- Join me for my first Spring Adventure of 2021 out West in Moab Utah. My camp is right on the Colorado River with towering red walls. I hike a beautiful canyon on day two and on day 3 visit Dead Horse Point. This trip was a great launch of my Spring adventures with gorgeous Spring weather to boot! Come along!

Photographers chase the shot. NOMADS live the shot. Exquisite. Tis the season!
Love my Sunday mornings with Catherine! 😊
It's videos like these that make me wish the world will continue to be beautiful like this 100 years from now.
We need to think seven generations ahead, not just one. This is why we fail.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism 100yrs is 5 generations, if they reproduce at 20yrs old
It’s Sunday morning sipping on a fresh cup of coffee by the Colorado River, I feel I’m there. As always your presentation is “Magnifique”. To the masses Moab is a playground. Folks just don’t take the time to appreciate the natural beauty “it” presents. This video is definitely a keeper.
Thank you Catherine for sharing!
I'm just blown away just to see the beauty of these places. Many thanks for letting us hitch a ride with you.
"The drive is part of the adventure" - I totally agree.
Spontaneity - Best part of any trip - We call it "Playing it by ear".
9:38 - Gorgeous!
A hike, a nap, steak and sprouts...Best day ever!!
😄😄
Gorgeous campsite and hike! Just wondering- don’t your feet get cold snd wet with the stream crossings? You always seem to just march right through them! Glad you are back out enjoying Utah
Beware of unusual coyote activity in that area! They have been seen ,
Carrying large boxes marked Acme,
Dropping anvils from hot air balloons,
Offering free bird seed,
And launching themselves from giant crossbows!
Another stunning video Cat! Just magnificent!🏜⛰🏜🌵🌵
I did actually laugh out loud! 😁
LMAO, thank you, Lance.
I had to think about that for a few minutes....🤔😂😂
killin me homes!!!!
Memories of Saturday mornings when I was a child...
What a beautiful scene to wake up to. The shot where you're looking through the door of your rig at the bluffs. Stunning. I'm still amazed at the grandeur of this great land of ours.
Sunset/sunrise is amazing in Moab and all over the world. But, in Moab, those red rocks just POP!
The opening shots were just amazing🤩🤩, as you said just incredible. I can’t imagine the amount of work you put into your videos but the results are always stunning thank 🙏you so much for sharing, look forward to the next video. Stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Great Eternal Artist shows some of His breathtaking architecture in Moab. Love these travelogues, Catherine, and keep on truckin'!
Ya how can anyone see the awesome beauty of creation and not understand that the almighty God created it.
That's just plain ridiculous
Beautiful woman, beautiful living.
Most beautiful woman
Good morning, Catherine! I think you have convinced me to move to St. George. It's so incredibly beautiful there. I used to drive 18-wheelers out of Salt Lake City and deliver food products throughout the Southwest and to San Antonio. St. George was my favorite breakfast stop. When you stood on the rock overlooking Dead Horse Point and spread your "wings" it reminded of the same feeling I experienced on that rock years ago...the magic and the majesty of the incredible view of wild nature. You shared it with your wonderful photography skills but there's nothing like actually being there to experience it with all of your senses. If you stand there, take it all in you cannot help but spread your wings and for a silly moment you feel like you could fly. Thank you for sharing!
Moab is a special place...my heaven on earth. It embraces my soul like no other place.
I’ve only traveled to Moab once, and that was with my parents and my husband. It was beautiful beyond words. Since then, all 3 of them have gone to Heaven and it brings such a lump in my throat to see pictures and videos of that area, even though I love it. I suppose that’s normal. Does anyone else experience these feelings?
❤️🙏❤️
💜landscapes bring me much emotion. Your personal connection is very deep. 💜
Yes....
Without a doubt, just as a piece of music or a certain smell might do. I’m sorry for your loss.
Memories are what the journey is all about!! Things. sights you see may not be what others see. It's a personal experience that connects to the soul, deep down inside.
Catherine, wonderful cinematography as always. Thank you for taking us with you and what a lovely start to spring!!
Love Moab and the surrounding areas. My son and I did a couple day kayak trip down the Colorado River and to look up from the bottom of Dead Horse Point is just as amazing as looking down. You never know how small you really are until your in areas as vast as where you were at. Stunning scenery and video.
