Wow I didn't realize y'all upgraded to the FX-3! That is a sweet camera. Do y'all use ND filters at all? And do you follow the 180 rule or just run-and-gun mostly? I have always been told to do the 180 rule but I feel like it slows me down for vlog style videos.
@@jamiebuckleyphotography We love the FX3! Was a scary purchase for the wallet haha, but we are super happy with it! We have been using ND filters, but not always a huge fan. Still trying to learn how to use it properly (we have variable ones). We are shooting at double our frame rate, but that’s a new thing since we got the camera. Before we just did auto settings, but then learned of the rule and thought we’d try it out for now! Still very much filming newbs 😂
WOW! I've watched all 230 of your videos and this video was easily in the top 5! Fantastic sound blended with all the beautifully captured natural surroundings; really makes me want to get right out there and hike all of it. There are a lot of videos that will say, "Here are the top 10 things you need to see in such and such national park...," but you essentially did that while telling a story, which is much better. Even before I watched the video, I was at work, briefly saw that the video had dropped, and recommended it to a colleague who has been saying she wants to go to Death Valley. Y'all make me proud that I did!
Didn’t have to wait long to see this! I actually just fully recovered from an injury sustained going down Ubehebe three or so months ago. Long story. Dante’s View looks amazing. We were there 4-5 days and road access was closed due to flooding. This became one of our more favorite parks after visiting.
Sorry to hear about your injury! We’re glad it didn’t change your feelings about the park. Kathryn still is haunted by Mammoth Cave! Thank you for watching!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I remember that video. Injuries are scary. First trip we ever took where we both needed crutches. And yes - opinion didn’t change. Racetrack is a must next time we go
I felt like I was in a beautiful postcard while watching this vlog! Such jaw dropping beauty! You did such a great job! I LOVED seeing Konie rolling around on your cushions, Adam going out to “play” golf ⛳️ 🤣, Kathryn climbing up the one rock and straddling it🤣, “Death Valley, I hope you find your dad!!!”🤣🤣🤣, both of your dance moves…such a fun, informative and beautifully done video!!! It makes my heart happy to see your true personalities come out in all your videos…you two are the real deal!
Wow! A waterfalls!!! My husband and I have visited Death Valley and have not seen half of what you have seen. Thank you for sharing! I loved the sand flowing through your hands. The simple things are the most beautiful!
I've not really had a desire to visit Death Valley NP until now! Thanks for sharing, the waterfall and mosaic hike were stunning. Great videography, story telling, and editing as always.
Your photography is AMAZING! Like something out of National Geographic documentary. Great music choices! This was a breathtaking video! Thanks you guys.
We just went there. The Badwater basin is actually covered in water now. I’m guessing from Hurricane Harvey. Darwin Falls and Crowley were both closed due to road construction (there is a stretch of road about 5 miles long where you have to be escorted).
I always enjoy your videos, You go the extra mile to include interesting facts about what you are seeing. Thank you for sharing your guy's journeys. Keep on keeping on.
Awesome! We have a lot more Death Valley and other California content on our webstie. adventuresofaplusk.com/california Thanks and thanks for watching!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thank you both for your hard work and time in researching and making all of these videos/guides! 💕 And also for the jokes at the end 😂
Went to Death Valley many years ago as a child with my family ( I’m 70 years old ) Death Valley Scotty was my favorite place. I’m totally enjoying your videos! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for another wonderful video. My husband and I were at Death Valley in the spring on 2010 (if memory serves), the flowers were in bloom but the most unusual thing was that the Badwater Basin was covered in water due to so much rain. I no longer travel, so really enjoy seeing your videos of some of the places that we have traveled to and enjoyed and some that we missed. Keep up the good work and travel safe!!!
Your videos are so interesting and enjoyable to watch. I admire your enthusiasm and hiking abilities. Thanks for taking me along to places I’ll never see!❤️
Interesting facts! Beautiful colors, especially the "gold" mountain rising up in the background! Enjoy your mini vaca and have a wonderful time! See you later!
