#Backpacking #Utah
I love when you and joey hike together!😊😊😊
David Paulides constantly stresses "never hike alone". Great seeing buddy Joey along. Hey Joey !
Like Scuba diving - always a buddy system- much safer
You and Gentleman Joey. The beauty and peace you share with us is so special. You bring us beauty, calm and joy to our hearts. And as always love it when Joey is with you.
You are quite the trooper- kudos to Joey for challenging your limits- thanks for the opportunity for us to live vicariously through your travels
OMGosh, Catherine! I was on pins and needles and you and Joey crawled through that narrow rock ledge. Joey, you're so chivalrous to be there for Cat. What a guy! Thank you for taking us along this trip which many of us would never see.
It is not a hike for the faint hearted. Having Joey along takes all the fear away. He would never let anything happen to you. He is like what I imagine Lewis and Clark. He could get you across any situation!!
Such a treasured friendship.
Well done getting through the water!
Joey is awesome. He's made trips to a lot of my favorites and has given me inspiration for others. We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful country and have the ability to enjoy it like this.
Water water everywhere but so breathtaking!😮 Man can never replicate nature in its infinite glory. Thanks, Cat for the otherworldly hike & thanks Joey, master backpacker & gentleman. Be safe always 🙋🏼♀️👍🏻⛰️❤❤
Yahoooooo Joey! What a wonderful, caring partner! 💙🩵💙
Excellent video , as usual !
Thanks to you both for sharing 😊😊😊
In my next life, I want to do everything that you are doing with somebody to hang out with. You are truly blessed.❤
If you've ever had a serious poison ivy rash, it becomes perfectly clear why the canyon was named Death Hollow! I was there 23 years ago . . . a magical place.
What a spectacular place "Death Hollow" is.........thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for this gorgeous start to my morning! I feel filled with peace, gratitude, and awe at the beauty and adventure you two shared with us. Ahhhhhh!!!
I love watching you and Joey hike together, you guys travel together so well! And so kind of him to make that trek twice so he could carry your pack across! This is one of my favourite videos you’ve put out in ages!
Me too!! I was just going to write- One of my favorite Videos! Absolutely gorgeous and so thankful for it and you sharing this...
Thank you!
Oh Catherine! That was spectacular!! You take us where we can't get to. And like everyone else, we are so glad you have such a good friend as Joey to travel with. Thank you both so much for these videos. May God richly bless you both!! Happy trails!!
Such stark beauty and magnificent vistas, and what a harrowing experience having to crawl over wet slippery rocks. You certainly know how to adventure, Catherine. And kudos to Joey, the best hiking partner ever.
I am so glad you're taking your friend Joey with you . Great video as always ❤❤
Congrats on nearing the century milestone. I remember when we used to talk about how to get past the 50 K mark. Also can see why you are adventuring with Joey. He makes a very good partner in your adventures. 😊
Thanks so much Ken!
Coffee with Cat, never disappoints, thanks for the beautiful hike, thanks for the hard work. Both of you deserve applause for sharing this with us. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Joey makes a great travel companion. Beautiful as you said. Glad you both had another safe and wonderful trip to chalk up for the memories!
Outstanding cinematography my friend! This whole place looks like a movie set! Phenomenal storytelling as well! 👏👏
Thank you for doing all the hard work so we get to see such beautiful scenery.
This place is gorgeous!! You are so lucky to have a hiking pal like Joey to take you on these challenging trails to advance your skills. You are an inspiration, you both are!
It’s great you have Joey as a hiking buddy - glad your traveling with a friend-- a lot safer 🍻
What an awesome hike and scenery. A couple of sketchy areas, but often there is a price to pay to get to the spots of most beauty. Thanks for bringing us along.
Beautiful hike. Thank you for sharing and allowing this senior citizen to vicariously hike along with you.
Epic way to start Spring in 2024!! 🏕🌲❤😁 High fives to you and Joey!! I love both your commentaries, beautiful camera shots and best of all, the thrills and mega wow moments you both feel and share with us! 🙌❤🙌 Thank you!
