มุมมอง 4.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In April 2022, I attempted a thru hike of the 42-mile-long Tecumseh Trail in southern Indiana. I enjoyed beautiful spring weather, wildflowers, and interesting geology along the way. Music via Artlist.io
You were in my neck of the woods in this video. I loved that spot and have happy memories being there before I became too disabled to hike or camp. The awesome view from the cliffs would always take my breath away. It was glorious to visit it again through your eyes. Your narration was educational and did this beautiful area justice. You have won a new subscriber. I look forward to enjoying future hikes with you. Peace from Downeast Maine.
Hi Max this is Dan. I worked with your wife last Summer in Augusta, Maine. My family wanted me to continue to make content, so we made a family account. I just hiked Franconia Ridge and made a new video. It was clear and amazing. I wish you would of had better weather last year, when you hiked it. You have inspired me to make better quality videos. Check it out if you want. I hope to see more content from you.
Great video, loved the geology information!
great video! We will use your route when we do this next week. Thank you!
I really liked your video. Beautiful scenery and very informative about the geology of Grand Canyon and about the running water crisis on the Navajo lands
Awesome TH-cam video
This is pretty chill. I like it!
Very nice video Max.
Do you, by chance, have a list of supplies as well as gear and things you prepared to take or wish you took on this trip? I'm planning a kayak trip myself and would love to know through your experience thank you!
This trail is on my bucket list also.
@max.wright which backhaul service/kayak rental did you use?
Hi! We used Kayak the Colorado and they were great to work with. www.kayakthecolorado.com/
Very nice video. Well done and I enjoyed the scenery and the information about the area. Would love to see every second of the 17 mile trip! Can’t get enough of that scenery. Could you tell me the requirements to kayak here? Is there a permit process? Thank you.!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! At the time of our trip, there were no permits required for paddling or camping. I recommend looking into a backhaul service like Kayak the Colorado if you're ever interested in visiting. They have a FAQs page on their website that helps with trip planning. www.kayakthecolorado.com/
@@max.wright thank you for the info
Nice overview of the trail. I’m thinking this will be my first adventure of 2024. I’m curious about the battery pack you brought with you. How many mAh capacity was the unit? Also, did you see any ticks out there?
Hi! I believe I brought just an old 5000 mAh battery that actually failed in the middle of the trip (had to charge via a outdoor plug at a motel we passed on day 3 or 4). Since then, I've upgraded both my filming equipment and battery. I now carry a 20,000 mAh I found on Amazon. Ticks were not a problem for me in April. Hope you can make it out there this year. It's a gem of a trail for our state!
Thanks for posting this before you go home. It's means a lot to me that you showed my home state with so much respect.
Your voice is always inviting and warm to hear!Your videos draw me in and put a smile on my face as well as my heart! Thank you!
Great 👍 video for sharing!
Been super impressed since I first saw your Tecumseh hike on the Indiana hiking subreddit. My opinion hasn't changed, this was beautiful.
Thank you for the kind words! It really means a lot to hear from someone that's been a sub for such a long time!

Loved this video! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely fantastic project as exhibited by narration, photos and video. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you so much for the kind words! Check out my more recent stuff if you have the time. I like to think I've improved somewhat over the last year. But still so much to learn when it comes to making videos :) Take care!
@@max.wright Hi Max! I will def check out your other vids. You have a gift! My friend and I thru hiked Tecumseh last weekend and had a blast. Hoping for one more outing before the bitter cold sets in. Happy trails. :)
When you started talking about geology I instantly subbed. Great video!!
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear that you like the rock talk :)
My family will be in this region, next Summer. Because of this video, we might visit The Maroon Bells.
I highly recommend :)
So awesome!
So cool
Great video!! Great content!
Amazing!!!!
A perfect Winter hike. Great video and editing. You put such great time and effort into your videos.
Thank you again! It is a lot of effort but it's so worth it
While in New England, you have to check out Acadia National Park North and South Bubble, I would love to hear you explain how those round rocks got there. While at Acadia, you have to do the Precipice trail. Also, you have to do Franconia Ridge trail in NH.
I've actually been there as a kid on vacation with my family. But Savannah hasn't been yet so we're definitely making a trip there!
Amazing video.
The life of a night nurse. There has been so many times that I have gotten off from work in the morning and went off on a journey with my family.
I really don't know how yall do it 🙏
As usual, brilliant video.
Nice vid! Im staying here this weekend. Ive seen some people complain about privacy issues or people not being respectful and trying to enter. I saw some mention a "trap door" that keeps people from coming to the top deck. Do you know anything about this?
Yup, there's a trapdoor to keep people and animals from climbing the stairs during your stay. Just remember to be polite to any day visitors and have fun!