If those rock walls could talk...
Greetings! In 1986, I decided to do a solo trip thru all of the 5 Parks in Utah. To say it felt like another world is an understatement: it was more like several different worlds, all equally amazing in different ways! My favorites? Bryce Canyon, Zion, Canyonlands, Arches and Capitol Reef, in that order! Throw in Cedar Breaks National Monument, and Canyon De Chelly NM as a side trip on the way back to Flagstaff, and I don't think I've ever had a more awe-inspiring glimpse of Mother Natures' handiwork!!! (Except, of course, for The Grand Canyon, but that's a one-off!). Hope you have an incredible trip and see as much as possible! You inspire us all!!!!!
Yeah, Cedar Breaks and Canyon de Chelly are nice drop off points, well worth the time.
Who's the one who voted down? Catherine's Ex? LOL Catherine, thank you SO MUCH for bringing Moab back to my memory. I miss it so very much.
There are sad people out there that exist solely to dislike wonderful videos...sad,really ....😕
@@rayjohn8689 My grandma would say , those people would complain if they were hung with a new rope
And yet they still watch. :)
Not only does the scenery give me goose bump but also the music !!!! Thanks again as always !!! God Bless !!!
Beautiful job, Catherine. One of my favorite areas on the world. I’m based in Durango area for half the year just for the incredible variety of topography from the Rocky Mountains to the red rock country of AZ and UT. Its a blast to fly over to Monument Valley and get down low weaving between the tall buttes, then continue north over Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point to Moab and Arches, then back to Durango along the LaPlata’s. The scenery is just mind blowing. I love exploring this part of the USA. 👍🇺🇸
Great video! I was at Moab and Dead Horse Point years ago and it is just marvelous! Nature is so cool! I love the sound of the flowing water too. Water is life! Thanks again for the great scenery. I can't get enough of it. I went hiking yesterday here in Florida and I was hiking along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River under the shade of the trees enjoying the first day of spring!
I must say this is one of your greatest accomplishments so far. Thomas Kinkade is called the painter of light- you are undoubtedly the *photographer* of light. Combined with the superb music, I got the mist in my eyes, the pressure in my chest, and the lump in my throat again. What a beautiful way to start the week!
Thank you so much 😀
God Bless “You” for bring these amazing sights and sounds to us. This video may be your very best or at least near the top. The colors and contrast were spellbinding. The peace and tranquillity traverses the camera lens. Your shots were perfectly frame. With vision failing, oh what a sight to see. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
...Quiet....no modern "noise".... only natural sounds.... Beautiful surroundings.... You find the most amazing places!!!! :)
🙏❤️🙏
You don't just take pictures/video of various places. You capture the essence and beauty of every place you film. Beautiful videos!
Greeting's Catherine .. I have you with my coffee every morning ... I call it stress free traveling in nature. Thank you so much love ! Your a very brave young woman and a shero ... of mine.
Superb..If I had that campsite..I would stay for days. Lovely 😍 Thank you 😊
You work with a camera is just the best, breathtaking
Today being my birthday I'll accept this video as my present. Thanks very much for sharing. Beautiful as usual.
Happy Birthday Charles!
The view from Dead Horse Point is just spectacular. I was lucky enough to work in the visitors center there back in 1974. I was just 19 years old. What an incredible summer job that was.
Indescribable breath taking beauty. The best RX for anything that may ail you. Your video's Catherine bring rest for the body and soul. Many thanks .
What more could you ask for. Beautiful scenery and wildlife, nice hiking, and bacon and eggs. I'm there. Did you say steak and a nap?! I think I'm dreaming this.
Yes and yes 😂😂😂
Moab is such a fun and beautiful place to be! Lots of adventure there. I rafted the Colorado from Moab 2017. Gorgeous! I enjoyed Canyonlands, Arches, etc. And you’re pretty close to Mesa Verde, if you enjoy indigenous history and landscape beauty; worth the short ride. Best wishes on your adventures, Catherine! Safe travels! 🙋🏻♀️
Yup, Mesa Verde is OUT there, as well. lovely drive out there!
