It makes me happy to see Adam's love for photographing flowers. That is the epitome of stopping to take the time to smell the roses (or wildflowers in this case).
Haha that is well said! And it's funny because I'm not at all a manicured flower-bed kind of guy, but desert wildflowers really get to me. Something about their beauty combined with their will to survive, and of course the fact that so few people get to see them. --A
@@LiveHardxLoveHard that is what makes your affection for them more endearing because you don't strike me as flower garden type of guy, but the ones out in nature grab your attention. I'm the same way
Almost drowned in the last ‘teacup’ slot. Don’t go down after a rainstorm. Beware
@@seananderson5450 That's good advice, Sean. And even if you go when it hasn't rained in a long time, still a good idea to bring a rope like we did just in case there are hidden currents in your teacup of choice that you can't see by looking.
Your positive attitudes and playfulness are so contagious. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you! This was one of our favorite hidden gem discoveries of the year -- very glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
You both have unbelievable coordination, fitness, and bravery! Love your videos!
Thanks so much, Jeanette! That is very kind of you to say, and lovely to hear. Really delighted you are loving the videos! ❤️
Once again couldn’t stop smiling the whole video! What a beautiful hike, what the water, snow and ice have carved out in the granite just so you guys could run and play in the water and falls! How many years did it take to make those formations so smooth and such a perfect playground! Thanks for such an amazing video and love the singing too! Yippeee! Life is fun!! Much happiness in your new home in the Sierra💗
Thanks so much, Mary! We both agree with you that part of the wonder of these places is thinking about the millions of years it took to form them. That is a big part of what makes them so entrancing and enthralling to us -- like we're surfing on the wave of geology! ❤️
I just find it hard to believe something like that exists in the California desert - truly amazing and thank you for sharing
Us too, Rick! We are constantly amazed when we find these heavy flowing waterfalls in places that just don't seem to make sense. It's so much fun. ❤️
What an incredible place.. I never heard of it till now.
Thanks for the Trek..
So happy to share it with you! One of our biggest joys is finding hidden gems like this, especially ones with seasonal waterfalls, and lucky for us the western U.S. is full of them! ❤️
Your commitment to safety AND beauty is.......beautiful.
Thanks Steve -- ya we were not trying to get swept over that big waterfall! Highly recommend the teacups. It was pretty mind-blowing to see them in person. ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard hi guy if you still up there in lake Isabella I have another secret spot if you want to check out,they’re call Natural Water Slide above 7 teacups 💪💪💪🙏
@@ignacioaventurasepicas4002 Oh my gosh we're already on the other side of the Sierra in Bishop, but you know we gotta check out this Natural Water Slide next time we're at the Kern -- that sounds freaking awesome!! ❤
That looks like so much fun! You two are living the good life, for sure. 😁
Thanks guys! This one really was pure fun -- no danger, no suffering, just total joy. And now that we've started full time nomad travel, we're hoping to find a lot more such places throughout this beautiful country! ❤️
Amazing! Looks like a water park ride in the middle of the forest. Nice music, especially for the butterfly. Thanks for sharing!
Bob did you see the comment with the story about kayakers riding the teacups? Apparently some people take your water park ride idea literally! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Just saw it, Adam.
Hey guys, I have never heard of that place before. It's magical! The scenery on the hike out was really different than one expects for the Sequoias, but so beautiful. I loved going under the waterfall. Thanks for the video! I hope you are getting settled into your new lifestyle.
Thanks David! Yes it's really hard to believe that just a week ago we were all climbing up Baldy together, and now we're posted up in Bishop just loving mountain life! So far it's going great, and hopefully we're acclimating well for our impending attempt on Mt. Russell! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Woah, Mt. Russell is a good one! I have never been, but have looked into it. Class 3 with a knife edge near the summit I think, and a never ending slog up a scree slope! Sufferfest time!
That looks like the best one yet, although all the waterfalls have been gorgeous - I love the cup effect and the different water flows between them.
