    Great job Jerry. You two are blessed to have each other. My wife and I used to hike all over the West just like y'all do. We literally did everything together and were never apart. We even worked together. That is, until she passed away last year of breast cancer. She was only 54. I can honestly say I don't have one bad memory of her. We were two of the happiest people alive and so grateful for each other. I'm so glad we didn't take each other for granted. I miss her so much, but I'm blessed to have known her. She changed my life forever. She never lived in the past and didn't worry about the future. She enjoyed each moment with me. I never knew someone that really knew how to live in the present and enjoy it like she did. Her name was Nitzia.

      Stacy, I'm really sorry for your loss. Nitzia sounds like an amazing person. It's great that you both found each other and realized what you had while you had it. I'm sure you know how rare that is. I wish you all the best.

    Man, I've been Mt. Biking all over the Desert lately on big Classic rides and I feel your pain, often. The Greatest Cozy Move? Any time I see water, I take off my hoodie and fully soak it and it is SO NICE, especially with a hoodie vs shirt, I brought a little Micro fiber towel for my homie's head and he is still thanking me. Carrying a 10oz little "trash bottle" can equal 2 soaks as well. You got to try it and you could show off your surgery scar! The key with the little bottle is to focus on soaking the hood, then it just slowly soaks down as it cools! Or maybe it's time for some cool Colorado alpine action? I know a guy. . .Some Unreal 4x4 to incredible alpine strolls. . . Let me know if I can help.

    Yes, noseeums really do suck in that area in June. They love to hang out in the pines and cedars and wait for unsuspecting eyes, ears and nostrils to show up. I stay often in nearby Hatch and they will drive you crazy so I finally bought a Clam pop-up screened canopy - works like a charm in keeping those little a-holes of your orifices. BTW a nice under the radar hiking option nearby is the Golden Wall/Buckhorn loop trail in Red Canyon. Mini Bryce without the crowds. And for dining Escobars is fine but for some different takes on Southwestern/Mexican dishes try the the Rockin' V Cafe in Kanab. The El Verde bowl never disappoints.

We both hiked Zion and Bryce Canyon years ago and have many fine memories. Now, it’s nice to watch you get hot and tired, while we sit on the couch. Getting old still beats the alternative, but I wish we could still hike🤗.

      Those gnats have driven me to long, explicitive-ridden rants on many occasions. I absolutley hate them. The shoulder felt great on this trip. Still working on getting my range of motion back, but it's not sore anymore. Hopefully we'll be out backpacking a lot more soon.

    Another great video Jerry! Good call on starting at sunset point. My 1st ever trip out to Utah was at the end of April 2010. A volcano in Iceland shutdown all Euro flights so Bryce was practically deserted. I did the Navajo, Peek-a-Boo, Queens Garden hike in almost solitude plus there was some snow on the hoodoos! Epic!
    P.S. I'm from WI...30's is great sleeping weather!. LOL!

    Nice job….this was an interesting and informative video-especially if you are going to backpack Bryce. My husband commented that really enjoyed it as well! …….what is truly magical is hiking below the rim when there is snow on the hoodoos in the winter. There are far less people and the quiet and with the snow is magical!

    My boyfriend and I went to Bryce in March some years back. The plan was to car camp, but it was so cold at night that after the first night we gave up and decamped to one of the hotels near the entrance, along with everyone else who was tent camping. (IIRC, the forecast low the next night was 16F and sustained 20-30mph winds.) Hiking was nice during the day, though! We did the Peek-A-Boo loop the second day and had not been expecting all the up and down -- oops. Beautiful, though.

    Only been twice but felt it was truly a magical place. Last time I was there was almost 6 years ago when my husband and I hooked up the 20 foot camper and drove all the way to the southwest from South Carolina for a two week AZ/Utah Nat’l Park tour honeymoon. It was, however, the first week of November and we woke up our last morning at the park campground with snow flurries and all of our holding tanks completely frozen! 🤦‍♀️🤪 good times ❤ and great memories.

    • @JerryArizona
      @JerryArizona  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, it's usually much cooler in Bryce than it is here in Phoenix, AZ...which is why I overshot and went when it was too warm. Definitely a great place, even with the heat. But if I did it again, I'd probably go in May or September/October.

    A month late to the party but finally got to see the video. Honestly I think you made the right choice. Only way to skip things is if you go there "like all the time" because at some point, if you don't... you have to make those difficult decisions about what and how to see... what to exclude and get a taste of things. Hottest I ever hiked was 117 to Moses and Zeus in Canyonlands NP. My sister and step dad hiked rim to rim of grand canyon in July or August and they said it was 122 in the shade. I also hiked in -21F and umm... yeah I think 75 is my favorite range I think. Its warm enough to wear shorts and cold enough to be able to cool down if you begin overheating.

    • @JerryArizona

      117? That sounds so miserable. I'm with you. 70~75 during the day, 50~55 at night would be just perfect.

    I did this hike 3 years ago and made it a 2-night trip (Yellow Creek and Swamp Canyon.) I hiked up to the road at a nearby connecting trail. I was lucky and happened to hitch a ride with some people that I previously met the day before at yellow creek (they were coming back from picking up their car.) I agree, not as scenic as I hoped but still some nice views, especially out by Swamp Creek. Have you done the Kolob Canyon side of Zion? I did that one on that same trip.
