- In this video I show you my free campsite in Sedona AZ. I wake up my first full day to hot air balloons floating all around me. Then I take you on a hike on the Doe Mountain Trail that climbs up to a mesa with stunning views all around. I encounter some wildlife not one minute into my hike which definitely got the adrenaline pumping. Come along...Sedona is beautiful!!

I truly appreciate the fact that most of your footage focuses on the beautiful scenery rather than yourself. So many people seem self absorbed, spending so much time shooting themselves rather than the wonderful natural beauty around them. Most of your shots of yourself show the scale of your surroundings and I appreciate that, too. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences! Take care & God bless.🌹🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
Thanks so much Patricia. I want the focus to be on the locations, not me. ❤️
Hi Patricia I agree with your comment that's why I subscribe to her channel this may sound strange coming from a straight man she has Respect for herself not to be fake walking around in a bikini to get negative attention subscribers I truly appreciate that quality of viewers is more meaningful than negative quantity viewers thank you so much for letting her know she's genuine God Bless You 🙏😇♥️😃✌️👍👏
@@markwolf9721 I stopped watching some for that very reason. As an older woman, it pains me to see young women using (exploiting and objectifying) their bodies (or their partners doing so) for click bait. Bikini's or bare skin - who does that in the wilderness while hiking, back packing, using survival skills like chopping wood and making a fire? FAKE! Ok, if swimming/bathing (why put it on a video?) I guess, but you can tell which are just using it to attract more (mostly male) views. For money? Cheap & Yuck🤢 . Better not complain when the perv trolls come around!
@@dreamzofhorses lol Hi yes click bait or as I call it LOSERS that subscribe to fake channel's and the women promoting inappropriate comments makes me sick and scared for them there's a lot of sick people out there anywho thank you I only have time for good hearted genuine people and I'm glad Cat respects herself her content is so beautiful, tranquil,peaceful and she is a true lady Happy Holidays 😃♥️✌️👍

Hot air balloons, rainbows, and coyotes...delightful. Your videos are now a part of my Sunday morning routine. Make coffee, snuggle up on the couch and watch a Catherine Gregory video. Thank you.
Love that! Thank you for joining me each Sunday Jennifer! ❤️
Catherine, you did it again! Such a great video. Capturing the light, framing the vistas, all so beautifully. How you manage your simple, serene life is inspiring. Thank you for showing us Sedona!
Thank you so much Randall.
My Mother had the gift to feel places that were new to her yet she knew them from another time. I too have that feeling at times, This was one of those times. I cannot express that feeling but you know the places and yet have never been there or seen some of them before. This trip was very special to me Catherine. Thanks for all you share. I say again, you should have lived during the times of the men and women who opened up the West by going ahead for all to follow. Take Care and God's Blessings upon you.
She might be one of those western pioneers in her past lives 😊
pinkze he say " beautiful does not do this justice. I could almost feel the warmth of the sun and the calm air all around. Utter wondrousness ! "
Thank you so much!
Your cinematography just really nailed it in Sedona. I love the opening with the colorful hot air balloons drifting lazily on the air currents with the Sedona landscape providing a gorgeous backdrop. The two coyotes were a real treat, as were the spectacular variegated-colored rocks, cacti, and mesas. Lovely sunset too! Thanks so much for sharing Cat another wonderful adventure. Jenny
Thank you so much Jenny!
You always have the prettiest videos and your background music doesn't take away from it.
Hi Cat as always thanks for bringing us along sharing your experience 😍 obviously your a beautiful lady but what matters most is how beautiful your heart and soul is as it shows beauty taking pictures of beauty wonderful photography God Bless You 🙏😇😃🌲🌵👍✌️♥️
Thank you so much Mark.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Hi Cat Patricia Burke made a wonderful comment I agree with her thank you so much for being Genuine and not fake yes I'm a straight man but honestly if you were wearing a bikini and such I would not subscribe because that's fake you are Respectfully Genuine God Bless You 🙏😇♥️🌲🌵👏✌️👍👍👍
Such beautiful scenery and photography. I think everyone who's been to Sedona has been struck by its beauty. Your music selections were very nice, too. Thank you!
Gm...that was awesome 👌thanks for taking us along 😀be safe 🙏
Sedona doesn’t disappoint. The scenery is breathtaking and it’s one of my favorite destinations on AZ. ❤️
Dear Catherine, our family prays for your good health daily so you can continuously bring us more and many more food for our soul. Thank you so very much! Travel safe. Best wishes.
