Awesome scenery! I love all the little oddities nature has to offer like the gnarly, twisted trees, rocks, and spooky hollows. You're always great at filming not just the breathtaking views, but also the interesting bits along the way. Thanks for sharing!
Imagine having to construct those ladders. The west coast forests seem deceptively magical, and fun with all those ladders. With an injury I'm sure it can easily become a nightmare. Really neat how they sawed the fallen trees into flat bridges and have people along the trail ready to help you along. They must meet and be some interesting characters. Glad you three made it out safe.
I will be going to Washington to visit my son and his wife for a week. I can't wait to see the coast and mountains again for a bit. Bigfoot is something me and my family has had encounters and seen one in Northern California in my camp in 1983 when my oldest son was one year old. I did not get scared it happened so fast. I miss the big mountains and clear streams.
Great videography and really enjoy your dialog. Love the bigfoot episodes you created. That's what led me to your channel. And as a hiker the other episodes you have are well done.
Thanks a lot man! I actually filmed a Bigfoot episode shortly after completing this trail and that’ll hopefully be coming out soon. Thanks for watching!!
@@mikewanders I will keep watching! This video looks so similar to the Maine coast but even more rugged. Haven't done west coast hiking, but have been all through Maine and New Hampshire and have seen some bears...but never anything like a bigfoot. Not sure there are too many sightings in New England.
Wow. That was amazing. You had some stunning camp spots. What a slog through some of it! A backpack counterweight pulley system could be cool on some of those intense ladders. But it's a constant maintenance battle in that lush environment. Epic!
Thank you so much for watching! Yeah you know sometimes the mud was so bad, I was actually relieved to be on a ladder. But they can also be super sketchy. All so so worth it tho for the experience and the views. And ya Maggie is badass!
Stunning trail. Did the Milford Track in NZ years ago and that was epic, going over passes etc, but this also looks amazing. Those ladders! Never far from the hairy big fella methinks.
Loved this one; what a trek! Speaking of Squatch, there's a pretty interesting short vid by a couple, with a sighting. If you search Bigfoot, Port Renfrew you should find it. Now I'm waiting for your next one!
@@debg7710 thank you!! And ya i think I’ve seen it. Down in Port Renfrew. We stayed there the night before we began the west coast trail and it felt like a GREAT place for them to be. In fact, most of Vancouver Island feels that way.
Apparently the west coast trail is haunted could have been a spirit you guys saw. I’m from a desolate island off Vancouver island & legend has it it is haunted in some areas You should check the location to where you were camping to where you saw that guy. The trail was built specifically to help survivors from ship wrecks … interesting history. And well, Sasquatch roo roams our backcountry & are plentiful on Vancouver island 😊
Right! With so many deaths from sailors it would make sense. Even some hikers. That’s awesome you’re from there-I’m jealous. I spent some time after this trip doing some Bigfoot stuff near Nahmint Lake and then Clayoquot Sound
There is another smaller waterfall on the beach hike and I think that is maybe the Juan De Fuca trail section (or as someone scratched on the sign ) the Fuc* Dis trail. LOL
@@mikewanders I saw a video of someone doing it a year or 2 ago but it was in the dead heat of summer and so it didn't appear muddy ?? or maybe they just didn't show that???
@ yea that’s true it can very much depend on the recent weather. The day before we started our trip there was a relentless monsoon for about 24 hours straight
Pure Joy! Thanks from Ventura County, CA! Amazing inspiration from both of you and the trail!
Exceptional high quality video 📹 congratulations ots spectacular 👏
Wow thank you so much. I really appreciate you watching

I feel like a better person just for watching that epic journey. Well done guys. I couldn’t have gotten past the ladders.
Wow I’m a better person for reading this comment. Thanks so much for saying that. And the ladders got a bit intense at times!
Fantastic cinematography man! I enjoyed this so much, shots are so nicely captured!
The nature there is so beautiful! So green and lush 💚
@@extremechimpout it really is gorgeous. True Rainforest

Unbelievable scenery..thanks for all the hard work you do to share this 🙏🏼

@@kimmie6138 yea there’s nothing like the Pacific Northwest. Jealous of your experience in NorCal!

@elarson312 yea! I gotta try Acadia at some point. I’m from New England. I’ve heard of some reports scattered throughout MA, VT, NH and ME
WOW love the video, those ladders are totally wild.
Thank you so much! Yea the ladders were intense at times for sure
Great hike. I did Carmanah valley what a treat. Im glad to have family on the island.🇨🇦👍
So jealous you have family to visit out there. SUCH a stunning place
Loved this
Thank you for watching!

And, yay, Maggie!

id love to try and do this trail one day. Great video

Next Bigfoot Video needs to be Boggy Creek!
I’ve thought about doing that
@mikewanders Wtv you decide on, I can't wait to see it. Love those videos you do! Take care
gotta do it while it's still cool, already starting to warm up
@@Godzilla1487 appreciate that. You too