Terrific video! It’s been 47 years since I last spent any real time in the valley. (My 3 year old daughter will be 50 in four days.) It’s great to see both the changes and the beauty that is still unchanged. I think I still have sand in my boots from the dune hikes!
Hey guys....Adam and Kathryn....just discovered your channel and really enjoying the content, your commentary, humor, video and photo composure, the places you go.... just outstanding!!!My Wife and I have been to many of the places as well...about 46 States...thanks for the memories....from Hank and Pam of South Texas....Travel safe guys and keep those videos coming!!!
Another absolutely fantastic/amazing video… In addition, Your B roll and music choices are so spot on in every scene….I have been to death Valley and after watching your video I can’t wait to go back… Speaking on behalf of your loyal subscribers… We love everyone of your videos but please do not get burnt out… Take all the time you need for you personal well being. I am so looking forward to when you get to Alaska but all of your adventures before hand are scintillating!
Thank you for those kind words and thanks for watching! One of our big goals this year was to balance work with relax time (we're failing at the goal 😂, but it's still early!). There is just so much to see and do on our route, we want to share as much as we can. Thanks again!
Yay, my boyfriend and I love your videos and your journeys it really helps us with ideas. Death Valley is my favorite national park and you captured everything beautifully. Another one of our favorites is Great Basin national park in Eastern Nevada. Happy travels!
Thank you and thank you both for watching! We LOVED DV and it’s one of our favorites now too. We just missed Great Basin last year when we were in the area, but we are really excited to check that one out one day!
Wonderful video series in Death Valle A+K! You do such a great job of researching the area you are exploring and telling the story of the past and how it is today. As you said, looks like lots to see and do in DV, for 5 months or so of the year! Safe travels.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We do a lot of research ahead of time so we are glad that comes across and is appreciated. There certainly is tons to do in the park! Thanks for watching!
I was in Death Valley this new year. It was impressed with how amazing and how big it is. The sunrise in sand dunes became the most remarkable moment during that trip. Love your video. Good job!
February looks like a great time to visit the park! We will have to keep that in mind as we plan our adventures for next year! Thanks for sharing another awesome blog you guys!
Thank you for sharing this! I had no idea that Death Valley was so awesome and had so much variety! Definitely added it to the list of must see national parks!
Wow! Another great video:). Every NP you visit that I have visited makes me want to go back. You do find all the best places. I was hoping you would have gone to Racetrack too. I did Death Valley with my daughter probably a decade ago in July! It was so hot you literally felt like you couldn't breathe especially in the Basin. Thanks for sharing your amazing travels!
Thank you! We do a lot of research beforehand so I'm glad that shows. We just didn't have time for Racetrack with all the other things we had planned, plus we were gravel roaded out for a few days after Titus Canyon...next time! Thanks for watching!
Awesome! You did not disappoint. I can't wait to get to Death Valley so I can see as many things as possible! Also thanks for that tip about The Pads. Enjoy your break 😀
Great job sharing how wonderful and underestimated this national park is in the U.S. You reinforced my opinion that 3 days minimum is ideal to really see the highlights. With only 2 days, I missed out on the crater so enjoyed your footage. And I must say, you both motivated me to get my behind out of bed and make sunrise for travel. I remember feeling guilty at Mesquite Sand Dunes when I crossed paths with you guys finishing as I was just going out there. Your lighting was fantastic on the sand dunes. As always, safe travels...
It was great running into you 3 times! Getting up early for sunrise rarely disappoints! We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the park. Safe travels to you as well
Very well done video! I am going to the Death Valley next week and was expecting your video to come out this week. I am following your journey starting from Texas. I really like your videos because: You done a lot research and gathered a lot information before hand and presented in your video a lot of interesting facts and historical information in everyone of your videos. Styles and quality of our photography and videography are superb. Your narrations are right to the points and clear. You spend time editing the video and not overly use background music.
Thank you for those kind words. We’re glad you enjoy and get value out of the video. That is our main goal. Keep us updated on how your trip goes and let us know if you have any questions!