Yes Catherine, we felt the same -- it was so unique to see all that swirling water in the teacups, and of course to have the opportunity to get into it as well. It was one of our favorite waterfall hikes in a long time -- so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Another great waterfall adventure! And showed a lot of respect for moving water, which was awesome. Stay safe guys!
Thanks Colby, we will! We're all about thinking safe right now, because we have Mt. Russell coming up soon!! ❤️
My girlfriend and I enjoy your videos immensely. I'm a healthy 56 and have done some great hikes and have improved at extended backcountry. Ditching the cross has become difficult, but possible. Good to know what exists tho, while I' still here to enjoy it all.
Michael that makes us so happy to hear -- love that you guys both watch the videos, and are inspired to go out there and get after it. Pretty sure you would both enjoy a long romantic weekend at the Kern River doing this hike and the one we posted last week. Neither is overly difficult, and both are immensely rewarding in terms of beauty and fun! ❤️
You are crazy Elise.. But so awesome to watch and enjoy with you.. Can't get tired of all that beautiful nature... Thanks... 😘👌🥂Have a beautiful weekend.. 🍹
Haha thank you Serge -- I do feel a little crazy when I get around these beautiful lakes and waterfalls! Something in me just wants to leap in, and as you know I often do! You have a great weekend too. ❤️ --E
Always love the different terrain and scenery on your adventures, this was awesome and cheers to you both
Thanks Carl! Yes we really do love variety in our adventures -- very glad that you're enjoying it too! ❤️
Wow! So beautiful place 🤩
Thanks Paco -- so happy to share it with you! ❤️
Really wonderful hike, thanks for sharing it.
So glad you enjoyed it! We were really looking forward to sharing this one with you guys, because it just seemed like such a miracle out there in that hot and desert-like terrain! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard I’ll have to try to get to it next June when we visit again. Stay safe out there this Summer season, Cheers-B
"I have a rope"
Talk about heartwarming words - you would not believe how many people head into the most rugged of terrain without a simple ROPE. ;-)
Haha we would definitely believe it, Russell, because we pretty often end up helping people who are lost with our GPS, or who are stuck somewhere they didn't mean to be with our rope (or else Adam just physically lifting them!). And to be totally honest, we once went on a traverse hike without a rope due to the beta saying it wasn't necessary, and then found out that it would have been necessary for us and had to turn around. We only needed to learn that lesson once! ❤️
wow what a amazing waterfalls it seems everyone you go to is different.
Thanks Geoffrey! Yes we are so blessed here in California with a massive variety of terrain, and it seems there is always a new gem to discover. The peak of waterfall season doesn't last long after the winter rains and snows, but we always try to take full advantage -- so glad you're enjoying! ❤️
Wow we just camped in Sequoia NP last week and we can't wait to go back. This trip is now on our list! Congrats on making it down to the pool that worked the best!
Thanks very much, and very glad to hear you've put the Kern River side of Sequoia on the list! We love all the parts of Sequoia as you can obviously tell from all the videos we make there, but this was our first time in the Kernville area and it definitely won't be the last. ❤️
Incredible adventure as always with you two! ✅
Thanks Jason! This one was pure joy, beginning to end. What an amazing place, and an amazing time of year to be there! ❤️
This was once a “secret spot hike” that most river outfitters on the Forks of the Kern would hike their clients into which I assume they still do. It has also become famous in the extreme kayaking world. There is a story of a NZ kayaker that miscounted the drops and paddled off the last waterfall - free fell and landed upside down between two rocks -one on his stern and the other on the bow. Apparently he survived.
Oh my gosh that is a fantastic story -- thank you for sharing it! We had no idea that kayakers even rode these, but can certainly see how one could get swept over those big falls. Amazing that he survived!! ❤️
It could be the camera angle, but my wife and I were both nervous watching the video starting from 5:13. We're glad to see you both had a blast at the waterfall in the end! Stay safe. : )
Thanks Robert! Yes the slabs are pretty steep in some areas, but fortunately we train regularly climbing on slabs and were able to keep it very safe. If you guys ever want to do this one, approach shoes are a good choice to ensure strong traction on the slabs. ❤️
Hey Guys! Great to see you again, sorry but I've been away from YT for a bit. Such a beautiful landscape that you've brought us! That water looks so awesome, as today's run here on the gulf coast was somewhere around 115 on the heat index. Well, It was kind of a "run". Anyway, good to see you are out adventuring and hope you have some great things planned!!
