Did you catch the video from earlier in the week about my new SUV?? th-cam.com/video/zBWOTpWIPRw/w-d-xo.html
I did. Bowser must of convinced you that he needed more room to sleep.
How is the new SUV coming along?
@@thomasdreke1698 😂 LOL. I had a similar thought.
@@thomasdreke1698 Lol you're not entirely wrong!
@@jamesrichardson1326 Great! Took it on its first trip over the past few days 👍
“Man, im tired”… goes to the sofa and lays down.” But this guy is tired and climbs THIS mountain? Incredible! IMHO, The plain well but well spoken commentary, interesting explanations, information, all the shots & views… just all around my favorite channel.
Totally agree!!
🤣 Yes, indeed, to the couch; he is truly incredible.
I'm pushing 80 and. as a Los Angelino, my extensive hiking has been in the Eastern Sierra. I discovered the Ruby Mountains rather late in life. While I still mark the Sierras as #1, a very close second is the Ruby range. This is the very best of your many excellent videos. I just wish my old frame could negotiate that "class 4" stuff. Oh to be you! Press on young man, you are a continuing inspiration to many of us armchair viewers. Thank you and God Bless.
Me: "I'm tired. I think I'll take a nap."
Him: "I'm tired. I think I'll scramble up a mountain."
I was holding my breath the whole time you were climbing the mountains. Beautiful sites, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Kathy!
Since 1995, I have traveled extensively in the West, visiting mostly wilderness areas, including many of those you have posted. Have been to Lamoille Canyon several times, but have never done serious climbing. Angel Lake is another beautiful spot, and the village of Jarbidge is a special place.
Beautiful
You say "piece of cake", I say "YIKES"! That comes from my fear of heights and loose rock. Truly gorgeous landscapes. Thanks for the ride.
Tristan , you’re truly a “ROCK STAR” after that scramble! Good job, again.
Tristan, I soak in and appreciate your calm understated excitement from the summit and also your admiration for the view and the adventure.
Thanks Robin. That's really nice of you to say!
I've always found that going down is more dangerous than going up. Getting wounded out there on your own is no picnic. Great stamina and narration!
Been waiting for this one for a while. One of my all time favorite places. Backpacked the Ruby Crest Trail out and back last year. They just recently had nine different landslides that closed the scenic drive around 2 miles in. The road is severely damaged and campers had to be evacuated. Just sharing in case anyone is thinking of going up there after this was posted, check ahead of time because access may still be blocked (mid August).
How recent were the landslides?
Oh no! This is a huge drag! What a gorgeous spot. @Tristan Thank you for this hike intro. I am psyched to check out Ruby Mts. Never knew about them. Stay safe out there.
I had no idea that Nevada had such a gorgeous place to explore. You make it look so doable as you are very fit, but it takes great skill and strength. I loved watching but held my breath until you were down. You have a mastery of describing how you are affected by the views of this beautiful world. Thanks for inviting me along😅
I had to fast forward through the climb Even though I was watching through a tv screen it made my spine tingle. Your one brace man. I was on edge which was stupid for me to be lol. Glad you make it back safe and sound
That hike looked perilous. What a gorgeous canyon! I have to say I appreciate you pronouncing apricot correctly, at least in my opinion hahaha
Thanks for showing us places we CAN hike to AND views of the places we CAN’T hike to. Wonderful!
Danger like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beautiful mountain and great hike.
Being afraid of falling from a high place always seems like a rational fear to me. Some of your shots gave me a little vertigo. Enjoyed watching. Don't know how far up I would have gone.
Me too. Had to turn away a few times.
After your last video driving through Tonopah I kind of speculated this is where you would end up next. The Ruby Mountains are beautiful! Really a hidden gem
Favorite part is the keyhole. Beautiful views that I could not see otherwise.
So glad you filmed steep climbing. Hoping it will keep many people away. As senior native Nevadan's from Northern NV which has become a CA bedroom suburb ....we try to keep our Ruby mountains a Secret. Many of us retired here for the peaceful serenity. And of course the Beauty.
The other end of the Rubies, near Wells, is much more Walkable, always green, great fishing and close to all of the Utah sights and wonders. Please consider filming that area for your followers who are not Mountain
Climbers. Thank you.
Omg you anticipated my thoughts at 9:00… “wow he’s going kinda far - i wonder if he just left it there until he came down?” Nope! Great video so far - had to laugh and comment when I saw that part tho!!