Another great video . What an amazing places. Been going to San Diego but never heard about Death Valley 😕. Thank you for showing us around. Definitely coming there. ✌
I visited Death Valley NP in February 2022, and it took my breath away. You guys did an excellent job of showing the scale and colors, which are impressive in person but often times difficult to capture on camera. I was blown away by all of the blue, purple, pink, and orange hues, and the sheer vastness of the park. Mosaic Canyon was by far our favorite hike. Thanks for another great video!
I got to enjoy my vacation all over again watching your video! We returned a week ago from spending 5 days at DVNP. We saw everything you saw except the crater. We also enjoyed hikes south of Badwater Basin. There were less people down that way and we felt like we had the park to ourselves. These hikes were Willow Creek (with a very nice water fall at the end); Sidewinder Canyon (with 6 slot canyons to explore); and Room Canyon. All can be found on AllTrails. Also, the mountains were very colorful down that way, too. We also enjoyed spending a day exploring Emigrant Canyon Rd and the old mines and charcoal kilns located off that road. I also felt like a kid on the Mesquite Sand Dunes! Oh, and we were pleasantly surprised by how unique and cool the Twenty Mule Team Canyon Scenic Drive was; would highly recommend. Artists Palette reminded me of an ice cream sundae! :).
We will have to add those to our list for next time! We hadn’t heard of Willow Park or some of the others you mentioned. We did hear good things about the Twenty Mule Team Road, but just didn’t have time. Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!
Love from Canada! From where we are located and the kind of climate we are accustomed to, NOT visiting this park! But, we have now visited it vicariously through you and enjoyed it much more. Superb video with lots and lots of information!
Wonderful Park. We visited in October. Late fall through February is the best time to visit to avoid the heat. We enjoyed Mosaic Canyon, Darwin Falls, Mesquite Dunes, but there is a lot to see and do there.
Wow! I am amazed at how much Death Valley has to offer. Your vlogs always have such fascinating information & spectacular filming!! Thrilled for what’s ahead! Cuddle time with Kona!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Awesome video guys! We just got done with a trip to Channel Islands National Park (Santa Cruz Island). Our kids enjoyed the boat ride to and from the Island. They were out front the entire time and we got to see Grey Whales and dolphins! Hope you guys enjoy your mini vacation at Big Bear!
Thank you and thanks for watching! We just did the same trip to Santa Cruz Island and had the same great time as your kids on the boat ride 🤣! We saw tons of wildlife
@@AdventuresofAplusK So cool!!! Are you guys going to Pinnacles NP or Monterey? We got to do the aquarium in Monterey and it was a lot of fun. We didn't get to do Pinnacles though. Looking forward to the rest of your trip!
We’re hoping to do Pinnacles soon! We’ve been to Monterrey a couple times so I’m not sure how much time we’ll spend there this time, but it is hard to resist because it’s so beautiful!
thanks for the show , I have been there 4 times on motorcycle in may before the heat , you went to a couple places I have not been to, riding with a group you can't always see all ,but seeing where you went makes me want to go back . my group stays in Beatty they have good rates on rooms ,gas and places to eat . next time check out the ghost town Rhyolite its in the park and scotty's castle .
Thank you for watching! There is so much to see at DV…it definitely requires multiple trips. Beatty was such a neat town and we especially loved the burros. It was nice to pop into Nevada to instantly get a dollar off diesel! We checked out Rhyolite in the video we posted before this one and we loved learning about its history. We’d love to go back in time and see it in its heyday. Scotty’s Castle was closed on our visit unfortunately, so we’ll see it next time. Thanks for the tip!
@@AdventuresofAplusK the last time I was there Scottys was closed also but had seen it before , the winter after I was there last washed out the road and did some damage to the property ,don't know if it will ever reopen . love our country .
So fun! I am using all your excellent information for my trip in February so thank you! Have you ever thought of starting a podcast? That would be awesome! ( although that would mean cutting back on all of your other wonderful videos, articles on your website etc. so…maybe not😊)
Hey Marlo! No, we haven’t given much thought to a podcast. Like you mentioned we’ve got tons to do already with our videos and website. Thanks and thanks for watching!
