Kraig, I dunno why I haven’t commented about this in the past but honestly since finding your channel a couple years ago your videos have become my immediate go to when I’m having a bad day with my anxiety. Watching a video will literally completely calm me down and bring me into the present. They have all been such a gift to watch. Thank you for helping me with improving my mental health.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve done that hike. My go to hike when I share Zion with someone new. Crazy how busy it’s become over the years. Next time you go, check out Oscar’s Cafe, it’s my go to place for breakfast and dinner.
@@mariarohmer2374 I'm not a fan of heights, so it was a bit gnarly but at the end of the day, it was worth it. Wish I had more time to check out the Narrows and a bunch of other hikes as well. I think in some ways Zion is even more spectacular than Yosemite. You'll be fine, it's a great workout(feel the burn) sprinkled with some adrenaline and topped with a great view. Have fun, Maria!
@@chrisnigul I am also not a fan of heights. But to be among such beauty would be worth fighting through the fear. Y’know I felt the same way regarding Yosemite & Zion. It looks so special. It’s an achingly beautiful landscape and I want to experience it. Thank you and take care!😀☮️
@@mariarohmer2374 go as far as you can, turning around halfway is common but the chains do lessen the anxiety a little... also if you turnaround or even after completion continue up the west rim trail to the highest point visible from scout lookout and you can go off trail a little to look down on the temple of sinawava
@@ashley_sprinkles no, it's been a couple years since I went. Zion National Park is pretty good at posting on twitter and Instagram so you could probably get a hold of someone there!
I’ve hiked this trail 3 times. After the first time I asked a Ranger how they do rescues. He said all we need is a shovel and a bag. Great hike without the crowds. Your videos are great! Very inspiring.
Kraig, so grateful to you for promoting our wonderful national parks. My partner and I have been enjoying your amazing, meditative videos. I have joined your UA-cam channel for a couple of months as a way of paying you back. Keep up the good work.
I'm glad you went back to Full Frame. the video quality on this is STUNNING. That valley shot just had me swearing in disbelief over and over again. BEAUTIFUL as always Kraig. I really mean it. If anything the fact you can't hear me verbally say it undersells how it really makes me feel.
We plan to visit Zion NP later this year. Thank you for the video. We have a family travel channel, but we love to share our fav walks and hikes and enjoy watching other channels. Keep on trekking!
I love seeing other people out enjoying nature but I can’t handle the extra noise and constant talking. I love how you experience nature in silence. We need to preserve that. Silence in nature is precious and healing.
I am glad and honored to see the beautiful mountain and nice camera of the national park through your video. I will continue to subscribe to your channel. From South Korean UA-camr Wongkham. 💗💗💗💙💜💙👍👍👍
Wow, that's a simplified version. But u wasn't kidding about the busyness !!! Beautiful shots !!!! 3 hrs... Dude u b in KILLER shape plus camera fetching !!!! For the folks watching and planning to go it's WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL than what you think 😊 u just have to b there to soak it in 🤠. Great work amigo 👍🏽👍🏽😀
Kraig, I just really love your videos so much. Just thanks for your creativity. Just know that your videos give me a lot of pleasant emotions and help me get in a good mood in the morning. Thanks!
Kraig you make incredibly beautiful videos that capture Mother Nature in all of its beauty and glory, it’s very inspiring. Keep up the excellent work man.
I just did this hike four days ago!! Highly recommend, but beware of the crowds. There are tons of people, especially in the middle of the day. Thanks for a great video Kraig
As a Brit when I climbed it, it blew me away. Never saw this kind of landscape before, or wildlife (vultures, tarantula, chipmunks ect) I can see why it's crazy busy except for sunrise. Nearly broke my ankle on the way down due to wearing overly stiff boots. Did a 14er a few days after was an amazing trip.
Great video, I have done this hike twice and the second time people were flying drones around. I must say there is nothing more rude after hiking all the way up there for the peaceful view and have someone fly a drone around. So I appreciate the way you went about it and the effort that it takes. Keep it up!
This was the most insane hike we have ever undertaken and you made it look so easy Kraig! But you also didn't hang your camera over the edge and look down the 2000ft sheer drop and it's those views and the vertigo that can get so many people trying this route! Great video! Cheers, Ian in London
WOW 3:13 - That is the shot! I can see how some would hate the chain length rails because it takes the natural beauty away but at least the NPS installs them and invites you to go that way. Many public land management areas would sign that area asking you to stay off the rocks. Great video, as always :)