I see why this is your favorite backpack in Utah. So appreciate how kind Joey is on so many occasions when you are together. A special guy for sure! Thank you for taking us along to a place some of us may never go. Your videos are above and beyond my favorite, your relaxing manner, your organization skills, your intense appreciation for nature, your relationships with friends and family and Birdie of course! Thanks Catherine! Love from Oro Valley Arizona
Another absolutely stunning video Catherine and Joey! Thank you so much for bringing us along and the lengths you both go to putting out such amazing footage!
Thanks for sharing that stunning scenery and another great adventure!
Good morning Catherine. I'm always amazed at the size and beauty of Utah's massive canyon walls. Your new tent is really nice with room & storage. I think Joey is part mountain goat.
I am happy you have someone with you Catherine yall stay blessed.
Absolutely gorgeous! Joey is a great, supportive friend!
Thank both of you for another inspiring video. What a sweet way to begin a Sunday morning watching you take us outdoors to beautifully stunning locations. God bless!
Thanks for taking us along. I’m wore out trudging through that water. Great teamwork throughout the trip. Beautiful views as always. Gods blessings.
Your music and photography is just stunning! Your presentation of these special places is just magical. Just what I needed this morning. Thank You!
I saw a funny sign recently that you might like.
“Taking steps to overcome my hiking addiction. Not out of the woods yet.”
Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for taking me along.
I "was on this hike" with you the last time you hiked Death Hollow and loved it just as much this time. The scenery is stunning as as usual you do such a good job showing it to us. Going down that rock face looked difficult and you conquered it with grace. As always Catherine, thank you for taking us along and sharing your journey. Be safe and have fun. We'll see you in the next video!
Magnificent Creation Magnificent Creator
I just adore watching you undertake such a beautiful hike. At 73.5 years young, I know I will not be undertaking such a hike. As such, I appreciate your fabulous videography so I can still see and enjoy the places you take us to.
Thank you for taking us on this beautiful journey.
Thanks for taking us along cat. Beautiful scenery, awesome . Oh hello from NM
One of your best productions ever...great job!
Wow what a stunning trip. That place is just unbelievable. Thank you for another great video.
Morning Catherine--Wow! That looked pretty scary descending down that wall into Death's Hollow! Fortunately you had your trekking poles for stability. Amazing how Joey could just run down the wall. He's as agile as a mountain goat. I'd be too nervous for that. Your campsite's views of the canyon's cliffs with pine trees was stunningly beautiful. Your river hike looked like an enchanting passage through time, as it took many moons for the canyon to be created over millennia. Thanks Joey for carrying Cat's backpack and helping her through the Crux! ❤🌵🏜
Scenery is stunning. Water hiking didn't look too appealing in the worst spots. Thanks for the gorgeous video.
Never get tired of “Cat Tent Talk “ in the morning. Thank Joey for helping out on the video with the camera.
So glad you have a traveling companion to help you negotiate the rough spots.😊
That is a very scenic hike, could be good trout fishing to, I've done a lot of Creek hiking too, one trick is to bring a large garbage bag to float the pack through deap spots where you might have to swim.
My feet got cold watching this. Great hike. Thanks.
That’s a bold statement to make about the most beautiful place in the most beautiful state in America! As usual, you were right and I am a bit sad that although I have been to Utah many times, I have never visited there. Thanks for taking us where we might never otherwise have been able to visit. Your treks bring me great joy. Your love and knowledge of landscape is evident in every video. Thanks again! Keep on trekking! ❤
WOW!!! 5 stars. We REALLY enjoyed this vid! We've been watching your vids for years and this one was definitely top tier work. Joeys additional camera work adds another layer of shot chops to the visuals. Great music score. Really superb work guys. Thanks so much! edit to add the trout at 29:41 "I'm outta here!" haha
Loved that little trout. 😊
Beautiful cliffs and waterfalls. ❤
What a breathtaking adventure! It is one I could not do myself, so grateful to be taken along 🙏🏻💜
I gotta say Catherine sometimes I fast forward but not this one and that was before the hand and knees. This hollow is Soo beautiful. Thank you and bless you and Joey. It’s not a trek you would want to do alone.
