Let's Drive to Palouse Falls
Among the basalt canyons, coulees, buttes, and plateaus of the Palouse--a roughly 19,000 sq. mi (50,000 sq. km), picturesque region in southeastern Washington and western Idaho--Palouse Falls stands out. Formed by the Missoula mega-floods of the Pleistocene epoch over 13,000 years ago, Palouse Falls consists of an upper fall with a drop around 20 ft (6.1 m), and a lower fall with a drop of 198 ft (60 m). Its waters then flow through deep canyons to its confluence with the Snake River about 4 mi (6 km) downstream. Palouse Falls is Washington's official state waterfall and is part of the 94-acre Palouse Falls State Park.

This video was originally posted in July 2017, six weeks before a massive fire swept through the Columbia River Gorge, scorching most of the area shown in the video. The Eagle Creek Fire was started by a teen playing with fireworks over Labor Day weekend in 2017. It burned out of control for three months before finally being contained in November of that year. Before it was contained, the fire ...
Let's Drive to Sunrise, Mt. Rainier National Park
Переглядів 10 тис.5 років тому
Built in 1931, Mount Rainier's Sunrise Road still ranks among the most beautiful drives in the country. From the park's White River entrance, just off Washington State Route 410 (the Chinook Scenic Byway), the Sunrise Road twists and turns its way 16 miles (25.7 kilometers) into the rich alpine meadows of the Sunrise Visitor Center, near the mountain's northeastern slope. As it climbs to an ele...

Let's Drive the Yakima River Canyon Scenic Byway (WA 821N)
Переглядів 6 тис.6 років тому
The Yakima River Canyon Scenic Byway is one of Washington state's best-kept secrets. Also known as the Canyon Road, this year-round byway follows the Yakima River for 22 miles through the scenic, sage-covered vistas of central Washington, between the towns of Yakima and Ellensburg. All along the route, stately basalt cliffs rise dramatically above the meandering Yakima River, their crevices and...
Let's Hike to Union Creek Falls, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest
Переглядів 8536 років тому
Note: This video was shot one week before a lightening strike near the falls started a wildfire that went on to consume over 55,000 acres of the Norse Peak Wilderness. It's a short hike back to Union Creek Falls, but the trail gains roughly 600 ft. (183 m.) quickly in a series of sharp switchbacks that gave this old body quite a workout. The out-and-back trail (#956) runs about 12 miles to Nors...

Like many desert high points located near cities, Badger Mountain is a popular hike for locals, with over 250,000 people hiking its well-built trails each year.

Let's Visit Multnomah Falls, Bridal Veil, Oregon
Переглядів 1,2 тис.7 років тому
Of the 77 waterfalls on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls is easily the most awe-inspiring. Located just over 30 miles east of Portland, Multnomah Falls is probably the most visited site in Oregon and is as magnificent as any waterfall in the country. And since the falls are fed year-round by underground springs, no matter the season or the weather, a visit to Multnom...

Hey Anthony! I grew up in Washington and am coming back for a visit in two weeks. I really need helping finding a road or confirming this is the route that my Grandfather took us on from Seattle to Yakima when the seasons allowed. Maybe it is the 410 but I have googled earth'ed the 410 and do not see the crystal clear small lakes on the side of the roads that I remember. Can you please help me. This is a bucket list item to find this road of my childhood and I am bringing my own daughter and her husband with me too. I really need them to see the crystal clear waters of Washington. Please please please and thank you for your post!
A must experience scenic and relaxing drive!
im going to washington (after 30 years) next month at the end of the month and my grandparents have a cabin here and all i wanted to do was go there. ugh
Very nice ❤️ 👌 👍 👏
Thanks for creating and posting! So helpful to have visuals of where I'm headed.
Very beautiful
秋の紅葉が最も美しい庭園かも
日本庭園はとても退屈だ。 日本人は自分たちの庭がとても美しく見えることだけを望んでいます。 彼らは中国庭園の模倣的な生活、世界、自然、詩的なスタイルを持たないでしょう。 桜が満開のような庭園はたまにしか遊べません。
One of my favorite places in the entire world. I have loved the Canyon since the 60's and so little has changed!
🎉🎉Hy thanks for sharing👍
Wow... !!! My best friend, Loved this video. Looking forward to see more. Awesome... Full watched.
Very nice
Is it correct that 410 can be driven in its entirety without having to pay an entrance fee for Mt. Rainier Nat'l Park?
Yes, that's correct. 410 skirts the northern boundary of Mt. Rainier Nat. Park.
Wow, My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.
Beautiful and sure will go have a look
It's a real treasure. Thanks for your comment.
Do you have to pay to park there?
No, but the parking lot isn't very large so you want to get there as early as possible. I'm going to re-shoot that video next week in higher definition. I haven't been back since the pandemic so I'm really looking forward to it. It's a beautiful drive and a stunning destination.
What a great drive! Thanks so much for posting this video.
Thanks so much for your comment!
Very beautiful garden 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Yes, it is. Thanks for your comment. 🙂
The Canyon Road is a lovely drive; thanks for posting the video. I have a friend, originally from the east coast, who takes this as often as he can between Ellensburg and Yakima. If you're up for adventure, there's also Ellensburg Pass, a road that is actually higher than Snoqualmie Pass at 3137' to the other's 3022'. I'm not talking about Old Durr Road; that one crosses Umtanum Creek and goes over two ridges, a de facto shortcut in the Ellensburg Pass route. It requires a high-ground clearance dualsport motorcycle or 4-wheel drive. Ellensburg Pass connects Wenas Lake and The Wenas area just north & northwest of Selah with Ellensburg, coming out at the old Damman School outside of Ellensburg. In good weather, even a subcompact car can take it, although the road is a bit rough.
Thanks for the great tip! I've taken Umtanum Rd. to where it meets Wenas Rd. on my way to Umtanum Creek Falls. (I hope to have a video of that hike this spring.) However, that's as far as I've gone. Looking at the topo, I can see that Wenas Rd. continues on through Ellensburg Pass. I'm definitely going to have to check that out this spring. Thanks again for the tip and for your comment!
Always with a zillion Chem trails!!
This is one amazing trip if you wanna take a amazing drive from Auburn Wa to Yakima very beautiful and peaceful..
Thanks for your comment. I have driven most of that route, and it is indeed beautiful. The problem for me is the length of the route and the fact that it's a 6 hour drive to Auburn from where I live. Most of these driving videos require a number of takes in order to get enough footage that isn't crowded with other vehicles. (Nobody wants to watch a video where you're stuck behind a truck or a line of cars on a narrow two-lane road.) I generally like to stick to shorter routes that I can drive multiple times in a day.
If you would please allow, I would love to use some of your footage set to music on my site. I will give you full credit for your beautiful film . Please respond when you can. Namaste' CM
Yeah, I guess so. Just make sure you give me credit and a link back to the original video.
Driving to Ellensburg on the interstate is a gorgeous drive, too. Washington is simply a beautiful state.
Thanks for your comment. I have tons of footage for that drive, I just haven't put it together yet. I think it's particularly beautiful driving I-82E from Ellensburg to Yakima.
I like videos like these, they hep me feel like I'm actually there even when I'm unable to travel. Thank you for posting :)
Glad you like them!
Beautiful falls. Thumbs up
Thank you very much!
The portland let's visit very a fun becouse haverting garden in half bridge above river sight seeing green green grass reddist flawer sweet