Thanks Catherine, I had to watch this one on the big screen.
That was absolutely beautiful. I'm trying not to binge watch all your videos. Its nice to have them to look forward to but you make it difficult. Really, really nice job!
♥️! This belongs in a “Best of ...” category! I hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick’s day! Thanks again for what you provide us!
Thank you so much!
Hello Cat, 😊 what a awesome scenery you shows us in that video 🏜 and tasty meals 🤤 Moab/ Utah is on our ‚to do list‘ in life. 👌🙏🍀thanks a lot, take care on the road 🌷
Hope you make it to Moab. Thank you Hartmut!
You have a fantastic eye for the most beautiful views everywhere you go. Thanks for taking us along
13:45: " ... today we're gonna' take a little drive - I'm not exactly sure where yet - but I'm gonna' take you with me ...."
The background mountains are just gorgeous and majestic. When I saw them in front of me when I visited America, I was amazed it’s beauty.
WOW! These views... doesn’t get any better than that, does it. And, a totally scrumptious steak dinner! If this is camp food, I’m in ! 😄👍 thank you for showing us another amazing adventure. Enjoy.
Thank you, Catherine. Thank you for all the beauty. 🙏🏼💕
Great videography and composition, nothing sweeter than morning sun to highlight the texture of the rocks. Well done Catherine.
Thanks for this video. You have done a fine job of capturing the staggering beauty of the lands around Moab. The music is lovely.
Again, thank you for this video.
😎💙💛💙💛💙💛
Who would NOT love ❤ doing what you are doing? A.....freaking....mazing content. Thank you for sharing!!!! Love my Sat morning road trips with Catherine.
Thank you so much!
Catherine...
Good morning beautiful. How are you?? I couldn't agree with you more. The drive is a big part of the adventure for me as well.
I'm watching this video while outside this morning. I'm at Saylorville Lake watching the birds. The migration is in full swing right now. The white pelicans are starting to arrive. I've counted eleven species of ducks so far this morning. And believe it or not. We even get a few different species of gulls here in Iowa. Not to mention the song birds are filling the trees along the lake shore. Beautiful!!!
How do you like Moab?? I was last there in '91. Took my '88 Chevette on several of the jeep trails. I still remember the looks of disbelief from people in their four wheel drive trucks when they would top some of those hills and I was sitting there in my little car. Priceless.
Well I'm going to head back up the bank to my truck now. I'm going to make my famous banana bread French toast for breakfast when I get back home. I recieved some new coffees last week I'm anxious to try as well. They smell so good. And yes, I grind my own beans.
Safe travels sweetheart. Looking forward to seeing where your headed to next. Love you.
Randy in Des Moines. 👍❤✌
Thank you Randy. I love Moab! Have a great day.
I used to get to places in my VW bus and Beetle that the 4-wheelers couldn't get to!
I'm originally from Iowa- then Wyoming, Oregon, Minnesota, California.
Thanks for having us along.
Your videos have become my favorite way to enjoy my Sunday morning coffee before getting the day started!
Yay! Thank you!
Got very very awesome pictures I look forward to visiting that when I get my equipment done and ready to travel Have a super great day thank you for sharing
Thanks so much Rene.
I would like to say that your photography and videos are breathtaking and totally enhanced by the music you choose. The sound of the running water and the colors and how you catch the sunlight, sunrises and sunsets are perfect. I enjoy walking with you on your hikes and make me hungry with the meals you prepare. I have the same desire to travel and see this beautiful country and I hope to start soon. I though will be riding a motorcycle and splitting my time between motocamping and motels. I look forward to your next video so stay safe and continue to love life.
What a magnificent part of the country is Southern Utah, especially Moab. Back in 2013 I took my Toronto friend who was visiting me in Calgary and we drove for 22 hrs. We departed Calgary at 4 am arriving to our Moab Airb&b at 2:30 am to tour all the national and state parks in Southern Utah. I am sure if we had driven straight through we could have made it there in half the time but as photographers we took our time and we would stop wherever we pleased ... as you say, it's all part of the adventure and this one certainly was. Your adventure brought back many wonderful memories. Wishing you safe travels.
I've been everywhere with TH-cam ! 🇫🇮🇺🇸🤯
I totally agree. What a great platform and learning/teaching tool.