Oooh! I almost went there this week, but we weren’t sure how busy it was going to be. So, instead we went to the San Rafael Swell. It was pretty empty! I’ve always wanted to do this hike. Looks fun!
Hiking Angel's Landing a few years ago was my favorite hike that I've ever done. I wish I had filmed it when I went, so watching this brought back beautiful memories.
My dad told me so many stories of his time in and near Mt Zion in the mid-late 80s. Sadly, I know that if I go today I wouldn’t have the same experience... still amazing I’m sure, but I’m sure I’d be distracted with so many other people taking selfies and tossing Clif bar wrappers all over the place.
Did this one last December, when the shuttles were no longer running. It was so cool, but imagine that sketchy chain climb with patches of ice. Going there in the off season is awesome.
I live on the East Coast and I hike locally as much as possible (usually hudson valley). But because of work and other responsibilities, I don't get the chance to travel to more distant areas of the US or overseas. So I really appreciate you uploading all these videos so a guy like me can get a little taste. Every single video has phenomenal content to say the least!
I was here last year as I wanted to climb angels landing on the morning of my 40th bday. It was wonderful. A little nerve wracking given it was snowing while I was climbing up but I made it safe and sound and spent about 3 hours up top with very little company as most didn’t go past the lower landing. Thanks for the reminder video.
I only went there once, but I highly recommend taking the very first shuttle of the day into the canyon. I was the only person on top of angels landing for a solid 20 mins. Didn't see anyone until I was on my way back down and people were just starting to hike up. Worth it. By the time I got back down to the shuttle area I looked back up and saw how many people were up there. And by 9am, forget it. Absolute shit show from 9am-3pm. People were literally waiting in line to access the chains. Screw that!
My divide-by-two skills are better than ever because of your videos: "Yes! A new 7-minute Kraig Adams video which means 3,5 minutes of awesome mountain scenery!"
Great video, thanks for posting. Had a chance to hike Angels landing in July 2019 with my youngest son but I did not. He went and still talks about the beauty. Next trip I will hike it.
I hiked to Scouts Lookout in 2019. Hiking further on the same trail to Angel's Landing was too hair-raising for me to attempt. Seeing you do it while only occasionally holding the chains is incredible. Your video makes the hike look deceptively carefree. There is definitely a fall hazard that should not be underestimated by inexperienced hikers or people with a fear of heights.
My wife and I just did this a week or so ago. Absolutely amazing. Can't agree enough about going early. Love Zion, but you have to work to get away from the crowds.
I’ll be going to Zion in July of next summer, seeing this made me both excited and nervous for the Angel’s Landing hike. Steep, kind of reminds me of the Highline Trail in Glacier. Gorgeous, can’t wait to do it and explore the rest of the park!
I was also up on the Angels Landing in October 2018. Fantastic viewpoint. When we were up there, it was even more crowded with people than in your video. On the ridge there was sometimes a jam and you had to wait. Some people were also afraid of heights and therefore stayed at the viewpoint in front of the ridge. I can only underline your advice to be there very early to avoid the masses.
I've been shooting Sony since 2014 but wow I am impressed with Panasonic now. It looked beautiful in 1080p but I'll have to rewatch film in 4K on my tv to really see it's quality. Amazing film once again Kraig.
I admire every video. But this...That was incredible!!! I think I can see the footage. And at the same time, I plunge into a state similar to prayer, meditation. I sometimes wondered: what of nature can I talk to when I turn to God?. Sometimes I thought it was the ocean) But today, looking at this greatness, I realized that the mountains. Mountains. This is my conversation with God Thank You for your work!
Bro I just watched this from two of my channels. And being a new UA-camr I have so much respect for you and your dedication. Because of the Camara positioning work you had to do to record this video. This video is so relaxing and really great. Great job. I just started my UA-cam channel a few months ago and I’m recording myself traveling the whole country. And I know how hard it is to record and edit these videos. SORRY FOR THE LONG MSG JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU. 💯 💯 💯
Such a beautiful video. There are so many hikes in the US I would like to do. Until then, I'm planning some hiking/ camping trips in the UK next year where I can take my dog as a walking buddy.
Kraig's vides are just what we need to clear our minds of 2020.
Totally agree!
No
2021 is literally just an extension of 2020
Kraig, I dunno why I haven’t commented about this in the past but honestly since finding your channel a couple years ago your videos have become my immediate go to when I’m having a bad day with my anxiety.