Lol thanks, I'm glad you liked that part! 😁
OMG! I am not a mountain climber so your hike up that steep rock made my stomach flip! Amazing video, I appreciate showing us chickens the view-WOW! I love your work & pleasure on YT!
Great video! through you i can climb these craggy mountains. scares me to death to watch. you need to one day visit the Jarbidge area. i delivered for UPS to this little old mining town for over 8 years and loved it every time i dropped into the canyon. Murphy Hot Springs begins the canyon adventure and the single lane-ish road to Jarbidge is beautiful following the Jarbidge river. good fishing! stay safe!
Yep he really needs to go there, hidden gem and as you say good fishing
Never say.."Good fishing"
Excellent video. Love you going through the key hole, and one last thing. I LOVE the music. You always seem to pick such Great music. This one was outstanding and uplifting. Now I'm going to watch you fishing, so I can see some more of the Ruby Mt's.
This is your best video ever! The scenery is spectacular. I don’t like heights, so I was worried for your safety the whole time! The video was posted, so I know you completed the trip safely. 😰 There was plenty of suspense.
Darn you Tristen! Once again you made my heart race and my palms sweat watching you climb up that mountain. The approaching view through the "keyhole" was a WOW moment. Wonderfully done. Keep up the great filming and adventures.
I agree.. lamoille is spectacular. I believe some locals call it the Swiss Alps of NV.
I've heard it called that and also the Yosemite of Nevada. Beautiful place, for sure!
Tristan some of your videos give me that vertigo feeling and this was one of them. Great job on that climb! What a view!
I'm amazed at your fearlessness of heights. I got dizzy watching you from my easy chair. Don't know how you do it.
Amazing and scary, Tristan! Time to go home and hug Cassie a little tighter! 😊
It is such a treat & also an honor to share your experiences hiking & climbing & camping. Your videos are absolutely spectacular! Thank you!
Hi Tristan, you are my window on places I’ll never be seeing for myself, alas.
You’ve also pushed me towards other expertises, like geologists and archeologists. In the past week I watched the whole GEOL 101 series (over 30 episodes) bij Nick Zentner. Now I have to rewatch all your previous video’s 😁😘
That's fantastic! I'll have to take a look at those myself.
@@SUVRVing Am not a shareholder, don’t want to push you - but this lecture might lure you into it: it’s about the trails of Yellowstone, a.o. throughput southeastern Idaho. th-cam.com/video/PlrNNzF_lRU/w-d-xo.html
I, too, have been watching Nick Zentner’s Geo 101 and many of his other videos and have fallen in love with Geology! Now, as I watch Tristan’s videos, I find myself trying to figure out how all the rocks and mountains were formed. Fun to know that Nick’s videos have affected others the same way! 😊
@@SUVRVing I have to agree with Margreet, Nick is a geology prof at Central Wash. U. and does a great job of teaching us newbies all about rocks...
love nick zentner as well
Love your vids and advice. Made the toilet you suggested and it worked great. One thing I learned from another couple was to use horse bedding pine pellets. I added the liquid as an experiment. Soaked it up right away, but the biggest surprise is when I went to smell it and all I smelt was pure pine. Not even a hint of nasty.
Good to know! Thanks Emer.
I was suffering a bad resurgence of ptsd when I watched this video. It helped me come back to a happy place. Thank you
Breathtaking views! Love the mountain climbing 😱 plus hiking.
I am really glad and excited to watch you climb this. At 62 with many health problems I couldn’t possibly do it myself.
Wow didn't know about Nevada having mountains learning so much about our country thanks
It's absolutely full of mountains. I think it actually might have more mountain ranges than any other state, though I'm not 100% positive on that.
Most beautiful! Great music as well. I flew with the crow up that big rock.
Hope you do go to Jarbidge. Hope I do as well. One year traveled by train from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City. Lots water and greenery behind the mountains.
The shot through the keyhole when you were ascending,,was a thing of glory. For beauty king of Nevada,,,,yeah! With Great Basin not too far behind.
That was a scary “climb” for me!! I just don’t know how you do it! 😁😅
Stay safe-your vids are awesome-informative and great photography. 👍🏻
Thank you!
Who'd ever thought this was Nevada? Beautiful valley & vistas!
Great climb with that keyhole treat near the summit!
