Thanks for watching!

I didn't, but there were trout in the little feeder spring so they are definitely in there.

Thanks for watching!

Whoops! I can't imagine it was too pleasant to camp in the restricted zone. It's pretty desolate over there and the water options aren't great.

We were on the way out. Camped by a creek with “ash” so thick we had to put it thru a bandanna then our filter.

You're close to a lot of great hikes, enjoy the area!

That would definitely be a good bit of elevation gain.

Thank you!

I thought I had that listed in the description, but apparently not! Let me look thru my archive and find out the date for you. I want to say it was early August perhaps.

@@Hikingindepth thanks!

@@coryjoe_c It was filmed August 14th thru the 16th in 2020.

This was filmed in early July so they were voracious. I've been there in early September and they weren't too bad. Page Springs is where they have been the worst when I visit.

Thank you! It's still the place I've had the most problems with ticks.

I'm almost famous. 😁

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. I hope you can check it out in the winter via snowshoes or XC skis.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the update tips and for watching. I'm glad you had a great time and jealous you got to see an owl!

Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it. What was your favorite thing about hiking in the area?

I'm not sure of their official name, but they are on private land and just off the freeway north of Zion. Some googling should turn up info 😁

Better to be safe than sorry! I was freaked out on the boulder fields. I kept picturing myself falling and snapping my leg 😬 luckily that didn't happen.

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Wow that's cool. I'd love to see some old photos or videos of the town when it existed. Have you come across anything?

Thank you!

Me too Dad. Love you!

I didn't find any major evidence in my historical research, but I'm sure there were plenty of test claims by people to check for minerals. What area in particular do you think looks like it was mined?

I'm glad I could help!

The only sketch parts are going into and out of maybe two of the washes. Sketch factor maybe a 3 on a scale of 10 where 10 indicate rock climbing with ropes on the easier route. Honestly going over those big lava rock fields made me more uneasy. I always feel like I might fall and break a leg!

@@Hikingindepth awesome - thank you! I am looking at doing this solo and was wondering how sketch the ropes and ridges were. sounds like they aren't too bad. great video!!

Amazing. One of the coolest lakes I've ever hiked to!

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you got all the info! Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to answer them.

Kelly, thanks for the stories and great info! I took the shorter trail into Fish Lake but I crossed over the outlet on a trail to head over to Cliff Lake for the night. The next day I continued the loop around back to fish Lake and went across the eastern shore of Fish Lake on the way out. I didn't realize stop and relax at the lake but I saw quite a few flat areas where a lot of people have been camping or it looks like perhaps that's where the cabin would have been that you mentioned. I'm disappointed I didn't take time to explore more now that I know that there was cabin remains.

@@Hikingindepth You could take either trail and still cross over where you did. There was a spot where the sign pointed to both trails. If you came down a steep hill right before that, you would have been on the shorter trail. The shorter trail doesn't get near a creek until the two meet for the last 1/2-3/4 mile.

@@k33elly I remember that sign, we definitely came downhill via the shorter trail.

@@MrOregonCurtis Cool. Yeah I never take the long trail, but that's partly because we pack a boat in and camp at the lake for several days. It makes the hike out a real bear. Last time I went there, we found some wild strawberries growing right next to the trail on that downhill slope.

Thank you! My guess would be cutthroat, especially above the falls, but I'm not sure if it was stocked. I think there is a fish hatchery just up the road from stabler though so maybe it was stocked sometime in the past? I love pileated's, such a distinctive look with a great call. I feel like I mostly hear them though as they take off before I get too close!

@@Hikingindepth Cutthroat would be my guess as well. They don’t usually stock the high streams that I’m aware of. Pileateds sit on the telephone pole outside my house and talk and hammer in April and May and then they go down into Jewett creek canyon to nest and raise their kids. Then I see em around off and on all fall and then they lay low until next spring. Good stuff

Yup. I really only eat it as a trail snack to get a nice acidic flavor while drinking some water. 👍

@@Hikingindepth Yes , exactly what I do too. 🙂

I've never played the game, but I've heard it's beautiful. Maybe not as good as the real thing though! 😁

@@Hikingindepth hah! You’re playing the best version!

I think he uses one when he gets tired. 😁

Thank you! The mosquitoes in the campground were pretty bad during dusk, but then they went away. We also had head nets from Sea to Summit that are treated with Permethrin which helps a lot!

Thanks Steve! The coast range is pretty great when you can get through all the thick brush! 😊

Yep..grew up in the hills between Florence and Newport… especially Yachats area. My stomping grounds.( years ago)

Thanks? 😁

It's always a bittersweet goodbye.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Total score on the campsite and smart thinking to not get our tent blown away! 😂😂😂

Thanks for the kind words, that means a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I want to do more in depth videos with history, but the research takes quite a bit of time so I'm a little slow to produce them. 😅

Thanks for watching and the kind words! 😊 I've never tried ice fishing before, but I bet there are some hungry trout under there.

Thank you!

Thanks Dad!

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching! What's the next hike you're planning to go on?

@@Hikingindepth i want to go hike to catherine creek at the columbia river gorge

That's a great one. I really like Coyote Wall too!

@@Hikingindepth thank you :)

You're welcome, enjoy the song!

Thanks mom!

Yellowstone is so beautiful in the snow, it takes the nickname of "wonderland" to a whole new level. 😊

Thanks Dad!

Hey, thanks so much for stopping by. Have you had a chance to visit Yellowstone? It looks like you are planning to hike the AT? That will be quite the adventure, good luck! 😊

😅 It was chilly for sure!

😁
