My heart smiled at Amelia's door and view over that river. Let me explain: when she was much younger, she would climb onto her family's roof and look east over the Missouri at Atchison, Ks., and see herself flying over it like the eagles that lived there. It is known that it inspired her for the rest of her life. That cabin door and overlook was surely a reminder of that. You go, Amelia :)
She went!
It lead to hear early death too. I hope it was worth it.
She chose to live among eagles rather than a mere mortal. I always admired her sense of adventure!!
Real neat insight... thanks. I'm the kind of person that likes history, historical facts... and a complete backstop. Your little tid bit, is really neat peice of history... a missing piece if you will. Thanks again.
I should also note much of the old city of Atchison is built on high bluffs overlooking the Missouri on the Kansas side, and the sun would rise east, hitting the city and house before the lands and river below and over the flood plains on the Missouri side.
Very cool to see it all again.
So, here is some more backstory. My grandfather, Carl M Dunrud was the one building the cabin for Amelia Earhart.
He was born in 1891, and left home in Minnesota at a young age to find adventure out west. He worked ranches for a while and was a horse trainer/vet for cavalry horses during WWI. When the war ended he went to Yellowstone and fell in love with the place. He started leading pack trips into the Park in 1919 and in 1920 or so became a Ranger, still leading dudes into the park. On one of these trips George Palmer Putnam was one of the dudes. Anyway, he and my grandfather hit it off. In 1925, Putnam invited him out to New York and ultimately this led to Dunrud going on an Arctic voyage captained by Bob Bartlett, who had been Peary's captain. But that is a different story:
th-cam.com/video/-xhIHFKVDzU/w-d-xo.html
In 1928, My grandfather and his partner build the Double Dee ranch, which is about 5 miles below where Amelia's cabin is located. They ran it until 1940. As you mentioned, in 1924, Amelia Earhart visited and fell in love with the place.

Next time you should consider going up further into the mountains. There are some spectacular views along Dunrud Pass, where my grandfather used to take the Dudes on pack trips.

That’s a really interesting story. Thank you for sharing
Your Grandfather sounds amazing 🇺🇸👍🏻
Tristan, you have remarked that videography is not an emphasis of what you're doing here. But, as a videographer, I can't help but notice just how epic your drone shots have become, the added perspective of GoPro dashboard footage, and last but not least, your mastery of the selfie stick. The change of hand at 9:00 was very slick. Polished. As to attention to detail, most of us would have missed the horseshoe gate lock. Still, content remains the point of your work. That's what brings us back. Thanks for sharing.
This one was especially fascinating to me. Back in 1980 and 1981 I worked in the Four Bear Oil Field, which was just a little north of here, but I never had any idea about the Amelia Earhart cabin. I got my first 4WD vehicle back then and would just follow roads to explore them and see where they went, but this is one I never explored. Now I want to go back, even though I live more than 1000 miles away. I would come across lots of 1800s-era cabins back then, but never had any knowledge of their history.
The cabin site is remote today but imagine what it took to get there in the 30's! That was an amazing opening drone shot as well!
Horses, I'd imagine..
Was there any place to land a plane?
Pretty sure they rode a horse in. And the only reason she would have wanted a place like that was to get away from other people. You know the type. They obsess over famous people. Never mind whether they have accomplishments or not. The media makes a big to do about them and all of a sudden they have followers and sycophants
@@pinkiesue849 you can land a plane anywhere. I believe it's one of the laws of gravity. However it doesn't mean you'll ever fly it again or even survive said Landing.
So beautiful!
I can see why Amelia wanted to build a cabin where she did.... That area is amazing. 😍
I still wouldn't live there alone.
Even when Amelia wasn't lost, she was close. That lady was a wanderer fer sure. Great segment. Must say, that country does look mighty Squatchy.
Yes, more exploration is definitely called for in that area! Though only a few logs remain it was very touching to see the beautiful spot she wanted to spend time.
