Oregon, Explored - A Roulette Travel Documentary

- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- For my first full length feature - I set out to the coast of Oregon for 13 days. We chose the off season - ready to battle the challenging rain and wind in exchange for having most of the locations to ourselves. As a hiking guide with my business Roulette-Travel.com, I'm no stranger to inclement weather - and so was ready for the challenge of whatever Oregon could throw at us.
Venturing into the Pacific Northwest for the very first time - I wasn't exactly sure what to expect - especially considering that I met my travel partner for the time - at baggage claim. We linked up through Instagram to split the costs of the trip as well as the burden of driving, and this documentary shows how it played out!
Dive in with Roulette Travel as we travel 1,700 miles through Oregon's stunning forests and coastline, visiting 18 waterfalls and 8 cities along the way. From the lush forests along the Columbia River Gorge and its scenic waterfalls, to the giants of the redwood groves and back to the bridges and megaliths of the coast - this adventure has it all.

FINALLY a video that shows the real Oregon!!!❤️❤️❤️🌲 I get so tired of seeing sunny day videos. The cloudy rainy moody misty weather is a major MAJOR part of the beauty/appeal and adventure of the NW. Well done! So beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed Jeremy! Weather was definitely tricky, but as you can see, was definitely worth it! Can't wait to get back again! - Brian
Haha it's only because we can't get our drones out in the rain! But I know exactly what you mean.
winter time not like that all the time here
The quality of this video had me expecting that this channel had a large amount of followers! Great video, extremely underrated channel! Can’t wait to binge your videos!!
Thank you Crista I appreciate that!
As a sixth generation Oregonian this tribute really touched my heart. Thank you
Thank you for watching ML! Glad that you enjoyed. One of my favorite places now too! - Brian
I lived in Silverton for two years, and one of my favorite places was Silver Falls State Park. You filmed it beautifully. As also the redwood forest near Crescent City....having grown up in the redwoods, it felt like going home to this 63 year old heart. Thank you!
Thank you for watching Gwen! Hope that it brought back some great memories. Hoping to revisit there again soon!
Easily the best video of its kind that I've ever seen. I'm 71, so this is as close as I'm likely to get. Thank you.
Hey Marc - I really appreciate that! I'm glad that you enjoyed. If you ever find yourself in Upstate New York - give me a shout. I've taken out hikers who could still call you a "young man"! I'll have a new similar video from Colorado coming out soon that I think you'll enjoy too. Thank you for watching! -Brian
This soon to be 71 yr. old is heading to Oregon in May. We are going to hit as many places as we can on our 10 day trip. I doubt we'll be doing that much hiking but I can't wait to see all the beauty of the coast and the waterfalls. Wish us luck! 😄
My dream place...thank you for explored it..I always want to be there...
That’s absolutely beautiful, and what a documentary congrats my friend!
Brian James thanks mate, more surprises coming soon, lots of footage little time!
Beautifully documented! Thank you very much for taking us along!
Oregon is a gem.
Agreed!
Beautiful!
You are very talented videographer and have a great eye!
Thank you taking us on your journey; it was delightful!
Thank you - so much appreciated! Brian
Love that you came in the off season. The Gorge and all its waterfalls are absolutely gorgeous in late spring or summer, but jam packed with people. I love Oregon in winter, the cold rain and moss still keeping everything green. Great video!
How about blizzard's there???
Looks absolutely amazing! Good for you
Beautiful!!! I love nature
You did such a beautiful job showcasing Oregon. I wish you had been able to see the East side of Oregon. The desert is gorgeous.
Your cinematography is just outstanding. Bravo to you! Thank you for this. ❤
Thank you! I appreciate the kind works - and hope I get back out there to see the desert at some point too! -Brian
Thank you for recording these sacred forests of Oregon! It's so heart braking the horrible devastation of the 2020 fires. I'm grateful for this reminder. ~Rebecca
Thank you Rebecca! Hopefully the forests are able to recover in a reasonable time. - Brian
Hi! I also found you on Reddit. The story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for saving Meadow. We need more people like you in this world 💕
I'm glad you got to enjoy my home for all of my 64 years. There is so much to see here. Come back again.