Thanks for your comment. It's not really that bad. The GoPro makes it seem like I'm driving faster than I actually am!
Peaceful ladscape. I really enjoyed it¡¡¡
Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed it!
Happy Good Friday
You too.
I want hike this path.
Me, too, now that it's starting to warm up again!
Great.
Thank you!
i have enjoyed it very much
Thank you!
2:27 to 2:32 is a guy doing Karate or Taekwondo on the top left corner of the screen
Thanks for your comment. Sorry for the delay in responding. It might be Taekwondo, but I think it's Tai Chi. He was up there almost every day the month I filmed this. I wanted to leave it in because I thought it was really cool. Keep in mind that he had to hike up up that steep trail to get there!
I’ve lived in Portland for all of my life but haven’t realized that this even existed until now.
Gotta say, that's hard to believe. You should definitely check it out once things start loosening up.
@@AnthonyUbelhor Yeah, I definitely will
I’ve climbed that mountain about 20 times now.
It's a great workout. I try to hike it twice a week, weather permitting.
I always do the hard hike, and I agree.
I have rode my harley there out of Yakima 485 miles 4 volcanoes beautiful ride 😍 one day it's worth the time .lol
Oh how I would like that!
My family and I visited there yesterday. We entered from Nisqually SW entrance. Next time will use White River Sunrise NE entrance.
Thanks for your comment. Sorry for the delay. I wanted to shoot a video of the Nisqually drive last spring, but everything was shut down because of COVID. Hopefully, I can get to it this year.
Washington is the real work of god's hand 😍
@Jonathan Hudgins thanks 😊
Yes, it is. And with everything from seacoasts with rocky outcrops and sandy beaches to crystal clear alpine lakes and streams and one of the largest rivers in the nation; dense, temperate rain forests to forested woodlands and massive old growth forests; and jagged mountain ranges with snow-capped peak to shrub-steppe deserts and channeled scablands; Washington is one of the most ecologically diverse states in the union. I moved here 10 years ago from Kentucky, and I've yet to grow tired of stepping out my front door and just looking up at the sky.
Yeah. It's unfortunate the flaming liberals have ruined the western third of the state.
ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCED CULTURES ON THE PLANET; ALSO THE MOST PORNOGRAPHIC.
Portland? 😊
Heavenly indeed 🙏
Thank you!
Beyond beautiful! Are you showing selected section of the four mile long Chinook Pass or of the whole Chinook Drive? Did you drive eastbound?
Thanks for your comment! I was driving westbound in the video, although I think the eastbound drive is a bit more spectacular for some reason. I shot the video going both ways, but used this cut because I liked the way the morning sun crowned Yakima Peak and Mt. Rainier in gold. The video itself was edited down. Although the UA-cam algorithm prefers longer videos, I found that people generally stop watching after about five minutes, so I try to keep my videos at around that length. Thanks for watching!
@@AnthonyUbelhor I prefer the westbound drive since its easier to see rainier as the driver. However, the eastbound drive is a lot more fun going uphill on those curves
just like in Japan
Thank you!

Great video !!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Our take away impression from our very first family visit and tour last year in August was an truly overwhelming learning experience giving hope to humanity in the perenially maintaining and keeping intact the true nature in our natural habitat and environment. Lee
Fantastic video!
Thanks!
Amazingest ✨✨
Thank you so much!
I’ve lived in puyallup 13 years and never gone past Greenwater on 410. Maybe next summer I’ll take this road. Looks beautiful. You picked a great day for this drive.
Thank you. It's one of my favorite drives. I had to drive up there five or six times over the course of two weeks before the conditions were "just right" for that video. Being very early in the morning also helped. Thanks for watching!
That remind me Twin Peaks😍
Really? How so?
