    Thanks for posting the video! I fished just up river from Pleasure Park a few years ago. It was my first time fishing a river west of the Mississippi. Your video brought back some good memories!

      @@TheRustedTrout how long hiking out? Already know it’s harder😅👍

    • @TheRustedTrout
      @TheRustedTrout  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It was actually pretty similar. The downhill with the pack was actually slower just being careful. More effort to go up the steep sections though.

    Looks like a great trip! We went down the Warner route early June last year. What route did you take? Was there a few good camping spots with trees?

      Red rock. There are a few camp spots with trees. I haven't done any of the other routes yet. It's a pretty awesome experience.

    What trail did you hike in on and how dangerous was the hike. I'm 70 and in good shape but I still need to choice wisely.

    • @TheRustedTrout
      @TheRustedTrout  ปีที่แล้ว

      We passed a guy when we were going out that was probably 60+ doing a day trip. He said he's done the trip 70-80 times since the nineties. Its definitely steep, loose, and rocky in places and you have to cross the stream through some tall plants multiple times. Definitely would want to start early so you could take your time and get down before the sun hits the exposed parts. The heavy pack is really what makes it harder. No cell service. Would definitely want to be with a trusted group and be well prepared.

      Thanks. That's great to hear. I'll probably get up camping on the ark in the next few weekends or so.

    Was this the gorge or the canyon? Looks like Duncan or Ute. Epic fish either way!

      This is in the canyon. Those other trails in the gorge are definitely on my list though.

      Music is always hard. It never pleases eveyone. The music cuts after 45 seconds on each of these black canyon videos. Next time I'll just do a normal talking intro.
