Hells Canyon, ID - RV Living
We visit Hells Canyon and stay at the Copperfield Park Campground right on the Snake River in Halfway, ID. Without a way to get on the water, we do our best to explore as much of the canyon as we're able to in the van. Hells Canyon Scenic Byway winds around the Snake River taking us along the canyon floor to the Hells Canyon Dam and Hells Canyon Creek Visitor Center. Kleinschmidt Grade perches us on the side of the canyon wall as we climb to the Sheep Rock overlook for a view of Hells Canyon from the rim.

Oh . . .My . . .Goodness!! The drone shots at 14:09 are seriously the BEST I have ever seen. Even some of the "professional" channels I follow don't capture footage that good. Way to go!! Some day, this will go on my bucket list to be conquered by my tiny rig.
Hells Canyon is absolutely breathtaking!! I love you guys!! TJ doing “laundry” was the best!! My husband would be just as industrious as TJ, that was awesome!!!
new person here this week really liking this . have watched a few
Dumb and Dumber is such a great movie! So funny!!!
You to make this way to enjoyable 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My son and I have a Brittany and 2 German Wirehaired Pointers and we hunt Hells Canyon for Chukars & Huns... It is truly breath taking... Glad y’all got to enjoy our home state !
Wow! long before you all were born (1958 or so, I was 12 my family was visiting other family in Idaho. One of my older uncles was working on the Hell's Canyon Damn and took my mom , brother and myself up there, He took my mom out on a large platform overlooking the damn construction. I was terrified but I've never forgotten how beautiful it was. I have never been back in that area so watching your video brought back so many memories. Thank you so mu. I also liked you Tulsa Video as I live in Stillwater, Oklahoma. y'all are so cool, again, thanks..
There are laundry facilities in Halfway which is 22 miles West of Copperfield Park in Oxbow. Also, 2 grocery stores, 2 gas stations, and 2 Restaurants, plus a take and bake Pizza Shop.
Gorgeous videography AGAIN! The views were amazing!
Great video you two are so fun to watch.
Thank you guys for sharing.
Dig your honest vibe, hope all is well😉
Great adventure - looks like neat place to visit. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see you guys on the road again. Stay safe
Outstanding video thanks for sharing.... Love the clip at the end of the video of the Brittany :-)
LOL what a great way to wash clothes. Great idea!!
Wow! 😉 That is some morning hair.
TJ didn 't let that van stay dusty very long. I had a brother in law that was like that. We would take out off road vehicles to the desert and he would spend his spare time cleaning everything. I would just ride and clean when I got back home. But it's good he keeps a clean machine.
Hey Bri and TJ....well done video with excellent drone work....also loved how you do laundry in remote areas....Very nice area to drive through and that road was a bit narrow....worth it in the end...beautiful spot at that table...anyway, keep those videos coming...Haven't commented lately but have been following your adventures!!!!All the best from Hank and Pam from South Texas
Wow..Loyd Christmas and Harry Dunne references?!? Mad respect to TJ for that being his favorite movie. It’s easily in the top 5 and that scene is one of the best. Oh...y’all also went to an awesome canyon..that was cool too 😂🤙. How many people have y’all ran into that are like “hey do you have a KZread channel?”
You are just awesome TJ with the laundry. Maybe a small electric one that can fit in your shower. You can get them on Amazon. Love your KZread channel. You are truly inspiring me. It is just beautiful there
OMG your videos are the best! The detail information on the areas you visit as well as the videography are a great source of information for those of us thinking of visiting those sites. TJ is such a master of invention, amazing.
That. is. epic. morning. hair.
Your videos always bring a smile to our face. Sadly, we just lost our house and RV in the Holiday Farm fire in Oregon. We will live vicariously through you guys for now.
I'm going to look into diesel Van's. We live in homedale Idaho. The break down doesn't discourage us. We just turned 60 and looking at our options. Sorry we missed you. Love your channel.
Great video keep up the good work.
I was gonna comment that your washing machine looked off balance.. but very cute! I'm impressed with your drive up in the hills!! Hell's canyon needs a beginning sign.. What goes in must come out.. not for the faint of heart!
Enjoyed the video. I'd suggest looking up Hat Point, Hells Canyon Overlook, Buckhorn Overlook, Granny View Vista, Red Mountain Watchtower, Horse Creek Overlook, and Wallowa Mountain Loop (NF-39) if you are still in the area.
your video's are nice I like the aerial drone shots I am into drones, you guys rock

