I've just discovered these old videos and have really enjoyed them. Thank you. 😍 I've been amazed at the parallels between your travels and mine but I don't do any research, so your information has been an eye opener. I was introduced to southern Utah in 1972 and have been an addicted desert rat ever since. I'm 75 and just discovered SxSs and will continue exploring the desert SW until my health fails, in another 50 years or so. 😎
Another great film. The summit view is absolutely epic. I really identify with your mindset: 1 Avoid people 2 Dispersed camping 3 Great views 4 An objective to each hike, be it rock art, a summit, waterfall, canyon etc, This is my No1 channel. Keep 'em coming.
Drove down the 6 parallel to the Book Cliffs a few years back. Couldn’t take my eyes off them. They run right down to where the 6 meets the i70, which opens up to another whole load of Utah awesomeness. Utah’s an incredible state. 👍👍
Thank you Tristan!!! I am great full that you share all Your experiences, places you visit. Places you hike! Thank you!!! I want to share. I too share your preference to avoid crowds! And loud energetic People especially!!!
Triston this a gold d wrap up to the road trip! Loved seeing the ancient petragliff! And seeing you on top of that mountain! I was calling your Kayak a canoe! Take care now til next time!❤️😀🙏🚙🌏
Hey Tristan, nice channel, amazing videos. We are an Italian couple, we will be in the USA from May until July 2018 traveling with our truck camper. It would be great to meet you on the road! Have a safe trip! ;)
Can't believe I missed this video until today...this is a definite must visit for me, though it might be a little easier out and back since I travel with a mountain bike plus it looks like I can ride it 90% of the way to the summit.
(aka mimi talyor )oh you got me laughing there when you lost your flipflop...oh man i thought we were going to have to start a collection to replace it but then you showed us...LOL... had to go away for Lent but did miss your videos. you just inspired me again. thank you Happy Easter!
Wow Tristan you are quite the adventurer. I do have a little fear of heights I wish I didn’t. But absolute beautiful scenery that was, thank you so much for sharing. I would’ve had to do most of that in my FJ. I could’ve probably made it most of the way. It takes me to some amazing places when I go up to Canada. It was interesting looking out at all of the little ravines and canyons I love to think about how things like that were made. I live in Michigan and I think about the glaciers making the Great Lakes and all of the hills around here it just amazes me I love nature so much and geology. Thank you again Tristan absolutely stunning stuff.
I feel sorry for people who have a fear of heights. You're missing out! I don't think something as big as an FJ could have crossed the river. I think you'd have to have a much smaller vehicle like a UTV, but what do I know. I love the canyons and ravines too. One of the things I love most about the desert is that since there are no trees, you can just see for miles and miles and see the intricate topography of the landscape. It's great. Thanks Jacqueline!
Wow. What a great video. You certainly checked off all of my boxes. Drive out of the old camp. Road views with arrow pointing to the next challenge. Describing where and how long. The hike up and the incredible views. Holy crap. The views along the top looking down and across the valley. Just unbelievable. Another great camp site with pan around. Next time somebody asks me why I love to climb mountains so much. I'm going to tell them to check out this video.
I just found your videos this year so I’m way behind but getting caught up. I feel like I’ve been taken on a trip to a place where I wouldn’t have known to go.. Thank you for sharing this and all of your videos.
For me this is terrifying and beautiful, thank you for sharing... that over the cliff shot did make my tummy turn. :) It has been a great trip I have enjoyed everything you have shared along the way. I am excited to watch your next adventure. I hope your hip is healing well and you can get back out there soon and enjoy the things you love.
Hello, again I absolutely loved watching this. It’s spectacular. Now I am going to go hiking today. You got me started today. Ty . Have a great week. I know I won’t be hiking 8 hours. Maybe just a couple hours. We love the wildlife refuge here so that where I will go...God Bless. Take a can with you to start a log for hikers who climb up there, like you found on other climbs. 🤗
There already was a summit register in a little jar on top. That's how I knew that the mountain gets climbed only a couple of times a year. And that's great that you're going to go hiking today! I hope it goes well :) Thanks Chris Tina.
