good you recognized you needed to turn back. He also starts a lot earlier. Good video!

Thank you for sharing. The hike was great to see but not so much for you guys. Hope it is all good .The food made up for the hike.😂 Can't wait for the next one.😊 😊

This is brilliant episode guys, such a enjoyable piece of cinematography!

That’s a gnarly hike!!!! Y’all sure got some pretty views!

what a wonderful hike. Such a beautiful area.

It would have been cool if you all had had something to slide down on all that snow😊

Back in the day I backpacked those three mountains several times. Congratulations of that hike guys! It’s beautiful! That’s exactly why I live here! Can’t wait to see your first choice city on the coast! If you’re in Newport goto Newport Cafe for breakfast it’s our favorite!! If you’re able to get the Rogue Brewery you won’t regret!! Safe travels guys!!

If chef 👩‍🍳 Kellie said the food was amazing then you know it was 😊

Wow, you guys were brave to continue as far as you did! Poor Cody with the mosquitos...Kelli needs to make more natural bug spray. As always, great content. You guys were the first couple living on the road that I watched a year or so ago. Always wait with anticipation for the next one! ❤

OMG beautiful hike 🦌🌲😎🐿️

That was some hike even as far as y'll went. It looked beautiful, but treacherous. It's good u did a turn around. Stay safe in u travels.

Dang! So proud of you kids!!

Wow, what an incredible adventure! Loved watching your journey to summit the third tallest peak in Oregon. The van life camping and hiking combination is truly inspiring. Keep pushing your limits and exploring the great outdoors! 👏🏔

Just saw a video on RU-vid that is using cuts from your videos. Channel is Final Affliction, the horrifying last minutes of Jaqueline Perry. Kinda weird. Thought you might want to know.

Wow! I went to the REI close to where you eat. The hotel was just across the river. Very cool!

Love y’all! Thanks for all the beautiful content & sharing your life! Hope one day you can make it out to the west coast Safe travels Thanks

It was amazing to me that you were in snow and the mosquitoes were thick 😮

Fantastic Video ! In the one shot of Kelly you can see the exhaustion. Loved it!

Are you tent camping? Can you do a 24 mile hike in one day? Wow!

Such a beautiful hike and challenging, you two did very well. Loved the ending. Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.

THANKS for taking the bear spray 😆 I’m the person that watches the Scary Bear Attack channel on RU-vid! Those black bears normally don’t attack BUT they randomly do for whatever reason 😳 The last comment I made was about a random black bear attack in New Mexico of all places! Yall had just left NM by then but i immediately thought of you both because of that. SO GLAD you’re taking the spray 😅 love you both and fantastic vlog as always 💜

I know you could of made it to the top ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ Love your videos 🏔🏔🏔🏔🏔

Beautiful! Just a precaution..I just watched video of people hiking. They had bear spray in back pack but were surprised by bear and got attacked. They lucky to survive. I would just practice reaching for it & ready to spray. Kinda like a gunslinger practicing pulling gun from holster. Be safe!

Wow another great video, smart Decision to do the turn around on the summit hike, don’t need any accidents, well that meal really looked Awesome. Am jealous….lol very inspiring you tube videos… great work 👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful video!! What do ya’ll use for bug spray? Do you make it yourself?

The mosquitoes in the mountains in July are horrible in the Northwest. We usually wait to camp or hike in high elevations until mid-August. We had late snows this year so lingering later than normal. Glad you're experiencing the mountains of Oregon. Time for you to go to Mount Rainier next 😊

Regarding poles, not only can they be an assist on climbs, and very helpful on descents, but they are also great for getting your arms some work and relieving some of the stress on your knees. I never hike without them any more.

Oh I know your pain!! My husband and I backpacked to lake solitude in the grand Tetons and the last 1/2 Mike or so it was all up and solid ice and snow! Going up was bad but coming back down was way worse! I wish I had my poles then too!!! Glad y’all made it back down!!

Kelly talking about trekking poles, my boyfriend and I have trekking poles and we haven't even gone hiking together yet. 😂

Mountains are a different beast!! Thin air,snow and ice, And loose rocks all are available for your enjoyment, but try next time❤

Enjoy the beautiful coast! Make sure you visit The Lion Caves home of the awesome sea Lions. Happy trails to you both!

So glad you are in Oregon!!! I thought we saw you in Bend and now I know it was you. I climbed the south sister in my younger years, but it is a long hike. Very beautiful.

But, If you get tracking polls we won't be able to watch the "kellie crawl" JK, The low oxygen up there will really test your fitness.

you guys kicked butt on that hike! I'd turn around once it was a steep climb! loving your adventures thank u for sharing ❤

It's a Funday Sunday when the Oden's give us a bonus vlog. Stay safe. Thanks for sharing!!!

Valiant effort. Mosquitos and snow...don't see that in AR or TX.

Mcmenamins St Francis School & Pub & brewery is a must.

Microspikes would have helped. Glad you made It back ok

Guys running past you reminded me of my wife and I hiking the steep side of Pinnacle in Little Rock. There were these guys running full speed jumping from rock to rock up and down, they passed us both ways several times. And they had these heavy vests full of lead shot on! It was incredible. We thought we were pretty fit 60 plus year olds, but these guys were like superheroes! You two are pretty darn impressive too!

Another great video! Sending love to my favorite couple

Yall crack me up! Glad yall do not let your egos get the best of your wisdom! 🎉

Just got some trekking poles. I need them just to walk on flat land. 😅

Good to be circumspect and know your limits.

Awwww snow!!!! Thanks for the visual!!!

What works good for mosquitoes skin so soft bath oil from Avon

Thankyou for stopping before you risk getting hurt ❤. 😢 Great accomplishment in itself 😊. Stay safe always. Please go see Crater lake there before you go. It is so gorgeous ❤. Our favorite spot out west.

Just made my day Cody and Kelly 🎉😊

Yea that could have ended bad no warm cloths snow from the start smart move

You need crampons and trek poles if you do a hike this one again.

Yes wiser and safe 42 go back you guys are smart

Lake Paulina area also has lots of amazing stuff

So beautiful! I love hiking.

Wow. What a breath taking place!

That was awesome! Thank you

Just watched this video. At least you almost made it up to the top. Have you guys ever made it to the top of a mountain? Are you going to try to summit mount Rainer?

It’s funny- when I first clicked. It said zero views. Now that I watched it, it has over 500 views. Amazing.
