Ok. I have followed a lot of TH-camrs that have toured this area. I can positively say without a doubt that you are the best. So much so that I deleted all the others and will just follow you. Also, I have shared and told all my outdoor friends about you. Thank you for showing how much fun it is to have fun in my state and for acting so cool when you have to change plans. Bless you both. So excited to watch where you go and follow where you have been.
A really great series on the Utah National Parks and Southern Utah in general. As a native of Utah, I have been to these areas several times over the past 50+ years - but you are doing (hiking) parts of them that I have never even considered before. Makes me want to explore my own backyard a lot more. The hike to Druid Arch looks incredible. All the best.
Thank you Mike! It always means a lot when a local to the state or area we are visiting can get some new ideas! Highly recommend visiting the Needles, it's incredible 😍
Everytime you upload I literally have to drop everything and take a mini virtual vacation through your videos. Hoping to do an extended stay in Utah sometime soon!
We loved the morning light on this hike! And starting early is a must in Utah, not even just for crowds, but because it can get so dang hot with no sun cover!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I commented early didn’t want to forget 😊. We’ve really enjoyed this series! I never knew Utah had such breathtaking landscapes!! ~Cara
While we know the van would've been fine on that road, we just have the largest guilty conscious and fear getting into trouble haha. But hey, we got a bigger workout and got to see more scenery! Adam is definitely looking for the next big band to be a part of 😜
That looked like a grueling hike. If you guys are shelled, imagine how the rest of us would feel. One suggestion is maybe give us a few more looks at AllTrails during your hikes.
@@AdventuresofAplusK Really enjoying your channel! I'd like to second the idea of more geographical orientation. Keep up the great work and give Kona a snug!
Thank you for inspiring my wife and I. We just got back from Arches and Canyonlands. So awe inspiring and life changing for us. Thanks for all that you post and share. We are big fans and so appreciate you both. I used to think who has the most toys wins but in actuality its who has the most life experiences with mother nature!!!
OMG, At the 8:10 mark it literally looks like you both walked into a painting or have a green screen behind you! That Druid Arch is insane looking! I'm actually beginning to hate Utah as I try to figure out how to fit all of these amazing locations into just 2 weeks.
Isn't it WILD?! Druid Arch felt like a movie set! And we know the feeling, there is SOOOO much to do there! Our Utah videos span over 2 months, but we only spent about 16ish days actually exploring, so it's doable, especially if you don't mind busy days!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I'm having to make 2 sets of plans as the main purpose of my visit is a rescheduled Havasu Falls camping trip that got cancelled last year. And all indications are it may not reopen for this year either which has me totally bummed out. But making contingincy plans for southern Utah is helping. LOL
Really cool hike with a lot of variety along the trail! Narrows, scrambling... seems to have it all! And never really thought about making enchiladas at camp. Such a good idea. Still pretty new to your channel but curious if you've been or have plans to visit Natural Bridges National Monument.
The enchiladas were JUST what the doctor ordered after that hike! And we have not, we were right by it during our first Utah video, but unfortunately didn't get the chance to stop.
Amazing is all keep saying!! What a beautiful place, the scenery is over the top. How could anyone not want to go to Utah after watching this video? You both should be proud this is an excellent video. Thanks for sharing your travels.
Well, now I really know that you need to go back to Moab to check out Canyonlands! Been to Arches already which was really cool but Canyonlands looks absolutely amazing!
Just discovered your videos when researching for the Arches, Capital Reef and Canyonlands NPs. Sure am glad we did - y'all make great videos! Big fan and new subscriber! Thank you for the great information! We will be visiting those parks this fall. ♥️
Congratulations on that 17 mile hike! That was beautiful and, not only 17 miles, but some of those miles were pretty tough. We’d love to do that... except for the last part to Druid Arch but I’d sure hate to miss that!!
