- In this video I go on an adventure that turns out to be a bit more than I bargained for! But it was worth it, and I end up in a place with world-class scenery and no crowds.

WOW 😊 Loved that I could rappel rocks, wade through a river, hike and see the breathtaking views of the Happy Canyon narrows all from the comfort & safety of my house. Thanks, Tristan for the great trip & up close rappelling footage. Great job ! 👏🏻👍🏻🙋🏼♀️
Thanks for tagging along! 😁
@@SUVRVing thanks Tristan, do you have gloves for climbing. That is a beautiful area. Enjoy.
Wow! You are so wonderful to take us along your journey! I can no longer do these adventures but feel like you. Guide me along with you!! So thank you very much! I’m just getting my SUV ready for a 2-3 night outing. We’ll see how that goes! At 71 I won’t be doing any rope work or major hiking.
I LOVE this video! Now, your repelling alone triggers the mom in me but the hike itself is spectacular. Thank you for bringing us along Tristan and BE CAREFUL! I worry about you!😉
Epic hike! If I know my geology right, the cliffs at the top are the Wingate Sandstone, the slopes below them the Chinle Formation (which explains the petrified wood, as it's commonly found in exposures of the Chinle Formation), and the chocolate-colored wafer-cookie-like multi-layered rock below that is the Moenkopi Formation.
As always-my favorite part is when your back at your vehicle💞 What a spectacular place-I would love to run my hand along the walls. As a young girl- I ran barefoot until stepping on broken glass & having to walk home over a mile leaving a blood trail. I never got in the water again without sneakers! I think seeing you walk through that muddy river was harder for this grandma to watch than watching you repell over the cliff. Thankful all went well-sending you some old fadhioned grandma love XOXO, Iris 👋
What amazing scenery. Just the views at the top make it look like a lovely alternative to the crowds at the Grand Canyon. Thank you Tristan.
It's worth going to the starting point just for those views, for sure. Thanks!
Stunning and spectacular is right! Wowsers. And the petrified tree stumps are really cool too.
Spectacular trip! Glad you took us on this tiring hike and climb. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks!
At my age I ould never have made that trip down the canyon by myself and I really appreciate your letting me "tag along". Without a doubt the canyon was spectacular and the best part of our hike. Looks very similar to Antelope Canyon in Az. another fantastic place.
Double wow on the climbing filming. Beautiful area. Thank you. And thank you for being clear at the end about the challenge and the fitness required for these stunning adventures.
Thanks Tristan another outstanding video, love how you explained the rock climbing, enjoyed the 4 reasons why you went there , showed me spectacular places I would not be able to make it to but would love to. Love the slots , geology, stats you give and the history. Thanks again ❤
Great trip, great video! When I saw the petrified stump and other flat sections, I wondered how they seem almost to have been cut, having such a flat surface.
Wow! Loved the Happy canyon narrows, the minor's signatures, the view and the petrified trees. Gosh, I loved everything about this hike practically. But I think I would camp at the bottom, too rigorous for me in one day. Thanks so much!
I wrote a poem while I was at Burr Point once, all alone, it's in one of my videos on my channel. I got some beautiful video clips while I was there, such a special place.
I TURNED MY youngest 32 YR.OLD SON TO YOUR VIDEOS AND HE SAID HE WAS NOT THAT INTERESTED IN WATCHING NATURE VIDIOS. I said he video's hikes that you will not do and has great drone footage and interesting narratives of places he explores in the west that I will never see.. I need to spread your video's to my older siblings. I Guess I like them because I have done a lot you have done when younger and miss it, Repelling is an adventure taking that first step over trusting your equipment. I skydived in my 50's because I love adventure , But you give people in the East the beauty of the West that we will never see from a personal perspective.
Utah, so much to see. What a magnificent slot canyon.
