Kim had some errands in town, so I decided to join some friends on a short section overlanding the Washington backcountry discovery route (WABDR)! I didn't know that until about halfway through the trip, but this was truly unbelievable scenery. Come along and enjoy the brisk summer nights with me!

That section 4 is so beautiful!
The view on top of Chumstick Mountain is the best of the whole route!
I was out there doing sections 2-4 about two weeks prior to you hitting it.
It really was fantastic, hoping to do the entire thing at some point! Thanks for watching 😎
Never heard of the Washington Backcountry Discovery Trail! And the nearest flip was brilliant! Loving this channel so finally subscribed... Happy camping 🏕️
cheers!
Sorry for the bug splat yall 😅 I didn’t even notice it until I was editing!
Been a while since I’ve camp at Chumstick Mtn.
My wife and I did the wabdr in our 100 series. Loved every minute of it.
Heck yeah. I’d love to do the whole thing one day! Would be fun to link up the Oregon BDR with the Washington BDR for an extra long trip
Really nice video. It was relaxing but inspiring to get out and experience the beauty of the outdoors. I have been on one section of the WABDR and it was beautiful.
I’ve heard great things about the entire trail, we’d really love to do it one day. Thanks for watching Scott!
Now you are just showing off with the camp food !
My first video of yours - found you through my friend GrizzlyPath. I enjoy following other PNW overlanders. Your calm tone & pragmatic approach are very pleasant to watch.
The WABDR can be amazingly quiet at times despite its popularity. June & September are some of the best times crowd wise with September typically having the best weather (though not so much these last few years)
Oh hell yeah! And appreciate that 🤙🏼
yeah, I was surprised at how empty it was, June was a good time to get out there. Only saw 2 other vehicles and a few ATVs.
that was awesome, thx
Thanks for watching!
Head ons on trail are my biggest fear. They always have been but with the explosion of overlanding in the last decade there are alot more people and alot more who are inexperienced (plus there's now Side by Sides). My buddies and I have gone to running with headlights or bright amber lights on in the day. The amber really cuts through the trees and catches people's eyes. Something to consider.
Let me know when the wife and i can join you guys..lol Great video!
I swear, you guys find the best campsites. Lol. I like finding campsites with amazing views like you guys. Thank you for sharing!
You just gotta do a whole lotta driving, sometimes they’re not so great sometimes they’re amazing!
Seeing as you're Oregonians, I highly recommend Southwestern OR and Northern Northern CA - there are some truly beautiful mountains there and virtually no one in them.
We actually just did a trip around Shasta. I was surprised at how empty it was, we saw almost no one out there in the middle of the summer. Southern Oregon cascades and southeast oregon are definitely on the list
@@ScaleofTwo Yeah, I live on the Eastside of Seattle & usually travel around there but I've been working in Medford for the last year and I've been blown away by how beautiful the mountains and especially the creeks and rivers are - yet virtually no one here. I drove 200 miles on my trip down the California Salmon over a period of 7 hours and saw only 1 local counter traffic and absolutely NOONE going my direction, while driving or stopped.
@@ScaleofTwo Several weeks ago I did a roundtrip down to Redding, out to the coast & back up 199. The Shasta area looked pretty interesting and I expect is probably completely empty most of the time. I scouted some spots via Gaia but it's way too hot to go there now - maybe in October (Medford was 105*F yesterday - I went to Bear Basin Lookout)
@@TheKPDX we were there during a bit of a heatwave, it wasn’t too bad up in the mountains! I would definitely recommend getting out there, would have loved to stay longer
What's up from Othello, Wa and we have the same name haha
Ayyyy a fellow Winston! There’s dozens of us
Sign me up!
hi I really enjoy your video, I just moved here in Washington, I really wanna do overland I am a newbie, may I know where that is..? and how to get there,,? thank you your content inspired me
Hey Harry, this is the WA BDR route. If you check out the BDR website (ridebdr.com), you can find some more info there. I would recommend if you're new to this, check out some easier trails using OnX off-road or Trails off-road apps. The WABDR isn't super challenging, but you should definitely make sure you know what you're getting into before you head out there! We've got a good video on our channel going over how we find campsites, so definitely give that a watch if you haven't already! Happy exploring
What kind of keep is the red one? I am starting to get into this I was looking at an older Honda CR-V or older jeep
That’s a jeep Cherokee, not sure what year!
What route did you take??
love it how do you find these locations? got the addresses by chance?
You can find routes for the WABDR online, found these by just exploring! We’ve got a video on how you can get started with it: th-cam.com/video/ZWer_Vom9WM/w-d-xo.html
At 12:25 was it really as narrow as it looked in the video?
It was definitely narrow, but not pucker moment narrow. Just enough to make ya thinking about it 😅
Did you guys end passing by bethel ridge?
Hmmm, I’m not sure! Is that near Leavenworth?
Bethel Ridge is of of Section 2. Between Mt Rainier and Ellensburg