Will definitely be back again Terry! So much more I'd love to see. Thanks for watching! - Brian
I live in Roseburg, just west of Glide. I'm glad you got to explore and experience our once beautiful world. If I'm being truthful, this brought on all the feels. Thank you for sharing your pov. I especially was takin away by the enchanting snow covered hiking trails.
@@RouletteTravel My family and I are planning on moving to the St. Helen's area. I was born in Oregon (Coos County) but have spent majority of my 40 yrs exploring the Umpqua and coastal area. I'm really looking forward to experiencing some new locations. I love the Umpqua but you can hike the same trails only so much before it becomes uninspiring. If you haven't been to the Cave Junction area, check it out. The caves down there are awe inspiring. Doesn't cost a whole lot, there's hiking and a really amazing lodge where you can stay right at the caves and on a clear day you should be able to see the ocean.
I've lived in Oregon my whole life. Your video showcases the state beautifully; especially the lesser known places like Sam Boardman and a few of those waterfalls.
Thank you John! - Brian
What a fantastic documentary!!
Next time you're out here in Oregon, you have to see Crater Lake. When you were in Grants Pass you were only about 2 hours away. But don't try it in winter! Beautiful video of our state!
Great adventure in one of the best states of the USA.
Thank you Olivia! Definitely one of my favorite states so far! - Brian
I was stationed on a radar site in 1969 at North Bend AFS (no longer military). The coast line of Oregon is probably the most beautiful in the world. I hope the recent fires haven't destroyed all of that beauty...it would be a shame. Fishing was my favorite hobby and Oregon offered it all to me, both ocean and fresh water. Thanks for bringing back so many incredible memories of my too short life there.
Gorgeous! I want to visit Oregon so bad some day!
Leaving for the PNW very soon! Your vlog helped so much and the vid was outstanding, mesmerizing! I'm so pumped after your doc! I grew up at the base of the Helderberg Mountains, NY :)
Imagens incríveis! ❤
Parabéns! 🇧🇷
Thank you for sharing with us this amazing video! It is very well made! 💚🌿
Thank you Anna! Much appreciated. New video from Utah will be coming in the next few weeks too - be sure to give a watch! - Brian
Love the video, stumbled on it by chance and sure glad I did. I’m a southern oregon native and can see the table rocks from my house. Oregon is a beauty and has so much to offer!
Happy trails!
Thank you! Oregon definitely captured me, can't wait to get back there again! happy trails to y'all too! -Brian
Love the video! Born and raised in the PNW and you hit so many of my favorite locations.
As an OR resident of some years I feel like many people underestimate how narrow the season is on so many things. I guess that applies to much of the west especially the national parks. Nearly all have at least partial closure all but a few months of the year.
Agreed. At this point I aim for the off seasons at most places to avoid the screaming children and tour buses full of obnoxious travelers 🤣
Lovely! Lovely! (And, slightly funny). You're at the sites of many fond memories--friends' weddings, picnics, adventures, etc. And, you snuck in a few sights of the wildfire devastation that I've been avoiding like an ostrich with my head stuck in the coastal sands. The beauty is still there. And, it doesn't usually snow on "this side of the mountain." That probably made for some slow travelling and emptier viewpoints, too. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed Maeg and that it brought back some fond memories! Hoping the wildfire areas continue to recover and get back to what they once were! Travel wasn't too bad except for the few snowy areas, but viewpoints and parks were pleasantly quiet. Thanks for watching! -Brian
Excellent video guys! I live in Oregon and have been to several of your visited falls. I was glad you did not miss the Toketee Falls. I've been there a few times and even in the summer its dangerous to try climbing down off the landing: I really cringed when i watched your attempt and glad you made it out safely, I am also glad you made this trip and video before the fires this year of 2021,
Thanks Jim! Tokotee was definitely not one to play around at! Hope to return again one day. Glad you enjoyed the video! - Brian
Great Job!! So much work to put together a 47 min episode!!