Hi y’all! I just returned from southern Utah (Moab to Zion). Wanted to let y’all know that I came across your videos as I was planning my trip, and they were so helpful! Discovered Peekaboo/Spooky, Calf Creek Falls through you guys, and those were 2 of our favorite hikes. Most importantly, we got to Zion over the crazy Memorial Day weekend, and when the park closed the gates that morning, we knew to head to Kolob Canyons and were still able to have an epic day. Thanks for all the great tips!!
This makes us so happy to hear! Those were some of our favorites too! Sorry that y’all had to deal with the crowds, but glad y’all were able to visit other areas instead! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
We camped in Devils Kitchen 2 nights, hiked the Devils Pocket loop and Druid Arch starting at The Joint trailhead. We absolutely love the area and can't wait to go back!
So happy that you knew to do this hike!!! That view down canyon from Druid Arch was beyond description for me. We did the hike from Elephant Hill a couple years ago. Since that was "shorter" than what you did it allowed us to go thru the "The Joint" and circle back into Chesler Park and out. The day wiped me out!!!!
We are SO glad we went down this way! It was one of the highlights of our time in Utah! Pumped that you have done this as well..it totally wiped us out too!
Two things. Only Adam and Kathryn would go on a 17 mile hike and then go back out for more. Secondly, it seems like Adam will be performing all insurgents at his upcoming concert. 🎸🤘👨🏼🎤 Best Adam and Kathryn bloops!!!
Hahahah our favorite bloopers of ALL TIME! In our video from yesterday I tried to show off my skills, so you'll have to tell us who is better! (pick me!)
Awesome hike! This is an area we have not ventured into yet, now with the kids leaving home we have more opportunity to do these longer hikes. K, I hope your shoulders have healed quickly, they looked so sore. Great Utah collection.
"Adventures" indeed. "Adventures of A+K" is catchier than, say, "Four Iron Feet", but you two are some hike-a-holics. Be careful you don't accidentally include the wrong footage if you wind up in haste during the editing process, such as: When you took turns holding the camera while the other walked past that window in the rock: "OK, I'm ready, go---HA HA HA!" And the camera subject is standing in the window, mooning the photographer: "Hey, nobody's around, right?" Or Kathryn sliding and falling on her butt: "&^%$, (*!#, *&%$#, that hurts! That's gonna leave a bruise. Dude, you're not going to be laughing when you have to carry me the last three miles back!" As always, thanks for sharing. You deserve more groupies (Band-Aids? see also, "Almost Famous") but we are devoted.
Wow, I’m in awe at every Utah video y’all put out. It’s like a different world out there, I can’t wait to see it next month! And I have to know when Adam’s worldwide tour starts?! Then I can say “yeah, I followed him before he got famous” 😂
WOW not a lot more to say that would do that area justice.. Apart from WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW.. Nothing like that in the UK where I live
America is a place that seem to have hosted much Giant cities and ordinary cities there seem much happening in Grand canyon the Navaho and the other Tribes are connected with the Eco friendly movement of the planet Earth 🌎 amazing scenery every where and much abundant knowledge in America respect from Australia
Hello Adventurers😊😊, I have also hiked Neddles section of Canyonlands National Park and I really enjoyed the quiet solitude there. I saw 1, yes 1 other hiker...amazing!!! Oh myyyy...those super chessy enchiladas looked soooo gooood! You 2 always get me so hungry. Have you been to Moab Diner? If not check it out. Have you explored Fishers Tower and the scenic areas along the Colorado River Scenic Byway 128? I can't wait to see what's next. Your videos are awesome👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
Wow! That is awesome! We did eventually see some people, but thankfully it wasn’t busy! And in our next video we will show a little of Fisher Towers! 🙌🏼
Still don’t know why you guys are not in 100k subscribers yet...you guys the best! My wife and I enjoy your vids a lot! Need a vid of your top hiking gear/outfits! Wife wants the know your boots 🥾
really! America is place in the world who wan't i come in. bcs, America also looks beautiful urban city, mountains with pinus, crystal water, the peoples. i hope in my life, one day i can go, and maybe there's anyone backpackers who want invite me to join your adventure, it's pleasure i shall accept with heart :)
Sorry I’m late to the party but I finally made it! Got lost on a few side roads…. What an amazing hike that was!!!! The views were just incredible the entire way! Amazing vlog in every aspect…I’m so happy right now! The enchiladas looked SO delicious!!! Adam rocking out with the tripod guitar was awesome! Haha! Thanks for this wonderful vlog! I wish you both a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! 😍🤯😁🔥😃😄😁
Odd question - I know you guys have a PRVKE bag from WANDRD to carry your text gear. Noticed in the video that there was a drink hose for each of you. How do you use a water bladder with that bag?