Hi Dan, it's so great to see you back! Wow that is some crazy heat index action out there -- good for you for getting out for a run! We do have a lot of amazing things planned for this summer, and a couple of super big ones coming up the next two weeks!! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard - Of course you do! Can't wait to see the adventures!
That.was.awesome!
So glad you saw this one! This is for sure our new favorite hike on the Kern River side of Sequoia -- highly recommend it! ❤️
Nature is so amazing, and so are the two of you! Thank you for sharing these amazing parts of the word we have never, and may never see in person - and taking it to the next level to show us the best parts! Love you both, and always praying for your safety and well being.
Thank you so much! We truly love sharing these places with you, and it means a great deal to us to know that we're in your prayers. 🙏❤️
Wow this is an amazing place!!!
Yes! We honestly couldn't quite believe it when we got there. It kind of feels like it comes out of nowhere, and then you're just blown away. ❤️
It is so much fun watching you two, taking us to places we would never see. Thank You !!!!
Mark thank you, that makes us super happy to hear! It's really our pleasure to take you to these places. Increasingly we feel like it's an important calling in our lives, and it gives us a lot of joy. ❤️
What a great video again ... Wondered about the butterfly as we have the same species here in the Bavarian Alps. The waterfalls troughs are just stunning.
I would love to know what kind of butterfly that was if you find out! One of the things I'd like to do in early retirement is spend more time learning about wildflowers, butterflies, and birds so I can tell you guys about them when we film them. ❤️
Love the under waterfall. Great job.
Thanks Ted! One of the funnest things about the channel for me is getting to take you guys to places -- like crazy summits and behind waterfalls -- that I always dreamed of going myself. Such a pleasure to share it with you! --A
Hey Adam and Elise,
I have been watching your videos for a few years now and telling tales of your adventures to my hiking buds on all of my own group hikes - just wanted to say, I truly appreciate your commitment to making these videos and of course to the spectacular journeys you have taken to create them! Your positivity, inspirational levels of fitness, and sweet relationship is all truly a treat to behold. I'm slowly working my way down a similar list of hikes (I live in LA) and always appreciate seeing your take on them - just finished the Big Pine Lakes this past weekend. Thanks again and can't wait to tackle Seven Teacups!
Thank you so much for telling us that -- it really makes our day! Love that you just did Big Pine Lakes. That is an all-time gorgeous hike. And of course, so happy we can contribute some ideas and inspiration to your hiking list. Lots more to come now that we're spending more time up in the Sierra, and we look forward to sharing all those adventures with you! ❤️
❤ GR8 VID ~ LOVED IT ❤ We're up on the west side of Mount Rainier on a raging river .. great to see you guys ❤
Amazing!! It must be absolutely gorgeous up there right now -- we're planning to get up there ourselves in about a month! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard you'll love it .. July & August are definitely the best weather months up in the Pacific Northwest !!!
Another spectacular video, thanks guy, I really enjoy those mountain views!
Thanks Miguel! Lots more mountain views coming up now that we're based in the Sierra!! ❤️
This is the coolest waterfall!!! never heard of it. looks so fun! probably sooooo cold hahah. Thanks for taking us along!! Love youuuuu so stoked for this new phase of adventuring for you both!! 😄🤩
Arielle it's so freaking fun! We're in Bishop right now, just loving the small town vibe and going on fantastic adventures every weekend. Next up will be Tahoe! ❤️
Such a beautiful place! Funny, we have a local road here called Kernsville Road. Adam, you are so brave to jump in there first to find the current 😮!!
