I have lived in Utah for the past 44 years but I still look forward every week to your videos because you get to all the neat places that I am unable to go. Thanks for another great video. Please be safe and keep them coming.
One more comment when the world gets an old man confused it a welcome relief to watch your videos they gives a fella a chance to gather his thoughts together 😊
The slot canyon was so beautiful with the snow. It really brought out all the layers and features. And the keyhole arch is wonderful. Thank you for taking us your adventure.
I appreciate and identify with your appreciation and enjoyment of the natural world and the amazing vistas and hidden places. And I thank you for bringing me along!
I’ve driven down one of the hills that Tristan did some time back to get to a campsite in Montana. He didn’t make any mention of it in his video but my Tacoma needed crawl control engaged to get it done safely. It was very short, but it was steeeep.
Love the craggy looking walls of the slot canyon & the great drone footage of the area. Quote of the day “ First hike of 2024 to get out of the cold & snow”. What???? Cold & snow in the desert😮😱😱😱 Great trip🙋🏼♀️👍🏻
What an absolutely superb view from the Keyhole Arch.. Simply amazingly amazing.. I surely wish I was young again and I lived over there.. Wow wow wow..
Oh, wow! The snow can be a bit inconvenient, but it sure makes for an added scenic dimension to your video. And chasing the fading daylight is the reward for enjoying places without people. We have always enjoyed the very early/late shoulder seasons for this reason. Thanks so much for all your beautiful work!
I’m a slot canyon junkie. I haven’t seen this slot before, so thanks for the tour. I’ll wait a few weeks while it warms up, and check this one out. Thanks again Tristan!
The drone footage of you walking through the narrow parts of the canyon are absolutely superb.. Fantastically fantastic area.. Nothing like it as such in the UK where I live..
A really great traveling video, excellent drone footage. The contrasting videos are the "Thing" that makes your channel so much more interesting and enjoyable. Your videos take me where I can't go. Thank you.😊
I have been in the general area too! As you leave St. George, UT towards NV there is a road you can take running which departs from a residential area. It quickly becomes completely undeveloped and full of an amazing variety of desert plants. It's a good paced highway that constantly snakes through mild canyons. I've taken it several times. Once I got off course onto dirt roads that deteriorated severely. I actually got stuck and hiked out to I-15 in 107 degrees brutal heat. I became severely dehydrated. Once I reached civilization I drank an insane amount of Gatorade, water, Juices and milk shakes for 14 straight hours before I peed a drop!
I always love it when a planned adventure throws you a surprise that takes you on a new adventure! So cool that rope was there to provide you a cool and unplanned hiking loop back to your car! I love that you’re almost always alone out there on your adventures. Was there ever a road you were on that you least expected to run into anyone else, but did? Anywhere that you had to turn off or turn around to pass each other?
Xlnt camera work, 2024's gonna be a great one! Your Landcruiser is a really really capable 4x4, learn about it. If it's got locking diffs it's almost unstoppable. Stay safe out there 🤙🏽 ✌🏽
@@SUVRVing XLNT! The adage "Use it or lose it" applies. Plz be sure to use it (never on pavement) every now & then so everything will get lubricated & seals etc will stay healthy. Also you'll be confident that your buggy will perform when you need it to. 👍🏽🤙🏽🍻
You are so dang athletic! Really love your informative narratives along the way. I know it must be difficult to film and run a drone during the hikes, but it is appreciated, thanks. And the snow adds to the beauty!
The red rock areas I’ve been to have been some of my favorite places to visit. St George, Zion, Arches, and one of the most underrated is the Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction. That place is amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventures, they’re a blast to watch. Keyhole rock looked like an awesome spot!
I thought the drone shots and your choice of music was spot on! Ethereal with some synthesizer power chords. Please continue making this great content!
That looks like a really cool place to explore! The rock you point out seems like it could be part of a crinoid fossil....? The interesting texture you point out is probably due to cherty limestone....maybe....? Speaking of limestone slots....I don't think you've done a video on it yet - maybe you have and I just missed it - but there's a cool little limestone slot canyon near the Notch Peak trail head. Just be sure to bring a rope as you can't get to the end without one. I still need to go back and finish that slot!
Thank you! Long time fan here. I appreciate any and all comments you share about how rough the roads you travel are because I have an AWD Honda CRV hybrid. I opted for the excellent gas mileage to better get across the country, but I can’t access many places you do. I’m not a fan of regular campfires either…it doesn’t take much use of a place in the SW before dead wood is completely used up near campsites, and it just doesn’t regenerate fast enough. Instead I starwatch or go to bed and read. Keep the videos coming and happy trails!
Great video! I liked your whimsical descriptions of Mother Nature’s slot canyons in Utah as red, smooth curves, and calm compared to where you were as Mother Nature when she was angry.
Looks incredibly interesting there. Agreed with taking a vehicle someplace that wears it out quicker. Much more fun to hike in anyway. Love the views, thanks and safe travels.
Another fantastic video! The snow added another level of beauty to the desert. Interesting: two vids ago, you were standing on the peak of a monolithic slab mountain in Utah where there was only about 1 square yard to stand on, spinning around to get the 360 and then looking straight down about 500 feet. Made me queasy just watching it! I was clutching the arm of the sofa to make sure I didn't accidentally fall off! Today, you were uneasy about taking the Land Cruiser down a steep grade, which I'd do in a hearbeat! I guess we all have our kryptonite....
Awesome adventure spot! I went to fossil canyon 2 years ago and did the same loop you did all the way back to the parking area. Glad to see the rope is still there.
You have the best TH-cam channel , thanks for bringing us along , you should have 5 million subscribers , I tell everyone I can about your channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love it when it snows in the desert 🌵. Fossil Canyon seems like a good find, need to check that out. I too am not a fan of campfires 🔥 for many of the same reasons plus having sensitive lungs. But I do like too use them as a natural resource to cook on and dry wet items. I’ll just end up coughing most of the morning.