After moving from a lifetime spent in cities to a rural area I'll never forget the first night I heard a fox screaming. It was horrifying and haunting & still creeps me out! Safe travels to ya!
Kind of made you miss the gunshots off in the distance.
A screaming fox has sent many a person scrambling for a car 😂
Wow your hiking and rock climbing skills are amazing. I also appreciate you taking us to places I previously would not consider visiting. So inspiring!
Thanks for coming along, Peggy!
I couldn't feel any "inspiration" because the photography triggered me. What gorgeous and scary footage!!
I have to give you super respect for all the videography work, camera setup. Trekking back and forth(I assume you do this solo), so just know we notice and appreciate your amazing work. Thanks for the amazing views.
Editing would polish it up to be much better. Five minutes of content does not make a good 15+ minute video.
And the negative comments about Amelia's life and accomplishments by some twit that probably can't drive a car very well....its sad. But another commenter got it straight. Once these aholes are dead in 10 years no one will think, speak or recall them. Yet today we remember a young woman who dared to live her dream.
But- Haters hate that's all they know. If it hadn't been for them " I would have never known Santa Klas was far, Easter bunny is gay and Zorro was not a real Mexican.
What world.....
I hate when they walk past the camera just to show us them walking. The amount of work setting up and going back for the camera isn’t worth it to me
@@jeremyking3986I always like those parts lol
@@jimmyharrison1864did the guy who made the video say the part at the end or someone else?
That view from the top of the mountain is fantastic. I don't think I've ever seen one better.
Love watching Tristin. If you like these views you should watch foresty forest. Man he’s one awesome climber and the drone shots are epic
@@debbiblakeslee2373
I watch him too. He great too
You got to thank the invention of the personal drones. Without that you'd need a helicopter to get such a shot. Amazing footage to enhance the experience of Mother Nature.
Every time I think your adventuring has "peaked" you outdo yourself! Thanks for continuing to raise the bar!
Thanks Lorenzo! 😁
Little tidbit, there was a ranch in Meeteese where a small pack of once-thought-extinct black-footed ferrets were found in 1981. Biologists collected them and put them in captivity. My cousin is a biologist with Prairie Wildlife Research who is reintroducing them into the wild. But yeah, Meeteese is where it all began!
Huh, really? That's fascinating. Who would have thought? Thanks Barbara.
Awesome !
I am old enough to remember as a kid when they thought they were extinct
Yeah, it was funny how it came about. I found a cousin I never knew about thru Ancestry years ago. (Travis Livieri and he's with Prairie Wildlife Research.) We started communicating and he told me about what he did and I learned not only about a new cousin, but an animal I had never heard of before. If you search in TH-cam for Travis Livieri you'll see a few black - footed ferret videos from like Nat Geo and other wildlife entities. It's very interesting.
Cool!
Those are some epic drone shots at the beginning with you standing on top of the mountain! Absolutely gorgeous! Just please do not get yourself hurt out there trying to get them! Stay safe! There are so many scary stories of people trying to get photos and they end up falling. I always try to keep those in mind when I am climbing in dangerous places so that I am extra careful. This was really an interesting video though to see where she had hoped to have a summer home. Wish there were not so many dead trees out west - it ruins so many gorgeous spots! Thank you for sharing!
Here in Washington State, we have millions of trees, but they do not suffer much from those beetles...I would think Forestry officials would spray those trees...then again, maybe that just does not work.
@@curbozerboomer1773 The pine beetle has wreacked (wroke?) havoc from Alaska to New Mexico and perhaps into Mexico. I'm glad to hear Washington State has been spared to some extent.
Depending on the type of tree it is and the time of year it might be a naturally occurring event, kind of like a deciduous tree losing its leaves.
Not a climber. Just a mother. My stomach drops(😬) when I see you climbing. You did an earlier video that I never finished. The views are fantastic.
A "mother" named Stan??
I get anxious watching him sometimes too.
