Hell Hole: Dangerous secret canyon in Oregon
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 10. 2018
- Hell Hole is a secret spot in Oregon. This hidden canyon goes up to 200 feet deep, and only 20 feet wide. Hell Hole is hard to find and for good reason. The hole is very dangerous and should not be entered without helmets, first aid, climbing gear, etc. After a quick introduction I let the visuals do the talking for the rest of the video.

This is why I like CZcams. I can safely tag along without fear of falling or being trapped. I can sip my beer and watch you guys show me a place I know I'll never see in real life. Thank you for sharing... it was awesome.
Thanks. I like that thought. Usually I encourage people to visit the places, not this one.
I agree, although I don't sip beer. I also like train trips. Been up and down the West Coast a dozen times and haven't gotten tired of it yet. Also been across the US from Florida to Alaska, and from the East Coast to California. Different vibes from these videos, but the idea is the same - staying safely home and enjoying someone else's trips.
Thanks for showing us since you don't recommend us going. WOW! Amazing place! The colors were stunning. You know I love to look at Oregon through your lens! Thanks, Matt
Thanks! Gotta love the fall colors. Ya kind of ironic to show how great it is but then say don't go.
Pretty cool place n interesting love the aerial shot.thanks for sharing these stories .
Thank you very much!
Loved the opening with the drone footage coming down and then transitioning into the "hole." Also enjoyed the commentary, very informational.
Thank you very much. I don't really like doing commentary but the videos need it!
Beautiful place TY for taking us with you 👍💖
Any time! Except Thursdays.
*_Great nature and landscapes, idiosyncratic rock formations with difficult climbing passages. Fantastic insights into the gorge, respectful! A great hike with great shots that inspire, I really liked that, great performance, thank you very much for that! Best regards from Germany, Angela_*
I appreciate that a lot. This is the kind of stuff I am usually into. Rocks, lack of people, natural beauty. Hope you enjoy!
Excellent high-def capture of this canyon! Looks precarious, but no doubt fun-to-watch here too. 📺👍
Thank you. Super dangerous! I hope only the prepared will find it.
G'day new subscriber, saw you on Yankee Outdoor Adventure's live stream, showing you some love and my support. That was amazing, glad you are keeping it quiet, not just because it's dangerous but because only people who truly love nature and the awe of the spot need to venture there. Love you cinematography, breathtaking. Congrats.
Thank you. Yeah that is what I hope too. One guy before us had left a piece of paper every 20 feet so he wouldn't get lost. Sucks he left them though.
@@MattCookOregon Yes, let's hope it stays welk hidden. Again great job!
Incredible video. The colors were popping in the woods. I’m glad you didn’t show how to get there on the map. People have shown spots in Kentucky were they shouldn’t have. Hell hole is in a beautiful area. You guys stay safe and I enjoyed watching. 👍👍
Thanks Jason. Was a fun change to have a mystery location. Hopefully that keeps the hardcore locals off my back haha
Very cool! Great drone shots aswell.
Thanks Jim. Flying in a canyon is super hard. You kinda lose control cause its sensors go crazy with walls on each side. I def crahsed once.
I know where it is, I've never been there, and never will go there. Watching the video is good enough for me! Awesome footage.
Thank you. Such a dangerous and wild spot, can't complain that most don't want to visit.
Nice capture! Thanks for posting ..
Thanks!
The colors in this video were so vibrant and pretty. Never heard of hell hole before. Interesting spot!
Thank you. I got the perfect fall time for those colors. It is a bit of a secret spot. I sometimes regret covering spots like this. Hopefully not showing the exact location helps.
Awesome canyon, beautiful video! 👍
Thank you very much
Holy cow! You have done an amazing job capturing the incredible beauty of our state 😍 You made ‘Hell Hole’ look heavenly yet dangerous ❤️ Couldn’t subscribe fast enough!
Thanks! Hard to find places usually do look heavenly to me. Do you think some secret spots like this should be kept secret? I have so many cool places that I am not sure if really want to expose.
Matt.Cook.Oregon I think you absolutely should share them! Maybe not the exact location, but showing beautiful places is only going to bring more peeps in to see what amazing content you’ve created with such beauty 💜💜💜 I’d LOVE if you captured Blue Lake 😱😱😍😍
@@BlessOurNest nice i appreciate the encouragement. Which blue lake? Theres like 5 haha
I'm all for keeping locations to yourself. Too often you get under prepared people trying to explore and disaster is the result.