Every time I tune in another Incredible trip. Loved your comment, "where's the fun in driving when you can do the miners repel". Thanks for taking me someplace I could never get to on my own. Yes, you looked totally spent, great feeling isn't it!
Just spectacular!
Tristian, once again you don’t disappoint, great trip, hike and rock work! Just want to share that those petrified logs you sat on are probably a little radioactive, as many were deposited in meandering ancient rivers, covered by sediments and their organic structures replaced by uranium rich minerals through millions of years; that’s why uranium was mined in that are.
The view in the canyon is incredible. Sharon Davis' comment sums it up for me ❤
Tristan-I thought this was a GREAT video, the best one I-ve seen alll week! And I watch a bunch of videos! Thank you for going thru all this. Very gorgeous! You are awaesome.
Incredible! What an amazing adventure! Simply beautiful!
😎👍 Awesome adventure!
Amazing location/scenery! Thanks for sharing that canyon. By the way, I want to compliment you on a specific episode you did awhile back. Mt. Timpanagos and your family heritage... interesting, dramatic, and heartfelt! Thank you for sharing some personal family history. Also, have you ever, or plan on ever exploring the Virgin River in the Virgin River Gorge?
Wow your stamina is awesome! Loved watching it, such beautiful scenery.
Wow! Spectacular Tristen! What an amazing place loved the narrows and watching you rappel up and down the cliffs was simply amazing. I was tired for you. That was a lot for one day, but Epic! Always love your videos. Be careful out there.
nice views, great rocks, love the narrow canyon hike, might be a little hard for me to get too... Thanks for sharing Tristan.
That is one HARD trip! Then you have to climb back up the rope. That would have been too much even in my youth I think. Good on ya, as they say in Australia. 360 cameras are fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing such a unique place which you could see all by yourself
Excellent job!
Love this entire video! Thank you so much for taking us along with you! You are so appreciated 😊
What an absolutely gorgeous canyon and tremendous effort! Glad you didn’t die from dehydration 😮
One of your best videos yet!
Awesome rest area
Extremely enjoyable hike & climb! I’m more used to alpine hiking & the water issue would be interesting to hear how that’s best managed.
Awesome trip! Thanks as usual sir
Love your videos and that you show us on map the area you are at. I am to old to do what you do so I am seeing areas that I can not get to. Thank you so much.
Such beauty!
Amazing, thanks for sharing.
Fantastic that you do this as I no longer can
Awsome video Tristan, Thank you
Great video, nicely done
The rock climbing portions always make my adrenaline race! Scary!
Beautiful area. Thank you for the video Tristan!
All that way to drive out there, rappel down, hike for miles over rough terrain and you run into another human? That's pretty wild. The entire hike was great and those narrows were spectacular. Thanks for being our tour guide Tristan.
Fantastic, epic; you looked and sounded exhausted 😎⭐️🤩
Very pretty and interesting. Thanks.
Great place to be "Remembered `'"~
Thanks!
I don't know how you do it but I am so glad you do other I would never see it I wouldn't have the nerve too or the ability to do it thank you love your videos. Stay safe and enjoy be careful 😊😊😊
Thanks brother
You do extraordinary adventures! Thanks for bringing them to us!
Top shelf.
WOW I was exhausted watching you. Thank you though it was beautiful
Well, THAT`s one i will never do. Could have made an over-niter out of it, hey ? THANKS for 'the share,' young Mountain Goat Tristan. Hike On !
Great hike.....hope you get some sleep......ever enjoying your adventures....
i would have liked you walking out of the canyon without commentary ... gorgeous scenery
Triston that huge rock right above you when you were repelling looked precarious to me!😞
Fantastic video as usual. You do a very fine job in photographing your surroundings. The grouping of petrified logs almost look like somebody cut them into rounds with a chainsaw. Amazing how mama nature works.
At the end of the video you are sitting on a small camp chair. Can you elaborate a bit on that chair? It looks the perfect size. Thank you for all you do.