Thank you!
I backpacked the Ruby Crest Trail last year. I chose the location back in 2015, as the area showed on a dark skies map. Our time at Overland Lake, which included swimming in the lake and watching the Milky Way, was one of my favorite nights of backpacking ever. If you had popped over the pass to Liberty Lake, you would have been rewarded with one of the best views of the Ruby Mountains. Yet another great video. Thank you.
Favorite part, the climb. I’m not afraid of heights, but, something in my psyche makes my knees weak and want to surrender to gravity. I love when you give names of lakes or land marks etc, then I follow the terrain on Google earth. 👀 I’ll commit to “one” of the most beautiful spots in Nevada not to be confused with “The”. 😀 You seem genuinely happy/at peace in this video.
Beautiful views here! Early morning sky was Royal Bllue! Lake Tahoe is lovely! Thank you for this trip!❤️😀🇺🇸🌏🚙
I love your videos because so often you go to places that I could hike to and really enjoy, And in videos like this you, fit and not afraid of heights you, can go the extra mile To clamber up these beautiful peaks that I would never do. I would totally visit and perhaps go to the notch, but I really enjoy your perspectives from going to the places I would be too scared to go. Thank you for your time and energy you put into these videos
Thanks Raewyn, that's really nice of you to say. I appreciate you watching.
I am afraid of heights and you sometimes make me have to look away. When I visited the Ruby Mountains and drove my new-to-me RV up to Angel Lake, I had to stay the night because the drive up scared me so badly. Had to gird my loins for the drive back down. LOL Anyway, I appreciate your videos so very much. Loved that arch reveal!
You really do inspire me to get out and do the things you do. (Except the rock climbing stuff 😳). Keep up the great content!
Amazing climb and views, this is so far my favorite of all your videos! My hands were sweating as I was watching you climb.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
As a college engineering student in the 1960s, I was on a U.S. Forest Service crew that surveyed the road up Lamoille Canyon. It is a spectacular place. It was definitely not crowded in those days.
Been to Nevada a number of times and loved Valley of Fire and the the desert, but those mountains will be marked on my trip map for the next time out there. Thanks for sharing and making me nervous for your safety. Can't believe what you do for fun. It was a beautiful valley.
So interesting that I came across this video from June that you just recently posted. I had a dream road trip to the Ruby Mountains planned starting August 5. When I arrived there, Lamoille Canyon Road was closed, blocked by a newly installed gate. There had been nine landslides following severe storms, and I don't think there are any new updates at to when the road will be re-opened. My dream was crushed! I loved seeing the spectacular views in your video, and great job on the class IV scramble up to that peak.
Lived in Elko for many years.(nearby town). I’ve hiked those mountains many times. It is very beautiful!!! Just a bit of history:
In 1994 Frank Wells ( president of Walt Disney Company) died in a helicopter accident (Lamoille Heliskiing Company) right in that range where you are located. He had just been skiing with Clint Eastwood about an hour earlier before the crash.
One other thing, I always felt so close to God while hiking there!
So glad you made this video. I’ve heard of these mountains, but did not know they were in possession of such interesting beauty.
The stones look loose.
Wow, beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. My fav part of the video was the view through the mountain keyhole.. I wish you could make each trip a Playlist I have trouble trying to follow each trip in order. Thanks again.
Wow! What astounding beauty. Thank you for taking us along.
Definitely pretty rad area, especially with the bonus of bagging a glacial horn peak! You got my vote as most beautiful place in NV. Deserts are very cool too! Nice to see some moisture still hanging around at that time of the year for the benefit of the wildlife.
Tristan - thanks for this! Way back in the early 80's I hiked to the lakes. Remember diving off a huge high rock into, I believe, Lamoille Lake. Never swam so fast in my life as the water was friggin' freezing. 😬😵
But what great memories! Thanks for taking me back.✌
I live in Overton which is down by the Valley of Fire State Park and Lake Mead NRA and I LOVE this state! I think many, when they think of Nevada, think of Vegas and Reno, but this state has so much more to offer. I hardly ever go to Vegas, but I do go to the desert often. I love camping. When I want to get away from it all, I'll head to the Basin and Range National Monument near Hiko and just get lost. I've been there and never seen another soul the whole time I spent there. I can't say enough good about Nevada!
Amazing filming. Loved the way it looked like we were climbing with you. Thanks for the adventures.