It really was an amazing place! Thank you for the compliment, though honestly I felt totally safe and secure once I set up the rope. Even if the current had been stronger, no way I was gonna let go of that rope! --A
This is an amazing video.. 😃
Thanks very much -- even after experiencing it ourselves. we still can't quite believe that this place actually exists! ❤️
Wow, another magical mystery tour into a fairy wonderland, stunning! Adam, plus-one re flowers n butterflies! Elise, excellent splashdown jump form! I do love your inside-waterfall shots. Offhand, I can't remember a waterfall adventure of yours that's delighted me more :) Love to you both! -Liam
Thanks Liam! Really happy you enjoyed this one. It was one of our favorite hikes in a long time -- just so much geological beauty and so much fun! ❤️
One of my friends died near here only a few weeks ago. Don’t underestimate the power of the kern river. I’m glad you guys made it out safely.
Jordan I'm so sorry to hear that, and condolences to you. May your friend rest in peace. I hope you saw in the video that we took no chances at all, even using a rope to check the power of the current before getting in the water just to be certain. We love having fun in waterfalls, but we're not about to take any undue risks for it. ❤️
Wow! Amazing! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
It's our pleasure, Greg! We were so delighted to discover this seasonal gem, and love sharing Cali waterfall season with you guys! ❤️
I love to go, go. go too, but it's more than okay to stop and check out the butterflies. I love the under the waterfall shot!
So glad you enjoyed it! Ya increasingly I'm finding that I enjoy the small little details, things like butterflies and wildflowers, as much as the epic backdrops. We spend so much time in the wild that I'm really starting to feel the extent to which every part of it is connected in a kind of grand tapestry. --A
That cold water looks good! In a heat wave down south.
Oh my gosh we've been reading about that! Hope you're jumping in some rivers and waterfalls yourselves. If it's any consolation, we're up in the Sierra in Bishop right now and it was 108 yesterday. I guess at least it's a "dry heat," but it didn't feel dry with the amount we were sweating out there! ❤️
That sequence of waterfalls at @5:35 wow!
Ya we felt the same way -- we've done adventures all over the world, but never seen anything quite like that before. ❤️
Another awesome waterfall hike! Cool to get behind the waterfall. Always a special experience... also feel glad that I am not the only one who hates giving up vert on the hike where you'd need to gain it back :)
Haha omg Adam hates giving up vertical. This one was okay because it was short, but you should hear him cursing when we're half way into a 26 mile, 10,000 foot day and he has to give up a few hundred feet of vertical 😂
Thank both you for sharing your journey.
It's truly our pleasure! ❤️
What’s the old saying? “OFF THE CHAIN” you guys. Or in this case “ OFF THE ROPE”. You guys are crazy cool. Love these waterfall adventures. Brings out the kid in all of us. I know the effort in filming these is not easy. Just the getting there is an effort. Thanks for sharing especially those giddy smiles the most! Woohoo! 😘 ❤️
Thanks Larry! This has got to be the world's greatest way to cool off during the summer heat wave -- so glad you're enjoying these! ❤️
Hello cups of tea all simply grandiose your blissful is beautiful to see thank you for your sharing see you soon Gerard
Thanks Gerard! It's a great pleasure to us to share these blissful moments with you, and we're so happy that you enjoy them. See you soon! ❤️
Looks great, thanks Adam for showing the "backside of water", to steal a line from the old Disney Jungle Cruise Ride. I thought of Adam as I was eating Pop Tarts on a recent camping trip. Thanks for sharing.
Kim that warms my heart -- I was chomping a pop-tart myself just about 12 hours ago on Mt. Russell! We did it in one day so it wasn't while camping, but I certainly do love them on camping trips as well. What flavor did you go with? --A
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Adam, I generally have gotten the Cherry, I have pan fried them on a camping trip before, but this last trip I had Frosted Chocolate Fudge, but I am not nearly the Pop Tart Connoisseur that you must be. I was bummed that I could not make at least part of your hike to Baldy hopefully you had a good turnout. Take care.
@@kimcozean9066 Turnout was great, and you'll make the next one! And people brought pop tarts!!
