- In this video I do on an overnight backpacking trip in the Grand Staircase Escalante area of Utah. I am joined this trip by my niece Christine. We hike to the beautiful and amazing Golden Cathedral. After dropping down from the Egypt Trailhead we enter Fence Canyon which joins up with the Escalante River. There are several water crossings and an amazing Petroglyph panel along the way. We make camp at the confluence with Neon Canyon before heading through the canyon to the stunning Golden Cathedral.

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy this weeks video. My apologies that some of the darker scenes are not fully in focus. My tripod and camera were knocked over by the wind on my Canyonlands trip several weeks ago. My lens is having focusing problems in low light ever since. I’ve got a new lens on the way so this will not be happening in future videos. :) Thank you and Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there!
You should clean your lens. They are probably dusty, or already wear out. :)
Still better than my videos on TH-cam. LOL Don
I didn’t noticed that. 🙈🙂 may be you balanced it with your very good video skills 😎
Clean your contacts, manually rotate the lens focus ring but do not force also inspect camera reset settings and understand the proper exit procedure.
Some settings when changed revert back to the old setting if not set and exited properly.
Also check your camera focus sensors, if you have sensors set for full field balance that will sensor differently from small point sensor field evaluation.
Shine a flashlight through the lens look through the other end for dust and scratches then flip around and do the same.
Never clean the glass dry.
Great videos and commentary, love you work, sorry I mean vacation adventures :)
Dan
It looks like one of the elements slipped, you can see that it's blurrier on the right than the left.
Beautiful area being hiked by two beautiful ladies
The old Indian drawings so cool
Every day I have my lunch and watch your captivating videos. It's a perfect way to escape and appreciate the beauty of your creativity. I wouldn't be surprised if you have your own regular television show someday!
Hello Catherine, it's good to see you and Christine partner up for a scenic outdoor adventure. You chose some excellent music to accompany your beautifully
filmed video. The very best to you for your good health and safety. 🤗
Thank you so much Ron.
Happy Mother's day. I miss my mom . Thanks for SHARING takes my breath away watching can't imagine how it is in real time . Got a lead on a handicap ramp for my motorhome for free ... looking forward to be on the highways again . Tips for easy accessibility is always a hit .
Yet another magnificent video. Great hike, campsite, music, and petroglyphs. Thanks for another beautiful Sunday morning video.
Peaceful and scenic, like a frozen moment in time, nice !
Good morning Catherine. I watched your latest video this Monday morning while having my coffee. I can only reiterate what everyone has said about your abilities! Your eye for beauty is a gift.

Wow, another indescribably wonderful video, both visually and sonically.
Good Morning Miss Cat! Another adventure in the books indeed!!! Very nice!!! Be safe!!!
Absolutely amazing video Kat, nobody does it better than you do! Thanks so much!
Amazing what time and a little water and wind can do to solid rocks. Amazing planet.
That was so amazing to watch. It just kept getting better and better with a spectacular spot to end on. Thank you for sharing your amazing life works again Catherine.
Thanks so much Bob.
This is one of my favorite videos, amazing rock formations and colors👍🌹🎩
OMG this is so beautiful katherine the flowers and the plants and the rocks thank you for sharing this ❤️
Thank you for your incredible, peaceful, adventurous and healing journey. safe travels Cat.
Thank you Gary!
Good job on the music for this one...set the mood of the place very nicely. Also brought back memories of being there.
A Ranger in that area stated that these formations we see are the result of wind, water, and time. She elaborated on the time aspect in that we are living at a time when these formations exist. They weren't always there nor will they be in the future. We have the benefit of living in this time when these natural sculptures are as they are. I imagine that the ancient peoples who lived in this area witnessed other forms in the rocks not seen today. Very beautiful take on your journey there.
What a trip and beautiful scenery and footage. Love this. 🤩👍🙌
Another beautiful video that we enjoyed so much!
Awesome colorful country and enjoying your video and watching now awesome Catherine 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎 AWESOME video and be safe out there too 👌👍😎❤️ video