Great question! I put it in the laptop sleeve 😂 and then I just zip it up most of the way and wrap the straw around. It’s a weird makeshift solution, but it works!
You two are adorable! Love to watch your channel!! Dutch oven hint: They make foil liners for your dutch oven. Sure makes clean up easy!! BTW your enchiladas looked great!
What a fun video, really enjoyed how you captured the trail! Food looked delicious at the end. Made us miss our time in Utah last summer. Keep the videos coming!
This was a fantastic vlog…the scenery was out of this world…your energy was amazing…the enchiladas looked so dang yummy and Adam’s performance was top notch! Maybe when you get back to Austin, he can go down to 6th Street and bring in a little extra moola! 🤣🎸
Totally loved this video! I love the Needles District! We were supposed to do the Druid Arch in October 2018 but the rain was moving in for a few days so we canceled. After seeing your video, I can’t wait to be in that area of Utah again and do this hike; it looks wonderful. I like the variety of the hike, even the scrambling. Was there an area of sand you had to walk through? And your supper looked delicious!
We loved the variety of the hike too! We did walk through the wash a bit, which was sandy, but mostly it was rocky! We hope you can make it back and hike it!
Wow, that was a rugged long hike, but the views make it worth the effort. And thanks for the quick and cheezy enchilada recipe. Sad to hear that your Utah parks run is over. Safe travels.
Back in the March 25 video, Adam said that you had plans for "15 more videos" from Utah. This is number 15! Thank you for a thorough, highly-entertaining, and remarkably informative video series on Utah. In true engineer fashion, I have added notes to a spreadsheet and captured trails to my AllTrails lists. Well done on keeping your promises; any more Utah videos are bonus!
Wow, now you have my re-thinking if I want to spend the time in Islands of the Sky district or head for the Needles when I'm there in 2 weeks. Granted, we only have a day set aside for both NP's and I was planning on doing the highlights of Canyonlands in the morning and then Devils Garden in Arches in the evening.
Wow! That was one epic hike. I knew the arch would be cool but that hike was incredible. I wasn’t expecting that. So many unique features from scrambling to slots to vast views. That was one heck of a long day but looked totally worth it.
I love watching you eat all the yummy food! Makes my mouth water!Not too sure I'll be doing this hike. Might just be a little out of my comfort zone. Great Job!
Excellent views and comments on your hike. It brought back memories. Thank goodness you guys brought enough to drink. It is so easy to get heat stroke there.
Amazing! A bit of winter weather cut my time in the Needles short, and I only did a few of the shorter trails before making my return east. I have so enjoyed your Utah travels and look forward to returning next year. In the meantime, I'll explore some of the Appalachian highlights closer to home. Thank you for all the effort you put into your vlogs-and awesome air guitar at the end.
Bummer about the winter weather! I bet it would be pretty with snow though! We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed the Utah videos. And the Appalachian area sounds like a lot of fun. My best friend is hiking part of the AT the next week and we were bummed we couldn’t join her!
Your videos are amazing ...scenery, dialogue and enthusiasm are infectious!! Thank you for taking us along on your journeys oh and your lunch & dinner breaks are the bomb too ❤️🙂
@@AdventuresofAplusK may I ask what camera you’re using and what lens?? We will be taking a trip out west next year hitting… Alberta Ca, glacier Natl, Yellowstone & grand Tetons !! … also does your camera also do video?