Whoa that's Cool! Awesome video man.
Thanks dude.
I loved the blue salamander or whatever that was. Thanks for sharing that place, and being safe.
Thank you! This is one of the ones I almost didn't share with how dangerous and secretive it is. Oh well people can make their own decisions and this place can defend itself haha.
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome job.. enjoy your videos
Thank you Dan! This is a real hidden gem. I do wonder how close the big fire got to it. Time to explore!
Wow! Great vid!
Very interesting.
Thank you for sharing.
Subscribed for more :)
Thanks so much.
Thumbs up! Well that’s awesome and you had the best guide! Great job shooting and editing this. Still like the spark? If you were buying a Drone now would you still buy the spark? What was the camera you had on your helmet/head for the hands free shots? A GoPro? Wow what an experience. Nice job.
Thanks dude good to hear from you. I love how lightweight and small the spark is, also less to risk than a $1000+ drone. Quality is acceptable, could be better. I really think having something that does 60fps would be nice with all the motion drones do. So ya if I had to get one now I may go with the mavic air. I would recommend spark as a first drone to people for sure though. I have been rocking the chest strap with a go pro hero7 black lately, absolutely love it. I tried out the 4k60fps on this trip, ended up using the batteries too quick with 3 hours of endless bushwacking and missed out on a lot of the climbing footage haha.
Definitely not a rookie sight seeing trip.
Been there as well.
Agree! It was rough. Special place.
Love this Matt!
Hey thank you! Imagine a yoga video here?!
@@MattCookOregon That would be beautiful!
I was here a day ago, cool place, thick forest, and honestly just a heavy different feeling, as if I was at a cemetery, but the scenery is incredible
Awesome. I have been itching to go back. It really is unexpected and hidden in the forest there.
@@MattCookOregon it would be cool to ride some motorcycles down those access roads and chill there with some buds for a day
Wow this is very interesting! I never knew this place existed. Awesome video once again as always! Btw do you match the clips in post from the different cameras? I can't distinguish a difference between your drone footage and the GoPro footage. Very well matched colors and lighting.
Thanks! Always tryin to make things look good, much like you. I didn't have to do much adjusting this one compared to others. I am all about lots of contrast and blacks, easy to make things match with black. But yeah one big adjustment layer for all clips and then I throw in some adjustments to the specific clips that need it. Amazon let me return the hero6 so I could get the hero7 by the way woohoo.
oh nice! that's great news! yea the hero 7 stabilization is amazing! yea adjustment layers make life much easier haha
The Skyrim music just adds so much more ❤
Thanks! I went a little overboard on skyrim back then.
Just found your channel via the Pusa Studios Live Feed, I can see why you call this Hell Hole, the walls of that Canyon look very unstable. Just spent a week hiking in NV UT & AZ. So different from what we have here in NH. Look forward to watching more of your stuff.
Thanks! Ya know, I figured if I am gonna send hundreds of instagrammers somewhere, might as well be a dangerous hell hole. haha. Hey as a wildlife guy you would love Hart Mountain.
czcams.com/video/sjdBJ9JfspM/video.html
Very cool. guys. Most intriguing
Thanks Mike!
I just read an article about this place by William Sullivan. I think it was in the Statesman Journal. Great video!
Nice I read that one too. Kinda gives away location. Its not bad as long as you have the essentials and climbing gear. Thanks for checking it out.
Good job, vivid colors, deep chasam, very much alive
Thank you. I like how half the canyon is green and the other half rock due to sunlight.
Such an awesome spot. Great video:) Feels like I'm there. Can't wait to explore this area this summer. Gotta love Mother Nature.
Thanks. There was a big snow storm recently. I bet it looks way different with all the fallen trees.
Matt.Cook.Oregon It won't be for a few months as I live in Seattle but I'll leave a reply.
@@Qazxswer68 Did you end up going?!
@@MattCookOregon Not yet :/ I stayed the night in Springfield that summer but didn’t have enough time to properly explore so I passed. Then last year , COVID kinda put a pause in traveling. So fingers crossed for an extended weekend this 4th of July and I’ll finally be able to check it out.
Thank you for sharing, I'd really like to get drone footage and know a bit more about the geological makeup of the area
Thanks. It is a wilderness so drones are illegal. From the road sure but please obey wilderness rules.
Whoops I thought this notification was for devils staircase haha. Never mind not a wilderness. Drone on! I dont recommend flying in the canyon like I did. Def crashed. Hard to get stabilization and signal.
