- Hellooo friends!! Today's episode is all about an amazing (and scary) slot canyon hike, Cathedral Wash! I take you with me from start to (thankfully) finish.
Thanks for watching and I'll see y'all again in a few days for one more adventure in Arizona! :)
What an awesome adventure to watch from the safety of my bedroom. Thank you for sharing and taking me along.
Bad decisions make the best stories, you are fearless 😊
Hi Gina,
You did a great job on the trail.Maybe a little,tough but you made it out and safe.
Be careful out there sweetie.

Wait, what you climbed both down and then up that canyon! You're a badass woman. Fearless! Out west is stunningly beautiful. Once again a great video.
Thankyou! 😁💙
Always be mindful of the tracks you leave, and any other tracks you find (animal or otherwise). They will help orient yourself in a deep canyon where you may not easily discern which direction you came from. Obviously, try to follow your tracks back to the entrance. Also, moving excessively (like pacing in uncertainty) will add unnecessary tracks, so try to avoid that. Best to sit on a rock with your feet above the dirt/sand while thinking.
Glad you’re safe. Always listen to your gut and not that little voice in your head it always gets you in trouble. Hindsight is always 20/20. Hopefully that life lesson sinks in. Safe travels little lady. 🙏🙏👊👍
Wow. Beautiful scary all in one video. That was so real you could see it on your face
Glad you are safe !
Wow your pretty brave going into the canyon alone girl. Please be careful and stay safe
I wasn't expecting new video till Sunday. What a pleasant surprise. I am currently watching over lunch.
I decided to release it early since it’s a continuation of last weeks video :)
Was a nice surprise. Glad you made it out.@atinynomad
What a great video! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Glad you made it. Be safe young lady 😁
This video was so crazy, one min I'm thinking hey your feeling better, then when you get to that slot canyon and it's so far to the bottom I was like by myself I don't think I would do it. The scenery was incredible 😲. It was so dead quiet 🤫 out there. When you found that River at the bottom how cool 😎 was that, like a reward for your hard work. When you were worried 😟 bout climbing back out I relaxed when you got past that 10ft spot going up. Then you were lost on what direction, so smart using those foot prints in the sand. I remembered you filming those same prints on the way down at the start. I was so thankful you went through that little tunnel before finding your Yoda waiting on your ass...hahaha 😅 peace ✌️ till the next one ❤
WOW 😮….I could see the worry in your eyes and hear it in your voice you had me going ❣….but I’m so happy you problem solved….and figured it out ❣… but happy that you hit that trail and enjoyed the experience of being there ….🤩
Good work ❤
Such a beautiful view. I hiked Cathedral wash back a few years ago and it was breathtaking. It is a bit hard getting back out and yes should be visited with more than one person. Glad you made it out okay. I could see by the look on your face you were a little concerned when climbing back out. Safe travels Sunshine.
Gina-You did it! What a challenge you put yourself through. I know you had to fight those feelings of panicking coming upon you. Your confidence has gone up a few more levels.
I must add the landscape was crazy beautiful and when you were down at
the river banks all I can say is WOW!
Best
Danny
Glad you made it out of there. Your a Rock Star Gina, a legend lol. What a beautiful canyon. Thank You for the great content.✌
Thankyou for watching! 😁🩵
Always remember God is with you.. you are brave and adorable....take care please...big hug.
Blessings from Venezuela.
...you can use rocks to remember the return way...don't you think?😊
The way you assessed things before climbing down into the canyon was a great teaching moment!
That is awesome, I'll have to put this place on my bucket list to go check out.
Love the ASMR moment @2:40
😎🤘🏼☀️☀️🥥
How cool. Probably better (safer) with a companion though 🤔.
I miss the Western landscapes and also the vastness of it all. 😊
This is suspenseful 😬
Hi Gina! Glad to see that you are feeling somewhat better. Awesome scenery in this video. Watched your short video ' cooking on the back of my car ' last night. Killer music, Chris and Morgane Stapleton always bring it. I was holding my breath until you got out of that canyon! Safe travels.
I’m glad your feeling better! That was an amazing hike! I would love to check out that area! ❤ Nothing like some fear to add to the adventure!
love the red rocks too..I painted a scene in Sedona with many..thank God you made it out ok! lordy you had me worried..all for your art!! :)
Ahh, the classic road/van life canyons lol. I've seen these so many times that I feel like I've been there. Rare Saturday EpisodeTM. Glad you got out safe, buddy
Awesome! I would love this. I desperately need a Gina in my life ... not a genie 😁👍
You are such a beautiful joy and beautiful inspiration. Even when sick, you still glow. I am so glad that I subscribed to your amazing channel, and I am so relieved that you survived this scary adventure. Keep being amazing you! 👍❤️👍
Thank for taking us, that was amazing! Feel better.