Thank you for the prayers! I appreciate it.
The many colors were outstanding in this video Catherine. The hot air balloons and coyotes were an extra plus. Also I noticed that zoom edit at 10:00, very cool!
Thank you Bryan. Good eye on the zoom edit.
Just another afternoon spent in Sedona through Catherine's eyes. Thanks so much. You're a visionary in film! Travel safely.
Thank you so much!
I hope you know moments like 11:25 are why we watch and subscribe; just another beautiful experience you’ve created for us. Thank you again for sharing!
Thanks so much Will.
Yes. I always enjoy coming along with you!
So pretty! Some of your wide shots made the landscape appear as ruins from some ancient civilization! And I loved the unanticipated gifts: the hot air balloons; the beautiful skies and cloud formations; the rainbows; and of course, those very healthy looking coyotes! Best wishes Catherine!🍀👌👏
Thank you Theresa. It pays to be an early riser. Later that day, I asked my camping neighbors what they thought about the hot air ballons...they had no idea what I was talking about. They missed it by sleeping in. :)
Like so many have said, this was just spectacular. Sedona is my favorite place in the world - I just love it there. We must have remarkably similar tastes, because you caught the mood just as I would have - that is if I had your skills. I especially like your music choice and how well it complimented the video and the story. Outstanding color grading. I didn't know the Sony a6400 4K video could look that good. I have the A7R4, but I can't make it look this good. I can't overstate how relaxing this was for me. Thank you...
Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind feedback.
Fortunately, I watch your vids on a 27" monitor and get the full experience of your breathtaking videos. As I've said before, your camera(s) do an amazing job of capturing all the nuances of colors, shades of light and crisp sharpness of details. As a photographer, I am mesmerized by what I see. So many frameable scenes in each video.
Wow, thank you!
My heart sank when you said you went to Chipotle. Please, please next time you go to Sedona go to Elote. You will absolutely love it!
For sure!
Great tour, so beautiful place. Thanks for taking in this wonderful tour! So beautiful air balloons floating all around me. Full follow you in a hike on the Doe Mountain Trail that climbs up to a mesa with stunning views all around. ...Full watched and supported. Stay connected, my friend
Thank you so much 🙏.
Whenever I watch one of Catherine's videos, I find myself struggling for superlatives I've not already used. Watching this over my breakfast in the UK, this is the perfect start to my day and escape from the grey rain outside my window. Love everything you do 🏞️☺️🙏🏽
Thank you so much!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that getting to follow your travels and the wonderful vistas helps people on many levels in ways perhaps you hadn't intended ☺️🏞️🙏🏽
I am always so impressed and appreciative of the work you put into these videos. Such absolute natural beauty.
Glad you like them! Thank you.
Every week is a new adventure, every step is one into the unknown, but you always feel safe with that warm marshmallow voice that wraps around you,,, Many Thanks Catherine xxx
Beautiful footage Cat, I have been on Doe mountain many years ago, awesome!
Thank you Jarl! Hope all is well.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Yes, thanks, you too! We should have done a snow trip in some desert around now, oh well, next year hopefully!
Beautiful part of the country. Arizona really has it all. Blessings Cat. 🙏🫂
I need to go back to those special places .. my Lord how I love ❤️ your videos!! I hiked Sedona in 1980!! My girl!! Thanks 🙏 and Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁 ❤Now here in Maine I will go to sleep 😴!!
Beautiful photo at 3:50 seconds! Your hikes and videos are getting so professional !! Thanks for all your hard work...
Thank you very much! 😄
Sedona is our little pot of gold too! Simply spectacular! My wife and I travel from our home in Glendale, Arizona five or six times a year to explore everything Sedona has to offer. Devils Bridge, Bell Rock, Devils Kitchen and the airport rim trail are just some. Take a balloon or helicopter ride too. No better way to see it then from the air!
Bless you !