ELISE and ADAM hello from France. ADAM what a pleasure to see you marvel at the surrounding nature, immortalizing on video a flowering tree and its butterfly, I love your approach. The first part is accompanied by a sweet melody and ELISE's voice, it's relaxing. Then comes the serious stuff, following the succession of cauldrons with thundering waters, and in a controlled madness specific to you both, the joy of diving and swimming under a lively torrent. Kisses to you both. DAN
ELISE et ADAM un bonjour de France. ADAM quel plaisir de te voir t’émerveiller devant la nature environnante, en immortalisant sur la vidéo un arbre à fleurs et son papillon, j’adore ta démarche. La première partie est accompagnée par une douce mélodie et la voix d’ELISE, c’est reposant. Puis arrivent les choses sérieuses, suivre la succession de chaudrons aux eaux tonitruantes, et dans une folie maitrisée propre à vous deux, la joie du plongeon et de la baignade sous un torrent vivace. Bises à vous deux. DAN
Merci beaucoup, Dan! J'aime les papillons presque autant que les cascades. Mais ce que j'aime le plus, c'est quand Elise chante. Je suis contente que tu les aimais tous aussi! Bisous de nous deux. --A
Great shot under the back of that cascade Adam 💪
☀️
🦋🦋
Thanks John! As a kid I constantly dreamed of going into and behind waterfalls when I would see them, so now whenever I get a chance I always want to take you guys into and/or behind them! --A
loved the torrent of water and the video
So glad you enjoyed it! We certainly had a great time making this one -- just pure fun and pleasure pretty much the whole way, and we wound up playing at that final teacup waterfall for over an hour! ❤️
Fantastic! Off to a great start!
Thanks GW! Just wait til you see the Mammoth lakes we went to yesterday. It was 102 degrees outside and we were swimming in the world's most gorgeous cold reflection pool on 4th of July. Life is sweet! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Brilliant! And that, ladies and gentlemen is how it's done. It's not a dream if you're living it! Ever onward...
Stupendous! And I thought the potholes at Interstate Park on the St. Croix River were large.
We might have to check those St. Croix ones out too, Mark! Ya this just blew us away as a geological formation. Really incredible in person, and definitely one we want to go back to with canyoneering equipment so we can rappel down those lower waterfalls as well! ❤️
Great adventure thanks!
So happy to share it, Steve! What a place!! ❤️
Remember these moments when couple is struggling. Lafe can be the best or the worst.
That is well said, and very true. Thinking about these beautiful times can really keep you afloat when things are hard. ❤️
Fantastic !! 🙂
Thanks Petr! This was a really fun one for us -- glad you liked it! ❤️
Wow. Never been. But I have been to " siete tazas" near Curico 🇨🇱 Chile. Looks very similiar, hence the same name.
That is great to know! We haven't had a chance to explore South America much yet, but are planning to start doing that this winter! Would love to know of any other great summits, waterfall hikes, etc. if you know of them! ❤️
I have never heard of this hidden natural wonder.
Ya it's not well known, but during waterfall season before things dry up it is an absolute classic! ❤️
Past Kernville on Sherman Pass Road. The east side there is a Cascades. Big twin waterfall. It's steep down to bottom of both off road. Kernville to 100 giants.
The best one to swim is Rainbow 🌈 Falls. Deviks Postpile. Low water flow.
We're in Bishop now, Dan, and thinking about going to Rainbow falls in the next week or two! ❤️
Maybe carry a light climbing harness on these outting.🤔8mm line to .still a wonderful water fall.i wish i was there.🤙
Yes David that's actually a good idea -- just one of those ultra-light harnesses to pair with Adam's all-purpose light rope. Wish you were there too -- it was absolutely incredible in person! ❤️
The teacups remind me of the 7 Sacred Pools off the Soldiers Pass trail in Sedona, but there is a lot more water here. You can't really do much with the Sedona ones except look at them.