I feel you. I once asked him if it makes his wife nervous. I will say that I think it looks worse on video but yes, those rocks falling down the mountain made me again think of Cassie!
Steaming logs in the morning sun, just one of many amazing shots. I'm only a minute or two into the video & I'm already particularly taken by the artfully captured images... not to mention the opening!! Had to comment.
Perfect timing! This is the start of a 2 week vacation and I was kicking around the idea of not going anywhere due to my travel companion just having a little surgery (he’s a 13 yo hound dog). His vet says he’s good to go so you’ve inspired me to head out! Thank you!
That's great to hear! Have fun you two 😁
@SUV RVing, Amelia Earhart is such a n iconic part of America’s history. As a young girl, I read every book I could get my hands on to learn more about her. Hers was such an inspiring and heartbreaking story. I thought she must have been the coolest person ever. Thanks for this video. I am awes by the scenery you share, and that cliff? Nope. Uhuh! No Way!! I can’t believe you climb those things on your own. Please stay safe out there!!!
Will do 😁
That was awesome - love when you hit nostalgic historic places ❤
Loved it! I caught myself quickly clicking through a commercial because I "didn't have the time" since it was going to be getting dark soon. I grew up on a river and fell asleep most nights listening to bobcats screaming from the other side. So many terrified nights I imagined them crossing the river and showing up outside my bedroom window. Many years later as an adult on that same river we were visited by something dark, scary and smelly for a few months. Florida Skunk Ape possibly? We never saw it until he started showing up in our nightmares. For me he had piercing yellow eyes that just locked on me with no escape. Another neighbor saw him big and ape like with goat heads coming from the armpits, possibly because the smell of a wet goat permeated the woods from time to time. To alleviate our growing paranoia we named him Arnie. And to encapsulate Arnie into a safe place in our wrecked psyches I wrote him into a poem naturally. Its called, Ode to Arnie and I'll see if I can recall it....
As these curious shadows arise and fall,
Your legend, dear Arnie, looms large and tall.
A covert presence, never seen only heard
Casts little doubt on your tale of scourge.
Some gruesome beast of nightmarish guise,
I foster the screams of your prey's demise.
Crying that trails from moans to whimper,
Mournful sounds that only death could temper.
And as I walk so alone this evening,
It is these thoughts that keep me thinking.
For I know it is you that creeps behind
Where in this darkness I cannot find.
Has my passage grasped your gaze
And set it upon my timid craze?
I stifle this urge to quicken my haste
To do so I'm certain would summon your chase.
Attending my lot with equable measure
Surely evokes you no displeasure?
And yet, an odious furor encroaches my back.
Exhorting my will of your illicit attack.
Oh be damned you miserable creature of night,
Leave me alone with my tortured fright!
But no, this is not the game to be played
My curse befalls to honor in this charade
For it seems to be me who is deemed to be damned
And my last breath.....
To be at your command (gasp!)
I like to share it this time of year so thanks for lending me your cause🍁 And now you know why I clicked though those commercials to quickly get back to safety before dark😄
I will definitely see those mountains!
Wonderful lyrics in your "Ode to Arnie."
Robert Service has reincarnated.
Wonderful Tristan thank you, I know it takes a lot of effort to make these videos, it made me happy. Be safe.
Loving your adventure videos with lots of stories. They are interesting and beautifully filmed. Yes, I can also see how Amelia would have loved the height aspect of her cabin. You've taken me places I never knew existed (being in Australia!). Thank you.
That opening aerial shot was rather epic!
What a neat, neat, place. Very rugged and beautiful. That kind of epitomizes the old mountain West to me. Thanks!
Spectacular mountain top scenery Tristan! Just when I think you out did yourself, you come back with more! Amelia's cabin was bit of a let down, for me anyway. Thanks for the video!
Beautiful mountains, meandering river, history lesson on Amelia Earhart’s summer cabin construction & best of all your drive in with the deer & cattle 🐄! And the weird scream you heard😱😱😱Great trip!❤
Really cool shot from ur drone shooting u standing on top of dat pile of stone.
