Much as I love the "organized and structured" nature of hiking and camping in National Parks, there's something nice about the freedom of National Forests/BLM land! While I haven't been to that particular spot, it reminds me a little bit of Wildwood Regional Park in Thousand Oaks where I grew up and hiked a lot as a kid. It has similar striking peaks, lots of sage, and similar brush in it, but the beauty is the fact that you can see for miles on a clear day! Also, as a volunteer motorman, if you give me the honk-the-horn signal I may just give a friendly toot back ;-).

The Pacific Northwest has so much to offer in the way of diverse terrains. So many people only "see" what is on the West side of the Cascades. The east side is a different world as you found with the Channeled Scablands. As far as forgotten, not as much as one would think. In the spring for one weekend the ranchers in the Odessa area allow motorcyclist to ride and race across the lands that are otherwise off limits. It's called the Desert 100 and seeing about 1000 motorcyclists racing across the desert is amazing. It's well organized and the organizer work hard to be sure everyting is cleaned up afterwards including the 50+ miles of trails that are ridden. The Channeled Scabland are huge with so many opportunities, just watch out for the sneaky snakes. 😁 It's great that you were able to get out and enjoy the side of WA state that is my home. I hope to see you do more in E. WA and E. OR (Hells Canyon area and the Wallowa Mountains- hint hint). Keep up the great work.

Learn more about the Ice Age Floods by reading Bruce Bjornstad's "On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods". I would love to see you explore more of Eastern Washington with hikes and backpacking trips. Our springs and falls are epic and you are right about how beautiful our sunsets can be.

Just a heads up, I think you might have stuck those V stakes in backwards. You had the point of the V facing inwards and you want the open side of the V inside so it kinda cups the dirt in the direction the line is pulling. That might have been part of why the stakes were coming loose. I also prefer MSR groundhogs, they just hold way better than V stakes like those. Looks like a nice quiet area. I hope you do more videos like this, not ever hike has to be to a super popular well known area.

Ha.. that's a "GTF Out!" House.... And 🎶🎵 i was a lake, some say a pond, filled with all a day good H2O but now it is gone....😂😂

I've been loving videos you've done with other hikers. Have you ever considered taking along somewhat exeprieced but non-celeb hikers? I think it'd be a blast to hike with you!

The geologic history of this entire region is truly EPIC! From flood basalts, left by multiple lava flows (some hundreds of feet thick) to multiple Ice Age floods (some hundreds of feet deep) caused by Massive ice dam collapses. if you don't know, here is a primer of ONE of the floods. kzitem.info/news/bejne/qJWCuKNpsHuFZmk

Great song! Deserving a like. Would have liked anyway. Enjoying the whole video. Thank you. Ray.

Hi Miranda! What’s your take on organised travels with a group of people and a guide? It would give peace of mind since I’m an absolute beginner but on the other hand I would love the independence and peace and quiet…just enjoying nature and not the company of other people 😬 I already got so much out of your channel!! Big thanks and greetings from a Belgium viewer, I love your channel! 😊

Your sequence of events on creating that beautiful landscape is about right, but your timing is a long ways off! The lava flows that piled up on each other (300+ separate eruptions from 19 to 15 million years ago, roughly), created the Columbia Plateau. They’ve drilled deep and found 15,000 feet of basalt piled up underneath… Around the end of the last Ice Age, you would have seen a normal landscape of gentle rolling hills and stream, the Columbia River well established as the principal driver of the basin. Then came the floods, starting maybe 16,000 years ago. The lobe of the continental ice sheet over in Montana blocked the melt waters from flowing out of their basin to the west as they had done. A very large lake built up behind the ice dam, known as Glacial Lake Missoula. At some point, the water pressure overcame the ice dam, and that huge lake emptied out and flooded across the whole Plateau. Picture 200 feet or more of water and debris. Racing across those flat lands, scouring off everything all the way down to bedrock, and more. When fast flowing water encounters weak spots in the rock, it can actually pluck stones out of the bedrock and take them up into the flow. Power like that, can literally rip a great big coulee out in just a few weeks of flow. And these floods were repeated over and over as the ice dams kept forming and breaking, carving the coulees wider and deeper and longer every time. So your sequence was right, you had the lava in the millions of years, it’s just that the floods were just a recent thing less than twenty thousand years ago. Practically yesterday if you think in geologic time! 😁

Enjoyable & refreshing to watch. I grew up in central US flatlands and the looong vistas there plus wide skies are super relaxing. This reminds me of such places. Very different from some hiking posts showing grueling uphill slogs covered in scree to reach just the “right summit” - reminds us that earth has so many beautiful variations.

This is the longest “Selfie” video experience I’ve had, also breaks the record of the most products mentioned / Selling I’ve ever seen. The outside . . .thing, purely incidental since the Selfie is on camera ninety percent of the time (not the landscape. . .thing). Perhaps an alternative title, “ Selfie goes for a walk to promote her products. I’m sure I’ve got this wrong and just don’t get it. KZitem and the Selfie generation are a perfect match and the future direction KZitem has been heading, Good luck and of course Good Fortune.

Girl! Do you bring protection? Genuinely curious bc i think i would have panicked seeing the guys on dirt bikes and learning that they were a group. How do you deal with safety? Love your solo trips! You're so funny 😁 Stay safe!