Never cross my mind to even google "Hiking in Nevada". Who would have known that Nevada has such a germ. What a very beautiful valley (trees, lakes, flat enough road for casual cycling, etc.). I would skip the top 1/3 of the mountain though. While I really enjoy the perspective view of Tristan's climbing the mountain, the GoPro view of Tristan on the ledge gives me vertigo every single time. The view at the hole and peak is truly breathtaking.
It really is a beautiful place! And thanks for powering through the GoPro sections 😁
My son lives in Elko, the Rubies are about 2 miles behind his house. What a view they have from their back deck! They take me to Lamoille on all my trips thefe...I love it in Lamoille Canyon!
You (and your sun) are lucky!
I about passed out sitting on my couch watching you climb that mountain. Great video, I just saved the GPS COORDINATES for our future trip from Vegas.
Looks awesome, would love to see you explore the Steen mountains in Oregon
Yes starkly beautiful place along with nearby Trout Creek Mountains and Pueblo Mountains, he would love the fishing over in the Owyhee Canyons area
Thank you for having me along! Favorite part: The keyhole for sure! I loved the stacked horizontal rock that made it up. It looked so different than the classic Utah arch made with smoother carved stone with those rose and light beige layers. On your mention of great Nevada natural areas, I love Red Rock Canyon. For beauty, it definitely evokes a stop-and-stare reaction from me in so many parts.
Ahhhh! Vertigo at 9:40 .. LOL I can't stand on ledges like that anymore. In my climbing days it was doable but that was years ago. Thanks for the tour .. I am keeping a list of places .. the canyon and the Ruby Mts .. Wonder Hussy was just up that way and made a video or two. 🤠
As I say after each video....simply awesome and stunning views, Tristan. The rock climbing looked like fun for you. I don't like heights well enough to do it myself but it was fun to do it with you. Looks like I have another addition to my bucket list!! It is definitely a gorgeous mountain range 😍 👌
Tristan: "I'm so tired." Then proceeds to hike up a difficult highly technical mountain backtracking with camera gear. Ooof! If that is how one should act when tired, then I am extremely lazy.
Dude, you have one of the best channels on TH-cam! Thanks for sharing!
Tristan, at the beginning of this trip to the Ruby Mtns when you said you thought they might be the most beautiful place in Nevada, I thought, “Oh!!! He hasn’t been to Jarbidge yet !!!”…., I LOVE Jarbidge!!!! My Uncle Don Mathias, was a Geologist and he did his Thesis on the Jarbidge Range and surrounding area…. He & my Aunt owned a cabin in Jarbidge and spent their Summers there for many years, as he was a High School teacher later in his career….Jarbidge is in a remarkable canyon and it is very beautiful as well as the surrounding areas, especially on top of Jarbidge mtn… a beautiful meadow full of wildflowers, and depending on the time of year you may be there, you might also encounter a Sheepherder and his sheep!!!! I always thought the Jarbidge Wilderness area was the most beautiful place in Nevada until I saw this video!!!! They are a tie for First place in my book…. I do think you need to visit there SOON or it may not be accessible soon, depending on the weather patterns..
I love going with you on your adventures!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
You can email me if you have any questions sallymilligan5@gmail.com
woah! you had me holding my breath there are a few moments during the ascent :) Great video with awesome music.
I love how you preceded the video saying you're tired and then hike parts of the mountain TWICE to get the far off shots of yourself. 🤣 Man... A+ on this one. Looks like a fantastic hike for those brave enough to do it without vertigo. 👍
Thanks for sharing the view from the top of the peak, it was amazing. We loved the music on your decent.
My favorite video of yours so far. Love all the info you provided along with the views!
Jeez...you kill me, you make this crazy stuff look effortless..beautiful place indeed. I've almost given up trying to rate the top places...they are all so spectacular and magnificent, and the criteria so subjective to mercurial things like your mood or weather or physical status at time of visit.
My favorite place to this point has been Greater Yellowstone....I can't really separate the Tetons, Beartooth, Absarokas, Wind Rivers, Gros Ventre and Yellowstone in my mind, to me they are just one giant slice of heaven.
I've been in that area but on the east side of the mountains. We got there from Elko. Nice camping and a short hike to a pretty lake.
Thanks for taking us along. Awesome views. Great videos.
