Oregon's Hidden Gems: Succor Creek & Leslie Gulch

Ah, this video made me cry. My childhood friend and I loved the Owyhee mountains growing up. We'd go there whenever we could as adults. Sadly, we went our own way and didn't get to go there as much in our younger years. He passed in 2019 at the young age of 45. We never got to go back again, together. This video brings me comfort. Thank you.

Awesome!! At 4:41 minutes in there’s a “Rock Bird/Dove” 🕊️wings open bottom right-ish! Stunning Views, Many Thanks!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌎 (The drone footage and music was so epic... It brought tears to my eyes - good tears… ♥️) Love your dogs, what breed are they? I’ve been wanting to take a trip to this canyon for a while now, I live in Eastern Or

Beautiful..was at Succor Creek in the 60s...road sure looks better in otherwise seems the same

An exotic area on to itself. It should be Oregon's second National Park. What most don't realize and geologists are still studying is... that the geology of the Oywhee area is the result of and related to the Yellowstone hot spot. Which started approximately 16+ million years ago near McDermit, Nevada and then to the Oywhee area about 15-million years ago and moved over about 16+-million years, to its present location in Yellowstone National Park. This series run of volcanism is similar to the Hawaiian chain of volcanoes. Snakes/Rattlers_ I grew up in rattler country and throughout my life have spent many days in the outback and have learned this. Use extreme caution along creeks, brush, shaded areas in the heat of the day, and walking about at night. Look down, to the side, and ahead and walk with a heavy footfall and slowly. They don't see very well but are attuned to vibrations. When free climbing check before you reach up for the next hold. I was surprised on morning when I pulled up face to face with a sunning rattler. I found another route up. i have been inches away from coiled rattlers defensive rattlers on the trail and never struck, but a friend was bitten in her garden. Rattlers can hang in the shade of a bush/brush to cool during the heat of the day and sun themselves in the morning on rock ledges. They don't have to be coiled to strike. On warm nights they can be about hunting. I shared a BLM campsite with one for three days in the Ochocos of Oregon. I discovered him(?) one morning when I put my boot up on a BLM camp stove to tie it up. He was under the grate and that is where he spent his nights. I always used a flashlight when returning to camp at night as i didn't want to be rude and step on him and I never used the campsite stove out of respect for him and his night shelter. And finally....Please don't kill them. PS! The best visual presentation of this strikingly beautiful area I have yet enjoyed... Two Thumbs way up.

You are extremely talented filmmakers. Best of luck with the success of your channel. Roger from Spokane.

Terrific video. Thank you

Looks awesome guys!

Gosh I wish folks would stay off the back country roads when they are muddy. Maybe you got caught by surprise, but the drone footage of your campsite clearly shows the damage you left behind. Those tire tracks in the mud will dry and be there in the campsite all summer. Bummer.

Awesome!👍😎🇨🇦🐾

Gonna have to get up with motorcycle. Do some offroad and camping/hiking.Thanks for the tip.Looks like a wonderful place.

Wonderful video, beautiful country! Having lived in northern Nevada most of my life, I learned early the beauty of the desert and it’s mountains. Thank you.

Excellent video., however, the music is louder than the narrative.

Good video. A hiking staff will provide stability and if you use it to tap the ground, especially around bushes and clumps of grass, it will help you avoid a snake bite…I was wondering if an RV might work a little later when the gravel roads firm up?

Thanks for sharing this spectacular geography! We have a Wrangler but the road you were on looks suitable for 2 wheel drive. Other videos I’ve seen show a much more difficult trail. Also, what month was your trip?