Loved the aerial views in the video, especially with the sugar coating of a fresh dusting of snow: magical! The little timelapse thru the snowy landscape was cool too; just like seeing how white the landscape was on one side of the arch, compared to the other side :-)
Another amazing post! Discovered you a few wks back, only watched a couple posts, subscribed immediately. Thank you for taking us along since many will never be able to see and hike these places. Love the canyons and the drone footage is really great! Best, from thankfully really snowy Denver! ps As you know -- moisture in the west is always welcome!
These are two treasures all the more wonderful for being off the tourist list! The drone footage at both spots are spectacular- thank you for the gift of those eagle eye views. I'm with you about NOT driving any steep road when there's questionable conditions! Save the "adventuring" for those summits.
I love St. George went up there with my son for a baseball camp at Utah Tech ended up driving into Zion. Wanted to explore St. George more but didn't have the time little hike. Thank you.
Love your videos Tristan been watching you for years! I've learned about so many great places to visit thanks to you! As a resident of Mesquite I'm thankful for this video as I never knew about Quail Canyon. I will definitely be checking that out very soon! Also just a note for the future. You took the long way to Keyhole Arch. Had you gone past the dam on Watertower Ln. you could have driven right to the arch. Plus you could have seen the choo choo train used as a water tank by the ranchers. Then you could have driven down the route you came up to hike to the arch. Can't wait to see where you go next in my neck of the woods!
Really enjoyed the 2 hikes you did in this video. Hopefully, when we do a visit to St. George again (we were there last March) we’ll be able to explore them. I love your drone shots.
Tristan, you are just so friggin cool. Seriously. I love your vids. I've lived in St. George Utah before, twice in fact. For a total of about 7 years. I thought I knew all the good hiking spots nearby but in this vid you taught me about two more. The slot and the arch. I live in Las Vegas Nevada now so I'm DEFINITELY gonna make it a point to go see the sights in this vid. Thank you! You rock!
been going down to Quartzsite area for the last 6 years and have decided to start boon docking around the area your at now, die to the fact there are some many people here that you cant drive 2 miles without a motorhome or jeep or side by side pulling out in front of you while your on the hwy doing the speed limit and they never get over 35/40 mph, this year i had a guy run a stop sign and hit my jeep first accident in a non semi i have been in since i got my license on 1969
A little trick we do sometimes. Get a little bubble wrap and put around your main camera tape it on there. Tie par cord to the top of the tripod for balance. Take end off Long parachord with you. Pull camera up. Only works for elevated situations
I love the St George area. It's honestly my favorite town anywhere. The town itself is beautiful and there is so much to do in that region if you like the outdoors.
Wow. I really enjoyed this, although the frozen rope climbing portion in the canyon gave me pause. The snow was a great accent on the landscape. Happy trails, Tristan. Enjoy your extended winter journey. Thanks for sharing with us.
I loved the comparison with how you caught dusk colors through the Keyhole Arch! Funny you mention campfires. Recently, I said, quite out loud, to myself, "You do know you always smell like fire, right?" Between home and out in nature, I've not had one for months! I guess I got tired of smelling like fire, if I noticed it out of the blue!
Great video ... the snow really makes everything look surreal. Heading SW in about 10 days with the new rig .. probably work my way around Death Valley .. and I'm going to try to stay out for 10 days. 🤠
Just realized that one of the reasons I enjoy your video's so much is the extra time and effort you take to get distant shots of yourself from a tripod camera or drone. This adds a lot to the standard handheld GoPro shots (at least for me). You actually captioned one shot in this one as going back down to retieve the camera. Got any guesstimates on how much time or distance that adds to the hike you are doing? When you quote hike stats do you count that? I've noticed you hike alot faster than me already (though I am probably double your age), but if you are leaving it out of the distance and not the time you must really move fast. Stay safe.
If I'm talking about the specs of a hike I've done, that always includes the distances and times as I hiked the hike. So yes, that includes going back to retrieve the camera. As for the added time and distance that entails, it really just depends on the hike.
Thanks again for making these videos. I liked the way you described the first canyon in the AZ strip. using words like "fractured, haphazard and angry mother nature". It helped capture the feeling and I do remember feeling that way hiking in Death Valley too. Very cool places to visit.
I really want to see more of the Arizona strip, though I know a lot of those roads are pretty rugged and I merely have a Nissan Juke for those sort of adventures. I don't want to end up on that Matt's Off Road Recovery channel. That slot canyon is amazing!
🎉Great video! Neat that you can go hike back a different way! That must have been quite a drive from I-15. According to Google map, this canyon was close to the Colorado River.
Just moved to Saint George last July and I am sort of disappointed. It’s ok but just too crowded all the time so I leave the area as soon as I get in my car. Lots of beautiful state parks in the area but just too many people. Forget Zion. Gorgeous and breathtaking but always crowded. And the development of this area is off the charts. Construction everywhere and only going to get worse. Gotta look for a more laid back area eventually. Great video Triston! Padre Canyon Trail and Scout Cave Trail are my favorite so far.
I love the multi camera perspectives. The drone adds a lot. Great work!!!
I have lived in Utah for the past 44 years but I still look forward every week to your videos because you get to all the neat places that I am unable to go. Thanks for another great video. Please be safe and keep them coming.
Epic place. The interpretation of the mood of the rocks was spot on 🤣
Tristan,
Your drone shots are simply wonderful...thanks mucho!!
Thanks Dean! Having the new drone definitely helps.
One more comment when the world gets an old man confused it a welcome relief to watch your videos they gives a fella a chance to gather his thoughts together 😊
Tristan, thanks for a beautiful start to my Saturday!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