Awww, Doug 🥰 Thank you! Hope you’re able to get out on your own adventures soon, maybe we’ll see ya on the road!
Wow 😲 Hells Canyon is beautiful 😄 Thanks for the views 👍
Amazing shots on the road to the overlook! I had some butterflies 🦋 just watching! Nice job incredible place
Head north and checkout Wallowa Lake area. It's in the north east corner of Oregon easy to get to off Interstate 84 at La Grande...
Another great video! I am Boondocking on the Salmon River tonight, about an hour north of McCall, Idaho. I will be heading south of McCall and then over to Stanley. We must be pretty close. I have been trying to stay out of the smoke! I know your videos run a week or two behind, but if you guys are still in the area I would love to meet you guys and the pups. Dan
That is actually Oxbow, Oregon that Copperfield Park is in. Halfway is 17 miles away.
Another great video . I was surprised you hung laundry on the fence. Must have been a necessity. :)
Watching TJ do the laundry made me smile and laugh. Today was a day when I really needed that. THANKS
Nice video guys beautiful area.

Thanks, Tim!
Feel so blessed to be able to travel vicariously with you two. Your drone videos are breathtaking. Many thanks. But the HOOT of this one was definitely TJ’s Laundry Adventure and the “Clampet” comment. Years ago while vacationing on HIlton Head Island we hung our beach towels over the balcony rail of our condo to air dry. They had not been up there long when the OFFICE called to say that was not allowed. Thankful for campgrounds and grass roots common sense! Again, thanks.
You are visiting in our back yard,,,
Good vid guys.
Love the bed hair. :) I actually screenshotted you with your hair fixed and told my hairdresser that I want that same cut. A bucket and a plunger from Dollar Tree make a good washing machine.
That. Was. Brilliant.
Just an observation. In the description, the first paragraph you say you are at the campground in Halfway, ID. Further down under campground the address is Halfway, OR. You might want to correct the first paragraph. Great video! Will have to first one day. Thanks for the tips.
I was shocked to see all the shirts that TJ had on the fence. I always thought he only had three!

Beautiful!! As always!! Thanks for taking us along.
Thank yall for being so worth watching and sharing time with.
We had to laugh....we've been using a larger dry bag from our "yak-packing" days to do laundry like that. It's a great way to stretch the visits to the laundromat, but TJ is the master at all things mcGuyvery! Glad to see you posted cuz we've been concerned to learn if y'all were OK. Again thanks for always making such a wonderful production. We never realized how much work goes into a video till we started making them. You two are the best!

Great minds 🤓 The dry bag worked really well but we had too much laundry, hence the evolution to the 5 gallon bucket! Thanks for your concern, we just took a little break but we’re back! And you’re not kidding about what a labor of love making videos is but we love capturing the moments for ourselves to look back on later and also to share with all of you guys, we do appreciate you being here. Thanks for the love 😘
I agree with Doug... i always look forward to the video’s, cuz i really think ya’ll are real about everything ,,,,TJ Im getting me one of them small propane bottles for my grill,.... awesome.
TJ - You are so clever. You always amaze me.
love the music while doing laundry...
👋🏻Florida ☀️🌴🇺🇸
One of your best videos, yet! Thanks for bringing back many memories of my travels in Idaho.
It has been on my bucket list to go there for years thank you for the visual reinforcement of that I’m going next season Thomyt
Really enjoy that you take the time to “be” in some of the beautiful locations and picnic. Always feels like being part of the natural surroundings. Be safe.
I was going to say TJ should have rigged up the sewing machine to wash the clothes but his bucket contraption was amazing! And so was the drone footage!
Love watching you guys! You are at the top of my list to watch each week. I get excited when I see you have posted something new
thumbs up.
Thank you for the laughs - and no excuse not to get laundry done!
Thank you for taking me on your drive up to Sheeprock Lookout, just beautiful. I think I would have had six heart attacks on the way up (one where you could see the edge of the road had been washing away) then twelve on the way down because I would have then been on the "edge of the world" side! Love your videos.
Love your videos. Y'all always brighten my day.
Love TJ’s ‘Heath Robinson’ approach to getting the laundry done. Beautiful scenery. Your country has such diverse and stunning landscapes.
Enjoyed the washing machine development! The drone footage of your drive up and around was very nice! Thanks!
Well done to both of you. Thank you.