Great video. I enjoyed seeing the rugged landscape, but I also liked the history lesson concerning Amelia Erhardt. We seem to be going through a phase right now in the country of trying to forget about some of our history...which is a shame.
They are doing the same in Australia ..it's terrible .
How do you NOT get lost! 🙌🏼😂💯 Great video! Loved this adventure of yours! Rock climbing on those loose rocks…. 😳😬
This video and all the history, a really a great video, Loved it all. 😃🙌🏼💯
Another of my favorites Tristan. My favorite was your climb up Sublette Peak - you are still an animal. I can hardly wait for your next video because you are getting close to my stomping grounds. Thanks for mentioning Kirwin. It looks like there are several trails within my capability.
1:42 .... Oh HELL no! I'm glad you took me there, cause no way in hell this old man is climbing any rock faces.
Lol you and me both haha
My favorite part of the video was the whole video! Greatly appreciate you doing these videos, beautiful to see the areas you take us to, and very educational at that. Thank you again...looking forward to your next video!
Loved views and history of log cabin....great morning story!!
Thank you for all youdo to keep us entertained. I dont comment much but have watched for years, as a senior (74) you have taken me places i only could dream of. Thank you again
This is one of your best videos. Amelia sure found a pretty place for her cabin. So tragic that she didn’t get to enjoy it. ✈️
Great video as usual! Very cool to see Amelia Erhardt's cabin. That was my favorite part. Plus the views you post are breathtaking. I love camping but I can't hike much due to a mobility disability and I lose my balance way too easy, so I count on you and your videos to see views I wouldn't see otherwise. Thank you for all you do.
O M G.... This may be one of the most stunning videos you've ever made. That view was... speechless.
"Fox's wild run" is something I've only heard once in my life. I'd have sworn that fox had risen from the dead just to exact revenge on the mountain lion that killed it. Loud, long lasting, and chilling.
One of my favorite videos especially the drone footage. Also, liked the Earhart cabin visit.
What beautiful scenery. Thanks so much for sharing Tristan. 💚
Excellent! Keep doing what you are doing, Tristan. 🌲
I'm a traveling nomadic professional photographer . I absolutely love your adventures, but... every time I watch I'm like, "Yeah, I'm not doing that." 😅 I want to, but... Can anyone else relate?
Yep, I love hiking and everything outdoors but unfortunately I have zero sense of balance. I can trip walking across a flat concrete floor so no rock scrambling for me. I always use a walking stick or trekking poles when going up anything more than a slight incline.
Yes, I can relate. I got PINS and NEEDLES watching him climb that mountain.
@@kent_moore I can relate to you for sure and I love photography also. Balance is not my strong point lol
Yea I’m not doing any of this
I was just thinking the same than starting evil laughing when he mentioned high pitch screams on his walk back. my imagination would go wild being completely solitary out there. imagine stumbling on someone walking on a road in the middle of the night.
Your videos are always so interesting and informative. Love it.
Your videos have given me a lot more interest in Wyoming than I had before. Hope to explore there someday.
Always love your videos. Think you are a little risky in climbing mountains by yourself, but you always seem to make it without hurting yourself. Stay safe so we all can continue to view your videos.
Liked the video. I drove from Cody, Wyoming to Rock Springs, Wyoming back in 1994 and passed through this area. It was great to see the area on foot instead of seeing it while blasting down the highway. Also, I remember watching an episode of "This Old House" many years ago that had Norm Abrams packing in on horseback with some Forest Service workers. Their goal was to do some maintenance work on some backcountry cabins. Forest Service rules require that no power tools were allowed, only hand tools. They packed in from Meteetse on horses and mules.
Oh man that drone footage from the top of that peak! Incredible Tristan, thanks for sharing. I always look forward to your videos every Sat morning
You gotta love Wyoming!! Great scenes. Thanks for respecting so much that is amazingly beautiful about the state. You’re right about the bark beetle. To see before and after photos of forest lands is just heart breaking.