I spent two nights in the Needles and it was one of my favorite hiking trips. The first day/night got off to a frustrating start and I almost called it off. But I ended up going on and have been so glad I did. 👍
As we did this hike we really wish we would've thought to camp out there! We saw so many awesome backcountry spots and it would've been extra nice to split up the mileage!
Y'all probably won't read a comment that's two years too late. YT stopped showing me your videos. Well, I look at many things. I was happy that YT finally showed me one of yours today. Oh yeah, A+K!! They slipped from my memory since I watch a few hundred folks on here! This video was just great as are so many of yours. It seems that no matter how many Utah videos I watch, there are always more amazing places in Utah to discover. Some day, perhaps, I will move there. Great video!
Hey! Thanks for sticking with us! Turn on that bell notification and you should get notified when we post! And yes you could spend a lifetime in Utah and not see it all!
I love your videos. I've been studying them in prep for our own Utah Big5 trip. I see that you guys have traveled the world seeing places like this. I would highly suggest you go to Mexico some day and check out La Huasteca Potosina. It is in the state of San Luis Potosi, which is fairly close to TX. It is their version of... say... a Yellowstone and Yosemite combined. It's amazing.
We’ve been to Mexico a couple times (we have made a handful of videos) but not to San Luis Potosí yet. It is on our bucket list though! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Had to watch another of your vids - a great feature of life in Durango is proximity to places like Canyonlands (Great Sand Dunes, Arches - so much variety!). I camp just outside the park at Hamburger Rock and have done both Chesler and Druid. Druid is a BIG trek - well done and thanks again.
Hi, I am really enjoying watching your travel adventures. We plan to visit Canyonlands in next month and I have one big question. You parked, then hiked quite far away and later on, how were you able to find your way back to where you started? I see you used All Trails Pro app and does it guide you just like a GPS? Thank you.
We were able to see the trails and routes on the app since we download offline maps and could figure out our way that way. You have to have AllTrails Pro to do that though.
I have booked an overnight backpacking trip into the needles district in early September and after watching your video I'm even more excited 😁 Best regards to Alaska
Thanks for this video. I haven't done Druid arch, we did Salt Creek to Peekaboo and then up to what we call the Tower. What a place, pictos, petros, arches and Anasazi ruins and views from here to there and back again. Best to you.
We were in the Needles District in November of 2020. We loved it there. You are so right about the scenery and “fun” on the trails. We were able to start at Elephant Hill and hike to Chesler Park and the Joint Trail which was our first taste of slot canyons. I recognized several parts of your trail. 17 miles is a long, long haul. We did 11 and were exhausted. Plus we were outrunning a snow storm at the end, which made for some pretty cool photos. Thanks for sharing your adventure, I love watching your channel!
11 is tough on its own! We were already nervous for how long of a day that was going to be! I bet seeing a snow storm come in was super cool. Did you get to see snow after it fell?
my sisters landlord used to be one of the cowboys here in the 70s! Someone (suspectingly government-paid) terrorized the cowboys, killed their cattle, torched their cabins and pretty much drove them out so they could make the canyonlands into a national park. Mark (the cowboy) said they couldn’t recover so they moved their ranch to eastern Oregon. Also apparently there’s oil fields in the area the government wanted to keep hidden. Anyway. Some sad but interesting history about that cowboy site you found. That’s where the cowboys went.
Rotisserie chicken for on the go is bomb. Fresh cooked and just pick the carcass clean. We get them all the time, most major grocery stores have them (though maybe not smaller towns).
I love the Cave Spring trail! It’s so fun! Thank you so much for sharing, I’ve been so unhappy the past couple of months, but your videos give me something to look forward to ❤️
The Cave Spring trail is SO cool! We have been loving getting to learn and see history at some of these national parks! And we are so sorry to hear you've had a rough couple months, thinking of you and know you're not alone! ❤️

Hahahah he is ready for his rock concert! 😂🎸
We didn't make it out to the needles district, looks so beautiful! And I LOVE that you had the place to yourselves!!! Have a great weekend!!!

You two are adorable! Love to watch your channel!! Dutch oven hint: They make foil liners for your dutch oven. Sure makes clean up easy!! BTW your enchiladas looked great!