Absolutely beautiful hike with the snow! I really enjoyed seeing the drone shots of the slot canyon. As always thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks as always for watching!
That is funny! You'll stand at the edge of a precipice with a 1000' drop and won't drive down a hill! Love the adventures! Great job, be safe!
I drive down hills all the time. Just not super, super steep ones covered in snow 😁
I’ve driven down one of the hills that Tristan did some time back to get to a campsite in Montana. He didn’t make any mention of it in his video but my Tacoma needed crawl control engaged to get it done safely. It was very short, but it was steeeep.
Yes... well umm I find I have much more control standing on a cliff than driving down one... 😁
We love our Arizona deserts, especially when snow dusts the landscape and cactus.
I noticed you are getting close to 200,000 subscribers. Congratulations! Well deserved.
Thanks!
Awesome video again. You've really been knocking them out of the park lately!
Thanks, I'm glad you think so!
I liked the rope climbing up into the slot canyon. Neat night views.
Wow! That arch view was just gorgeous ! Without you doing all the hiking, well, I would never get to see such beautiful scenery! Thank You Tristan ‼️
That was a great spot, wasn't it? Thanks for watching!
Love the craggy looking walls of the slot canyon & the great drone footage of the area. Quote of the day “ First hike of 2024 to get out of the cold & snow”. What???? Cold & snow in the desert😮😱😱😱 Great trip🙋🏼♀️👍🏻
Lol right? Oh well, at least it was warmer than back home!
High deserts have varied weather
What an absolutely superb view from the Keyhole Arch..
Simply amazingly amazing..
I surely wish I was young again and I lived over there..
Wow wow wow..
Watching water course through that slot canyon (safely from the top) would be quite a sight!
Geology is so amazing.
My favourite part was ALL OF IT..
Thankyou for sharing..
Thanks for watching!
Oh, wow! The snow can be a bit inconvenient, but it sure makes for an added scenic dimension to your video. And chasing the fading daylight is the reward for enjoying places without people.