Wow that is beautiful
Thank you! I tend to stick to the beautiful but deadly palces often haha.
Absolutely insanity and gods beauty thank you for making my day I would like to see hells hole cave Tim lafferty
Thank you very much. This is such a cool hidden one.
Wow scary but beautiful
Yep. Too beautiful, I had to upload!
Been on top looking down in it a couple of times. Glad that I didn't try to get down in it now
Nice. Always good to be safe. It is such an unexpected crack in the ground.
WOW, Matt!!!!!! that is so cool ... beautiful place but it screams out back off lol, looks so slippery and unpredictable glad you all made it through safely ,, awesome video Matt!!!
Thank you. I usually don't upload the secret places. Couldn't resist. I figure there are other sites out there giving the actual location.
This gonna be my next advventure.
Oh ya? Sweet! Be careful.
Been there and done that. It is spectacular and very hard to find. It does require ropes and climbing gear and experience with them. I tried to go back and couldn't find it again.
Awesome. Most importantly a helmet. One funny thing is a guy had left little pieces of paper to mark his trail. We picked them up as we went.
Great job. I'm new here.
Welcome. Thanks!
This is awesome my friend! I subscribed and stayed active!
Thanks!
Cool video, left alike, new supporter here.
Thanks. What happened to #7 ?
Not trying to be a troll or anything, but what is so dangerous about it? It looks like a larger version of the Great Channels of Virginia, which I hiked back in I believe 2013. I have a video of it.
Is the Hell Hole dangerous because of potential rock slides or just the remoteness of the area? Maybe the camera just doesnt pick up on how steep it really is... Regardless, it really is a beautiful place that you filmed there. Thanks for sharing.
I am basically trying to respect what others have done when posting about this place. A few rescue missions took place here in recent years. The main danger is constant falling rocks. The area is also very remote and off trail. There were 3 parts that needed ropes. I am sure some 'tough guys' did it without ropes, some of them did not make it out though.
It's always good to take precautions so I can see why you used the rope. To me it would be really embarrassing to have to be rescued. Lol Thanks for answering my questions. Take care.
It would be embarrassing! Accidents can happen to the best of us though. To people like us this stuff is just common sense. But 'InstagramPhotographer29' needs to get this exclusive shot at all costs, and might not take the same precautions.
Brasil 🇧🇷
Congratulations belissimo super channel inscribed 😍
obrigado!
You never came back after this comment 😭
Wow!
Yeah that was my thought when first seeing it!
As an Oregonian, I wish I knew where this was.
I feel ya! Thought it was best to not include location. The info to find it is definitely out there if you are motivated. Very dangerous though.
@@coldblue9mm I did but I forget where it is now. Crap.
Just Google it
@@sarahj.5440 you think I haven't?
I know where it is. Please be careful if you go here.
I was born in Portland Oregon in 1956 and on my journey I discovered there's a lot of hellholes across the America and around the world in many of those Advocates of the devil are going straight to hell
Ironically I find this place to be more like heaven. So peaceful.
@@MattCookOregon I was born I was raised all over Oregon working sisters for the forest service working in Portland and working in Bend back in the late 60s for practically nothing for a wage now I can't afford to live in Oregon I don't understand where people get the amounts of money it cost to live? I know how to live in the bush yes I love wild places
True. Most barely get by and some greedy ones suck up all the money. I make about 100 a month doing this it's rough. I have fun though.
@@MattCookOregon it's great I love going on adventures:-) I live for adventure I would be so bored in this modern world if we didn't have places to go and get in the outback thanks for the videos. I wouldn't mind to take a few videos myself but it takes a lot of work and dedication and I'm not very good at learning how to use this phone it's all so sophisticated and there's nobody teaching me. But I also suffered a spinal cord injury so I get around but I have to use a walking stick and hold onto trees and stuff it would be pretty hard to hang onto a camera:-) when I hunt I have to use the gun as a walking stick
Have you been to Lake Creek? Take the road through Lake Creek, OR, back into the hills, keep your eyes out for really cool volcanic tuff formations, steep slopes, small caves, dangerous ravines, waterfalls, and a natural bridge on top of a hill. Just be aware of groves of poison oak and no shortage of rattlesnakes! I'm not kidding. Oh, and don't drink the water.........
Thanks for the tip. Haven't heard of it. Sounds like could be a cool video location. Though from that description it might take days to really learn the area. Any good camping there?