Awesome video and footage. Great editing skills. Sedona looks like a nice getaway
Sedona sure is a Beautiful Area! Thank You for taking me along 👍🙏 Congratulations on 100K Subscribers Too!! Today is 4-22-24 and it's the first time I've seen The 100K. Never had any doubt. You produce Excellent Videos. Keep posting and I'll keep watching. Stay Safe.🙏👍😎
Hi Catherine😊😊, what a beautiful BLM spot in Sedona! SPECTACULAR sunsets and sunrises there, and the hike that you took me on was truly awe inspiring...just amazing Catherine🌹. Those coyotes were quite the site to see also. I'm glad they didn't attack you 😊😊. I have also been to Sedona and when I was there I took a Pink Jeeps Tour through some incredible scenery. I also spotted a tarantula in front of a gift shop that attracted many people. This was a great video, Catherine. I really enjoyed it and looking forward to the next beautiful place. Have a great night.
Thank you so much Al.
My wife and I enjoy Sedona. Your photography is spectacular. Thank you for taking us back to our favorite part of the world. Stay safe out there, Kat.
How beautiful the landscape. You captured it perfectly. Carol and I really enjoyed this week’s episode. God bless and have a wonderful week!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much Doug and Carol.
As winter approaches and the temps in Minnesota become too cold to venture outside, I look forward to watching your videos. It’s inspiring to see those scenic views, along with your choice of wonderful music and also a periodic glimpse of a beautiful Cat. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much Matt.
Catherine you have it going on Love ! Amazing adventure every time and better than Netflix ... Lmao Stay safe but keep hugging the universe for us all ... big hugs to you back.
Many peoples shoots the landscapes, but you do it exceptionally beautiful, everytime I watch your videos I feel as if I am at the location, I think most of your viewers must have the same feeling...
Thank you so much 😀
A long-ago colleague tried to convince me to move to Sedona. I now really wish I had! But, it was a very complicated situation at the time. Another excellent video. I especially liked the two coyotes. Even though you may have interrupted their hunt, you got to see them as few have the opportunity. Continue chasing sunshine and warmer temps! Praying that God continues to Bless & Protect you while Guiding you to new adventures!
Thank you so much John. Always appreciate the prayers.
Aaaah the American peoples are surely blessed to be surrounded by such stunningly beautiful landscapes. Beautifully filmed and narrated as usual, Sundays wouldn't be the same without your videos. An oasis of tranquility in a mad, mad world. Thank you and see you next week 😺
Thank you so much!
Catherine, thanks for taking me back to my favorite place on Earth. You are really good at this. It is video art. Good health.
Thanks for bringing us along. I got lucky last year to experience the snow in Sedona.
I remember that. It was beautiful with the snow.
It has slipped from my consciousness how beautiful Sedona and Oak Creek are. My first wilderness backpacking trips were in nearby Sycamore Canyon and what become Red Rocks Wilderness. Great you cover what a good daypack with essentials looks like since so many of your followers are not experienced hikers. The weather can change quickly there. I was held up by a violent flashflood near there with no idea there was rain in the upper slopes. Well done story.
Thank you so much Rob. Hope you are doing well. The flash flood threat is no joke in these parts.
Holy smokes.... Sedona is gorgeous. Awesome content as usual Cat. You are the best.
What a great trip. It must be invigorating to anticipate the next sunset in such a beautiful place.
Definitely!
I love Sedona it's so majestic. When I'm in Sedona I feel completely energized 🦉
I love seeing the world through your lens
Thank you David.
Another Sunday, another pleasant video of a gorgeous area by Catherine...now back to the weather channel.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you John.
Thank you again Catherine for another beautiful adventure!
Those coyotes sooo pretty...enjoyed the beautiful landscapes the red rocks and the plants, really pretty.
Beautiful Catherine!!! Wonderfully crafted, your videos are perfection!
Thank you so much!
Sedona is a magical place! Beautiful video! Thank you!
Another great video Catherine! Thank You! Great music and great cinematogrophy!
Great shots of the balloons against that gorgeous backdrop. What an amazingly beautiful area. Be safe. Adventure on!
Thank you Tammy.
Really good quality camera work and editing.
Sedona in any weather is a photographers dreamscape. Thanks for posting your adventures.
You captured Sedona beautifully. Brings back good memories of our trip in December. Thanks for sharing your adventures
Beautiful Sedona is now on my must see list🥰
Your amazing vision of fantastic views is so obvious in this hike. Thanks so much for such a beautiful new look at Sedona. I didn't know it was that gorgeous 💛🌼🤍💛🌼🤍💛🌼🤍💛🌼🤍💛🌼🤍💛🌼🤍💛🌼🤍💛🌼🤍💛🌼🤍
Those balloons what an early morning gift from God 😁! Those morning colors were outstanding. Love me a good thunderstorm 👍🏻. Great video Catherine.