Hello again Adventurers😊😊😊, I have NEVER known that there was a waterfall...in DEATH VALLEY! Absolutely AMAZING! Very awesome video. I can't wait to see what's next👍👍👍👍👍👍.
Hello Adam & Katherine! I’ve never thought of going to Death Valley, but after watching this video, I would love to go. Those mountains did look like sherbet ice cream! Such vibrant colors. I know ice cream is yours and Katherine’s favorite. Mosaic Canyon Trail was so amazing! The waterfall was so beautiful, I never thought of a waterfall at Death Valley. 😲 Adam you made laugh when you came out of the van with your gulf clubs and said “what?” So funny!😂 Thank you so much for all the info about all the places you visit, it’s so very interesting. I’ve been enjoying all your videos! Happy and safe travels to you both. 😊😊🥰🚐🌋⛰🏜🏔🏞🌄
Happy that you guys give yourselves a break as well. Filming and editing takes a lot of work and planning. I'm sure we only see a fraction of all the total footage you guys take.
Great video. I've been to DVNP but you did things I never knew existed. I would have lost money on a bet whether there was a waterfall within DVNP. Good job editing and I enjoyed the music selections as well.
Death Valley! I’ve never been there, but several years ago my folks wanted to go on a road trip from San Antonio to Death Valley, and I let them borrow my 08’ Honda Element to make the trek. They loved it and I’d imagine the Element loved it too. Hopefully Brisket does as well 🚘🌞🤙🏽
I’ve been to Death Valley about 6 times and going again next week taking my grandson. I believe you captured Death Valley the best of any utube videos I’ve watched. I live in Ohio.
Artists Palette looks a lot like the Blue Basin, near John Day ,Oregon. Hope you guys can check that part of Oregon out on a trip. Also, look up Strawberry Mountain, near there. Just gorgeous! We did it in a 24” Sprinter van. Also! Epic views at the top of the Tam McArthur trail at Three Creeks Lake, about 20 miles south of Sisters, Oregon. Lots to see in central OR! We were quite surprised.
Central Oregon is amazing! We made a video with Visit Bend in April and had a lot of fun! We've been to central Oregon a couple times, but haven't done what you mentioned. Central (and Eastern Oregon for the first time) is definitely high on our list to explore and return to!
Fantastic video. Excellent landscape photography. Really stunning production. If you are headed to the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park (Wawona Gate)...there is a novel and beautiful nine hole mountain golf course and a campground off the Wawona river.
Thank you and thanks for watching! Ooooo we're not heading there this year, but next time we do I'll keep an eye out for that course and try to squeeze in a round!
Great pro tip on cell service. Was just wondering that before we head out tomorrow to follow in your footsteps. My wife wants to know how your lipstick always looks so good (that's for Katherine)? I'm digging the stylish sock fashion you're rocking. Adam, are you wearing Sportiva shoes? They look like mine... If so, sorry to say, you're wearing old man shoes... Cause I'm an old man. 😆😆 Hope us old folks have as much fun as you kids! Thanks for all the tips.
Yes definitely don’t bank on much cell service. The one spot we had good service was Dante’s View. But definitely download offline Google Maps and AllTrails maps! She said it’s Revlon Color Stay and it apparently makes good on its claim! My shoes are Altra, but I can see the resemblance! Hopefully they keep my feet young!
Y'all's photography and cinematography is so good! I want to do Mosaic Canyon if I go back. I wasn't too sure about driving a rental car out on that road to get to the trailhead. I did Darwin Falls though, so that road sounds worse.
National Geographic has nothing on you two! WOW, I was sad the video ended!! Thank you for taking us along this amazing journey….who knew Death Valley was so stunning! The shot @19:29 is frame worthy!!! Bravo guys great video~Cara 😊
Wow that place looks like another plant like the moon and how graceful you looked climbing those rocks. LOL That park looks unreal. Hope I get there someday. Wow a waterfall in death valley who knew.