I think that's a good idea 😄

Nothing like it as such in the UK where I live..
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed that!
Love seeing the places you go! My favorite parts of your videos are the “Where’s Waldo?” scenes. ☺️ Many thanks for taking us along. ❤
Thanks for watching!
A really great traveling video, excellent drone footage. The contrasting videos are the "Thing" that makes your channel so much more interesting and enjoyable. Your videos take me where I can't go. Thank you.😊
Thanks! I try to mix things up to keep it interesting for me and for you guys 👍
Love your explorations! Thank you for taking the time and sharing Mother Natures beauty with all of us. Stay safe out there.
Thanks for watching!
You do such good camera work - kudos to you.
Thanks!

😱 TMI❗️(The last part only!) Thankfully you survived!
Beautiful in the snow~! :)
"The desert is STILL beautiful after the snow..." No, it's even MORE beautiful!
Great adventure Tristan. Loved the aerial view of the canyon!! Looking forward to more😊
There's lots more planned, so stay tuned!
Overhead drone shots really add perspective especially over the slot canyon
I thought so too! They turned out well.
Not sure if you’ve hiked Paria River to Colorado River or Buckskin gulch? Both amazing hikes/backpacking trips
What good luck to find the rope up the canyon wall!
What a cool video with great drone footage! Thanks for sharing!😀👍
My favorite part was the beautiful Keyhole Arch! Thank you Tristan!❤️😀🇺🇸🌏🚙
I had to giggle when you were jogging to beat the sunset; because I have done that too
My favorite part was the Arch!❤️😀🇺🇸🚙🌏
I always love it when a planned adventure throws you a surprise that takes you on a new adventure! So cool that rope was there to provide you a cool and unplanned hiking loop back to your car!

