Epic Overland Adventure - Backroads to Christmas Valley

On this epic Oregon overland adventure we discovered a backroads route from highway 20 East of Brothers Oregon to Christmas Valley. We enjoyed an epic sunset, and explored the Lost Forest and Sand Dunes.

    @@OverlandScout81 I am really jealous for sure. I am located on the East Coast, no BLM Land here :( But I just ordered a new Truck and my plan is of doing Trips to the West Coast and the Mountains to do some off-road trips. And maybe you can be a guide for me one day in Oregon :D Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

I have family in Illinois and last year I traveled to visit them and traveled through BLM land along the way. Once I got to Nebraska that pretty much ended. We really do appreciate having all of this land to explore here in the Northwest! What truck did you get?

    I was just south of there this last week. The area north of summer lake. Very rocky and slow but amazingly beautiful. A lot of times you can cross thru gates/properties if they're not posted. As long as you close the gate behind you. I haven't been north of there so I can't account for the area you guys explored. Always good to be curious though. Cheers!

    I love your channel man. I’m a retired Medic/Firefighter (CalFire) and spend a lot of time now exploring the Nevada desert. (my home state) It’s not much different than a lot of the terrain you travel. My winter camping game isn’t very strong, but I’m working on it. I can’t wait to get out there again in the Jeep, but watching your channel takes the edge off. OIIIIIIIO

    Thanks Sean, that’s a huge compliment and means a lot. I was a police officer for 7 years many years ago and a good portion of my friends are firefighters, police, EMS and nurses. Love all of them and am proud to know them. I’ve started looking at possible trip ideas in Northern Nevada. We drove through there on our way back from our last overland trip to Utah and knew I wanted to explore there. There’s just something special about the desert. Happy adventures and safe travels my friend.

    I’ve been on part or much of that route. It was epic! Was real fun to see it through your lens. We had hundreds of prong horns (I think they were) all during my trips there. I always shy away from the dunes and the crowds it can attract. But really enjoy that region. Thanks for filming it for us.

    Those trips sound amazing Scott! So glad you enjoyed the video. Makes me smile knowing it reminds someone of some trips they have taken or gives them some ideas on where to go. Luckily, this time of year we had the entire dunes to ourselves. The parking area was huge though, so I can imagine how crowded it can get. Lately I’ve been traveling to areas that I normally wouldn’t go to in the warmer parts of the year due to the crowds. Really nice to have those areas to ourselves.