The Ubehebe crater? Such an awesome name! Very much appreciated the joke of the lake name, plus the sun light when you were down there was all kinds of pretty! 😍 The Golden Canyon hike was beautiful, and a pretty cool and unexpected view where it pushed you out, but the Mosaic Canyon was my favourite thing from this video. First there was the epic scrambling you guys had to do... love a bit of scrambling, but I also I had no idea that rocks like the mosaic ones naturally existed. When we were choosing tiles for our bathroom, I really wanted terrazzo tiles which look a bit like what were in the canyon... but they were so expensive we decided against it. Love that you guys have a little vacation gifted to you by subscribers 🙌
Mosaic Canyon was simply gorgeous! And a ton of fun especially with the scrambling. Nature is pretty crazy huh? We hope your bathroom tile turned out to be what you wanted! The mini vacation was much needed and much appreciated!
Would love to see you guys do a "Day in the Life of Kona" episode. Especially since you make the national/state park scene with a dog work. A lot of people w/ dogs avoid parks all together, which is a shame. Would be nice to see how you address the nitty gritty details of keeping Kona in the van during hikes he can't go on; the dog products you use to make him comfortable during life on the road (ie. outdoor trampoline bed - how you store it in the van, etc.); how you address keeping his dog food consistent from various locations; does he have a routine, etc.?
These are great questions! We do have a blog post about what we do with Kona when she cannot join us, including how we keep the van safe for her. We will try to add more insight into the others!

It is one of our favs, too! 💙
Wow! Another great video:). Every NP you visit that I have visited makes me want to go back. You do find all the best places. I was hoping you would have gone to Racetrack too. I did Death Valley with my daughter probably a decade ago in July! It was so hot you literally felt like you couldn't breathe especially in the Basin. Thanks for sharing your amazing travels!
Thank you! We do a lot of research beforehand so I'm glad that shows. We just didn't have time for Racetrack with all the other things we had planned, plus we were gravel roaded out for a few days after Titus Canyon...next time! Thanks for watching!
Awesome! You did not disappoint. I can't wait to get to Death Valley so I can see as many things as possible! Also thanks for that tip about The Pads. Enjoy your break 😀
The Pads is the perfect spot to homebase super close to the park. We hope you have a great trip whenever you go
@@AdventuresofAplusK I'll be there in about 2 weeks or less 😀
Great job sharing how wonderful and underestimated this national park is in the U.S. You reinforced my opinion that 3 days minimum is ideal to really see the highlights. With only 2 days, I missed out on the crater so enjoyed your footage. And I must say, you both motivated me to get my behind out of bed and make sunrise for travel. I remember feeling guilty at Mesquite Sand Dunes when I crossed paths with you guys finishing as I was just going out there. Your lighting was fantastic on the sand dunes. As always, safe travels...
It was great running into you 3 times! Getting up early for sunrise rarely disappoints! We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the park. Safe travels to you as well
The cinematography is getting more and more beautiful. Looking forward to more adventures.
Thank you, Mel! And thanks for watching!
Wowzers that sure is a mind boggling colorful experience!!
Very well done video! I am going to the Death Valley next week and was expecting your video to come out this week. I am following your journey starting from Texas. I really like your videos because: You done a lot research and gathered a lot information before hand and presented in your video a lot of interesting facts and historical information in everyone of your videos. Styles and quality of our photography and videography are superb. Your narrations are right to the points and clear. You spend time editing the video and not overly use background music.
Thank you for those kind words. We’re glad you enjoy and get value out of the video. That is our main goal. Keep us updated on how your trip goes and let us know if you have any questions!
Those shots at sunrise at the dunes- stunning! Loved your work. Again. :) Also kudos on your scrambling! You guys are studs! 💪🏻 💥
Thank you, Norma!
Going Death Valley soon! This video is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️
Thank you and thanks for watching! We hope you have a great trip!
Another great video . What an amazing places. Been going to San Diego but never heard about Death Valley 😕. Thank you for showing us around. Definitely coming there. ✌
Thank you! Yes you gotta go!
I visited Death Valley NP in February 2022, and it took my breath away. You guys did an excellent job of showing the scale and colors, which are impressive in person but often times difficult to capture on camera. I was blown away by all of the blue, purple, pink, and orange hues, and the sheer vastness of the park. Mosaic Canyon was by far our favorite hike. Thanks for another great video!