What is a moki marble? How were they formed? Thrilled that at 77 I can experience this while I recover from a hip replacement!
Wow!
I wonder what the gold content is in the water or or that river ???
Hey Tristan...I had asked you last week if you had ever explored and climbed the Henry mountains...if you have never made a video featuring the Henry's, I would really love to see one.
I found myself at the edge of a little waterfall. About fifteen feet. I'm not a climber. I thought, I'm here, the bottoms there, it should be doable. But I knew I couldn't just jump down there and the little six inch ledge was tempting, but again, one slip and I will twist and ankle or worse. I did a whole long hike around (that was scary anyway for me). Please don't encourage the graffitti "artists". Yes, a great hike to watch you do.
At 60 and untrained in ropes...I'll have to pass this one.
All of the Canyon and Grand Canyon was made by the 2nd great flood must have been beautiful giant trees on the land when the flood came it only took 300 years to cut out the Grand Canyon 11,000 bc a comet impact in the Atlantic Ocean
We have a small camper (19 ft). can something like this be pulled in areas like this??
What accounts for those petrified stumps looking like they were sawn smooth?
Also, kudos to whoever scratched "JB" into the cliff face. Same initials as mine. Now I don't have to do that rappel ...
🌹✌️
Dude you’re site is so fun too watch for older explorers with bad knees, you’re fishing channel makes me feel so incompetent thank you very much.
Wow! This qualifies as an EPIC adventure to me! I am always fascinated by petrified trees, and wonder about their history. If only they could tell us about their place in history.
Your climbs are always enjoyable to watch and educational as well. Those narrows, tho’…! 😮 You’re right. They were absolutely stunning! How cool to have been at the bottom amongst all that beauty. I especially liked the light on the water reflecting and dancing on the wall of the narrows. Delightful! What a day you had. I’ll bet you slept well that night! 😁 Thanks for all the work you put into this one. Extremely enjoyable!
Yep, I slept great! Thanks for watching 😁
Always a great adventure Tristan you are the hardest working man on TH-cam. Thank you for all of your hard work, your videos make my day.
I have watched many of your videos and all are spectacular but this one encouraged me to write and thank you for sharing many special places. I appreciate your filming to allow others to see the grandeur of our country. Always look forward to viewing your adventures. Thank you so very much, greetings from Kentucky.
Awesome adventure and you captured it beautifully. Those narrows were spectacular! Thanks for sharing with those of us without your climbing expertise who wouldn't be able to see it in person.
I am not exaggerating when I say that I don't stop smiling when I'm watching one of your videos. It's just so obvious that you are having fun & I have the privilege of sharing the experiences with you through your video craftsmanship. Happy Canyon was definitely a happy experience for me!
I loved watching every minute of this adventure! The red rocks and canyons of Utah are spectacular. Loved the different cameras you used. Those of us who aren't able to do these hikes any more love watching your adventures. Thanks.
Wow... what a spectacular adventure!!! Thanks for taking me along. The camera work is outstanding.
I'm sitting in a office chair and my wife is in a recliner, we are both worn out by just watching you. Thanks for the adventure!
True so true , me too worn out just watching . He is a ball of fire , reminds me of me.
Very stunning narrows😊the boulders and logs stuck above are impressive. Makes one think about how they got there. The quantity of water that was once there. Thank you for sharing with us. We could never see this without you. Awesome views. Thanks again😊
Amazing hike! So glad you made it back in one piece, that was pretty intense. What a beautiful and hidden gem. Thanks for taking us along. I can say I repelled down into a canyon vicariously through you, lol. Love your vlogs! Keep ‘em coming. 😊
Loved the reflective light on the narrows wall coming off the water behind you, while talking... Kinda mesmerizing. The whole hike and climb was totally epic!! Thanks!!
Fantastic episode Tristan! I really appreciate the effort you put into this one. The filming as well as the narration was top notch. You may have equals but none that I have watched are better than this one.