How did we not know about these pools?! Ok, next time we're in Sedona -- likely this winter -- we gotta find a way to get into those pools! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard well it is a very easy trail to get to the "pools," but they are more accurately puddles. You can't jump in them or anything. It's just 7 small little pools that cascade down. They are nowhere near as impressive as the teacups. But you do get to see a cool formation called the Devil's Kitchen along the way and since it's Sedona, the trails just go on forever with all of the spurs so you can make the hike as long or as short as you want. My wife and I will be there in the winter as well! Sedona is awesome in November.
@@prowrestlingisart6742 Fantastic! If it's ok, we will reach out to you before we come for any inside info you have on cool hikes and stuff to do.
@@LiveHardxLoveHard oh it would be my pleasure! I would love to offer recommendations! Just let me know!
What a place! I'd have been seriously worried about the current with those pools. Some of the places in Yosemite above the falls look placid and safe, but end up carrying people over the edge with their unseen force. Did you find a hotel with a HOT tub after all this? :D
That's exactly what we were thinking of too, Thomas! Some people might have thought it was silly walking out there with a rope at first, but better safe than sorry when it comes to unseen currents and waterfalls! Honestly, it's so hot now that all we need to warm up after these cold plunges is about 5 minutes in the air. The temperature today where we are in Bishop reads 104 degrees! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Hah, sounds about right. Been pretty hot here too.
Very 😎 under the water fall.
Love any time we can go under a waterfall -- it's like a gift from the hiking gods! ❤️
That was beautiful but very dangerous 😳
Ray, please remember that we brought a rope, and very carefully checked the waterfall and the teacup we swam in for any hidden currents before jumping in. Not sure if you saw the whole thing, but we made sure to show ourselves doing that in the video too.
Awesome
Thanks Ed -- it was definitely a natural wonder! ❤️
Thanks for this fantastic video. How cold is the water for swimming? I plan to go there on Labor day. Do you think the current will still be the same?🤷♂️
It's our pleasure! The water wasn't too cold at all -- very refreshing. However, not sure if the water will still be flowing much by Labor Day, so you might not have any current at all. We've heard that it can dry up quite a bit even by late July. It will still be super cool there geologically, of course, but probably not as waterfall-y. ❤
Curious. I probably have few months left. Where will you two be going. I’m looking forward to seeing you our grandchildren Orange County. Soon. In between medical surgery we. Like your vedeos. 🙂 JSCOTT
Oh my gosh, we are so sorry to hear that. Only a few months? We truly treasure your kindness and your genuinely sweet, supportive spirit, and will be sending loving thoughts and prayers your way. We are in the Sierra, headed north toward Tahoe and then further north toward Rainier, and will be back in SoCal in September. We will be thinking of you and hoping for the best! ❤️
Love you guys. How hard was this hike? This area is close to me and I would like to hike it but I’m not in the best shape.
That's so cool you're in this area -- we really love it there and will definitely be spending more time in Kernville in the future. The hike is very doable, just a few miles round trip without too much elevation gain. Probably the biggest thing to worry about is the heat, because obviously it can be scorching in that desert terrain. So you should start super early in the morning if possible, and bring lots of water or a water filter. Pretty sure you would love this hike! ❤️
Nice! Beautiful place. I wonder how your subscriber hike went?
Oh my gosh, thank you for asking -- it was truly amazing! A huge turnout of amazing people, and everyone got along well and made friends and crushed the hike. We took some footage and are actually going to post a small video of it this week!! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard I was curious about the same too, looking forward to the subscriber hike video! Unfortunately I'm in Northern CA and it was too far for me to join. Keep up the great work Adam and Elise!
@@ft3Safety1st2 Thank you! We're editing the subscriber hike this week!
Is "Behind the Waterfall Club" a thing to aspire to? 😊
Haha I really like where your head is at, and judging by the comments so far I think it is most definitely a thing to aspire to! Once we've found enough great waterfalls, I think I will make a list of all the ones it is possible to get behind for all the members of the club to access. Perhaps in order to become a full-fledged member people will have to go behind at least one and submit it to the group! ❤️ --A
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Great ideas! Love it. Have you read or recall the classic (originally French) comic book, Tintin, Prisoners of the Sun, in which getting behind a massive waterfall proves the key to unlocking the entire mystery of the story?