@@MattCookOregon You'll have to search. Might be able to do some primitive camping off the Forest service roads nearby. Nearest town is White City off highway 62. I haven't been out there since "05
Hi my friend! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Stay Blessed!
Thanks = )
I hope the surrounding area nearby Hellhole is safe. I'd like to visit the area, but I am NOT interested in Hellhole itself.
It is pretty ordinary forest road area. The is one trail that leads to a single viewpoint. As you could see we were off trail which can be an easy way to get lost. We picked up a trail of garbage paper that someone left to mark their trail back.
Spectacular! I can see why the general knowledge of the location is discouraged. SAR nightmare.
It is a nice one. Just even to walk to the top and look down. OPB covered it so can't be that big of a secret.
Dude you are crazy
LOL TRUE
It’s like a Minecraft revine
Haha true. Or maybe a Minecraft ravine is like it.
does not look like it is worth the effort to visit. Thanks for saving me a trip!
Thanks. A fire almost touched this spot. That might be an interesting view.
The colors seem overly vibrant and funky.
Looks like usual Oregon to me.
Reminds me of Lord of the Rings
Thanks that is awesome. LOTR is a huge inspiration for me.
This was actually quite boring to watch. However I know if you were to do it now you would keep my interest with no problem. You have come a long way in just a few years 😁🤣😉
I assume this is an audition for matt cook reads mean comments part 2. It's a no from me dog but try again.
@@MattCookOregon it was worth a try!!!
I know where it is ...
Shhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I appreciate you not giving directions to this very special place. I've been doing my part to keep it as little known as possible, but that of course didn't prevent someone before me sullying the place by leaving their plastic water bottle behind. Seriously, folks. If you go, please try not to leave any evidence.
Thanks. I have a bit of guilt covering this over the big well known landmarks I usually do videos on. Off the path places like this are how I usually spend my time when not doing videos. I like to at least show a bit of the rougher stuff as that is more me. On our way in there was a trail of pieces of paper every 10 feet to mark someone's path. Always garbage out there what can ya do but pick it up.
@@MattCookOregon Yep. Pretty much. Hoping to make it up there again soon. This week would be perfect to escape the heat and I just bought a DJI drone and haven't really flown it yet other than to get used to the controls but finding someone who's available (and willing) has always been a bit of a challenge. I guess we'll see. Please, keep posting!
@@jordoneaton7083 Thanks I got a big documentary coming this friday on lighthouses. This place was rough for droning. Definitely crashed my dji spark on the walls, lost control with no gps. What drone did you get? I just finally upgraded from the spark to air2s.
@@MattCookOregon I'd heard a lot if great things about the Air2S so that's also what I went with. I almost went with the Pro 2 or the Zoom but I've seen so many people having problems with some of the features. The 1 inch CMOS sensor really sold me on it as it'll be used mostly for videography.,
@@jordoneaton7083 Awesome. I love air2s so far. I am not the biggest droner. It is basically a 400 foot tripod to me. So all I have cared to learn is how to shoot clean video. I just took the commercial drone test this year so learned a lot from that.
I like your videos but this disappointed me. If it’s dangerous and should be a secret then why did you go?
Because I live for adventure. OPB did a show on it. Not sure why a business gets away with it and I don't.
@@MattCookOregon And I totally appreciate that. I am realizing that my comment seemed very rude and I should have explained what I meant more. I think it is awesome that you went and found it but my disappointment was the fact that the location was not shared. I figure if you went and justified making a video than it should be an encouraged trip to the rest of us fellow adventurers. Kudos to you and your adventurous attitude though. Keep it up with the sweet content that really showcases our state well! I wish more people made videos like you.
@@reidmkerr It is a reasonable question to ask. Locations can be looked up pretty easily. I don't see sharing directions as an essential part of every video. Some adventures I would not recommend to most viewers, Devil's staircase, North sister, camping in 0 degrees. The goal isn't always to be a guide, but to entertain in a variety of ways.
@@MattCookOregonTrue. Happy adventuring!
Well I know where it's located. If you research a bit you can find the area and road to take. I haven't physically been to the location yet but the area it's self is very steep. I've prospected there a bit and it's a very pretty drive.
Yep these secret spots are usually pretty easy to find if you know your way around a google search. A prospector! I have been trying to make a panning video but not finding anything doesn't really make for a good video haha.
@@MattCookOregon If your in the valley check out the Calapooia. Not a lot of gold but enough to have fun. Lots of quartz and iron. At the McKercher Park.
