My home state and home town. I've been waiting for this one. Upstream from the sink is a beautiful hike to a series of waterfalls.

Tristan and Bakeries across the West ... a love story.

Very interesting video! Western history has always been very interesting to me since I was just a kid. I am 73 now so that is a pretty long time. Thanks for the video.

The early pioneer inscriptions are so interesting, as are the old wagon trails. One certainly feels a part of history when standing at these spots. These historic places give us a greater understanding of our time and place in this world. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this video that made me cry (from good memories) a bit. My late husband and I visited here while traveling in our RV. We loved traveling in WY so much. I’m now in AZ, traveling solo in my van, not SUV, but I like your informative videos and Website. I’m getting pretty good at finding free or inexpensive but beautiful campsites thanks to your videos. Thanks for your hard work to make these things available. Stay well!

Lander has a beautiful city park with huge cotton wood trees free camping . Big farmers market also.

I really enjoy your historical perspective on places that remain wild. I'm so glad this area is preserved and accessible. It's definitely added to my list. Thanks again Tristan!

Love the historical content and that's cool that your ancestors have traveled through South Pass years before. As you mentioned Jean Baptiste Charbonneau is also said to buried near in Oregon. Personally I find the history of the Oregon burial to be more believable. At the time Charbonneau was a business man and mining investor. He was leaving mined out California camps searching for new opportunities in Silver City, Idaho Territory or Bannock City/Virginia City, Idaho Territory (now Montana). He was traveling by stagecoach when he became ill and died on the trail near Danner, Oregon. Also, Wikipedia lists his burial place as Danner, Oregon in 1866...

I'd more believe her grave to be in the Dakotas. Anything is claimed to catch a tourist...

​@@artistaloca4 ~ You say, "her grave." I was talking about Jean Baptiste Charbonneau the son of Sacajawea.

Right before you said you wondered if any fish get stuck underground, I was literally thinking if any people have ever gotten stuck underground!

What a great video - both the underground river and the historic parts. I love traveling to places like that, but there are so many and this lets me "visit" many of them that I'll probably never get to in person. The underground river is especially interesting because it looks like that it actually does a loop and travels underneath itself (like the Tehachapi loop for trains in southern california). I doubt many rivers in the world do that.

You have such a soothing voice.

Thanks for the GPS coordinates! We are headed out that way next week in our own SUV RV: our 2006 Lincoln Navigator. Full size bed, Suaoki 240 battery, pull out rear table, and a $20 storage cart that acts as a chuck stand. We’ve done multiple weekend trips in it, this will be our first week+ adventure. We love our rig-thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you so much for going to the Trail... I cherish the opportunity to stand on the same ground as our ancestors...

Love this channel brother.👍🏼 Thank you for all the great content. Put a couple locations on my next adventure list. Great history insights also.

Such an interesting and beautiful video. Stuck in UK, I will never get to these amazing places, but the way you film, and the way you explain things, makes me feel, just for a few minutes, that I am actually there. It was all really fascinating but if I had to pick one part in particular, possibly Names Hill. The trout were pretty amazing too. Oh gosh, it was all wonderful! I am so looking forward to our next outing together......!!

@@wolfgangk2824 Thank you, I will watch that. I have travelled quite a bit in Europe, but I am always interested in places that I don't know.

Loved the video especially the ending in the Uinta Mountains. I spent time there as a kid fly fishing at Chepeta Lake with my Uncle - great memories!

I especially enjoyed the part about Names Hill. I have visited Inscription Rock, a/k/a El Morro, in western NM a couple of times and had no idea there were several others across the west (not even counting petroglyphs, which are fascinating in their own right). One reason El Morro drew passersby -- including early Spanish explorers -- to its particular spot is that there was/is a reliable pool of water at its base. There's a steepish but easy trail to the top, where there is evidence of earlier native settlement.

Well how fortunate for me. I’m driving from N.Y. to Oregon in a week and was planning on driving south through Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Lander and eventually ending up in Logan before heading towards home in southern Oregon. This was perfect timing, so thank you for all the fantastic tips on where to stop and explore. I would have chosen the exploding bread as well.