Thanks for tagging along. That view was unreal. I doubt I'll ever make it back there, and I can always go back and watch this video to save myself the trouble of doing the hike again :)
I saw the book cliffs from I-70 a few years ago. The are aptly named. Very impressive view. My impression from the highway was, they were much more linear and parallel than than they looked in this video. I am curious why the trail road was built. Did the mine the Book Cliffs?
OMG this is amazing! Where is your celebratory pizza? I would be really hungry if I were you. Anyway one of the best views you have shown us. Great end of a trip, I also like my trips to end in a high point though not necessarily literally. Thanks for the great video.
What an incredible video series. I hate this was the last one. I have really enjoyed watching them. The scenery is beautiful! You had a great campsite, too. Was there a strong current in the river you crossed? I could imagine the river bed was uneven. Thank you so much for taking us along on this adventure! Looking forward to the next one.
Seriously awesome! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Been doing some very tame (compared to you) Hines and climbs here in New Mexico. This stuff inspires me thanks!
Kayak. I've done a fair bit of mountain biking in the past, and I never quite took to it. I feel like it's easier for me to seriously hurt myself mountain biking than kayaking, and I like how kayaking opens up very different terrain to me. Mountain biking terrain is the same terrain I can get to by hiking. That said, I'll probably get a mountain bike at some point for when difficult terrain on dirt roads makes me have to park the RAV4, and I could just continue on by mountain bike.
That was amazing hike. What a way to end a great road trip. Enjoyed the trip. I think that was definitely one of the best parts of the trip. What do you use to keep track of you progress on a hike? My last hike I used my Blaze Fitbit. It was pretty accurate. Great video as always. Looking forward to the next adventure. Thanks for taking us along. Davin
Thanks Davin. I use an app to keep track of my progress. Sometimes I use Runkeeper, but usually I'll use the Gaia GPS app if I'm in a more remote place.
Maybe pick yourself up something nice from the store? Check it out: KamchatkaGear.com

Thank you. I very much enjoyed that. My old knees would not allow it so I'm blessed to experience it through your adventure.
Thanks Kathryn!
Triston this a gold d wrap up to the road trip! Loved seeing the ancient petragliff! And seeing you on top of that mountain! I was calling your Kayak a canoe! Take care now til next time!❤️😀🙏🚙🌏
I love all the ravines and gullies.
Great climb with a spectacular view. Thanks for taking us along.
Hats off to you, I hate hiking on a windy day.
Hey Tristan, nice channel, amazing videos. We are an Italian couple, we will be in the USA from May until July 2018 traveling with our truck camper. It would be great to meet you on the road! Have a safe trip! ;)
Sure, I'll be around. Let me know if you pass through northern Utah.
That is the most beautiful campsite!!
Can't believe I missed this video until today...this is a definite must visit for me, though it might be a little easier out and back since I travel with a mountain bike plus it looks like I can ride it 90% of the way to the summit.
Each adventure is better than the one before. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to film and share them with us.
Thanks Tim, I'm glad you liked the video. I'll keep making them if you keep watching them :)

Thanks! Yeah, the views were just amazing. Such a great area to be able to explore. I can't wait to get back there.
Thank you for sharing your adventures
Brilliant vid. This hike goes to the top of my bucket list.
An excellent adventure. Congrats
I just found your videos this year so I’m way behind but getting caught up. I feel like I’ve been taken on a trip to a place where I wouldn’t have known to go.. Thank you for sharing this and all of your videos.
This is definitely an out-of-the-way area! Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you're enjoying the older videos too.
For me this is terrifying and beautiful, thank you for sharing... that over the cliff shot did make my tummy turn. :) It has been a great trip I have enjoyed everything you have shared along the way. I am excited to watch your next adventure. I hope your hip is healing well and you can get back out there soon and enjoy the things you love.
Thanks! So far, the hip is doing well. Let's hope that continues :)

awesome, as usual!
That was an amazing view! Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks Ron! I'm glad you liked the video. This was a great day of adventuring, for sure. Incredible views the entire time.
I love this hike. The scenery is amazing. A buddy and I will be traveling to the area in mid-September to do this.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow, what views! Happy you ended trip on a high note. Thanks Tristan.