Our last name is similar
I don't know what's more impressive these rockformations or Kraig's calves
Im gonna say the rick formations but Kraigs calves are impressive haha
his calves are rock formations
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve done that hike. My go to hike when I share Zion with someone new. Crazy how busy it’s become over the years. Next time you go, check out Oscar’s Cafe, it’s my go to place for breakfast and dinner.
Oscar's cafe is amazing! And that Carrot Cake OMG!!!
I've done Angels Landing once and it's definitely steeper than it looks on camera. Great hike!
I am so anxious to go now.😀💪🏽

@@jacksevert3099 Thank you so much, Jack.😀I seriously can’t wait to go. Hopefully next spring!☮️
Man those switchbacks were a nightmare for me when I went. Can't imagine going back for your camera every time you filmed haha
but if youtube gives you money?
Did you go recently? My boyfriend and I are planning to go next week was just wondering if there was snow
@@ashley_sprinkles no, it's been a couple years since I went. Zion National Park is pretty good at posting on twitter and Instagram so you could probably get a hold of someone there!
@@ashley_sprinkles no snow at all right now!

I like how calm those videos are. He is probably a good listener and a great friend.
Only 10 seconds in and it already looks like another incredible vid yet again. Thanks Kraig!

This place looks like another planet. Stunningly beautiful!
WOW! I have heard so many people talking about this place! Thank you for taking me there!
The sceneries are stunning as always! i'd love to visit the US sometimes and I will keep those hikes and trips in mind as something to do.
Your videos are full of peace and joy. Congrats from Bulgaria

I like the new format: more trailrunning, shorter videos but more often. Thanks to you Kraig!
We plan to visit Zion NP later this year. Thank you for the video. We have a family travel channel, but we love to share our fav walks and hikes and enjoy watching other channels. Keep on trekking!
Another great video! I'm never tired of your Hiking videos!
Thanks for sharing the beauty of nature, I love it.
I love seeing other people out enjoying nature but I can’t handle the extra noise and constant talking. I love how you experience nature in silence. We need to preserve that. Silence in nature is precious and healing.
I love the strength in those long smooth strides.
So beautiful, amazing views! Thank you for your video, and greetings from Finland🇫🇮.
What beautiful views are simply mesmerizing!
Another great video. Hiking the Angels Landing Trail is top on my bucket list. Glad to see the chain part of the trail is open again
Thank you for the video of Angels Landing..
That has to be the most Buetifull place I've ever seen
Hi from UK.
You captured some really beautiful shots in this video! Great work! Keep it up! Thanks so much!
I am glad and honored to see the beautiful mountain and nice camera of the national park through your video. I will continue to subscribe to your channel. From South Korean UA-camr Wongkham.
💗💗💗💙💜💙👍👍👍
🍎👍Such an absolutely
epic park and hike. Well captured and love all the animals you saw. Thanks for this. -H
Wow, that's a simplified version. But u wasn't kidding about the busyness !!! Beautiful shots !!!! 3 hrs... Dude u b in KILLER shape plus camera fetching !!!!
For the folks watching and planning to go it's WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL than what you think 😊 u just have to b there to soak it in 🤠.
Great work amigo 👍🏽👍🏽😀
Beautifully filmed and also very informative. Thank you!
Went in August this year, i loved every second of it man. I want to go back!
Kraig, I just really love your videos so much. Just thanks for your creativity. Just know that your videos give me a lot of pleasant emotions and help me get in a good mood in the morning. Thanks!
That was amazing Kraig. The rock formations, to just imagine how they came to be that way ... mind blowing.
Kraig you make incredibly beautiful videos that capture Mother Nature in all of its beauty and glory, it’s very inspiring. Keep up the excellent work man.
Thanks for all the hard work you put in Kraig!
I just did this hike four days ago!! Highly recommend, but beware of the crowds. There are tons of people, especially in the middle of the day. Thanks for a great video Kraig
I think this was my first hike in the USA. I did it in converse all stars like a total #noob . So good to see it not that busy!
Thank you so much for always upload beautiful videos, it was a healing for me
Finally! A video of this hike without a fish eye lens that makes it look like you're hiking into space. Great video as always, Kraig!
As a Brit when I climbed it, it blew me away. Never saw this kind of landscape before, or wildlife (vultures, tarantula, chipmunks ect) I can see why it's crazy busy except for sunrise.