Good questions! Time for a Q&A, Tristan!
Gorgeous country with that little dressing of snow.... fantastic drone shots!
You're a great film maker. Beautiful shots.
Your drone footage is amazing . Thank you for all you do for your viewers!
Xlnt camera work, 2024's gonna be a great one!
Your Landcruiser is a really really capable 4x4, learn about it. If it's got locking diffs it's almost unstoppable.
Stay safe out there 🤙🏽 ✌🏽
It does indeed 👍

I love the drone shots from directly overhead of you walking in Quail Canyon. The first one looks like a painting...a work of art!
What wonderful spots you bring us to. Thanks!
Lol’d at 16:07. You never rush.
☕️🍪🍪🍪🍨 amazing photography as always. Safe travels. Till next time. 😎
Love your videos! Can't wait to see the rest of this trip!
Love watching your videos! The camera shots are awesome!
Tristan - Love your videos. You go many places I can no longer manage, but I sure enjoy seeing them through your eyes.
Beautiful
Another awesome adventure. Congrats
Great video. I like the moderate day hikes where you can get a little exercise while visiting the west by car. The drone views were really cool.
I thought the drone shots and your choice of music was spot on! Ethereal with some synthesizer power chords. Please continue making this great content!
Good show, contrasts wouldn't be without a look.

Gee - snow - what a real bummer for you after your big drive - hope your ok
Another solid video Tristan. Definitely more stark terrain, as you pointed out, but still quite nice. The views from the arch are beautiful.
Awesome adventure spot! I went to fossil canyon 2 years ago and did the same loop you did all the way back to the parking area. Glad to see the rope is still there.
Super stoked that I found your channel. Subbed and now a frequent watcher.
You have the best TH-cam channel , thanks for bringing us along , you should have 5 million subscribers , I tell everyone I can about your channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Some really nice scenery with a great hike.
I always enjoy your videos. I'm in the St George area and hiked Fossil Canyon last year. It's fun to see the videos in terrain that I'm familiar with!
I love driving that Virgin River Canyon on I 15. Thanks for going off the interstate for me. Loved your finds today.
Love it when it snows in the desert 🌵. Fossil Canyon seems like a good find, need to check that out.
I too am not a fan of campfires 🔥 for many of the same reasons plus having sensitive lungs. But I do like too use them as a natural resource to cook on and dry wet items. I’ll just end up coughing most of the morning.
Thank you.
Loved the aerial views in the video, especially with the sugar coating of a fresh dusting of snow: magical! The little timelapse thru the snowy landscape was cool too; just like seeing how white the landscape was on one side of the arch, compared to the other side :-)

been going down to Quartzsite area for the last 6 years and have decided to start boon docking around the area your at now, die to the fact there are some many people here that you cant drive 2 miles without a motorhome or jeep or side by side pulling out in front of you while your on the hwy doing the speed limit and they never get over 35/40 mph, this year i had a guy run a stop sign and hit my jeep first accident in a non semi i have been in since i got my license on 1969
You Rock MrT😉👍
Thank you, Tristan, this was beautiful and such a treat! I enjoyed and loved it all! Please be safe.
A little trick we do sometimes. Get a little bubble wrap and put around your main camera tape it on there. Tie par cord to the top of the tripod for balance. Take end off Long parachord with you. Pull camera up. Only works for elevated situations
I love the St George area. It's honestly my favorite town anywhere. The town itself is beautiful and there is so much to do in that region if you like the outdoors.

@6:36 is there a slab that has tipped over and completely covers the canyon?
Nice editing coordinating the footage from different cameras when you climbed the rope out of the canyon.
Awesome.
My favorite part is the gnarly Limestone slot canyon. Great video!
Are you going to see the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse in April? I saw the 2017 Eclipse and highly recommend it!
Just realized that one of the reasons I enjoy your video's so much is the extra time and effort you take to get distant shots of yourself from a tripod camera or drone.

Was that barbed wire at the keyhole arch? (Love your videos.)
I don't remember if it was barbed or not, but yeah, there was wire there