Definitely some amazing views there. Such a cool area to explore. I'd love to go back. Thanks Dean.
Thanks for taking us along, exhilarating view at the top.
Thanks for tagging along. That view was unreal. I doubt I'll ever make it back there, and I can always go back and watch this video to save myself the trouble of doing the hike again :)
So much for feeling uninspired...this video was awesome, thanks for sharing your bravery in height fearlessness. Amazing!!
There's nothing like a big day in the mountains or desert (or desert mountains) to make me feel inspired :)
I saw the book cliffs from I-70 a few years ago. The are aptly named. Very impressive view. My impression from the highway was, they were much more linear and parallel than than they looked in this video. I am curious why the trail road was built. Did the mine the Book Cliffs?
Thanks Tristan for another awesome video and adventure. Wow how beautiful.I'm seeing things on your channel, I could never see for myself. Stay safe.
Thanks Kris! I'm glad you liked the video :) Thanks for watching.
Hi Tristan, really great video beautiful scenery from the top not sure I could walk 21 miles!
Thanks James, I'm glad you liked the video. I appreciate you watching.
Thank you so much for sharing. You never disappoint and share the most amazing places! I look forward to each video you post.
Thanks Debbie :)
OMG this is amazing! Where is your celebratory pizza? I would be really hungry if I were you. Anyway one of the best views you have shown us. Great end of a trip, I also like my trips to end in a high point though not necessarily literally. Thanks for the great video.
No pizza here, sadly. I agree, the view from up on this mountain was unbelievable. Really neat area. Thanks for watching!
Awesome adventure
Thanks 👍
Epic solo mountain climbs are awesome. Mt. Elliott on my list now. Keep on hiking! (or at least in as much as our bodies will let us :-)
Will do! Thanks Ted :)
What an incredible video series. I hate this was the last one. I have really enjoyed watching them. The scenery is beautiful! You had a great campsite, too. Was there a strong current in the river you crossed? I could imagine the river bed was uneven. Thank you so much for taking us along on this adventure! Looking forward to the next one.
The current wasn't too bad. Mostly just the bottom was uneven and the water was really cold. Thanks for watching and commenting, Carol!
Price river reminds me of price Utah
Wow! How beautiful...thanks for taking time to film it.
Thanks for watching!
Seriously awesome! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Been doing some very tame (compared to you) Hines and climbs here in New Mexico. This stuff inspires me thanks!
Thanks for watching! It's great to hear that you're finding good stuff to keep busy with while on the road :)
Magnificent! Thanks for taking us with you!!!
Thanks Marcelle!
Excellent video! I try to think of the end of one adventure as really the beginning of the next, so looking forward to your next adventure.
I agree. I'm never too sad when an adventure ends because I know there will always be another one :)
Another great vid. Love this channel.
Thanks David!
Wow!! Thank You..
Thanks for watching, Mary.
I enjoy your videos, definitely want to see more.
Thanks Kat :)
What a wonderful video!
Thanks Marcia!
Awesome video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Mike.
Thanks again for sharing.
No inventory yet on your store?
Bitter sweet. Awesome way to end it but sad to see the series go. Question: looking back would you rather have the kayak or a mountain bike?
Kayak. I've done a fair bit of mountain biking in the past, and I never quite took to it. I feel like it's easier for me to seriously hurt myself mountain biking than kayaking, and I like how kayaking opens up very different terrain to me.

Don’t use plastic raps to mount your solar panel . Use the metal ones .
Rap? What's a rap?
I stayed there about a month ago. It was quiet
Awesome. It's a great area. Very quiet when I stayed there too.
Great videos. New subscriber, here.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
👍👍
🙏🤗🐕
Sidewinder?
How cold was it inside the SUV that last night? Mine gets very cold.
Pretty cold. High 20s or low 30s, probably. I just used a couple of sleeping bags and was fine.
How do you not get lost getting back?
I just went down the same way I went up.
I hate the book cliffs. It makes it seem like forever to get to Moab.
Lol that is true I suppose. But I still like them ☺️
Wraps sorry . The plastic Zip tie melt .
My spell check sucks .
Lookin good in those undies
Creeper.
congratulations
thanks
you are welcome
