Enjoying once again one of Slim's best. Never grow tired of returning to his videos. Scenic vistas, artful photography of wildlife and amazing creativity.
Your videos are always incredible, but this is exemplary. Beautiful, frightening, creative, and purposeful. I'll stop there, lest the noise of my words joins the meaningless cacophony of sound coming from the South Rim.
I really enjoy your videos quite a lot. However, this one was especially wonderful. Your approach to the edge of the canyon and the reveal of the river with only the sound of the canyon building as the river came into sight was emotionally stunning! I was overwhelmed by the majestic view and we could all tell you were too! Keep up your wonderful explorations, large or small they are all so enjoyable.
I continue to watch and relish all of your videos, but I don’t always comment. So, I’m just chiming in here to register my deep and pervasive appreciation for the sights, sounds, and thoughts that you share, and the thoroughly informative, beautiful, engaging and charming ways that you share them! Poetry for the eye, ear, mind and heart. I tend to be cautious & timid about new adventures, but you inspire me to consider stretching beyond my fears to explore, discover, savor, appreciate and enjoy. Thank you so very, very much 🌺🌼🌸💐
That was just beautiful ! I have been to the Grand Canyon and others and like you do not like to be in the crowds while trying to enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature in our little trailor. Enjoy following your journey. ❣
Peace and tranquility in the desert . The milky way shows its abundance of stars when your far away from light . You found some interesting things exploring your surroundings .
Wow Slim, these just keep getting better and better! You find exactly the kind of spots I crave to visit. Your music and "dance" video was delightful! Thank You! Happy Trails
Okay so I have to admit that this video brought me to tears beautifully done in mid July I pick up my A-frame camper and I have to admit my biggest fear is not being able to find places with total isolation.I crave it I crave sites like this where you can be totally alone with nature absolutely beautiful and the only sounds fill me with Serenity and inspiration I do hope I can find places like this thanks for sharing
Slim after watching your videos, hours after hour, i just had to stop, to pay tribute to you, for an incredible job simply delightful at every turn. which i was with you in my 2012 prius v, however, i have not turned her into the camper yet, planed conversion spring 2019. thank you so much, Prius rv camper,,hopeful.. henry boston ,ma
Just got to see this one. Nice one, Slim. The last time I saw the Grand Canyon was 1964. I was a kid but still found it way too busy. Like you I seek out the quiet places that only reveal themselves to the quiet, peaceful and respectful. Thanks for sharing. PS...as a former professional musician, I enjoyed your very creative musical performance.
You like the snow! ❄️🌨 Ohhh! I want to kayak down that green ribbon, beautiful. Cool, sounds like a thumb piano. I love your closing phrase, peace and quite and listen to the rhythm of nature.
I've done just that at Toroweap on the North Rim. I'm afraid of heights and it was the only way I could bring myself to peer into the abyss that ultimately ends with the Colorado River thousands of feet below.
Thank you for showing a part of the park I've never seen....and hearing some new, original sounds combinations! I enJOY all your videos....journey mercies.
OMW Slim what a great video. Breathtaking views. A few years ago at this same time we did a the train ride from Williams. I parked my RV in the Hotel parking lot. And yes not an hour later snow! And yes it was cold. When we came back the to the MH nothing worked, no propane no nothing. Drove over to a propane place and he said someone had mixed the propane with another fuel, he drained the tank refilled it showed me how to reset everything for $3. What an amazing adventure that was. As always thank you for sharing your journeys with us.
I am a new subscriber..and just can't stop watching your videos Slim..thank you so VERY much for all of the Great content, and for sharing your experiences...👌👌👌
wow! You are so poetic! I love your videos! I feel just like you when I am in nature and there are a lot of people around, talking and making noise... I almost feel anti social at times! LOL! But actually, I am a people person... just not when I am in nature. I like to be alone, and have the chance to meditate and hear the sounds of nature, the birds chirping, the wind in the trees...I just want to soak up the beauty surrounding me...
You've got it Celine! Why deny the rest of your senses from the wilderness experience? To enjoy it with others is wonderful as well, with listening ears and library voices! SP
I feel like Anne of Green Gables. I just found two "kindred spirits." Thank you Celine and Slim! You just expressed what I have felt for my whole life but have not been able to put into words. Here's to happy nature immersion experiences for us all!
I have a phobia of being close to cliff edges. It’s not a fear of heights (I used to skydive and bungee jump). It’s more to do with a fear that the edge will give way. 8:15 Wow, I really know where you’re coming from. 😱🥴🤢🤮. Your videos are amazing and beautiful and your love for the natural world always shines through. Namaste Brother 🙏🏻
How have I not found you before now? Awesome video. This sure beats Quartzsite and and 10,000 rigs packed in like sardines, with the music of generators in the air! This would be my choice too for sure.
Wow!!! Love th creatures dancing to your improv barrel cactus traveling music. Stunning place. Your camera is really good on color. That Colorado river!!! Thank you,Slim, for sharing the beauty you find, and your thoughts of peace.
Just got back from the south rim of the canyon. I've never been to the north rim, but am definitely going there after your superb video. Absolutely love your music ensemble!
A most excellent video. I've driven past this area many times but never thought about going in and camping. Thank you for not being specific as to it's location. Arizona is full of amazing places, as you well know.