Death Valley is such an epic place! It really blew us away!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
The rock breccia was so cool to learn about. My geologist aunt and science uncle would love this! 💯
We enjoyed learning about it too. We hope to pick up more of this knowledge along the way!
Great video on an area I know so well. Excellent photography AND editing. So professional! I watched a couple of your videos and you do a great job..
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
So cool! We missed it last time we went to Vegas. Now, I need to go back!!
Heck ya!
What a unique park! Not a tree in sight until you hiked to the waterfall. 🌳 Great video!
It is a very unique park! Thank you and thanks for watching!
I got to enjoy my vacation all over again watching your video! We returned a week ago from spending 5 days at DVNP. We saw everything you saw except the crater. We also enjoyed hikes south of Badwater Basin. There were less people down that way and we felt like we had the park to ourselves. These hikes were Willow Creek (with a very nice water fall at the end); Sidewinder Canyon (with 6 slot canyons to explore); and Room Canyon. All can be found on AllTrails. Also, the mountains were very colorful down that way, too. We also enjoyed spending a day exploring Emigrant Canyon Rd and the old mines and charcoal kilns located off that road. I also felt like a kid on the Mesquite Sand Dunes! Oh, and we were pleasantly surprised by how unique and cool the Twenty Mule Team Canyon Scenic Drive was; would highly recommend. Artists Palette reminded me of an ice cream sundae! :).
We will have to add those to our list for next time! We hadn’t heard of Willow Park or some of the others you mentioned. We did hear good things about the Twenty Mule Team Road, but just didn’t have time. Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!
Love from Canada! From where we are located and the kind of climate we are accustomed to, NOT visiting this park! But, we have now visited it vicariously through you and enjoyed it much more. Superb video with lots and lots of information!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I love how you give information and history as if you already knew all this stuff already. I'm sure it was all only one takes. 😜
Walking encyclopedias here! What you don’t see is us reading lots of the facts behind that strategically placed b roll! 🤣
Interesting, and made special by great photography/editing as usual!
Thanks, Simon!
Y'all's videography skills keep getting better and better. Some amazing shots in this. Thanks for sharing, and safe travels to you.
💗 thank you and thanks for watching!
Cool soundtrack too!
Wonderful Park. We visited in October. Late fall through February is the best time to visit to avoid the heat. We enjoyed Mosaic Canyon, Darwin Falls, Mesquite Dunes, but there is a lot to see and do there.
We had a great time and had great weather thankfully. Tons to see and do
Loved every minute of this video! Every shot could be from a SW movie!
Thank you, Richard!
Wow! I am amazed at how much Death Valley has to offer. Your vlogs always have such fascinating information & spectacular filming!! Thrilled for what’s ahead! Cuddle time with Kona!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! ❤️
Awesome video guys! We just got done with a trip to Channel Islands National Park (Santa Cruz Island). Our kids enjoyed the boat ride to and from the Island. They were out front the entire time and we got to see Grey Whales and dolphins! Hope you guys enjoy your mini vacation at Big Bear!
Thank you and thanks for watching! We just did the same trip to Santa Cruz Island and had the same great time as your kids on the boat ride 🤣! We saw tons of wildlife
@@AdventuresofAplusK So cool!!! Are you guys going to Pinnacles NP or Monterey? We got to do the aquarium in Monterey and it was a lot of fun. We didn't get to do Pinnacles though. Looking forward to the rest of your trip!
We’re hoping to do Pinnacles soon! We’ve been to Monterrey a couple times so I’m not sure how much time we’ll spend there this time, but it is hard to resist because it’s so beautiful!
thanks for the show , I have been there 4 times on motorcycle in may before the heat , you went to a couple places I have not been to, riding with a group you can't always see all ,but seeing where you went makes me want to go back . my group stays in Beatty they have good rates on rooms ,gas and places to eat . next time check out the ghost town Rhyolite its in the park and scotty's castle .