Loved those epic drone shots when you were on top of the Sublette mountains. Seems like a hidden gem out there that people don't get to see. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure!
Epic mountain views, you never fail to impress. That is a beautiful mountain range.
I would add that those of you who haven't followed Tristan for a while. He's an experienced rock climber (for over a decade I believe) so if you plan to climb that mountain be careful.
The beginning shot was so beautiful and like nothing I've ever seen on any video, it looked fake, then when the drone flew over top of you, it was breath taking! I have watched every single one of your videos and that beginning scene has to be your top EVER shot! You show us places we never would know existed in USA. Thanks! I was thinking, Oh I want to go there until I saw you climbing up those steep loose rocks! I'll just settle for enjoying it from your point of view. All I kept thinking was how they heck is he going to get down from there? Glad the other side wasn't so steep! I love your videos!
Man those views are BEYOND AMAZING. I’ve been fortunate enough to see landscapes like that myself.
Thanks for these videos!! I love backpacking but have to drive at least a full day across the plains to get to the Rockies. My mindset is always go, go, go when driving but you’re making me rethink…slow down and enjoy the drive! Or drive through the plains at night then slow down and enjoy the drive into the mountains
Thank you for recording, editing, and sharing your adventures. Due to health issues, some of my greatest adventures are trips to medical specialists. Nothing like what I want to do and what you do do. What I am trying to say is thank you for being the explorer that I can't be. Please don't stop. You are greatly appreciated.
Wyoming WOW if l could handle the winter cold and snow wouldn't mind living there.
Your views were spectacular, you have shown us so much beauty of the western US I would never see and in a very up close and personable way. I don't know if everyone has climbed to appreciate the effort it takes on the body. Thanks again
Very cool hike. I do enjoy the history lessons, keep it up! Such a beautiful area, I can see why Emilia chose that location. Thanks for taking us along, look forward to the next one.
Thanks Susan!
I like your straight to the point information narration of the more interesting aspects of the hike. Moreover, understanding that your viewers are tuned into the adventure every step of the way. I was interested in seeing Amelia Earhart's cabin and learning how she chose that remote location.
Epic drone shot early on of you standing on the peak. Never knew about Amelia's cabin. There's song about her, a bit of a montage about her along with the live performance, if you search youtube for 'Joni Mitchell - Amelia (Live 1979)'. Happy trails!
I've never spent a lot of time in Wyoming, but I'll have to correct that, the scenery is amazing!
It really is! Outside of the national parks, it's super underrated
You started your video near Brooks Lake - one of the most spectacular camping spots in the area. Touring the forestry roads south of Brooks Lake is like exploring your own national park with views and animals. I wish you would have taken more time to explore that area since we couldn't make it out there this season. And your map 0:25 shows Colorado, not Wyoming. Awesome videos - take your time please!!!! 😊
I loved this video! Such gorgeous land in Wyoming. Thank you for making such amazing content!
Man your exploits are epic! Your knack for solo exploration is admirable. If I get the chance to explore the natural world for just a fraction of what you have I’ll be a happy man. Thanks for taking us along!
Western Wyoming is a Target area for me, again. Minus the rock climbing...so Beautiful!
Great video as usual, beautiful landscapes. The first few minutes I freaked out and gasped a few times when you were scaling that rock peak, I'm afraid of heights and get so worried you're gonna fall!
Love the old outhouse..☺..most beautiful trail...Thanks, stay safe and keep going
Wow! So many places like this to see outside of our National Parks. Great video with georgous views.
I loved it all. But the drive to the town you visited was most enjoyable to me. It was sped up, but seeing all the animals that crossed your path and the water you drove through, etc. Of course the view from the mountain top! Was just fantastic.
I really loved your video. Thank you so much for sharing. I love learning about Amelia Earhart. I'm going to take this road trip myself to check out her cabin. I love history. Thanks so much! I appreciate you sharing this about her.
