- Yet another amazing hike to the trestle, this time accompanied by my buddy @AdventuringwithTrevor He also made a video which portrays more of the hike so be sure to check that out. This time, I figured I'd hike all the way to the bottom of the trestle and see what's left to see down there. Totally different perspective and feeling being able to look up 180 feet all the way to the top. Stick around and see what we find!

I really hope that cyclist was okay, it looks like it was a while ago though. xx
Was a fun day dude thanks for the invite and kind words! Sorry i had to leave so soon i would have loved to join ya down there at the bottom of the trestle. Just saves something for me to hit next time im there tho 🤙🏻 great video dude. Lets link up again soon
Thanks for returning. That trestle is a major human achievement especially since it took only a year to construct. Your views of it's underside are unique. Very interesting artifacts you found in the tunnels.
Thanks! Surprised this trestle hasn't burned. That was the fate of most Western wooden trestles.
It astounds me that the old timers built that trestle in a year,amazing,but not a shock really,seeing what they do underground! Great video ☺️
Thanks for walking that trestle for me...as i do not do heights at all..😁 And that view from the bottom up was fantastic. a very complex design of the wood work...👍
Looking from the bottom up, it gives you that "WOW" factor.
That trussel was so cool seeing it from the bottom up. Beautiful desert and the artifacts were impressive.
A good thing that you have documented the trestle, who knows how long it will be standing. An engineering marvel to say the least.
I loved your first vid but seeing it from the bottom was even better. hope your navy training went well. peace!
I used to work as a B&B foreman on the former BCRail line and maintenance on two trestle bridges( Australian and Alexandria) required 6 men full time. Late 1970’s
That's such a great trail to hike. Reminds me of a western movie. But somehow it looks a bit creepy to walk on this old trestle, but at least you did it together, I guess alone it would be a more "strange" atmosphere. Great impressions. Thank you for sharing man. Have a great week. Best wishes, Mario
Many Thanks 😊 great video fascinating tunnels and tresel Bridge . Loved the video places I will never get to go . I live on the east coast . 🙋♂️👍
Wow, incredible! Thanks!
The bristlecones grow on the north facing inclines probably because it's more out of the sun and they take advantage of the moisture there.
Beautiful views❤
Awesome! Great video!
👍👍👍👊😎
Great explore!
Just Awesome! !
Excellent Video and Photography Jerith! An amazing piece of history. Really appreciate you exploring the very bottom for those of us who can not make it. Really enjoy your explores - keep them coming.
Thanks for that Charlene! Truly an amazing experience every chance I get to go out here. I'm hoping to check out some lesser known spots around the gorge sometime soon. Thanks for watching as always!
Loved it, thanks!
Very Kool thanks for sharing a part of the west some of us will never see this was awesome.keep up the good work be looking for your next adventure,,👍👍👍👍
I am curious to know about the vertical wood members of this 180 ft high Railroad trestle. It looks like they’re made from lodgepole pine trees but I didn’t think they grew that tall. Perhaps next time you go there you can zoom in on the vertical members and see if there’s any joining steel plates or anything that hold them together if they’re single pieces of wood?
Thanks for a unique view of the trestle - looks like a lot of effort
Brilliantly filmed video friend, absolutely brilliant!! Really enjoyed watching this fantastic upload.
Epic hike.
Well done
It's really cool to see it from below. It sure is a beautiful area
Hey Naomi! It's amazingly beautiful. Since you were one of the first to comment, you won my 5k Giveaway. Would you be interested in some geological samples from some of the mines I've been to?
Amazing videos man you should have way more subs
Good video
My bike!!!! 🚲
😅
Great video brother I enjoy your content. Are you planning on hiking the backside of tunnel 15 in the future.
Nice video. It's been years since I've been out there. You forgot to pick up your gas money.
Very cool. I have seen videos of this trestle before but never from down below it. One of the videos I saw did go over to tunnel 15 though and went in as far as they could. --- That bicycle was a bit off. It didn't look like it had been there very long.
Thanks for that! I've been on both sides of Tunnel 15, the first one I did out here I checked out the side near the trestle and just last video I went all the way to where it's collapsed. We sure thought it was weird. It wasn't there the week before so it was only a couple days old.
@@WesternMineDetective: The video I saw of someone going in tunnel 15 on the end toward the trestle was probably you. Seems it's been quite a while back, like a year or more ago. Though I could be mistaken; I've had a few strokes recently so keeping track of timelines tend to get a bit scrambled.
The reason for the bicycle find Is simple. Somebody got a flat tire and said " to hell with this big ole POS,. I'm not dragging this thing back with me". And so they chucked it over the edge
There could be a body associated with the bicycle somewhere.
Hi Jerith, congratulations on reaching 5k, that's awesome. The photo's you took at the bottom were stunning, I bet not many people have attempted to reach the bottom of the trestle so those are some very unique shots. Have you ever been up to the abandoned tunnel that was washed out ?? Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Hey Sue, thanks for that! I haven't seen many pics if any at all from the bottom of the trestle so I figured I'd give it a try. Even if I was tired as hell by the time I got there. And yes, I've been on both ends of the original Tunnel 15. My first video I did of this trestle well over a year ago I checked out the end near the trestle. Back then it didn't have any signs of graffiti. Thanks for watching as always!!
@@WesternMineDetective Actually now you say that, I remember watching them lol, I have Fibromyalgia which makes my memory really bad. x
Amazing how they could have even built the trestle. Driving wood pilings through stones and boulders must have been a nightmare.
Maybe they're not driven in at all. They could be just held in place with Gorilla Glue.
Bicycle, I've been riding them for decades. I have a feeling that bike 🚲🚲 Rider didn't have a patch kit, for possibly two flat tires. So they left it instead of pushing it back. Who knows.
Hey Buddy. Nice video! Is tunnel 15 completely caved in? Regards from Ody Slim
Hey Ody! Tunnel 15 is completely collapsed about 200 feet in from the other end. But both portals are accessible. I showed me walking into the original tunnel last video. Thanks for watching!
👏👍👊🏆🙏
Warning , do not share this with director Michael Bay . That Blowed Up Real Good !
And I do see a 98.50 price is that shares or bacon or anything good?
Where is this trestle located ?
Great vid on a nice piece of history. Been on my list to make it down there to visit before it's gone.
Any info on the supposed revival of that rail line?
Is that "paper" possibly a propaganda or some kind of local info?
TC METİN GÖKBULUT 1977 BUNU BEGENDİ 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷💯💯💯👍👍👍.