This is my third video I have watched of your channel. These videos are so good. Keep up this great content.
I love how you're binge watching these lol! Glad to hear that you enjoy them 😄
I love this video. Very educational. My family is going to this region next Summer.
Funny story. I currently work with your wife. She mentioned that you just hiked Cutler, Maine Preserve. My wife and I did it earlier in the Summer. I mentioned that I have a TH-cam Channel honoring my friend that passed away last year and I bring his Swiftie shirt with me and my family on our trips. She mentioned your TH-cam channel. So I figured to subscribe. Great video. I will try to check out the rest of them.
She told me all about you! 😄 That's so cool that you have your own channel too. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. What an incredible way to honor and remember him. Thanks for the sub and I hope you enjoy these videos!
@@max.wright Thanks
Thanks for sharing.. You lost me at the 180 million years ago..
Here's my reply to a similar comment: Pretty amazing that we can see and interact with rocks that old, isn't it? I was actually a bit off in my video for the dates. Some more recent work on the Navajo Sandstone indicates a bit older age at about 200 million years old. The Navajo has been dated using two different techniques that, for our purposes here, generally agree with each other. The first method is by dating zircon grains within the sand itself and the second method is by uranium-lead dating of carbonate "lenses" that are occasionally found in the unit (I'm even standing in front of one of those localized carbonate layers during my little lecture part of this video). If you would like to learn more, I've linked some great resources on the subject below. Here's a great video from a professor that summarizes the Navajo, including the zircon dating. He begins talking about the ages at about 15 minutes in: th-cam.com/video/AN2hxtOpcjw/w-d-xo.html And here's a great paper about the carbonate dating: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article/47/11/1015/573442/Earliest-Jurassic-U-Pb-ages-from-carbonate Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the interesting geology. Great all around video of the highest quality. Peace.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Yes, it is absolutely out of this world. I did this trip with some friends several years ago. I’d do it again and again!
can you visit if its booked?
Good question! You can visit even when it's booked (although you cannot go inside unless you have a reservation). I highly recommend visiting for a daytrip even if you can't secure a reservation for an overnight stay. Just be courteous for anyone actively using the tower.
Nice scenery and beautiful shots! Can’t believe you went swimming! I’ve jumped in that river twice and it is the coldest water I’ve ever been in! Thanks too for the geology break-down. How did y’all like those liquid logic kayaks?
Glad you enjoyed the vid! The water was indeed cold but I couldn't resist jumping in! Truthfully, I'm not a very knowledgeable paddler but the liquid logic kayaks served their purpose well! Lightweight and plenty of room for gear storage.
Just a suggestion but your to young to pull off a mustache it just looks silly wait a little longer
What's life without a little silliness? 😄

Cool video, buddy! I enjoyed hiking the Sheltowee trace. The bison way trail is nice, too. It's a little disappointing that the bridge is still out. I had to do a lot of fording in March this year. It was cold but well worth it
Glad to see that you're enjoying these videos 😄 I'm unfamiliar with the Bison Way Trail, I'll have to look into that one. Stay tuned for some cool stuff soon that's in the pipeline!
That looks like a great place to camp and kayak. What's the average price for an outfiiter in that area if you don't mind me asking? I've never been out on the Colorado. I usually camp and kayak in the great smoky mountain range. Id love to head west for a few days and shoot some content. You got me sold on it. Cool video man!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video! If I remember correctly, I believe it was around $225. That includes two kayaks for two days and a drop-off upstream. You can save a lot of money by bringing your own kayaks. That said, it was 100% worth the price.
@@max.wright that is definitely worth the price!
When you say you were dropped off by your outfitter what does that mean
Good question! There are various outfitters nearby where you can rent kayaks, canoes, etc. They'll give you and your kayak a ride upstream so that you can just float back down the river to Lee's Ferry (where we parked our car)
Emily and I have done the same float/paddle trip. It is indeed over the top for scenery, and the water is so clear and cold, feels great on a sunny day. Life is good.
There really is nothing more refreshing than that water!
Very cool. Fun watch
Thank you!
Had a blast making this with you, Max! Let's do another one soon! 😀
Maybe one on the AT itself? 😁
@@max.wright yes!!! Maybe Maine! 😎
Hang on fellas! You gotta bring me too! As soon as I saw this one I said "I wanna do that!"
@@andrewhauke5769 I feel a trip brewing
Great video! Next time some trout fishing is highly recommended! World class location
Absolutely! I was definitely missing my rod this trip. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful video. Just saying though, if you do more kayaking you should make sure you have your paddle blades correctly oriented. In most of the footage, the blades were reversed.
Oops, that's embarrassing! Thanks for the tip!
She handled those waves like a champ!