Thank you for watching! There is so much to see at DV…it definitely requires multiple trips. Beatty was such a neat town and we especially loved the burros. It was nice to pop into Nevada to instantly get a dollar off diesel! We checked out Rhyolite in the video we posted before this one and we loved learning about its history. We’d love to go back in time and see it in its heyday. Scotty’s Castle was closed on our visit unfortunately, so we’ll see it next time. Thanks for the tip!
@@AdventuresofAplusK the last time I was there Scottys was closed also but had seen it before , the winter after I was there last washed out the road and did some damage to the property ,don't know if it will ever reopen . love our country .
So fun! I am using all your excellent information for my trip in February so thank you!
Have you ever thought of starting a podcast? That would be awesome! ( although that would mean cutting back on all of your other wonderful videos, articles on your website etc. so…maybe not😊)
Hey Marlo! No, we haven’t given much thought to a podcast. Like you mentioned we’ve got tons to do already with our videos and website. Thanks and thanks for watching!
Excellent!! I'll be there next week. One of my favorite places
Enjoy!
Loved the beats while watching this🤩
really enjoyed the video. Death Valley is high on the list of places i want to visit
So much content with great production quality. Great job as always. Good to hear you guys can mix a little R&R in between as it’s a long journey
Thank you and thanks for watching! That was one of our goals this year…we’ve fallen behind on it a bit, but we’re trying!
Another math reference (6:00) “polygon shapes”. Love your videos. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you, Carol! Math is everywhere if you look for it!
Hello again Adventurers😊😊😊, I have NEVER known that there was a waterfall...in DEATH VALLEY! Absolutely AMAZING! Very awesome video. I can't wait to see what's next👍👍👍👍👍👍.
Pretty wild, huh?! We had no idea either until we started planning our trip
Hello Adam & Katherine! I’ve never thought of going to Death Valley, but after watching this video, I would love to go. Those mountains did look like sherbet ice cream! Such vibrant colors. I know ice cream is yours and Katherine’s favorite. Mosaic Canyon Trail was so amazing! The waterfall was so beautiful, I never thought of a waterfall at Death Valley. 😲 Adam you made laugh when you came out of the van with your gulf clubs and said “what?” So funny!😂
Thank you so much for all the info about all the places you visit, it’s so very interesting. I’ve been enjoying all your videos! Happy and safe travels to you both. 😊😊🥰🚐🌋⛰🏜🏔🏞🌄
There is so much to do in the park! The golf scene was very fun to film. Thank you and thanks for watching!
Happy that you guys give yourselves a break as well. Filming and editing takes a lot of work and planning. I'm sure we only see a fraction of all the total footage you guys take.
Yes it is a lot of work and planning. Thanks for recognizing that. We had a great little break! And thank you for watching!
Great video. I've been to DVNP but you did things I never knew existed. I would have lost money on a bet whether there was a waterfall within DVNP. Good job editing and I enjoyed the music selections as well.
We would’ve lost that bet as well! Thank you for watching and thanks for the kind words, Steve!
Death Valley! I’ve never been there, but several years ago my folks wanted to go on a road trip from San Antonio to Death Valley, and I let them borrow my 08’ Honda Element to make the trek. They loved it and I’d imagine the Element loved it too. Hopefully Brisket does as well 🚘🌞🤙🏽
Now THAT'S a trip! Brisket did love it as well! Thanks for watching
I’ve been to Death Valley about 6 times and going again next week taking my grandson. I believe you captured Death Valley the best of any utube videos I’ve watched. I live in Ohio.
thank you, Bob! we hope you have a great trip with your grandson! and thank you for watching!
Great video! Time off well deserved. Wow, Adam can really shake it 🤭
Haha thank you! And thanks for watching!
Artists Palette looks a lot like the Blue Basin, near John Day ,Oregon. Hope you guys can check that part of Oregon out on a trip. Also, look up Strawberry Mountain, near there. Just gorgeous! We did it in a 24” Sprinter van. Also! Epic views at the top of the Tam McArthur trail at Three Creeks Lake, about 20 miles south of Sisters, Oregon. Lots to see in central OR! We were quite surprised.