Great video and thanks for sharing I have watched some of your other videos and appreciate your positive outlooks by the both of you. Oh and that washing machine section was too funny. Safe travels.
Wishing the Clampets a safe journey.
We’ve only been to a little piece of Idaho before, but it was beautiful and we can’t wait to go back!
Love your videos and narration; so well done. Traveled along the Snake River in route to Glacier many years ago. Need to get back there, so beautiful. Looks like McgGuyver only did his own laundry ... hysterical!
Your hell's canyon adventure was awesome.ive got to go. Thanks guys

You two crack me up! TJ with his homemade drill washing machine and Bri rinsing with a garden hose 🤣😂
TJ, you redeemed yourself!! I concur, pretty ingenious clothes washer you created. Guess when you’re not near a store to buy fresh underwear ya gotta be creative 😂 Thanks for a wonderful video - your music selections are spot on! And your info on the area was so insightful - an amazingly remote part of the country. Be safe - can’t wait till your next video 👍😎
TJ is a genius!! That drive in hells canyon was spectacular- loved that you were so isolated!! Say hi to Norm and Kim 😀
TJ and Brie. I truly have to give a big hoorah to you both, watching your channel now for little over 2 years and y'all have progressed so much in your video editing and development and it is off the hook, especially with TJ's drone flying (not saying he's a drone racer yet, but) the video he gets with the drone is just undeniably some of the best scenic shots we have seen. Maybe one day we can do some videos as good as y'all. Thank you for all the awesome scenery shots and info y'all have included in your videos, until we meet again be safe in your travels and enjoy life every single day. John&Becky
Beautiful!! I never noticed drone shots on your videos before. Loved them.
Was a great video and I loved your washing machine 😂 what ever it takes. Safe travels
Love the drone footage!
Another great video. Your drone and video production are excellent. The highlight for me was the footage driving through the canyon with River by Emorie playing. New artist for me and I just added her to my Amazon Music. Thanks for a great break to my work week.
Simply stunning views!!! Looking forward to your Idaho segment. My in-laws visited Lower Stanley, Idaho every year for 16 straight years.....from 1978 on. They would leave Texas about the time the grass started growing (leaving me the key to the yard tool shed! LOL).....and leave Idaho about the time the snow started falling. They camped better than 6 months of the year until my father in-law's health stopped them. Love your channel and you two are awesome!! Safe travels!
Another awesome video! Love your videos! That’s a great washing machine TJ 👍😁
Hi Bri, tell MacGyver Sandy really liked his washing machine, pretty good improvise and you were rocking the morning hair! Hope all is well, Bandit says hi . Jeff , Sandy and Bandit in the Grey Fox.
Whoa Nellie.... that was an amazing idea to wash clothes! Brilliant! 😝. And I loved the morning hair! 💕. Was hoping you were going to take a river trip....kept waiting for it! Oh, well. Enjoyed the trip, as always guys! Until next week .....
Gosh, reminds me of Hat Point, just north of Joseph. My Dad took us as kids. The car overheated with those steep terrible roads in the hot sun. We hated it and were scared stiff.
Was wondering where you guys were 😀. Cool destination, great scenery, nice drone shots. River is gorgeous. Hells Canyon now on my list. Travel safe.

Great video, hell's canyon is fantastic, the video footage was just great 👍 👌 😀, wow TJ needs to trademark his camping washing machine 😀, very interesting, and he thought you married him just for his looks, lolololol, 🤔🤪, you guys are fun to watch, travel safe.

Good job TJ washing clothes! It seemed like a lot of work though We look like the Clampetts all the time. Barbara washes a lot in the kitchen sink and hangs them out on our awning. It looks like you guys worked your way back North. What are your plans for fall and winter?
nice video !!!
Best video yet! TJ’s skills never cease to amaze. Next time he does laundry he needs to bleach out that Gators t-shirt though. Ha! Just kidding Bri. We were worried about you guys since it had been a couple of weeks since last your last post. Can hardly wait till next week’s video. Be safe!
We thought this was your best video yet! What a fun adventure and how awesome it was to bump into you two yesterday! Happy travels! 💙Norm & Kim