@@dwaynelexington6446 thanks for watching! :) I’m feeling much better since filming this 😁
❤ Bless your heart and I am sure I am not alone in being thankful that you got out safely, the slots are awesome but tricky.
Thanks!
Thankyou so much!! 🙏🩵💙
Great video…great job navigating the slot. You’re in an amazing area for slots.. you’d love Buckskin (about 35 miles from Page). Over Utah way is Little Wild Horse Canyon (really fun slot) (really close to Goblin Valley State Park). Love your adventurous spirit!
Awesome hike and magnificent rock cliffs ,,so glad u made out ok ,,
Maybe add some ropes to your hiking kit that you can leave behind and use to get back up / make the return easier... Amazing to be out there all alone! The view at the river was breathtaking as it flowed! Thanks for finding / sharing this gem of a place!
Wow, you "Rock." It's amazing what happens when you go into flight or fight mode. Glad to see you made it out. As always , Happy trails!
I'm out. Not even half way into the video and I caught myself yelling at the screen to back out, don't be stupid, remember where you go you have to be able to get out!! I'm sure you made it out ok cause you posted this. Be safe and enjoy!!
I hope you feel better Gina you still look absolutely amazing as usual. Please be safe and careful much love from Virginia❤❤❤❤
Thankyou! 🙏✨
Hell yes for you, Tiny Nomad! Girl, I had anxiety with you for a moment. Keep on, keeping on! Stay safe & warm 💫
🙏💗
Dam girl I'm glad your out and ok ,, don't put yourself in them positions girl remember your alone , but love your bravery ❤
That was awesome! Just the best ever ! Luv it and luv you ! You're absolutely amazing ! ❤
Glad you made it out. Call you mighty not tiny. Please stay safe
Great hike and working through the difficulties of it. Nice work 🏆
I think we were all terrified with ya, G! Get warm and stay safe!
wawo wawo wawo beautifull hike i HAVE to do this one!!!!!!!!
Awesome job! It’s always nice to challenge yourself. Great video editing! It was suspenseful 😱
Great video. Your passion,power and drive is angelic. It’s refreshing to see such a kind and beautiful soul. Keep up the grind and put some miles behind. Be safe.
@@timwelch6671 thankyou! 🙏🧡✨
“Don’t do it, Gina! Noooooooioo!!! 😱
(Stay safe!) ❤️
Insane hike best done with another - please be discerning and careful so we get to see more from you!
If I can climb the angel oak tree you can handle that canyon😮 I knew you could do it!!! Good job!!!
Been there and I know how you felt. I hike alone in the southwest and I don’t like going too far by myself. The wilderness is no joke I am glad you got out ok ❤
Awesome hike! 💙
Nice to see you marching forward in the canyon. Good you're feeling better and got out of be beautiful area safely.
Life lesson for all of us: not only what goes up must come down, what goes down must come up.
Stay safe out there, Tiny pumpkin❤
I went to Antelope Canyon in 2024 and it was awesome. Just found your channel and subscribed!
@Easternoregon1 I loveeeee Antelope canyon!! Absolutely stunning. I just don’t like that it costs a good bit of money to see 😅
Remember everyone, if you see a video, it means she's safe! She had to make it out to post the video. (Glad I saw this video Gina)
I would have lost it if i was in your shoes ..but I knew you would find your way out....your Dad had your back sweetie...thanks for a great vlog...I bet you slept well that night lol
Totally agree with your admiration of the terrain of Utah. We’re building a house in the mountains of southern Utah overlooking the beautiful red rock mountains near Zion!
@fpd5874 dang that’s awesome!
AMAZING!!
Nope!😆However, if I could, that river was the payoff, glad you're safe.
thank you again for sharing... hopefully you will feel better soon...get plenty of rest and take care of yourself
I’ve rested a bunch since this hike and am feeling much better now :)
@@atinynomad Very Glad to hear your feeling better. Awesome Footage once again. Gina is enjoying and living her best.🙌🙌🙌 Hell Yass. Staying Tuned as always from Little chilly in Delaware. 👍👍👍💛💛
Very cool, glad you made it out!!
You find all of the beautiful locations!
Hey Girl glad to hear that you starting to feel a little better that canyon view was awesome also with the
view of the water was also nice good to see you are taking care of yourself and being safe thanks for
taking us along and see you soon : )
Admire your determination Gina, your tough😊
Get well, kitten. Hate being sick. Take care. Luff ya!❤
You made it WOOWOOOOOOO Go Go GooooOOOOOOOOO ! ❤️🔥💃🏻❤️🔥🤘🏻🤩👍🏻
Those canyons are SO welcoming, aren't they. 😊 They lure a person in. Your focus is to get down farther and forward to the next eye candy. Climbing back up & out is sometimes pushed to the background.
