    Unlikely you're still reading comments after so long, but just in case...Good for you for making this a family affair. Love seeing good people in the world. There's not enough of them, so good on you. I found your video by trying to find this spot so I can take my young sons (and Labrador).

      Is the trail easy, moderate or hard?
      Is it necessary to air down the tires?

    Wow, what an amazing trip with awesome video footage. I can relate to the magnitude of your trip with your daughter, ten years ago I was fortunate enough to take a six week long cross country trip with my adult son & neither of us will ever forget. Thank you for sharing a very special adventure the both of you took.

    Thanks for the info and great family friendly video. We are taking our kids out west and have been looking for remote areas, off grid places and back roads for boondocking and sight seeing nature. I am allergic to fragrances and chemicals, and don’t do well around a lot of people. Love y’all’s videos!

    Sir, thank you for this video and your insight. Love seeing how these adventures bring your family together. I have a Tacoma and we pile the dogs and kids in and travel to unknown locations to have these memories cause you only have one shot at this. Would you mind messaging me the name of this overlook. We are planning on heading to a few spots in the Grand Canyon-Parashant area but this looks gorgeous. Thank you again

    I love this place. Just my opinion here. Hope it doesn’t come off wrong. Some places should take some degree of effort and research to find. Not every exact location we go needs to be shared with detail. Maybe letting the entire world know how to get there in a detailed UA-cam video isn’t necessary. If someone really wants to go this place they will find it. No need to draw them a map.