Thanks so much!
I like the beauty of both ,you and nature, thank you again.
So nice of you. Thank you.
What wonderful landscape! The coyotes were marvelous. More good work Cat! The rainbow was the greatest! 🤙
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I put this up on my 9' by 5' screen with Bose surround sound almost like being right there its been 30 years since I have been out there in the Sedona area I watch most of your VId's on that big screen nice job stunning views thank you bring's back good memories.
Very cool! Thanks so much.
Incredible scenery!!!.....the most beautiful I have seen on your Chanel!....thanks!!
Thank you Don!
Thank you for taking the time to show what you carry on your hikes. It is always interesting to see what in someone's bag.
I'm boondocking at the moment just outside or down the road from the Village of Oak Creek (which is 2 +miles from Sedona) . It is a bedsit community and in my opinion just as beautiful as Sedona ( and not as busy....stay away on the weekends) This whole area is just fantastic. Love your videos.
I lived in Arizona for a couple of years and always loved visiting Sedona - it has a serenity and majesty that is utterly unique and almost mystical at times. Thank you for sharing your hike with us.
I totally agree!
Another beautiful Vlog.... thankyou Catherine...:)
Well that place is so gorgeous! Thanks for sharing
Amazing footage. Awesome to see after being stuck inside all day at work without any windows.
Wow...such beautiful shots! I am a cloud lover and you sure got some great pictures. Love the lighting on the landscapes too! Those coyote too 😊 Don't you just jump out of your skin when that happens 😄 My worst scare like that was two fairly large sheep that bounded out of the brush. When you're not expecting it, it startles a person! Love the views and thanks again for taking us along!
Thank you very much!
We live in the Phoenix area and have been to Sedona a few times as tourist. We have seen the busy streets, stores and restaurants but not this beautiful side it has to offer. Thank you for taking us away from the main strip.
I stopped at the Lost Dutchman State Park near you. It was beautiful.
Catherine ... what a fantastic video of the Sedona area. Your camera skills and framing are really becoming top notch. What a treat to see the coyotes 👍. Always lovely views in Sedona... Thanks for posting this one and look forward to the next... Thanks, 👍😉👏
Thank you so much!
Love your videos. Incredible shots with good quality photography. Great music as well. Thanks!
Nice video capturing some of Arizona’s beauty. Thank you Cat for these great videos.
Thank you Johnny! Hope all is well.
Very cool, Catherine , i had know idea how beautiful your country is , thank you ,chilled me right out , awesome and i agree the scenery did look like a painting..... Tree
Love those cool, gravel backroads through the beautiful landscape around Sedona. Stunning autumn vistas nicely shot - thanks! - enjoyed the beauty.
Thank you Steve.
Thank you for this truly lovely trek through the wonderful area surrounding Sedona. We barely had time for lunch in Sedona! Clearly, we need to get back there and explore the area.
As always, the views and panoramas are stunning. The music was just right. Your narration was spot-on.
Again, thank you!
😎💖💙💛💙💛💖
Thank you for always coming along! I appreciate it.
That was amazing! Thank you so much. If you don't mind could you do a video on all the things that go on in the background to live the life you live. For instance where do you fill up with water when your boondocking? Do you fill up your tank or just bring a jug of water? How are you doing laundry? Do you have trouble finding dump stations? How do you keep a signal to do all your work on the road? How many days can your fridge run while your boondocking? How often are you running into town for supplies? Anyway thanks so much for posting such beautiful videos. We all need a little beauty right now.
Thank you Melinda. That might be a good one to do this winter. :)
Beautiful person, in a beautiful place making awesome video's! Thanks!
I love your videos! The views are breathtaking! Thank you for taking us along! ☮️♥️
Thank you Nancy.
good afternoon. i love the shots of your home! to think that you are living the dream in a camper like that, i am so envious!! next, the rain, waking up to the sound, nice an warm and comfy, a good breakfast, coffee, knowing i am going to view the beauty, and vastness of the valley, just absolutely, your words(and i agree) breathtaking! my favorite word, AMAZING! how tiny we are in this world. beautiful tour, thank you once again,Ms. Gregory.
I am always struck by the amount of B-roll footage you shoot. Stellar work, Catherine👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you Jinnie.