Beautiful video with the perfect background music. Thanks!
My husband and i went in the little town of Escalante recently. We believe we were behind you and Christine in live at a local convenient/gas station. We want to say hello however we didnt want to bother you. We are each suscribed to your channel and have been enjoying your videos for the past 3 years. You have inspired us to get off the sofa and explore the west. Mostly, we love your acceptional camera skills and thr presentation of the areas you visit. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Please say hello if you see me again. I don’t mind at all. :)
What beautiful scenery !!!
Thank you for bringing such a view into my desktop.
Beautiful hike Catherine. I woke up to watch your Vlog on Mothers Day, so, Happy Mothers Day!
Thank you for this stunning vidio Catherine👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍
Thanks for another beautiful video. It is nice to walk among the red rocks and also have water available. Speaking of which, I am hoping you know to unbuckle your hipbelt any time you are crossing water that gets over knee deep, like at the 4 minute mark here. It is all too easy to slip down, have the water fill the pack, and you not be able to free yourself in time to prevent drowning. I'd hate to lose you.
Another fantastic photographic journey!!! Thanks for sharing Catherine.
Gorgeous hike! Loving your music pairings with this as well. Really good use of volumes and fades as well. Another great job CG!
Again, so beautiful and very well done, Thanks
Love the petroglyph. Always enjoy seeing them. Awesome hike as usual!
I
Awesome update! Very nice hike beautiful place.its amazing what water can do over time.🌲👍
I`ll never see The Golden Cathedral in this life, but thanks to you, Catherine, I have visited it vicariously....Thanks for sharing, Canyon Lady !
Took a few minutes away from my leather working to watch this video. Been there when I was a young cowboy. Hope you had a good truck. Blessings on ya girl. Again Thanx for sharing. As ever just Tom 🤠
Excellent work! Perfect soundtrack to match the shots.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there...and especially to Mother Earth....
The wonderful way you present it Utah sure does look like a place you would want to visit time and time again. It is definitely on my list. Thank you for sharing your continuing adventures. 😊 ⛺️
Loved the water crossings, beautiful!
Two things I look forward on Sundays- a new video on your channel, and another channel that features a new documentary about dangrous roads around the world......and my cup of coffee. I really want to do this trip, I love the shorter trips like this. My neighbor kid and his brothers go to Utah backpacking.....I've been trying to get them to take me along (they're half my age......I might slow them down?). I've known them since they were kids.....maybe one of these times I'll get invited...one can hope, right? I'm going to the Black Hills in South Dakota in a few weeks......you would really love the scenery there, and you get to see Mt. Rushmore from an angle most people don't get to unless they get out of their car and hike:-).
Mother's day treat!
What a great hike! You captured the area beautifully..nice job and always a treat. Take care and stay safe..R. btw the background music and narration were just right.
Truly magical! Thank you!
Beautiful hike! We love the red rock country, so much so that my wife and I have gone to Utah for the past 34 years. Maybe we'll cross paths sometime. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us.
Wow that first shot was awesome beautiful thank you
That's some really nice videography and some beautiful scenery. Looks like it was a nice two day excursion.
Beautiful country, thanks for taking us there!
Your music always pairs well with the scenery
Great views. That was an epic camp spot. 👣😎👍☮️
Really nice trip Catherine.Thank you for the great share🌟
Wow, just wow! Thank you for sharing yet another beautifully done video.
Catherine...
Good morning sweetheart. What an amazing place. I'm adding the Golden Cathedral to my after retirement to do list. See, you are an inspiration for a lot of us. And your music selection is quite good this morning as well. Very medieval feel.
So glad that you're getting nice weather in Utah. We've had a much cooler than normal spring here in Iowa. I'm still having to wear several layers to work in just to stay comfortable though out the day.
My trip to the U/P was great. Although the weather could have been a little warmer and less windy. Made for pretty rough conditions on the lake. But Superior is like that most of the time anyway. The water temperature was only 40-42 degrees. That's okay though. Cold water means good visibility at depth. I managed to make four dives in all. The rest of the time I spent hiking and exploring several places I hadn't been to yet. I think I love the great lakes region as much as you love the mountains of the west. I think you should make plans to come see it for yourself in the future sometime.
I've been wondering if you're planning to go up to the Yellowstone and Jackson Hole area again this year. That part of the country seems to agree with you.
Safe travels and have fun sweetheart. Love you.
Randy in Des Moines. 👍❤✌
Hi Randy. Glad you still had a nice time in the U/P. I do plan to visit Wyoming this year. I love it there!
Another gorgeous trip. Thanks
The music matched the video spot on I thought today.
How awesome are those canyons! Thanks for sharing. Adventure on!
Watching your videos is like going to therapy. When I'm done watching them I feel relaxed. The music, your soothing voice, it's all so relaxing. And by the way, from a technical standpoint, your camera and editing work is impeccable!
Thank you Mark.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures the Eastern Sierra's are my "back yard". I have a 2021 Lance 650 truck camper. Next time you're in the area and need a "guide" (lol) give me a shout! I'm also a photographer and use a drone often. Ever considered using a drone for some of your videos?
Hi Cathrine. This is Mark Pirtle. This is my other youtube channel. I'm no "youtuber" like you but I do have a few of my drone video's on this channel if you'd like to look. :)
Beautiful ! Thank You!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! What a magical place there in Utah! Happy for you to be able to spend time with your niece, too! Hope she loved it. Cheers from Michigan!
So wonderful. Thanks for this Video 👻👻👻🍀🍀🍀
I followed with wonder and gratitude.
Hello again. So happy that you are able to travel and see so much of our country.thanks for sharing.stay safe enjoy
Love those sandstone walls. 😎😎
Thanks for sharing ma'am. Looking forward to the next one. Be safe & take care.
Love the music.
The scenery is extraordinary beautiful 😍 nice 😀 enjoying fr Jamaica
Ah I love Escalante and that canyon! This was really well done! 🔥
Thank you Devin! I love it too! ❤️
I have been extreamy busy as I close in on my retirement date so caught up on several of your videos. Great to see you out there with your niece and enjoying life!
Beautiful and well shot as usual.
Thanks for taking me to an amazing place that I didn’t know was there! Also really good photography.
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, Cat. Ty. 👍🏻👍🏻😊
I was in the Golden Cathedral on Sept 21st. That 4wd road was conquered by 2 of us driving Prius', and a 3rd Prius was already at the Trailhead. LOL I'l have to say, our timing was good because we sat there from about 2 to almost 4:30 and just admired the changing light patterns. from there, we day hiked over to Zebra slot canyon, and added Tunnel to our day.
A lot to love in this one......I think my appetite would be much increased out there ....gonna need Coach to prepare a nice fettuccine in a white sauce with chicken breast..mushrooms and spinach ....the night sky must be spectacular.....the caterpillars were a nice surprise and the cathedral was spectacular!!
Thank you Mike.
Awesome cat you're just wonderous🐝
While you were at Golden Cathedral, I was hiking in Bryce Canyon. What an awesome place. Next year, I plan to visit what my short time this year didn't allow, next summer. The Escalante area is one of the places on my bucket list to visit. Thanks to you and your videos, I find some terrific places to go to. You are great girl. Keep on exploring.
Super Good hike, beautiful camp and the scenery was Awesome...good to see you and Christine together again...
The word awsome is so over used , but that truly was. Thank you.