Just stumbled on this. I was just at Jean Baptist’s grave. Right on the oregon/Idaho border. I’m on an extremely long road trip and your videos are helping me find some interesting places

Another fascinating video. Loved the sinks and the rise, the quick view of Landers, and Oregon trail history and how you linked your drive down same area as your ancestors. So good!

Thanks for showing this. Your videos are always informative.

Love your videos... thank you 😊

The Rainbow Trout are huge WOW! Nice explore so much history.

I visited Sinks Canyon in 2002. I didn't feed the fish (the coin operated fish food machines were there then). However, those monster trout were clearly feeding on some kind of insect on the surface. I think that, had fishing been allowed in that pool (it isn't), it might have been possible to catch one of those monsters on a dry fly. What a kick that would have been! I did spot a few browns in there, but they were mostly rainbows.

So cool to trace the steps of your ancestors! Always enjoy your videos, Tristan. Thank you. 😉🇨🇦

Great video today. Science, history, and geography. Always love a cemetery.. Well done. Can't pick a favorite today. Loved it all!

Hey Tristan....very interesting video ,many famous people found, and interesting underground river....love your historical info...Would love to visit that Cemetery some day.....from Hank and Pam from South Texas

Fascinating!! Thanks for the most interesting history lesson and landscapes!!

I enjoyed the part about the Orgegon trail history. .......and learning about the Sink. Thanks for sharing.

Great history lesson! Keep up the good work and stay safe! 👍👍👍

Another excellent video! My husband and I enjoy your work so much and appreciate all the adventures. I’ve not commented before, that I can remember, but your interpretation of the natural environment and cultural history is perfect. Thank you, Tristen, and continued safe travels. Peace~

Great video...I lived on the Wind River Indian reservation back in the late 1970’s up above Lander. Love that area.👍👍👍

Sites I saw when I was a child, the Popoga and South Path. My grandfather built a two roomcabin 1 mile northwest of Atlantic City where my mother walked to school in 1st grade. He panned for gold for 2 years and finally moved the family to Casper.

Favorite Part : The cemetery; what s beautiful place...

Fascinating glimpse into the Oregon Trail

I really enjoyed traveling with you. Thanks so much!

I really enjoyed the historical journey. Thank you for taking us along.

As a child, I used to Camp Sacajawea Girl Scout camp in South Jersey. They told us that Sacajawea was buried there! There was a detailed story about there being no coffin, just wrapped in an Indian blanket which freaked out us 8 year olds. That was before the internet made it easy to fact check!

Great video Tristan love that part of the country.

A very nice mix of the great outdoors and historical information. The best part was when you were on the same route than your ancestors took in their trek west. Things like this really put life in perspective. Thanks!

Love always going along on your beautiful adventures . I would have never seen if weren't for you .thank you.

Glad you added the historical interest, great video.

Loved this video!!! Thank you Tristan! you are an excellent entertainer :)

Thanks for the history and tour!

Love the history in your trips. More please 💕👍🙏🇺🇸🌲

Looks like some wonderful catch and release fly fishing WOOOW

Great video! South Pass is on my bucket list.

Thank you for sharing your trip with us. It was very interesting.

Its always fun watching your videos

I really liked the history you included. Lots of people do the beautiful natural things, few include the history.

Thank you again!! I've never been out west so this is all so interesting and beautiful!

I love the history, thank you!

First time to your channel, love the western history. The views are awesome. Adding it to my bucket list. I'm a Subscriber now👊🏻

Man, I just recently discovered your channel and I've been hopscotching through your vids. I love them. I retired last week and I gotta get out there.

Wow! The sink and rise are amazing! I've got to go check that place out! The bread looked awesome. Sacajewea graveside, that's pretty cool. Great history of the South Pass. Thanks for sharing. Wow! Jim Bridger! Uintah Mountains, beware of the Skinwalker! 😉😄

Great coverage. Thanks

What an awesome video. Thanks!