We need to get one of those! It’s really hard to clean that in the van (we try to avoid getting food scraps down our pipes)!
What a fun video, really enjoyed how you captured the trail! Food looked delicious at the end. Made us miss our time in Utah last summer. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks so much y’all! ❤️
Love some of your terminology, like Grippy Rocks. We live on the west coast and we have slippy rocks. We love watching you guys. Blane and Pat
Hahah slippy rocks! We know those too!
A long hike followed by some epic eats! What a great way to spend a day!
It was awesome! Food has never tasted so good haha!
This was a fantastic vlog…the scenery was out of this world…your energy was amazing…the enchiladas looked so dang yummy and Adam’s performance was top notch! Maybe when you get back to Austin, he can go down to 6th Street and bring in a little extra moola! 🤣🎸
Hahaha he already has a few gigs booked 😜😜
Do y'all ever get blisters or do you have hobbit feet by now?
Omg... so beautiful we are heading to Utah on the 23.. your videos are helping me so much. Ty
Have a great time!
Totally loved this video! I love the Needles District! We were supposed to do the Druid Arch in October 2018 but the rain was moving in for a few days so we canceled. After seeing your video, I can’t wait to be in that area of Utah again and do this hike; it looks wonderful. I like the variety of the hike, even the scrambling. Was there an area of sand you had to walk through? And your supper looked delicious!
We loved the variety of the hike too! We did walk through the wash a bit, which was sandy, but mostly it was rocky! We hope you can make it back and hike it!
Let's give a round of applause for your great challenge
Wow, that was a rugged long hike, but the views make it worth the effort. And thanks for the quick and cheezy enchilada recipe. Sad to hear that your Utah parks run is over. Safe travels.
It was totally worth it! And those enchiladas are so easy and so dang good!
Back in the March 25 video, Adam said that you had plans for "15 more videos" from Utah. This is number 15! Thank you for a thorough, highly-entertaining, and remarkably informative video series on Utah. In true engineer fashion, I have added notes to a spreadsheet and captured trails to my AllTrails lists. Well done on keeping your promises; any more Utah videos are bonus!
We love it!!! Glad we could give you trail ideas for a future visit! We’ll have one bonus video for ya 🙌🏼😉
Wow, now you have my re-thinking if I want to spend the time in Islands of the Sky district or head for the Needles when I'm there in 2 weeks. Granted, we only have a day set aside for both NP's and I was planning on doing the highlights of Canyonlands in the morning and then Devils Garden in Arches in the evening.
We personally loved this area more! We love getting to hike (Island in the Sky is mostly overlooks) and it was less busy!
Wow! That was one epic hike. I knew the arch would be cool but that hike was incredible. I wasn’t expecting that. So many unique features from scrambling to slots to vast views. That was one heck of a long day but looked totally worth it.
It was one of our favorite days in Utah! Way less busy than the other parks and so unique!
I love watching you eat all the yummy food! Makes my mouth water!Not too sure I'll be doing this hike. Might just be a little out of my comfort zone. Great Job!
Hahah so glad you enjoy the food! We sometimes worry we share food too much, but hey we have to eat right?!
I enjoy watching your wonderful videos 🤩. You are superstars at this! I am excited to see the next one. God bless you.
Thank you so, so much Kathleen! That means a lot! Really excited to share our final Utah adventure next week, lots of cool views and food!
Excellent views and comments on your hike. It brought back memories. Thank goodness you guys brought enough to drink. It is so easy to get heat stroke there.
Very glad we went in the spring vs. the summer too! Not sure how people hike in southern Utah in the summer 🥵
You two seriously couldn't be anymore entertaining!!! I will be sad to see this series end. Where to next? ;););)
Thank you Laurie, so glad you've enjoyed it! And we'll share at the end of the next video! 😃
Definitely a place I wanna go to in our next visit to America. Thank you so much for this great video.