Like always, beautiful pictures, wonderful music and expertly done . My husband and I were there about four years ago and it took my breath away so many beautiful places that God has created on this earth, would love to go back and do some hiking. Thank you for taking me along with you ,loved it.
The music, the scenery, is just as beautiful as my California dream.
Great job. My blood pressure is high, and your video are becoming my special place to chill and calm my self.
Thank you
I was born there several decades ago. As my father used to say, those rocks talk to me.
Love Moab! We spent three weeks exploring there several years ago and can’t wait to go back. We tent camped on BLM land along the Colorado river for two of those weeks. Even though it was 110 degrees out, the River water was FREEZING COLD! The only dislike I had was every afternoon the wind came through the canyon and blew our tent over. It ROARED like a freight train! We got used to sitting in our vehicle while it blew. Then cleaning up the sand all through the tent, sleeping bags and clothes.
Great cinematography and music score. For a few minutes I was back off of UT 128 enjoying the presence of those canyon walls. I usually spend a week in the spring in Moab. There is a magic about the La Sals and that red rock that is in my blood. ¡Gracias amiga!
My wife and I spent 2 summers in Moab working at an rv resort. We hiked
over 1100 miles in over 13 months both before work and on our days off. Probably the best hiking we have done in the past 10 years. We have hiked all over Utah and Arizona, but, Moab is still our favorite .
Thank you Catherine for taking us on this journey with you to Moab. It was really beautiful there. The drive you took to the Dead Horse place that awesome as well. Beautiful scenery. Saw the big Horn sheep. Glad you enjoyed us on the trip with you. See you next week. Have a great week.
Thanks so much for taking us along for your Red Rock Zen
That music you used in the first 6 1/2 minutes was awesome. That epic movie music really fit the gorgeous landscapes.
The drive is part of the adventure Catherine. I also love to explore and find new places to hike. As usual a great way to start a Sunday morning is with your video. Looks amazing, take care.
Beautiful Catherine!!! Every state has it's unique features and qualities but Utah, scenic wise, has some of the most bang for the buck while driving and exploring. Another great video!
Hi Catherine😊😊, this video was OUTSTANDING! I really enjoyed riding with you to Moab and driving through the San Rafael Reef. I have also been to Moab several times and it never gets old. The hike was very SPECTACULAR amongst those red rock walls and flowing streams. Dead Horse Point is one of my favorite State Park's with that awesome view. You had a really nice BLM spot right next to the Colorado River and I know those sunrises and sunsets are just SPECTACULAR amongst the beautiful colors along the Colorado River. I really enjoyed this video, Catherine😊😊👍👍. I'm looking forward to your next adventure.
Your vids bring me such peace, joy and inspiration! Many thanks.
You do such a wonderful job of capturing the beauty of this area in your videos! Thank you.
Dead Horse SP is awesome... I'm really glad that someone told me about it. Fittingly, it was a chair lift conversation on Park City's Tombstone lift during a blizzard.
Dead Horse Point is a hidden gem! Beautiful video, as always!
You make the world a better place!!
Thanks Cat for your beautiful videos. The Moab area is indeed beautiful however that pales in comparison to what was once the native Glen Canyon. We passed through Moab on our drive to Hite for a last float down the Colorado River in 1963 as THAT DAM pooled up, natures true beauty, lost forever. Moab then was a dusty wide spot in the road. The gas station did however have a outdoor slide top Coke machine.
"Today I am going to take a little drive....I haven't decided where yet...but I'm going to take you with me." Otherwise known as "Freedom." :)
😄😄
9:45 What a beautiful little cove.
Full-timers here. We head to south of Moab, Needles Outpost, April 6th, 2021. Been there before. Its stunning !!! After boonbocking, we head north to Satatoga, WY. very cool little town with hot springs. YAYEEEEEE 🧡 Take care, be safe.
Thank you for taking us along.
💖 Moab and all the surrounding area!
What an AWESOME start to Spring Catherine... I Love your SPIRIT So Much.... thank you, Gary from Snow Canyon, Utah
Beautiful Catherine... Thank you!