Blessed to have a real pro like you take us on an adventure. All The Best! jim
WOOOW!! This is one of the most beautiful places I've seen! Your videography is wonderful! Thank you SO MUCH for going here, and making this video. I'm so thankful for people like you, and TH-cam, so I can see places I would never be able to see, and would never know about otherwise! ✌️❤️
Tristan, such a great hike report !!!🤩 And absolutely stunning views!!!❤ Thanks so much. Cheers 🍻 from Germany, Felix 🙋
The Dirty Devil River was named by famed explorer John Wesley Powell, as a comment on how disappointed he was not to find it full of clean water suitable for drinking. So was Bright Angel Creek, to express the exact opposite sentiment.
I’ve said this before, but if you ever write another book, it should be called, ‘What a Place…’
That's one killer hike! Amazing scenery.
This was one of my favorite videos, Tristan. Spectacular scenery!. Of all the videos I've watched, this is the only one I can remember where you ended up exhausted and breathing hard. Good for you, man! My favorite part was at the end of Happy Canyon where you relayed your stats; the shimmering reflection of water on the canyon wall over your right shoulder perfectly punctuated the midpoint of the hike.
That was an amazing adventure and another beautiful section of Utah. I know you are a skilled climber, still I keep telling myself I wouldn't be watching this video if things didn't go well. Sorry I guess its just the mom in me. Thank you so much for a great video. ❤
Question; How did the Petrified Log get cut into small sections?! Was it done by the Uranium Miners of the 50's or did nature somehow cut them?!? Seems like an obvious mystery but perhaps someone knows the answer ?
fantastic area,thanks for the adventure love your hikes cause I'm not able to do it. safe travels ❤
Thanks Tristan, that was one of the best adventure hikes I've seen on Utube. You should always ensure that you have sufficient water/electrolites and regular healthy snacks with you to bolster your energy levels on such a strenuous day.
Truly captivating episode. The scenery was ringing some bells and I had to go back and look at my own footage and mapping, but having spent maybe all of 7 or 8 days in all of Utah in my entire life, I have actually been here. I mean, I didn't do that hike of course, and didn't get into those narrows, but I camped on the rim of the larger canyon just above the airstrip (which I didn't even realize was there until watching this) and drove the Poison Springs road. Visiting this canyon from above and below was the absolute highlight of my Utah adventures, and it was awesome to see it again like this - and to see the hidden gems I missed by not hiking about. 😄
Tristan, Always great fun watching your video's!
I always enjoy the fact that along with the views
It is having convadence that you always know what your talking about!
That makes it more of a pleasure to enjoy your video's! :) and I should explain how you take everything you do in your video's to mention everything you are doing to make your video's!
Like st the end how you had to ration your water!
Yes, that envolve's your
Energy level! And a lack
Of sleep! I should say also taking in consideration when you
Ate last! I am sure you probably worked off what calories you had for
Breakfast!
Thank you for giving such
Complete description's
Of your entire experience
In each video!!! :)
Always enjoy your videos. Beautiful views of the canyon and the narrows. Thanks for your efforts to show us another great adventure.
That is the coolest place you've taken us yet. Great physical effort, done topnotch video along the route. Good work in all the technical parts. Narrative and explanations on point. Good tips and advice. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. My wife and I love that area of Utah. Peace, Out.
Wow is an understatement! You are definitely part mountain goat. Enjoyed the hike through the canyon.
Burr Point! I’m familiar with that area. I love how you go to these wonderful areas that most people don’t know about. When I was a Park Ranger at Arches NP, we were always headed to these quiet places on our days off. Tristan, you would have made an amazing Ranger!
Thank you for taking me along on this amazing adventure. I’ve known about Happy Canyon but wasn’t able to get there in my younger days. It was fun going along with you. An awesome adventure! 😀👍
Wow! I'm impressed
A real treasure. Thank you for sharing.