Thanks so much for watching! We highly recommend the needles!
thank you so much for showing me something like Druid Arch that I am not able to hike to, (way older than you two :-) )
Of course! We not only want to give people ideas of things to do, but let those who cannot do it virtually experience it!
Amazing! A bit of winter weather cut my time in the Needles short, and I only did a few of the shorter trails before making my return east. I have so enjoyed your Utah travels and look forward to returning next year. In the meantime, I'll explore some of the Appalachian highlights closer to home. Thank you for all the effort you put into your vlogs-and awesome air guitar at the end.
Bummer about the winter weather! I bet it would be pretty with snow though! We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed the Utah videos. And the Appalachian area sounds like a lot of fun. My best friend is hiking part of the AT the next week and we were bummed we couldn’t join her!
The first video of utah, i was like red rocks everywhere, but each place is so different, so wow views, just amazing
It really is! While we will admit we are happy to see some more green where we are now, the scenery in Utah is crazy and every place feels different!
This whole video looked like you had a Roadrunner cartoon backdrop ☺️ 🏜
Hahaha it felt like it for sure!
Wow, that was spectacular!!!!! One of the most beautiful places on earth!!!!! Thank you
It's wonderful! Thanks and thanks for watching!
I watch your videos every Thursday during my lunch. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication. Love traveling with you they you lend.
Thank you so much for watching! We hope you had a delicious lunch!
Beautiful hike! I do love a good wash :)
Enjoyed how you presented the hike.
Can't get over that beautiful landscape! Thanks for helping to show it off!
It's absolutely crazy there!
Wow Amazing Mother Nature😍 Stay Safe All the Time
Mother Nature is definitely amazing!
Your videos are amazing ...scenery, dialogue and enthusiasm are infectious!! Thank you for taking us along on your journeys oh and your lunch & dinner breaks are the bomb too ❤️🙂
Thank you SO much, this means a lot to us!
@@AdventuresofAplusK may I ask what camera you’re using and what lens?? We will be taking a trip out west next year hitting… Alberta Ca, glacier Natl, Yellowstone & grand Tetons !! … also does your camera also do video?
Hi! All of our gear is listed here: adventuresofaplusk.com/resources/. Both of our cameras shoot 4K video 😄
Awesome thank y’all
I spent two nights in the Needles and it was one of my favorite hiking trips. The first day/night got off to a frustrating start and I almost called it off. But I ended up going on and have been so glad I did. 👍
As we did this hike we really wish we would've thought to camp out there! We saw so many awesome backcountry spots and it would've been extra nice to split up the mileage!
Always learn something from your videos! You guys rock!
Yay! We're so glad!
Y'all probably won't read a comment that's two years too late. YT stopped showing me your videos. Well, I look at many things. I was happy that YT finally showed me one of yours today. Oh yeah, A+K!! They slipped from my memory since I watch a few hundred folks on here! This video was just great as are so many of yours. It seems that no matter how many Utah videos I watch, there are always more amazing places in Utah to discover. Some day, perhaps, I will move there. Great video!
Hey! Thanks for sticking with us! Turn on that bell notification and you should get notified when we post!
And yes you could spend a lifetime in Utah and not see it all!
I love your videos. I've been studying them in prep for our own Utah Big5 trip.
I see that you guys have traveled the world seeing places like this. I would highly suggest you go to Mexico some day and check out La Huasteca Potosina. It is in the state of San Luis Potosi, which is fairly close to TX. It is their version of... say... a Yellowstone and Yosemite combined. It's amazing.
We’ve been to Mexico a couple times (we have made a handful of videos) but not to San Luis Potosí yet. It is on our bucket list though!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
My girlfriend and I did Druid Arch in 1975. No stairs, camped right under the Arch. Had 1963 VW camper,
How cool!
Beautiful footage! Great rail.
Those Enchiladas looked so stinking good! Now that Utah is over what's next?!
They were amazing! And we still have one more Utah video to share and will say where we're at now at the end of that one!
Probably a good thing you didn’t drive the elephant Hill Trail. It’s challenging for short vehicles like jeeps.
Yes we didn't feel like getting stuck or in some sort of pickle!