So beautiful! The colorful cliffs are so amazing! Thanks for all the hard work making this professional video Catherine. Looks like an awesome, dangerous, uncomfortable hike to me. Stay well!
Thank you Joyce!
Catherine,
I live vicariously through you. Thanks for what you do and share. I would never get to see all these beautiful places if not for watching your videos.❤
Thanks to you my wife and I spent 4 days on 395 exploring the eastern sierras. Thank you
I love being in the nature and watching your videos makes me feel like I am in the nature ❤
Hi Catherine---My husband and I just found your You Tube channel and we Love It!! Watching Amazing You and your travel companions journey through and traverse the mighty beauty of this country-is like bathing the body and mind in endorphins. Your adventures are a calm and beautiful alternative to the chaos out in the world. Your gracious sharing of All aspects of your adentures provides a wonderful respite for your viewers! You Go Girl!!-Jamie Christie
That was amazing as usual. !!!!!!!! Joey is awsome !!!!! Thanks for the relaxing day. Have some scary dr. Appts this relaxed ne VERY much thank you. Think ill spend rest of day watching your relaxing vidios . I appreciate you & joey sooooooooo much thank you & God bless!!!!!!!!!❤
I'll be praying for God's Healing for you.
Good luck with the doctors Cynthia! 🙏❤️
Oh my! Ledge crawling!! Paying your dues to get to the other side. 😁
Ok, I know this is weird but i actually cried watching this. This UA-cam phenomenon is also just plain weird. We've known you and Joey for a good few years. We first saw you in the Grand Canyon with Joey on his channel, then all the subsequent hikes and friends. We missed Joey immensely and now his channel is gone. Its crazy wonderful that youre traveling together. Im thinking your friendship is very solid. I want to say I think opening your channel to "both of you being equal hosts" is a great idea; your solid relationship can likely pull that off quite well. Interviews, comments, humor from both of you....like so many other channels with couples. That brings even a richer dimension to your already great channel. Your channel doesnt need anything ... but right there the two of you opening it up to that fullness delights my socks off...my socks are dry her in Arizona......Im heading north this week. to crazy Moab, The Winds, then a good long time in Yellowstone. Yes, Im a full timer too with my 2022 tear drop....its in my blood, the cry of the wilderness.
Thank you for sharing. Props to camera man Cocobear.
It’s interesting to hear you comment about “you’re a little afraid of heights “, and then proceed along rock ledges and river shelves that would make the rest of us probably “soil our socks”. I’m sorry but fearful is not something that easily comes to mind about you at all. Maybe something more like fearless with a good dose of sensible. Absolutely beautiful area.
It's called Death Hollow, because of the possibility of dying from flash floods! Beautiful place, Thank You for sharing the journey!
When you look down into the canyon , my first thoughts are , "why" , then once you are down they are "why not". What a mostly arduous trek - well done you two.
I only have three words, Absolutely stunning hike.
That edgy stretch with the plunge pools, your Crux, is known as The Keyhole on maps. It's a good name because it almost tunnels through the rock, like a subway tunnel almost except with a slot of sky above. There is a subterranean feature a lot like this in Zion, known as The Subway. It is trickier than The Keyhole and requires some ropework if you approach it from one direction. . . . It deserves mentioning that if one goes through The Keyhole wearing a pack, you should unbuckle the belt, so it does not become a dead weight if you should slide off into the plunge pool. Though It goes without saying, not sliding off that wet ledge in the first place is the better way. A couple of the pools can be deep. . . . This walk through Death Hollow was my first long pack trip, back in 1991. It has changed a lot since then, but a lot of it never changes. The Keyhole took my breath away that first time. It had rained hard all night the night before and it was full and cold. I was so glad to be through it. . . . Thanks to both of you for the images. Good camerawork and editing.
Awesome hike thank that native trout looked irresistible I take my fly rod and catch and release occasionally my hunger gets the best of me.
Thank you Joey, for being a gentleman! 😊❤
Wow!!!! 😮 Thanks for taking me on a journey I'll never do, but got to enjoy thru y'all!! 😅
I drove on and off road through this area a few weeks ago. It’s so nice to see much deeper into the remarkable Escalante 💎 Jewel. Thank you so much Joey and Catherine, all the best!