Wow pretty amazing scenery there I would be forever stopping to take photos
As always, great video, I love the pace you guys are walking at, my kind of pace!
This was the most insane hike we have ever undertaken and you made it look so easy Kraig! But you also didn't hang your camera over the edge and look down the 2000ft sheer drop and it's those views and the vertigo that can get so many people trying this route! Great video! Cheers, Ian in London
What a beautiful hike! Loved the views. The rock formations are awesome.😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
I'm always impressed with the beautiful shots you get. You always find the perfect spot to set up your camera.
Beautiful video. I just did this hike on Monday. There were not many people there. Your music choice makes it sound more relaxing than it was haha
man these videos are just the perfect escape during a global pandemic!!
WOW 3:13 - That is the shot! I can see how some would hate the chain length rails because it takes the natural beauty away but at least the NPS installs them and invites you to go that way. Many public land management areas would sign that area asking you to stay off the rocks. Great video, as always :)
Just wanted to say: I love your videos. Thank's for making them and pleas continue :)
Keren banget petualangannya. Salam dari Indonesia
Wow very amazing hiking. Beautiful view. 👍
These videos are so calming
Thank you again for this beautiful video. Maybe one day I'll visit this hike place as well! :)
Oooh! I almost went there this week, but we weren’t sure how busy it was going to be. So, instead we went to the San Rafael Swell. It was pretty empty! I’ve always wanted to do this hike. Looks fun!

Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼 🇦🇱
Hiking Angel's Landing a few years ago was my favorite hike that I've ever done. I wish I had filmed it when I went, so watching this brought back beautiful memories.
wow, that's really amazing. The views and your voice are so relaxing Kraig, thanks for sharing!
So access has changed a bit since my 1987 visit? I remember seeing no one for hours. Basically only when we were on our way back down.
Everywhere seems impacted now. Im afraid to go back to Zion now, 20 yrs later. I dont want to ruin my memories.
Instagram changed everything
Went there twice, both times in the summer, very crowded
My dad told me so many stories of his time in and near Mt Zion in the mid-late 80s. Sadly, I know that if I go today I wouldn’t have the same experience... still amazing I’m sure, but I’m sure I’d be distracted with so many other people taking selfies and tossing Clif bar wrappers all over the place.
Ten years after your visit, I was born.
Did this one last December, when the shuttles were no longer running. It was so cool, but imagine that sketchy chain climb with patches of ice. Going there in the off season is awesome.
How was the weather for december? I am visiting in 9 days. Thanks
Wow, stunning views. Thanks for sharing.
Bucket list hike right there! Thanks for sharing this

Nice hike and one I regret not doing last year whilst in Zion due to lack of time. Thank you for taking us along 👌💕 New friend to your channel.👍
Have done this hike well over 20 times. Still my favorite place in the whole world.
Stunning! Visiting Zion has been on my bucket list for quite some times, along with this hike. Thanks for giving me a sneak peek. :)

Nice video! I just arrived in Zion a couple hours ago and will be hiking this trail tomorrow. thanks for sharing
Angels Landing is one of the world's most renowned hikes and is an unforgettable short adventure hike worthy of all bucket lists.
I was there in August. So in love with that area. Glad I did it in 2020.. not as many people. And it was perfect
Loved this hike. Awesome place, amazing views. Hoping to get to Zion some time soon, maybe this year.
What an interesting trail and a beautiful view! Keeping this in mind for when we go out west. Great video as usual!
Your work is beautiful! Thank you so much for this video, I'm subscribing to your channel!
Great video, thanks for posting. Had a chance to hike Angels landing in July 2019 with my youngest son but I did not. He went and still talks about the beauty. Next trip I will hike it.

Great to see you back! Good video delivered as always 👍🏻👏🏻
Those are some beautiful views for a short hike, great video!

Apparently this is one of the most dangerous hikes. You guys made it look easy.
Man I was near Zion when I took a side trip from the PCT, and did the Rim to Rim to Rim hike. What a magical place! Keep up the good work man
I was also up on the Angels Landing in October 2018. Fantastic viewpoint. When we were up there, it was even more crowded with people than in your video.

I’ve driven through Zion but never gone in so I’m excited to watch this!
Amazing video. I'm just thinking about how hard it must have been on the switchbacks to go back and get your camera!
I've been shooting Sony since 2014 but wow I am impressed with Panasonic now. It looked beautiful in 1080p but I'll have to rewatch film in 4K on my tv to really see it's quality. Amazing film once again Kraig.

Have been there last year the views are just amazing 😍 Greetings from Germany ✌️
I would cry at the top. That view is insane