Had to watch another of your vids - a great feature of life in Durango is proximity to places like Canyonlands (Great Sand Dunes, Arches - so much variety!). I camp just outside the park at Hamburger Rock and have done both Chesler and Druid. Druid is a BIG trek - well done and thanks again.
Yes Durango is situated very nicely to lots of other adventurous spots!
Thank you again. ♥️ your videos. Amazing...
Thank you so much for watching!
Everywhere you go you make me want to go there also! Even though we've been to most of the places you go, you make me see them in a new light.
Yay! Mission accomplished! And it is fun to see places in a new light!
Awesome! Loved the flowering cactus!
Us too!!! Loved seeing some flowers along this trail 😍
Hi, I am really enjoying watching your travel adventures. We plan to visit Canyonlands in next month and I have one big question. You parked, then hiked quite far away and later on, how were you able to find your way back to where you started? I see you used All Trails Pro app and does it guide you just like a GPS? Thank you.
We were able to see the trails and routes on the app since we download offline maps and could figure out our way that way. You have to have AllTrails Pro to do that though.
I have booked an overnight backpacking trip into the needles district in early September and after watching your video I'm even more excited 😁
Best regards to Alaska
We hope you have a super fun trip! The scenery there is so fun and amazing! Thanks!
Thanks for this video. I haven't done Druid arch, we did Salt Creek to Peekaboo and then up to what we call the Tower. What a place, pictos, petros, arches and Anasazi ruins and views from here to there and back again. Best to you.
It’s such an amazing part of the country! Thanks and thanks for watching!
We were in the Needles District in November of 2020. We loved it there. You are so right about the scenery and “fun” on the trails. We were able to start at Elephant Hill and hike to Chesler Park and the Joint Trail which was our first taste of slot canyons. I recognized several parts of your trail. 17 miles is a long, long haul. We did 11 and were exhausted. Plus we were outrunning a snow storm at the end, which made for some pretty cool photos. Thanks for sharing your adventure, I love watching your channel!
11 is tough on its own! We were already nervous for how long of a day that was going to be! I bet seeing a snow storm come in was super cool. Did you get to see snow after it fell?
No, the snow didn’t stick. But I bet it would have been pretty.
my sisters landlord used to be one of the cowboys here in the 70s! Someone (suspectingly government-paid) terrorized the cowboys, killed their cattle, torched their cabins and pretty much drove them out so they could make the canyonlands into a national park. Mark (the cowboy) said they couldn’t recover so they moved their ranch to eastern Oregon. Also apparently there’s oil fields in the area the government wanted to keep hidden. Anyway. Some sad but interesting history about that cowboy site you found. That’s where the cowboys went.
Oh wow! That is a crazy story and definitely not what the signage says. Thanks for sharing!
Blane and Pat-This is the best video yet of all the area you hike, Thanks.
Thanks so much y'all!
Really enjoyed your hike and the enchiladas look awesome!
We are so glad Cindy! It was a fun and delicious and exhausting day!
Rotisserie chicken for on the go is bomb. Fresh cooked and just pick the carcass clean. We get them all the time, most major grocery stores have them (though maybe not smaller towns).
We love those too!
Beautiful 😍 Amazing
Another beautiful, beautiful hike!! Great such a great adventure to watch!! Must return to this part of Canyonlands and do. Thanks again!!!
We 1000% recommend it! Just maybe do the 11 mile route haha
@@AdventuresofAplusK Definitely!
I love the Cave Spring trail! It’s so fun! Thank you so much for sharing, I’ve been so unhappy the past couple of months, but your videos give me something to look forward to ❤️
The Cave Spring trail is SO cool! We have been loving getting to learn and see history at some of these national parks! And we are so sorry to hear you've had a rough couple months, thinking of you and know you're not alone! ❤️
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thank you so much, really ❤️
17 mile hike in Needles....I would just be eating that chicken out of the package and calling it a night
haha it was a long one!
17 miles and how many blisters?
You don’t want to see the bottom of my feet 😂