Central Oregon is amazing! We made a video with Visit Bend in April and had a lot of fun! We've been to central Oregon a couple times, but haven't done what you mentioned. Central (and Eastern Oregon for the first time) is definitely high on our list to explore and return to!
Great video! Death Valley looked nothing like I thought it would! Not sure what I thought but I guess just flat desert land!
There is so much diversity there. Thanks for watching!
Very nice!!!!! Headed there soon!
Fantastic video. Excellent landscape photography. Really stunning production. If you are headed to the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park (Wawona Gate)...there is a novel and beautiful nine hole mountain golf course and a campground off the Wawona river.
Thank you and thanks for watching! Ooooo we're not heading there this year, but next time we do I'll keep an eye out for that course and try to squeeze in a round!
Great pro tip on cell service. Was just wondering that before we head out tomorrow to follow in your footsteps.
My wife wants to know how your lipstick always looks so good (that's for Katherine)?
I'm digging the stylish sock fashion you're rocking.
Adam, are you wearing Sportiva shoes? They look like mine... If so, sorry to say, you're wearing old man shoes... Cause I'm an old man. 😆😆
Hope us old folks have as much fun as you kids! Thanks for all the tips.
Yes definitely don’t bank on much cell service. The one spot we had good service was Dante’s View. But definitely download offline Google Maps and AllTrails maps!
She said it’s Revlon Color Stay and it apparently makes good on its claim!
My shoes are Altra, but I can see the resemblance! Hopefully they keep my feet young!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thanks! You guys are alright!
Death Valley is so different than I pictured it. The green color on the hills are stunning.
It's a pretty diverse and unique place!
Amazing video n editing ty soooo much
Thanks!
Y'all's photography and cinematography is so good! I want to do Mosaic Canyon if I go back. I wasn't too sure about driving a rental car out on that road to get to the trailhead. I did Darwin Falls though, so that road sounds worse.
The road to Darwin Falls was definitely worse than to Mosaic Canyon. I think they're about the same length. Thank you so much!
National Geographic has nothing on you two! WOW, I was sad the video ended!! Thank you for taking us along this amazing journey….who knew Death Valley was so stunning! The shot @19:29 is frame worthy!!!
Bravo guys great video~Cara 😊
Thank you for those kind words and thanks for watching!
Wow that place looks like another plant like the moon and how graceful you looked climbing those rocks. LOL
That park looks unreal. Hope I get there someday. Wow a waterfall in death valley who knew.
It sure was otherworldly! Thanks for watching!
Excellent videography.
Another great video.
Hope the gas prices don't put a damper on any upcoming adventures!
Thank you! We’re rolling with it
The Ubehebe crater? Such an awesome name! Very much appreciated the joke of the lake name, plus the sun light when you were down there was all kinds of pretty! 😍 The Golden Canyon hike was beautiful, and a pretty cool and unexpected view where it pushed you out, but the Mosaic Canyon was my favourite thing from this video. First there was the epic scrambling you guys had to do... love a bit of scrambling, but I also I had no idea that rocks like the mosaic ones naturally existed. When we were choosing tiles for our bathroom, I really wanted terrazzo tiles which look a bit like what were in the canyon... but they were so expensive we decided against it. Love that you guys have a little vacation gifted to you by subscribers 🙌
Mosaic Canyon was simply gorgeous! And a ton of fun especially with the scrambling. Nature is pretty crazy huh? We hope your bathroom tile turned out to be what you wanted! The mini vacation was much needed and much appreciated!
Would love to see you guys do a "Day in the Life of Kona" episode. Especially since you make the national/state park scene with a dog work. A lot of people w/ dogs avoid parks all together, which is a shame. Would be nice to see how you address the nitty gritty details of keeping Kona in the van during hikes he can't go on; the dog products you use to make him comfortable during life on the road (ie. outdoor trampoline bed - how you store it in the van, etc.); how you address keeping his dog food consistent from various locations; does he have a routine, etc.?
These are great questions! We do have a blog post about what we do with Kona when she cannot join us, including how we keep the van safe for her. We will try to add more insight into the others!
