thanks for the vid - that area toward Cle Elum sure has grown up with Suncadia but there still are lots of nice areas. Don't forget to stop at The Brick or get some jerky at Owens Meats.
Lots of good stuff to see in this area. I've seen lots of black bear here. Camp creek is nice, Paddy go easy pass is a great hike also. Gallagher head lake is nice also. I been going here since the 1970s
Hey I just clicked in from your comment on Conquest Overland's post. I really enjoyed this and I think it's very well put together. I look forward to watching more of your channel. I think I know exactly where those first puddle shots are. Cheers and thanks.
We were just out there for memorial weekend and a few weeks back. Even though it can get busy so many great spots and so beautiful! Glad we came across your channel 🤘🏻
Agreed! It's not the most remote, nor the least busy area ...., but it's a great one nonetheless! Welcome to the channel! By the way, I've seen a few of your videos as well and enjoyed 'em. Great work 👍
@@WheretoNextOverland no doubt, the closest areas we have are about 45 minutes west in the coast range. Mt Hood isn’t terribly far, but typically takes us about 3-4 hours to find a hood camp if we’re not going to an area we already know.
That’s definitely cle elum Washington you made it past salmon la sac area…good pick brotha. I hope you enjoyed the scenery and the little water passings as well they are awesome 😎
Wow! I've never seen that area that empty before! We usually hit it in January/Feb and again July/August. Judging by the river flow, snow remnants and pristinely graded road, I'm going to guess May but it could be a month either side of that Put Gallagher Head Lake on your ToDo List. I'd start with the Forest Road and consider the Jeep trail on a future trip. There's really just one crux point and your TLC should do fine. Scoring a campsite on the lake is hard but fantastic. To my surprise, we only had to share it with a backpacker on the other side of the lake when we went there one summer. Playing around Colockum and the Liberty area is nice too.
@@WheretoNextOverland I have an erratic work schedule and I'm often able to get our midweek - still pretty great. I love it when it's that empty - getting harder & harder to find, especially in WA
You've really had some fantastic drone work. I've found myself very slow on the learning curve and I'm utterly overwhelmed by the amount of data I find myself drowning in.
Thanks! Honestly, I use a very minimal amount of the features and settings possible. I just fly and focus on interesting movements and shot composition. I probably still don't know how to use half the features. Haha
Instant coffee is all we use. 😁 Keep up the good work on these videos guys. Maybe we’ll bump into you out there since we’re in the same neck of the woods.
Instant Coffee is one of those things that a ton of people use, but no one wants to admit they use. 🤣 For what it's worth .... sometimes I think the instant coffee I make turns out better than my percolator coffee 😬 Also, we appreciate the kind words. If you see us out on the trail, say hi!
We were at this site for Memorial Day last year. Can still see the sawdust from the trees we cut for our fire. And the spot we set up our hot tub haha.
Gorgeous area out there. Definitely gonna add to my list to explore. That was one rough looking spur road you went up, sometimes those lead to epic spots sometimes not, still gotta take the journey though.
Definitely recommend exploring in that area! And I totally agree about spur roads like that. Always an adventure not knowing where they lead, but when they pay off ... they REALLY pay off.
First time seeing your channel. I'm subscribing because there was no coffee grinding footage. I'm not a coffee drinker so the coffee segments are a total beat down for me...lol. I'm looking forward to exploring your past and future videos.
Well then .... I guess we'd better lean into the instant coffee even further. Gotta give the people what they want! Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel!
@@WheretoNextOverland after spending almost 15 hrs making a 1:48 intro for our channel, I certainly appreciate the time and skill it takes to put together a video. Yours are great. Keep it up!
@Subject : Adventure haha, yeah ... there's nothing like sitting down and editing video to make you truly appreciate what goes into editing a good video. Just checked out your channel and your video. Great job, ESPECIALLY for a first effort! Keep it up and keep the videos coming. Subbed!
That is one of my favorite areas to go in the warmer seasons into the fall. I go away from the river into the high country where there's no people. Good thing you didn't try going any further up because that goes to the infamous Fortunate Creek 4X4 trail and your car would have been ripped to shreds. My lifted F-150 barely made it all the way up there, it was extremely sketchy. Where you were filming was the easy part 😅. But, it's amazing and the views are great. Best of all... No people (typically). The lake up there also has great fishing.