The Rubies are absolutely stunning, but the most beautiful place in Nevada is Valley of Fire. In fact, it's literally my favorite place in the world. You'd really love hiking up to Top of the World Arch, or across Fault Mesa, down through the Drop Slot into the Wilderness Pinnacles. And underrated Nevada has many, many more spectacular places off the well-trodden track.
Your videos never disappoint me. Seriously. I wasn't aware that Nevada has such beauty! Certainly have placed it on my must explore list further up in priorities! I plan on putting my membership in Adventure Know How to use starting in Sept. Do some more Blue Lining...but with better info!
Outstanding, Tristan. Just mind blowing view thru that keyhole...whew.
Thanks Michael! The keyhole really was spectacular. Definitely a unique kind of feature. Thanks for watching!
Great climb and views and another great video I really, really enjoyed. Did you see any of the Himalayan Snowcocks during your hike in the Ruby Mtns? Neat birds. Anyway, I'm kind of partial to the Jarbidge Mountains and am curious about a peak named the Matterhorn which is the highest point of the Jarbidge Mountains. I'm not a climber but would sure like to see a video of the Jarbidge Mountains and the Matterhorn...
Yes, Jarbidge is wilder, less known and incredibly beautiful!
Seriously some amazing views but a pretty challenging hike! Thanks for sharing, those cliff shots were a little terrifying 😂 for a non-technical climb.
Whew what a view! You are braver than I will ever be. That was a scary climb!
Thanks for sharing this with us. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS! a little scary but Beautiful!
I was hoping you'd fly the drone around yourself from the peak ! Excellent as always .
What a view that you have me. I could never do that hike myself so thank you
You are always going places I've never heard of and always influencing my bucket list. Thank you!
This is one of my favorite excursions you have shared with us. Thanks for letting the world know how beautiful my state is, more than just Las Vegas. This video is spectacular 😊
😱😱😱That was absolutely phenomenal👍I will check this area out for sure just at a lower altitude😌As always just the best🌟
Ive hiked there-beautiful! The Rubies, Great Basin NP, Red Rock cyn, Mt Charleston are probably the best in Nevada for mountain folk
Tristan, Lamoille Canyon is a great destination - a beautiful place. But there is another aspect to Lamoille Canyon that is less obvious.
And that is that Lamoille Canyon is transformed during fall color season. We visited Lamoille Canyon at the very beginning of October and we were probably about 5 days beyond the absolute peak in fall color. Nonetheless that fall color made the canyon simply fantastic with LOTS of yellow, orange and red all over. Unforgettable. Go there during this seasonal period - you will not regret it
Even for a mountain biker like myself that hike is so gnarly. Fantastic.
Love the rubies. Wouldn’t do the hike you did but have done island lake, lamoille etc. June trip camped at Thomas canyon then drove thru jiggs to ruby lake. That is an awesome drive.
Google informs me that these mountains were formed during continental extension when a detachment fault drags ductilely deformed middle and lower continental crust up exposed as upper continental crust extends. No glacial action involved.
Beautiful area and a nice video with great views. Thanks!
I had sweaty hands just watching! WOW! How do you give this video a thumbs down! Another awesome video and you make it look easy and its NOT!
Thanks Bogart! I get all sorts of thumbs down on my videos, and it's not something I worry about. Can't please everyone!
What a great climb! I even felt a bit queasy watching your accent. I’m hoping to take that scenic drive after Labor Day and do some hiking in that area. I see that some of the road is now closed due to damage from recent slides. Hopefully it will be open by then. Did you camp in the area? Thanks for the great video!!!
Watching you climb that rugged mountain makes me think YOU'RE CRAZY! lol. But the views are spectacular
I agree it's probably the most beautiful place in Nevada. That opening shot there doesn't even look like Nevada. It looks more like Colorado or Montana. But once you got up on top, it definitely looks like Nevada. That was a nice climb. ⛰😎👍☮️
What impresses me most, is that by the time you film this, you've climbed good parts of the route, several times!
Dried apricots happen to be my favorite trail snack. Nice job Tristan.🌿
Just beautiful. My wife and I now cast your videos to the TV to watch after dinner. It's our \favorite show!
The keyhole looks like it ought to be the entrance to a new dimension or game level or something So beautiful
Hey Tristan - This was a great hike and climb. I felt like I was with you especially on the climb. Each time you looked down my vertigo became active. Great video my friend.
