    re: "I can't get over it." 7:20 - Kelly, the scenery and footage truly inspire awe. It's a testament to the incredible artistry of the Creator. The Appalachian Trail's magnificence finds a match in this breathtaking territory. Both are unparalleled wonders, and we are truly privileged to witness God's masterful handiwork. I hope that many more people have the blessing of experiencing this video. Thank you! Steve ❤

    @charlesb4267 2 роки тому +1

    That is almost 20 years ago when I drove to the end of the road in Zion as it was the end of January and hardly anyone in the park and the shuttles don't run that time of year or didn't then anyway. I had very little idea about the park and who had recommended I see it never mentioned Angels landing as he obviously had never hiked it but his comment was that it was just gorgeous during the fall when the leaves had changed color but of course when I was there the leaves were long gone. I hiked to the end of the trail portion of the narrows where it became river and no one was going up it as it was ice on water and looked dangerous, even the easy walk was sketchy as it was covered in ice. No doubt angels landing would have been pretty dangerous that time of the year if not certain death. You gave us some fantastic video Kelly and you managed not to fall off the cliffs, getting wrapped up in taking video sure could cause a big oops !.

    My buddy and I used to come here for a week every September back in the 1970's...we would hike a different trail each year and go up into the backcountry on the top of the rim and campout for a few days...it was a magical place...we hardly saw anybody...no permits needed...don't recall any railings either....I remember hiking up the old trail to Observation point one year with a 60lb pack for a 5 day camp on the top and it was epically beautiful but hard work...times have sure changed in the last 40-50 years...what a beautiful place it still is though...just an old man remembering stuff from when he was a young man...selah

    I totally did Angels Landing in 2014 when you didn't need a permit. But because its become so popular because of influencers like you, times have changed.
    Your gonna love Brice Canyon.
    Your not to far from Arches national park. You should totally do that one for sure and Canyon Lands. I highly recommend you stay at Moab. Its a nice little touristy town. When your in Moab I also highly recommend you go on a ATV tour. You'll not regret it. Oh yeah and there's a brewery in town that you'll like.

    Wow, awesome trip! So beautiful, too bad there were so many people. Oh, those Arctic air's only work when you freeze the filter and if it's warm they only work for about 4 minutes. They are just an over priced sketchy fan at best. We bought 2 and ended up giving them to good will. Looking forward to Brice canyon :) Have fun.

    Incredible hike! You’re the second UA-cam channel that I’ve seen today that hiked the narrows. KYD was there too. Think they did an almost 10 hr hike. Try putting cold water in the arctic air if you can’t put the sponge thingie in the freezer. I never put mine in the freezer but cold water makes it work great.

    Hi Kelly, I followed your entire AT experience and the PCT, too. The AT was remarkable, I'd update people with your journey with excitement, usually something like this, "She was hiking in rain all day! She slept in rain." " "She nailed 25 miles and ate a gallon of ice cream!" People would say, yes slow down breathe, to me. So anyway thanks for sharing all of it.