We were there in late May last year and it was snow free (with a little bit of snow piled up here and there in the shade). I'd venture that this year it might be a bit later given the snowpack this winter (but that's just a guess)
Nope I’m a new. Subscriber because you had reminded me that I had a coffee in the living room, sweet❤ definitely continue to watch you I’ve subscribed and liked
I have watched a couple of your videos now and I have to say… such nice scenery. Way too much talking for me! But that creek with the waterfall, your campsite were awesome. It’s your videos to be sure, I just think less words would be better. You ought to try up about Republic, WA or white pass when you have more than a weekend. So much to see in Washington. Thank you for your videos!!! ❤️
Thank you for watching and for the feedback. We always appreciate constructive feedback on these videos. Republic (and the whole Northeast corner of WA) is definitely on our list and hopefully we'll be out that way exploring sometime! Thanks for watching (and putting up with all the talking 😉)
Rain? In Washington? I've got you beat on the coffee, I've become lazy enough to take those Stumptown Cold Brew Coffees with me now. While I prefer a hot coffee, it doesn't come easier than popping a cap off a bottle or can.
Do you share GPS coordinates to any of the sites you’ve stayed in? I want to start overland camping and this feels like one of the more accessible areas I’ve seen you share.
I'd guess maybe between 4-6. Not that many considering we were just off the "main" road. If you head up that way in the summer, your best bet is probably to go mid-week if at all possible. We got there on a Thursday and packed up Saturday morning. It was DEFINITELY getting busier on Saturday
I always have to comment when I see the "culinary school" side slice on onions that have rings. all onions have rings. cut radial slices and you get perfect dice and quicker.. hahahahahaha think spokes on a wheel?
Hey guys I had asked about GPS coordinates and I'm actually in roslyn, got here lastnight and could not find anyone that knew of this area.. I don't know where to go from here. Could you tell me what road your on and is it 970 out of roslyn?
Follow Salmon la sac road up past Cle Elum lake. Depending on current snow levels, you can continue further north along cle elum valley road for a bit. Keep your eyes out for dispersed spots along the road!
Haha, glad I'm not the only one! There are days where I like to make coffee in the percolator .... but there are just as many days where I just want coffee ASAP.
I stopped camping near running water after camping outside Tok Alaska,my dog started barking and heard movement next the tent, looking out I saw 4 sets of caribou eyes looking at me. I slept the rest of the night in my jeep.
Scared of everything much? 😂 deer, caribou and anything shy of a moose/elk is going to pretty much going to avoid you or look at you with curiosity. Nothing to be afraid of lol and if they’re around/close, predators are not.
@@710Overland I camped in bush of Alaska when I lived there. I have had brown bear walk with in 5 feet of my tent. Not scared just don't camp near running water so I can hear better.
I won't do coordinates .... BUT, I will tell you that if you follow the main FS road north of Roslyn, you'll likely stumble across many sites like this one (it's probably still snowed over right now though)
Sooo Seattle. Look. Just because you're from Seattle - or maybe a transplant from somewhere else - doesn't mean you need to brew'splain. Instant works just fine. I'm a 67 year native Seattleite. I use Folgers bags. I'm still alive.🤣
@@WheretoNextOverland Ha! Yeah, you almost lost me withthe firestarter! But, the pasta dish did the trick. Almost broke my nose on the screen. Nice rig, BTW. I'm just finishing up new brakes on my old 95 Grand Cherokee, getting ready for some semi-predictable weather. If I see you out there, I'll stop by for an instant java, ay? Cheers.
Nope instant coffee is a no go 🙅♂️ 😂. I spent a week in South Carolina and it was painful without having good coffee options. We use a Keurig when camping but a drip, pour over or French press is so much better!

I love your channel. I live in Western WA and it’s so cool to find people over here with common interests on TH-cam.
Thank you! Cheers 🍻
This is a beautiful find considering how close it is to the city. We haven't seen anything like it close to civilization. Nicely done ❤️
Thanks! We're definitely lucky to have such great access to wilderness so close to the city.
Definitely is incredible camping! Can't wait to get out that way! Love the sound of flowing water... Beautifu scenic video! 💙Terry and Terri
It is! Definitely worth exploring that area.
Nice footage and filmmaking, and it looks like ya'll had some good times, I hope to see you out there some time!

North of Roslyn up Cle Elum Valley Road / NF-4330. Lots of great spots to camp up there!
