    I spent 14 days driving down from my hometown of British Columbia, Canada to visit the vast dessert landscapes of Utah. My mind was blown to say the least. I highly recommend a solo trip to the dessert in the winter.

    I think it would be so cool if you put a mini GoPro on Kyra for one of these adventures to see what he finds when he goes exploring!
    Love these videos, really inspiring :)

    At a certain age, with a certain amount of freedom, and a certain amount of adventurous spirit--all of which you possess--such an experience opens one's eyes to the unimagined wonders of the world beyond one's realm of experience. It is intoxicating, transformational, addicting, overwhelming, inexpressible. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey of wonder.

    Fellow Canadian (Ont.) here. Just came across your channel. I’m retired so I can go backcountry canoeing when I want but you and my daughter are kindred spirits. She keeps her camping gear in her vehicle so she can go camping at will with her dog. She also joins me on my canoe trips when her work allows. So great to see an articulate young lady producing these videos, living the dream and being a role model for others. Keep it up. 👍

    I literally did the same thing. I drove from Oregon. I have been exploring southern Utah and the four corners area for over a month now. Such an amazing and beautiful place. Arches, Canyonlands, La Sal mountains, Valley of the gods, Monument valley the list goes on and on. Mind blowing beauty.

      Make sure to stop by the North rim of the Grand canyon. It's by far the best part of the whole park. Unvisited and beautiful

    I love the west. Being from the east side of the states I don't get to see it that much, but really want to get back out there. For camping I've started sleeping in the bed of my Tacoma. I bought a cap and use a light weight tarp to keep rain water out, and use a mosquito net to keep the bugs out. I love your sense of adventure, and your confidence to go out and do these things on your own. Good for you!!