Man that loose rock in the beginning had me a little tense. Glad we get to tag along and share the exploration. Beautiful country out there.
Super beautiful and informative start to our Saturday morning. Great part of Wyoming! Spectacular video as always..
Great video Tristan! Thanks for taking us along. Hope you’re able to go back next year 👍
Thank you, Tristan. Your vlogs are informative, exciting, funny, and awe inspiring. Your intelligence and physical fitness takes the audience to amazing places. Love Wyoming, and all the places you travel to. Always waiting for the next adventure!
A new favorite! Awesome photography, and daredevil climbing, thanks for the thrills!
Amazing video!! The POV climbing looked dangerous. I was just thinking with all the exploring you do you never have claimed to see Bigfoot. Lol
It made me very nervous to watch him climb that crumbly breccia I think Tristan put his life at risk unnecessarily. Also walking out onto rocks jutting out on the edge is even more hazardous. They look solid and stable but may have just been waiting to fall away sending you down the cliff. It happens all the time
Wow - the drone footage of you standing on top of the mountain. Amazing.
Spectacular! Thank you for taking us to all these wonderful places.
I think it's so cool how you find all these little hidden away nooks to take us with you on! The amount of adventures you've done "just" in the western US is amazing, do you think you'll ever make some trips to the eastern states? :)
Wyoming continues to surprise me with its awesome scenery...if the winters weren't so long and cold there I really would consider living there.
You've obviously never looked for housing there. They dont just let people move there. Wyoming has stayed natural because they dont just sell to everyone.
Land is extremely expensive if you can even find some
it keeps the riff raff out 💗🙏
@@MsQ275 LOL, oh theres riff raff in WY. Lived there a good portion of my young life. Wonderfully beautiful scenery and plenty of space but people are people no matter where you go. There's so called riff raff no matter where you live. The key to WY is that since it's so sparcely populated you statistically have to deal with less of whatever kind of people are living there lol.
I'm a hothouse flower, and I love it in Wyoming. I used to live in Florida, and I found that winter in Wyoming is no worse than summer in Florida. You just go from heated space to heated space instead of air conditioned and cooled space. I can't imagine living anywhere else.
Yes I have also looked at Wyoming as a place to retreat. Sadly, as an older dude. I don’t think its such a grand idea to take on the wrath of Mother Nature either! I’m pretty spoiled. One slip and fall and I’d be broken in someway 😮
Visiting is my thought.
Foxes, bobcats and cougars all make otherworldly sounds. Check all of those out to see if one of them matches what you heard. Great trip! Thanks for sharing!
Per usual, your video is fantastic, Tristan! The videography, presentation, and drone footage is so well-done and beautiful. The shot of you standing on the peak is iconic. Time for you to have your own show on the Nat Geo channel or something. I'm guessing the "screams" are from a female mountain lion looking for a late-night rendezvous but who knows, could be a Sasquatch on the prowl too. 😉
Thanks for the kind words, Vanessa!
I've heard the female mountain lion scream before while riding horse. Bone chilling like a woman screaming in terror, and the horse said, nope, not going that way!
Quite an adventure 👍😳🤗🤔. Beautiful. I definitely could not do the rock/mountain climbing you do. Can see why Amelia Earhart would love the area.... peaceful and exciting at the same time. Thank you.
Title says Northwest Wyoming but the map shows Northwest Colorado
I came to comment the same thing! I guess Wyoming and Colorado changed places lol
Ditto- I had to rewind and double check. Colorado native here. Maybe the altitude got to him. None the less beautiful!
Noticed that as well!
I thought it was north-west Colorado on the map, but what a beautiful place can wait for next video....stay safe.
I agree, I thought, that does not look like Flaming Gorge.... Wyoming is above Colorado. 10 miles south on 26/287 is Brooks Lake Creek Falls that is a easy hike.