Beautifully made, and you chose some great spots...If there was snow in the Rogue Valley, I'm guessing you didn't have much chance at accessing Crater Lake. For anyone visiting the Oregon coast, read up on the dangers of the tides and cliffs. There's multiple tragic stories every year, and most of them don't involve any risky behavior.
Reddit and Meadow brought me here, but your channel is absolutely awesome. Great pics, very pleasant to listen to, background music is on point
Keep doing what you're doing, liked and subbed
what an amazing video! I want to visit these places one day. your channel is amazing don't stop!
Thank you! Check out the Colorado one if you haven't seen it yet! Hope you get out for some great travels soon. - Brian
Never seen one of your videos before but wow very impressive! We are just getting started on our YT channel and I was expecting you to have a ton of subscribers with this quality! Also adding a lot of these places to my bucket list! Subscribing to see more!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Really appreciate that! Feel free to share or send along to friends, helps out so much! - Brian
Awesome experience! It will serve me while playing my trip to Oregon next April . Warmer weather should be pretty awesome also 🌲🍄🍀🪸🌙 Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you! Hope that you have a great trip and some warm weather. Appreciate you watching! - Brian
Awesome
Thanks for the great video and travel ideas!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you very much for doing this video! Oregon is one of my dream places to go, never been. I'd really like to live there or somewhere like it, wished I were born someplace beautiful and full of nature like Oregon. Those forests, trees, waterfalls, rivers, etc, are my soul. I don't think I'd be able to just visit, or I wouldn't be able to make myself leave!
Glad that you enjoyed, BJ! Hope that you get out to visit some of your dream places soon. Thank you for watching!
Awesome production!! Congrats for the video, quality is superb. My wife and I are heading to Oregon parks in two more weeks we are looking forward to be there!!
Thank you Danilo! Hope that you guys enjoy the trip and see some incredible sights. Thanks for watching! -Brian
Excellent video!
So beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you too!
Hey man thanks for your time filming and putting this video together I am sure it made those hikes that much harder. I lived in Beaverton for 4 years you covered more in 12 days then I did in 4 years. You must have been exhausted. Everything you're saying I said the same thing. Driving up the coast you can stop every 5 minutes it's so beautiful lol. That place is prehistorical I kept waiting to see a dinosaur walk out. Thanks again great video.
Thank you Mike! Glad that you enjoyed! and yeah we were pretty much going non-stop for the trip, but still a few easygoing days here and there. Definitely was waiting for a dinosaur to pop out of some of the old growth forests. Looking forward to another trip in the future (and my video from colorado will be out in a few weeks time as well)! - Brian
So MUCH AWESOME AND AMAZING THINGS TO SEE. AWESOME
Thank you Rene! Definitely an incredible place! - Brian
Amazing ❤️ would love to take a trip.
Great vlog! You deserve more views and subs for sure mate! Good luck and all the best from Poland ;)
Thank you!
aye man keep doin ya thing this was awesome, I’ve been wanting to go to Oregon for so long I watch so many in state travel videos. This one made me feel like I was there
Hey, I live in Oregon. It's the most beautiful place on the planet. The entire Pacific Northwest is. But we don't usually tell people that because we don't want everyone taking over our home. Lmao. Yeah but I highly recommend it. Once this is over you should explore it. Places I suggest are Bully Creek Reservoir(Walking on the dam is eerie and awesome), anywhere on the coast. But Coos Bay and Lincoln city and anywhere there is great. The Oregon Dunes are awesome, haven't been there since I was little though. The shrublands and deserts are great too. Also, visit every, single, mountain, it's worth it. Although I haven't been to all of them. Mt. Hood is great. Also Checking out adjacent places are nice. The Redwood Forest in California, Mt. St. Helens in Washington, tragic and epic stories from the eruption in 1980. Like over 40 people died, and this one guy walked through a mud flow and survived. All of those places. Again I highly recommend Oregon. I know all(a lot of if we're being realistic) you'd need to know just ask. Stay safe!