If you haven't seen the movie 127 Hours, you should. 😊
I'm glad your previous video wasn't your LAST video. 😉
Be safER out there! ✌️
127 Hours is an awesome movie!
You’re awesome. I don’t know that I would have wanted around in that.
It was difficult but you did it you are incredible 😊
Glad you made it.
Gives new meaning to the old saying "Look Before You Leap" !!
This was actually a microcosm of your whole journey. We're all hoping you get through it unscathed, but silently wondering if a train wreck is inevitable. Pulling for you kid.
I thought I left a comment but I must not have hit post. Anyways not sure if you know, but iPhone 14 and newer allows you to send messages via satellite for emergency situations when there is no cell service. I’m upgrading my phone to one before my upcoming trip for this reason. I also carry a small cell phone battery bank in my pack too in case my phone needs a charge. It looked tough, but definitely rewarded you and us with beautiful views, very cool looking hike!
@@pennyismydogsname I didn’t know that about the iPhone 14 and newer! This past year is my first time ever owning one. Good to know, thankyou! 👍
@ yeah no problem. Just something you hope you don’t need, but good to have just in case. I think if you have aaa and need help you can also use it to contact them.
Wow awesome I’m so proud of you girl, I live in Utah and I have been in your shoes before, it’s a bit crazy huh. 😅
I love the pineapple coconut water, so good!
@@nscott26yum! 🍍
As shorty as you are, you are so brave. I be freaking scare alone.😢
You need a Honda Element !😀
Natural development of art; such massive sheet rock nestles- really incredible.
At 5 foot you may be a "Tiny" Nomad but I swear Gina, you certainly have the heart of a lioness! Mega respect!!! You are so frickin' awesome!!!
Wow thankyou!! 🥰🙏
A ship in a harbor is safe, but thats not what ships are for. Thanks for another great video my vertically challenged friend😋
Love that quote 😁
xoxoxo,hope you feel better!
That's fun, since you're ok. I was 18 with a mad hangover, still drunk, and climbed a vertical cliff on the snake river canyon. Found a bee hive on the way up. Luckily they weren't mean. Bout fell close to 100', but I lived :)). It was hot, not cold. I was way away from any people. It's better with a pardner. And if you're feelin good.
Holy cow! That’s a heck of a fall! Glad that you survived it! 🙏
i was skeert for ya!!....lol.....hope you had a margarita after that!!
good adventure, glad things worked out
I wish I were there with you,you got me “sckart”😮
@@NickKing-e7n 😂
I can't find anyone who drinks coconut water. My kids hate it. I dig the walls of that canyon, This looks like a great destination. I can hear the shake in your voice but I didn't have a moments doubt you'd make it back. I know people want you to be safe but I just respect your adventuring spirit.
I'm 6'1" I'd give ya a boost😂 you got this hun💪🏻
Yeah I would have waited at the car, glad you got back safe. Hope you find what you are looking for.
@flakeyjay I’m not looking for anything! Just enjoying the ride :)
@@atinynomad even better! Look forward to following your journey!
@@flakeyjay me too i would be too chicken to go down to the bottom...Gina is bad ass and her vlog is such a breath of fresh air...love her chill self lol
Damn Gina, you had me a little nervous on this video glad you made it out.❤
This is how episodes of “I shouldn’t be alive” begin. That trail should have markers somewhere that indicate not to attempt the descent without the proper experience and/or equipment to be able to climb back out.
Wow, incredible scenery. Risky going into such narrow rocky canyon terrain all alone though. Are you wearing a good pair of hiking or climbing shoes?
Yes I always wear hiking boots
💜
I hope most of the comments are kind to you; Adventure isn’t always just fun, as you seem to know. It was wort the trek and views and you’ve likely learned to be a little more cautious, so no particular harm done!
i envy the beautiful landscapes of your country.
wide open spaces.... Dixie chicks 👍😊
That looks like Lees Ferry🔥
Feel better soon! There are a lot of viruses going around the country.
P.S. Best “Good Morning s”, ever!! 😊
I’m all better now :)
This bug is hitting here too. Just got over it ugh, hopefully yours is almost over!
I’m all better now:)
Forget the Park Service...put the word out and you've got THOUSANDS of fans on their way!! :)
Hahaha this made me smile! Thanks! 😄
I like riding the nervous line on alot of my hikes 😂😂 makes me feel alive. Canyons can definitely test a person, normally going down is harder but im also 6 foot tall. Im editing a video right now and i actually look nervous on the drive to the trail 😂 its been a year since my last worried on a trail experience...
🙄🙄🙄