Thanks for showing that cabin, a great piece of history there. And as always, some great drone work. I think you've inspired me to go for the 107. (Yes I saw your video on that) Thanks
Hey Tristan, that opening drone sequence was breath taking, a stunning cinematic quality sequence. Your video and editing skills are superb. Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it. Good job.
Cool opening but you've go the wrong state on the map! 😂
Yep. 🙄
Tristan, Spectacular country, your videography was spot on. 👌 Thank you! 🌲🌲🌲
Western Wyoming is just stunning! Definitely need to spend some time there.
Great video, combining two of my passions, the outdoors and history. I never knew that about Amelia. Thanks for sharing.
Tristan, I often wondered if you keep someone informed of your location while on one of your adventures. If you were injured on a hike or climb it would be important for someone to know where you were and what time to expect your return. Thank you for all the adventures you share with us.
He does. I had to ask that once myself being a Mom.
@@teresadofredo9908 thanks for the info Teresa. The climb he did up that rocky mountain made me a little nervous for his safety.
I really enjoyed this video Tristan. So excited for you with the land cruiser. Loved that valley. Seemed like it had good vibes there.
Wow! What scenery! And to think you walked where Amelia did, such a mysterious woman and people still trying to find what happened to her.
Yep, very interesting person indeed!
Meeteetse is where the last few Blackfooted Ferrets were found. A ranch dog had brought a ferret to it's owner in 1981. Beautiful scenary!
I enjoy living vicariously through your videos. Especially some of the climbing you do. I’m doing another Canyon Rafting trip next year after I retire. I’m going to give the SUV RVing a try and do a little camping and exploring as well.
Nice! Let me know how it goes 👍
Truly awesome trip! I first saw the Grand Tetons in 1958 when I was nine, the oldest of 4 kids. All of our family vacations were camping & hiking trips from home in Indiana to all over the country. Dad would say oh look, there's a trail/path/dirt road, I wonder where it goes. .. mom's answer was a groan, as off we went. At 18, I moved to the mountains and deserts of the West that had kept calling to me since childhood. And up til now I've continued answering the urge to see it all, as have my 3 siblings, while at the same time learning that a lifetime isn't long enough to see it all. It's a bittersweet truth but also one that makes me extremely grateful for each vista I've seen and every trail traveled. I just discovered your channel and I must tell you, it feels like home! Thank you so much for adding experiences that I haven't gotten to yet (and may never have enough time to).
A thought about the eerie animal sound you heard: hunters, trackers and natives swear that the most otherworldly noise in all of nature is the high-pitched, blood-curdling scream of a female mountain lion. She may be miles away but the echo throughout canyons and cliffs can make it sound like she's right at your door. That's how I describe it too. Some tribes say that if - upon hearing it - you wonder if you may possibly need to change your pants, then it's indeed a female mountain lion or its lost spirit. Cheers!
Another great video and yes the scenery is gorgeous in all directions around those mountains. The mine shaft wow! I’m surprised they didn’t have it more secured. Amelia’s not to happen “Dream Cabin” must have seemed a bit eerie kinda like the truck that was jammed killing those three men. Thanks again Tristan for sharing your love of the outdoor adventures. Hike on👍🏻👍🏻
I am so glad I found your channel Tristan, you are giving me oodles of places to put on my bucket list for my next long road trip!! Thank you!
Great vid thank you😊
I love when you talk to us as you walk. So neat to hear what is interesting to you, it's like a tour guide. I appreciate it. What I don't like is the small parts where you put the camera down to video tape you walking, because I know then you have to walk back and get that camera unless you plant the drone and then turn and bring the drone back to you. It makes me tired out knowing you have to go back and fetch that camera. I think I would enjoy it more if you just on and off showed like the go pro when you are climbing. The scenery is so spectacular. I'm an artist and I love the old paintings of the western mountain scenes done by the Impressionist that ventured there. Love your videos 💖
So many stories out there of weird human/animal sightings. I've always wondered, with all your wilderness adventures, if you've had any creepy encounters. I think this is the first one you've mentioned in your videos.