@@RouletteTravel I'm definitely going to watch that then!
Hi Brian, beautiful video. I found you from a reddit post about you helping find a lost dog and just want you to know you have a new subscriber!
So cool 🤙🏻 new sub from Scotland 🏴
Great video man, loved all the content. I look forward to much more.
Thanks Cam! Excited to keep putting put more. - Brian
@@RouletteTravel you're very welcome
Couldn't have picked a better location for your first full length feature! Well done Brian. Captured my home state very well!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching. Has definitely been one of my favorite states so far! - Brian
Great vid. Thanks for the info and inspiration. Doing it this April.
Thanks Phil! hope that you enjoy the trip! - Brian
I may not hike as much as I could given my primary shoes are Renegade boots, but I do love going on long drives up and down the Coast and Cascades. Oregon is a beautiful state. Even the high desert has its beauty.
That's for sure! Can't wait to get back and visit more. Happy travels Richard!
Great edit, music and videography! We're are going to the Oregon coast in November and your video has me *pumped*! Can't wait to visit Samuel Boardman
Hey David! You're going to have a great time out there! I use the Mavic 2 Zoom in most cases - here's a little writeup that I did! roulette-travel.com/my-gear-bag/drones/
@@RouletteTravel Thanks for the info. I'm planning to take that hike you did down to the natural bridges in Samuel Boardman but it looks hella sketchy. I must conquer my fear though, because that is an epic droning spot, and the bird *must* fly.
Wow Beautiful video!
Thank you Adri!
Great video, well shot!!
Thank you!!
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching, Helen!
Beautiful video! I've lived in Texas most of my life and would love to visit Oregon sometime. It's a dream of mine! 💓
You should definitely take a trip there! I still need to visit Texas as well - still haven't been! - Brian
Hiking in February. Badass.
Hope you have a great time out there! Should still be quite beautiful and winter-y in February! - Brian
Your video is interesting
I watched the full video
I love Oregon. It's so beautiful 😍👍
I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for watching! Definitely have to agree on Oregon's beauty! Colorado doc coming soon as well - stay tuned! - Brian
Oregon is gorgeous ! Silver falls state park was magical 🤩 I went September of last year and I saw the first leaf fall for Fall 🥺 truly amazing
Such an incredible place - agreed! Really loved Silver Falls. Thanks for giving a watch!
Lived here my whole life and Silver Creek Falls is my favorite hike there every year
It really is such a cool hike. Hope to get back out there for another visit one day!
Thank you for watching!
Thankfully 😮😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sick video man! I live in Brookings Oregon.
Nice to meet you soon !!!
You too!
Great Video!
Thank you! Let me know if you guys want to use for your website! - Brian
There is absolutely nothing like a snow hike. I love hiking in blizzards, 2 feet of snow is my favorite to walk through for miles.
Agreed, snow is the best!
@@RouletteTravel you're awesome. Love your channel
@@SAMEntalhealth Thanks man! Check out the new colorado video and let me know what you think! Just added it a few days ago.
Beautiful Video. :)
Thank you! - Brian
Happy happy marry Christmas 🎄 !!! Today !!!
So beautiful 😍 !!!
👍 nailed it!
Thanks man!
just amazing 👍
Thank you Gizmo! Check out my other video from Colorado too!
@@RouletteTravel will do
Nice video man! Heading out to do a similar trip in May. Did the Western Washington trip 4 years ago in April and loved it but ran into a lot of snow closed roads. Between the snow and crowds timing in the PNW is tough. I find I can cover more ground and prevent a lot of backtracking not setting up base camp and just stopping between destinations for lodging
Thanks dude! Considering Washington soon but maybe later in the year with the campervan rather than lodging this time
Watching from Wilderville/Grants Pass OR 2023. Not an Oregonian native, from Southern Cal originally, and I've yet to visit Multnomah Falls. Some of those treks looked harrowing! Dutch Bros is a thing here lol. Scenery never gets old. ..this gave me some inspiration :)
Thanks for watching Jeannie! Glad you found some inspiration and hope you're enjoying Oregon! -Brian
My home 🏡 born in Benton County. Corvallis Oregon in Willamette valley. I love how close to wilderness I always am. Traveling to the Alsea area, and the Oregon coast is only a short trip over to get crab and have a good exploration. It's the best.
