Dropped Off In HELL 👹 One Way Out | 30 SOLO Miles In Hells Canyon

Рет қаралды 9,837

Күн бұрын

Backpacking 30 miles in Hells Canyon on the Idaho/Oregon Border! I get dropped off by jet boat on the Snake River and spend the next 3 days hiking out. Hells Canyon is North America's deepest river gorge, even deeper than the Grand Canyon. It's a rugged and rocky hike through a desert landscape. There are numerous historic sites along the way, remnants from the wild west. Some like Kirkwood Ranch and Sheep Creek Ranch are still in use. For many stretches you're on the side of an exposed canyon wall. It's not for everyone, which is my favorite part about this hike.

I’m originally from Idaho and am one of those reverse transplants who moved to Washington 17 years ago. I miss Idaho so much and your videos remind me of the things I cherished most about living there. This is one of my favorite backpacking trips. I first hiked this route over 20 years go and it was raining. We ended up sleeping inside the McGaffee cabin. Great job on the video.

Enjoy the wilderness while you can. In my 66 years it has shrunk to isolated patches. As a kid in Washington, I had only to walk a mile out the back door to find solitude in the woods.

Nice video! I just did this hike from granite creek last weekend because of this! We used hells canyon adventures to take us up river. Definitely rugged! Wish I had brought shoe gaiters for all the cheat grass that was sticking into my socks. Lots of poison ivy. McGaffe cabin is definitely creepy. The flushing toilet at kirkwood ranch was glorious. Great weekend. Not for everyone for sure!

Hit up Hells Canyon in 2017, and it was absolutely breath taking. We drove up on the Oregon side over the oxbow dam, parked, and just started walking. No agenda, went off trail, bushwhacked, and soaked it all in. Hands down one of my favorite local trips. 🤙🏼 Excellent capture of your journey bro.

Thanks Keaton! I'm heading back in May to the Oregon side over by Imnaha. I wanted to do what you did and try to park and walk but in March I was being told all the roads would still be blocked. It's a really interesting area for me this year, I will be there more.

Jon, watching this again. my son and I just repeated this trip in April 2022, using Kilgore Adventures for our jet boat ride to Granite Creek. I had to call a lot of places, and we were on standby until a couple of families booked a boat. It is so worth hiking this trail again. we had 40 mph winds as we were going over Suicide Point, and my son flew his drone from that same spot where you did, which was very nerve wracking in the high winds. thanks for your video experience.