Wow the fish are very cool what an amazing spot..

I always learn from you. Thank you !!!

As for Narcissa Prentiss Whitman, you are correct. Her husband was scalped, which she witnessed. After she thought it was safe, she went to attend to him and she , herself was scalped. I know this as she was my Great Grandmother’s Aunt. Thank you for posting this as since I was a kid I wondered what it looked like for them on their mission west!

Thanks for your adventures!

That is such a cool water phenomenon.

Love your videos and the history ......love the history lessons

Thanks, I enjoyed watching n learning

Thank you for all this history!

Perfect mini documentary 🤙🏻

Love the Sink and Rise. Especially interesting regarding the stretch of Oregon trail upon which pioneers traveled. Some of my ancestors settled in Salt Lake and Tooele. Perhaps they took this route with the Moses Clawson wagon company. I wonder if they're names are on the cliffs...

fascinating, thanks, never knew about the sinks and the rise

Great video and amazing place... Thanks

New sub, I will be following you along on your journey. Thank you for showing me the beautiful parts of America that my old ass hopes to see one day.

Nice content. Thanks for your channel.

Great video. Good job.

I believe those types of hydraulic formations are found when there is limestone present. Limestone being a soft rock would erode away first leaving the harder rock exposed .

Thanks for sharing this!

Whitman’s were murdered in south-eastern Washington, around Walla Walla. Very interesting history. You can go see the ruins of their homes, hospital of sorts, etc. The wagon wheel tracks are still clearly visible. E were actually spent two days there since it captured our interest so much.

Jeez, I really want to see all these sights. I haven't been to Wyoming yet. Excellent vid.

Great video, very informative. Thanks

Also had ancestors make that journey to Utah. A lot of cool history. That said, I can't stop thinking about how your Tenkara rod would have performed with those monster rainbows. That would be a killer video ... LOL

The Ultimate catch and release!

Fabulously interesting. Imagine if pioneers had had spray paint.

My dad like to travel by car with his family. He like the west also. Thanks for taking me along.

Fish just go with the flow.😊 No fish were harmed during this video.

I felt like I was watching my own video. I was just at Sinks on my last vacation. Hope you made it to the upper Falls. Landers a pretty cool town as well maybe a little dated but that gives it character. Great video

Nice video! Cool information man! Time to add in some gold prospecting too while your out. Gold prospecting history, some panning, maybe some metal detecting as well. Good luck man! Joe gold

I liked the fact that you can go to the start of the trails that settled the West.

@ 3:09 Holy Moly! @11:46 Wow! One of your best.

So beautiful 😍!

Very intriguing

Bringsback memories as I work on a pipeline that cross the Origon Kenny Brace trail where it crossed the Green River in Wyoming. David Hagerman

Very cool video I wondered if the fish swam through it kind of like a highway

That exploding bread video made me hungry LOL. I'll have to drive up to Wyoming to get one. Though I would think I could find something similar where I am in a city of 2 million.

Thank you good video love the history'

Very good descriptions. We did this kind of travel 45 years ago in, guess what, a Ford Econoline.

This just showed up in my feed and I'm glad it did. Wyoming is awesome and lived there for awhile. Another great "Names" location in Wyoming is Independence Rock south of Casper. McKenzie River in Oregon drops into a lava tube for a bit also.

And deep in that underwater world, you find the albino eyeless fish, wishing their ancestors hadn't decided to go exploring. ;-)

Just stumbled across this. I crossed the South Pass just this summer on 191 from Rock Springs headed for Idaho,, and later in the summer I crossed south from Rock Springs down to Vernal. Canoed a couple hundred miles of the Green River.

Loved your video! There are so many things to see. Did you go to South Pass City? Nancy

I'm pretty sure there's another grave for Baptiste clear out in southeast Oregon somewhere and you did visit that so yeah who knows interesting thanks for sharing your adventures dude love it

like your work very much.

Best fishing hole I have ever seen