it was one of my favorite places ever! Sounds like a great place to live too Ben! Thanks for watching! - Brian
awww...the doggies are so cute! lol...that one really wanted you to get off that laptop! hahaha
Haha thanks Laura! I actually adopted my own dog about a week after getting home from this trip! That pug definitely wanted more pets and laptop time, that's for sure. Thanks for watching! - Brian
Awesome video man, something i love doing is hiking. I Was in Washington not long ago, but didn't get a chance to hike. Following for sure man.
Thanks Philly! Hope that you get out on some more hikes soon, and thank you for the follow! hoping to have my next video up from my Colorado hiking trip soon - stay tuned! - Brian
Nice work. I hope you enjoyed.
Thanks Ryan! very much enjoyed being there, hope to get back out one day. Thanks for watching! - Brian
awesome！love it. Hope to be there some day.
Hope you make it there too! Quite the place! - Brian
Thanks very much for doing this! I am thinking of moving to either OR or WA. Awesome footage. Thanks for all the hard work man!
Of course, glad you enjoyed! Check out my video from Colorado too if you haven't seen it yet!
That’s video deserves a million views and likes
Why thank you! Sharing or sending around to friends who might enjoy it too could help it get there! Thanks for watching Arie!
Wonderful 👌
Thank you!
Woweee. I'm watching it right now and this is helping big time. Love it!!! Very beautiful I love your video.
What a beautiful work you've done, you deserve more views and subscribes
Keep up the good job
Nice documentary
Thank you!
I live in oregon and I have never gone to many of these places
Amazing footage
Thank you!
New sub here, great channel! I'm getting ready to hopefully head up to Oregon soon, hopefully before it gets too cold and snowy there...can't wait, first trip! As a photographer I cannot WAIT to go!
Thank you Laura! Hope that you get up to Oregon and are as blown away by the scenery as I was. It's a photography paradise - enjoy! -Brian
I'm glad you enjoyed a great taste of wild and wonderful Oregon!
Great job documenting your trip.
The sound and the feel is sooo different in the forest with the snow.... love it.
Glad you captured the beauty of "off season".
Edit: and I remember my first road trip to the coast and seeing the color of the Smith River. With the white caps.
Amazing.
Damn teen with fireworks burnt half of the Columbia River Gorge trees down..Will take 200 years to return to what it was..sad..
Ikr, assuming that the name mrbeaverstate means you live in Oregon, then I guess we experienced the destruction of our beautiful state together.
I enjoyed traveling with you 😉
Thank you for watching Andrea!
I appreciate this video, but I’m telling you man, you gotta go in the fall or summer. Lived there all my life. And a place to see some beautiful snow capped mountains year around, central Oregon.
great video! just an FYI, you don't have to contact local police to get authorization for drone flights. download the app called airmap to receive FAA authorization for where you plan to fly, this will help you not miss opportunities! but as always be careful of the wind! I almost lost a drone in iceland with winds similar to the ones I saw in this video
In my opinion, north american nature is the most beautiful because it’s so diverse. From taiga to deciduous forests to tundra to deserts to Mediterranean biome to rainforest
Thanks.
I want to do the same as you. Way to go brother nice video
Спасибо за путешествие по Орегону, надеюсь удастся туда попасть, наш Кавказ тоже красив
Great video! The nature out there is beautiful and nothing here in the netherlands comes close to what it's like over there.
Definitely incredibly green out there! Want to get out to the Netherlands at some point too. Thanks for watching Mikey!
@@RouletteTravel thanks! Yeah over here we have some beautiful nature too!
@@mikeyfama9409 I bet!!
Wow Beautiful scenery 😍😍😍
Cheers from Nepal... Himalayas
Thank you! Cheers! Hope to visit Nepal one day too! - Brian