@@ReVoltaire No never saw that before, but it should definitely be official reading for the club!

Thanks Dean! It makes us so happy to know these videos are healing for you. We're both big believers in being connected to the earth -- through grounding, and also of course through swimming in all kinds of natural waters. It's very healing and uplifting for the spirit. ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard "Spiritual " forsure my friends! Thanks for responding! Dean
*Cool, don't die, many do.*
We will for sure be careful -- as you saw, even with waist-high water we used a rope first just to make sure the current wasn't too strong. ❤️
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 🙏
fLUTTER BY'S :)
Love them!! ❤️
4:35 - Generic footage of strong female being dramatically badass
5:38 - The Centerfold (playback in slow motion)
5:49 - The Poster (for members only?)
Haha interesting metaphor for an adventure video, but can't deny that those teacups are worthy of a slow-mo. We could look at those things all day! ❤
Three people just died in those teacups. Did the water look dangerous?
Oh my gosh, that is so sad! Do you know if they had a rope? We always bring a rope on adventures like this in order to test the current safely (you can see us doing it here toward the end of the video), because even in places that don't look dangerous you don't know what's happening with the current until you're actually in there. ❤️
Good to know. I don't know what happened exactly. Just know from watching a newsclip that the woman jumped into the last waterfall and was caught in a whirlpool. Two men jumped in to save her but also drowned. All were pulled out after 7 minutes. I'm assuming they got stuck under the waterfall. Very sad. Stay safe you guys!
@@soupnfresh Thanks very much -- we looked it up after you told us about it. What a tragedy. It seems like they were in a group with an experienced guide so probably did have rope and other equipment, but in the moment just didn't think to use it. Anyway, we will definitely keep taking precautions and always doing our best to stay safe!
💙💙💙
👍
Thanks Lothar! 🙏
Pct ever? Just wonding 😅
That's a great question, and you definitely know our mindset! We haven't done PCT yet because of work (though of course we've hiked many individual parts of it on our adventures), but one day when both of us are retired it is something we will very likely attempt if we're physically able to. We talk to PCT-ers all the time, and have huge admiration for them! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard haha I'll definitely tune in for that
Isn’t Teacups waterfall bone dry July 5, 2024?
Possible I guess, but doubtful -- we did it in June and the water was raging as you see. Hard to believe it would disappear in just a few weeks. Maybe in less rainy years it dries up faster.
I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED THERE, BEAUTIFUL BUT VERY DANGEROUS
I think most of the fatalities have been kayakers, for obvious reasons, and people attempting to rappell the larger waterfalls. But yes if regular hikers go in the water and aren't careful about the currents they could run into trouble as well. We recommend always bringing a rope, and anchoring with it to test the current as we did here. ❤️
This video made me laugh and think about you two. So, who usually has to drag the other one out to the trail? Not that that ever happens....................... ua-cam.com/video/iiUA4BnH9X4/v-deo.html
Haha it totally depends on the situation. Usually we're both raring to go, but if one of us is feeling overwhelmed with work then sometimes the other one has to remind them that we work to live, not the other way around, and that gets their butts out of the house! ❤️
This guy is 60 and she's 20 how does he actually make a living? Because I know she is just along for the ride living off him.
If you followed our channel, you'd know that I actually work full time in health care and provide medical insurance for our whole family. Adam is a very talented and successful writer, but even he agrees that I'm the harder working one. --E
Love it. I did the canyon route last summer. It was amazing
Awesome! So glad you got to have that experience -- it really is just astonishing in person. ❤️
Aren't water falls great??
So great! They're just mesmerizing to look at, and an absolute blast to play in (though admittedly sometimes a bit scary). An epic summit is probably still our favorite destination, but a great waterfall isn't far behind! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard So much life and energy in a waterfall.