Great video Cat and your buddy Joey. Interesting hike through Death Hollow. Could those black streaks on the canyon facade be tears of sadness in the Death Hollow? 🤔
Once again so glad Joey is such a great backup and you are not alone ❤
Yes, I could feel the magic of that place through my screen 😄. I always wondered if you don’t get a lot of blisters walking in and out of water constantly.
Excellent, except the crawling the rock face 😎⭐️🤩
On the "wow factor" scale, this adventure was epic! Your section of music accentuated the beauty of your hike. Joey is the perfect partner to have on any backpacking excursion. I loved this adventure! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Awesome, as always! We've seen your other two Death Hollow backpacking trips, and all of them are EPIC. This hike is high on our list, but not gonna lie, that sketchy crawling part makes us nervous. 😂 We've done sketchy things before, though (Angels Landing and Delta Lake), so hopefully, it will be fine! Great video, Catherine and Joey! ❤
Thank you!
Love Utah !
Miss Catherine, I found you by accident in utube and what a wonderful experience it has been you taking me along to all those beautifull places you have visited. I drove an 18 wheeler for 5 years 17 yrs ago and like you I wanted to drive by myself. I drove mostly 11 western states and so so many beautiful small towns. Saw your video on Lone Pine Ca, stayed overnite there brought beautiful memories. Love your channel!!!
I am glad you and Joey are hiking together! 🏜️🏞️🏝️🌅🌄🌈
My gorgeous state of Utah . I’ve had two knee surgeries and couldn’t of done that to save my life. I admire how you got through all of that. Joey seems like a hero. I love your videos.
Absolutely breath taking! I need a Joey Coconato.... what a gem and the perfect backpacking partner.
Wow this was a wet and wild trip ,but who better to spend it with than Joey!! My feet would have been water logged forever!! Im glad you made it through the challenges safely!! See you on the next adventure!! 😃👍
I love what you and Joey do, taking us on your adventures! This was definitely the best! Keep doing what you both are doing! I for one, will continue to watch!
Thanks Cat & Joey for sharing this awesomeness. So very much enjoyed! Wonderful cinematography & music & pacing...
I have been to a lot of places in the world, but your trips always take my breath away. Stunning !
Dear Catherine,
You are one very btave lady. Being terribly claustraphobic, i could never do the tight places.
You and Joey make an awesome team. Your videos together in this beautiful state of Utah are so awesome. Thank you so much.😊
Well, I'm one of those who definitely CANNOT relate 😊I choose to live vicariously through you and others YT'ers like you who share similar journeys. I lived my life in my 20's, 30's and 40's and now I just love watching all my YT channels I subscribe to and get to see all the amazing journey's y'all enjoy firsthand and up close. That death hollow canyon hike definitely was AMAZING!! Thank God for Joey who was there to help film and guide. Always best to go with a good friend 😊
I was hoping you would of have traveled to a once in a lifetime Solar Eclipse location "Total Blackout". Think you could of grabbed the needed subscribers to go over top. Catherine your a great story teller and an excellent photographer. Maybe if you pack up you can make it. Thanks for your beautiful post. I can see why it's your favorite.
Many thanks for your travels!
Such a beautiful place … I wish I was going.
Safe traveling 🎒😎
She is just as beautiful as everything she takes us to.❤
I caught the name of the trail and had to watch. Imagine my surprise when you showed the mail trail head. Back in the late 20s /30s my grandfather hauled mail on that trail. Not sure how long or for sure the year(s).
Thanks for sharing your trip.
I have watched so many hiking and camping videos but omg this is so stunning ty so much for sharing. The editing, the music, your voice, everything, just lovely
Wow again! Thanks for once again taking me somewhere that my 79 year old self is unlikely to go.
Love it. Utah never ceases to amaze me. Glad to see I am not the only one out there exploring and have a fear of heights! Great job thanks for sharing beautiful Utah. One of my favorite states to explore.
I'm overcome with happy emotions for you, Cat. This is so phenomenal!
You are so strong!! 😮 Coming down the side of that big rocky area....💪👍Going through the rivers....Amazing! Beautiful place .❤