It take courage to live this lifestyle let alone document the journey. Beautiful place thanks Cat, let me know when you want to surf sano. Being spontaneous keeps the Curiosity and creativity alive.
So yes the true meaning of over landing is it’s the journey not the destination but Moab is right up there with number one for me. Glad you had a good trip to Moab and some good weather. Hope you have a great time there. As always beautiful cinematography and story thanks for sharing. So I spent Saturday morning winching my way out of the hills around Mammoth in a snowstorm I didn’t see coming Part of the journey LOL
Happy trails
I got stuck in the sand at my camp at Lake Mead, NV. Luckily a kind subscriber noticed my plight and rescued the day,
It’s The great people you meet along the way that add to the journey. Glad you got out. Like they say if you don’t get stuck you’re not Trying hard enough. LOL
Morning Glory was beautiful and the canyon was great in that back lit contrast. Your videos are getting more Sophisticated, I could smell that stake. Curious geology. Lovely
So BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing this with us. I have not been to Moab in 22 years. I miss it Thanks you
Good to see you back, and tour videos are getting better all the time, girl. I still have 21 days to go, but am looking forward to seeing with my own eyes all those beautifully sculptured landscapes you've been showing me for the past year. Moab is on my list of places to visit and to shoot. After 50 yrs. I wonder how much it has changed. Never stop exploring your world.
We just got another dusting of snow here in Northern Nevada last night. Winter is hanging on tight.
I live in SC but Two years ago camped in Utah for a month. What a contrast from what I am used to. Saw the mighty five and much more. Nice video.
Thank you for taking the time and care that you obviously do to put together these beautiful videos. This one is especially meaningful for me - my family (2 young boys at the time and my wife) would take camping trips to the Moab area each spring and fall. We usually camped south of Moab on BLM land until it became very crowded and restricted in terms of where you were able to camp. But it's a wonderful base to use to explore the area. Arches National Park, Canyonlands (including The Needles), La Salle Mountains, the Colorado River, and much more are all fairly close by.
Though it's been years since I've been back, my now-grown sons continue to visit the area with their families and soak in the beauty and make their own memories. Thanks again for sharing your visit to this treasured area.
Starting the day off with bacon and hitting a beautiful hike in Moab.....that is a proper day. Thanks so much for the vids and hope all is good.
Thanks to you, Moab is now on my bucket list. Beautiful shots especially on your hike and thanks so much for including the many sounds of the running water along the way. Looking forward to your next adventure ....
I looove that area. One of the best vacations we've had was in the Moab area 2 years ago. We bought a booklet in the bookstore that gave driving directions and information about many ancient petroglyphs and petrographs in the area. That was really a highlight. I recommend that to future travelers. Online resources abound on this. Stunning images, as usual, Catherine. Thank you!
Looks so peaceful and relaxing of a lifestyle.
Loving the new ‘mystery destination’ Catherine...! 😊
I live vicariously through your eyes. Totally envious here. Great videos.
Be shire to take in Highway 12! A spectacular Utah drive. Love you cinematography .
Hello again.you said it so correctly,an incredible view.your video work shows how much you are enjoying the journey. Thank you
I'm really glad you are enjoying yourself so much
Thank you for sharing this incredible journey with breath taking views ! I really enjoyed the musical background emphasizing the magnificent scenery !!
Good morning and thank you for sharing another amazing video capturing so much beauty and wonder! I was so happy to see where you went--- my husband and daughter and I enjoyed the same awesome "home" along the Colorado River a couple of years ago. We also changed sites when a better one opened up.😄 Like you, we took in Morning Glory Arch one morning as the sun came up. Dead Horse Point was beyond words and deserving of being a National Park. All of that southern Utah area, whether on the highways, watching a video, or experiencing first hand on a trail, is just a wonder and almost humbling to take in. Your beautiful video artistry really brings it to life! Thank you, Cat!
Thank you so much Janet 🙏❤️!
Thank you again for taking us along. My wife and I were at Moab for five days this past fall
I came across Moab a few years ago while wandering across the internet; it's something about the name itself that makes me want to visit; now that I see this, the desire to visit has increased even more. I've added Moab to my notes.
Beautiful views all around and lovely that you take time to show us your Journeys in such detail,by foot in the car and with the Camera.