Seriously vivid color......love the music...balloons...sky....coyotes....breakfast oh yeah.... Panoramic views....those rock formations seem.to be in individual unique clusters out there which is very interesting....thanks so much 🐱
Thank you Mike! 😀
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures .....laying on the sofa with 2 huge blankets on me...drinking coffee sideways and watched your video...lol.
Those views were incredible, thank you for taking us along on your adventures. I’m sure they look better in person and I hope to do that one day. Cheers!!!
Stunning! You, along with Joey (where is he?) Craig Adams and Eric Normark are my go- to film makers when it comes to cinematography. Great work. Thank you.
Thank you! That puts me in some great company. I appreciate that. I haven't heard from Joey in awhile. I have a feeling we'll start seeing videos soon. He usually stays with his family over the winter and starts uploading. :)
Beautiful beautiful video of Sedona. I wish I had known you were here. I would love to meet you. I just did an awesome hike in the Oak Creek Village area today, November 15th. I live in Cottonwood now. The red rocks are just spectacular to see when the sunlight hits them just right. I took photos of a rabbit on my hike today. The guy just posed so still for me. It even stayed still as I walked by. They usually take off quickly. Thank you for sharing Cat!
So beautiful here thank you for sharing katherine ❤️
Wishing lots of great times, I'm so relieved to see you are always thinking safety first 😊 love ur videos💝💖💗💓
Thank you so much 😊
BEAUTIFUL Catherine! I believe I would add a signal mirror and emergency blanket to that gear. AND call me next time you are in the area and fixing breakfast...my favorite meal too! Did I see some hot sauce used there? You should try the Jalapeno Grits if you like hot, spicey stuff. I am hooked on them. Thank you for sharing another kewl adventure but next time make breakfast for two. God bless your heart and your adventures!
Another great video Cat...great scenery...crystal clear images....thanks for showing us the Sedona area...its beautiful . Arent the Superstitions close by ?? Always looking forward to your next one....stay safe wherever your travels take you !! As I looked at those beautiful coyotes....so healthy and free....I couldnt help but wonder why anyone would ever take their life...and for no reason at all....!!
Thank you! The Superstitions are a few hours away east go Phoenix.
I think we were in Sedona at the same time you were! We stayed on the west side at the base of Thunder Mountain looking east towards Chimney Rock. The morning we left we got up at 7am and hiked up around sugarloaf when we saw the hot air balloons! Pretty awesome seeing it from another angle. Stay safe!
Awesome! Gotta be one of your best..please keep them coming! Thank You
Thank you, will do!
The beauty of this actually brought tears to my eyes. Thanks again Catherine! You never disappoint. 🌈✨💐
Awe... thank you 🙏.
Lovely vid, enjoyed the camera work and the soundtrack *
No street lights in Sedona. It was very dark driving at night, but you can see the stars like no other. I stayed at a inexpensive motel near a Chinese Restaurant. When the night turned to morning, it was the first time I got to see the beautiful red terrain ... WOW! I got to visit my brother there in Sedona on Blackjack Drive. Two years later, he passed. I was born on his tenth birthday. We thought he would become a priest for sure, but I suppose he married his soulmate instead. Good watching you hike in Sedona. Try provolone cheese with the omelet sometime, sort of fun to eat.
Hello Catherine :) I have been entertaining the thought of living in Sedona. I presently live down in Tucson, and kinda done with it. I have seen several videos of the city of Sedona, and the view of the red rocks from within the city, but this footage you shot is breathtaking, and shows the perspective of the land, the trees, the hills, and all it's beauty in the wilderness. What I love about this place is that there is so much color in the landscape. This was a very relaxing video, and great choice of background music :) Thank you so much for sharing this video :)
Thank you John!! 🙏❤️🙏
Hi Catherine, thank you for sharing your hike on the Doe trail. I have not been on that trail yet, but I have been on pretty much all the well known trails in Sedona (Bell Rock, Boynton Canyon, Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, etc). Isn't it amazing the views from any dining spot in Sedona? Absolutely spectacular! Next time you are in Sedona, go to the Oaxaca restaurant. It has excellent SW Mexican style dishes, and yummy margaritas! :)
Beautiful and yes, gorgeous!! Majestic clouds! Thank you for sharing such awesome beauty. Blessings
Thank you Betty Jo!
Catherine, your travel productions are absolute masterpieces. From the thoughtful choice of scenery - crisp and beautiful, to the music - subtle and smooth, to your positive, refreshing attitude ... each is perfection!
Thank you so much Paul. I appreciate the kind feedback.