This is the third video I have watched of yours, I like this one the best. I also watched your stealth camping video and one more. This one has been my favorite. Thanks!
That was an amazing trip. I too was not so taken with the Grand Canyon, knowing it was spectacular but I could not figure out what I was disappointed with but I think you have nailed it on the head. I was awe struck when you stepped over the rim at your spot and as you said let nature provide the sounds and sights. You earned that view.
Last visit, I entered Grand Canyon at 7:00AM. A couple photographers, and beautiful light. VERY quiet. The overlooks and Canyon Village didn't get busy until around noon.Left around 1:30 PM, and the line of cars entering was at least a mile long.
I love the North Rim - so much beauty and as you found, so much more quiet and peace. But really, a nice walk east or west a mile or two from the lodges at the South Rim will also bring some peace - just not quite as much. The canyon is about 3 miles wide and a mile deep at the South Rim and at the North - a few miles farther West from the main stuff, it's 3 miles deep and only a mile wide - much different. This is fantastic - I felt as though I was there!
Hey Slim... another winner video! Message on target and your playful persona shines through once again with your adventures and a new tribal beat track with the dancing critters enjoying your Rhapsody in Red (as in Canyon Land Red)! Safe and enjoyable travels my friend...
Mr Slim Potatohead, You tell great stories! Please, keep doing what your doing, and don't let up! I've watched more than this video and have enjoyed them all especially the "foul" weather compilation video. Keep traveling, and be safe sir!
Awesome video as always. Glad you found the second spot....Sooo much more nurturing and inviting. Love your videos and really appreciate the thought and love you put into them. Be safe, Be blessed. 😉😀❤🇺🇸💙
Excellent video. I would have definitely chosen the alone spot that you were so fortunate to find also, away from all the noise, so you can enjoy nature at its best. TY. 😊👍
Hi Slim! My husband and I love your videos. We live in northern AZ, and are conserving RV living when I retire. We love your take on nature and life I in general. Travel safe!!
Visited the Grand Canyon in 2009. Did my research beforehand and my wife and I found a place to camp, right on the edge of the canyon that was 56 miles down a dirt road, the last 8 miles of which was slickrock with no one seen or heard once we got on the dirt. According to a reputable source, this location is the most remote place in the lower 48 states. Wish I could tell you where it is, but I want to keep it as untouched as possible. Inside Grand Canyon National Park, but no admission charges, no camping fees, no camping registration, and best of all - no people. We were there two days and never saw anyone else, either going there, while there or when leaving. Much higher canyon walls that where you were. Great Place.
My name Ali; I am from jordan. When I watch any video I like to read the comments... and this is the first time I noted that all of your videos comments is positive and every body happy with it.... Dear... you reflect the simple life and peace despite you are alone and using very simple tools!!!! Every day before I sleep I like to watch one of your videos... (Sorry for my bad English:)
Thank you for sharing another awesome adventure and glad you found the perfect spot👍😎 Loved the Desert Concert🎶🌵👏😀 Continued safe and happy adventures, Mr. Slim💕
Thank you for sharing, as a child growing up in Arizona in the 60's and 70's i can remember spending time at the Grand Canyon with little people around, it's sad it's not like that anymore.
I recently toured Scotland and as it was high season it was bustling with tourists. Forced out into the wilds I found it more rewarding to wild camp alone in the woods or on the less well known spots along the coast. The down side though is realising just how noisy my home town is once I got back. Back to work now and saving up for my next jaunt.
I just LOVE the north rim. I have been there many times. When the weather is warmer, the north Kaibab is a great place to camp on the edge of the Canyon. Great videos as always!!! Thanks
Thank you for sharing! I have health issues that make it difficult to explore, but it's inspiring and motivating to watch your adventures and the way you manage adversities along the way.
Hi Mike, As much as I'd love to offer more, I really can't. My style of editing and story telling is rather labor intensive, and I have nobody assisting me. If I must keep pushing to meet deadlines than all the fun, inspiration, creativity and quality will disappear. Slim Potatohead will turn into Yawning Yanni!!! I hope my regular viewers understand this. Thanks! SP
Oh my goodness, you had my adrenaline going when you were standing on the top of the cliff looking down at the river.. I had to keep looking away! I absolutely loved this video and it made me remember years ago when my family and I were there camping out. I thought the desert band music and the dancing lizard and scorpion was great and it made me laugh. (: Thanks for the wonderful journey.
Enjoying once again one of Slim's best. Never grow tired of returning to his videos. Scenic vistas, artful photography of wildlife and amazing creativity.
Your videos are always incredible, but this is exemplary. Beautiful, frightening, creative, and purposeful. I'll stop there, lest the noise of my words joins the meaningless cacophony of sound coming from the South Rim.

Wow...tranquil over grand for sure.
Wow. This shot 5:52 really shows the perspective of the size of the canyon. Awesome.
You really are a musical artist - to make music like you have in this video is exceptional! You really have a talent.
Wow, Wow!!!! Thank You Lord for such beauty.
I am amazed, camping can't get any better! The canyon, the green water l mean wow, the only place like it on earth. Thank you slim.
I love your work, Slim. It doesn't go unappreciated.⛺
Your music video at 10:35 gave me such a smile, especially accompanied by your native dancers. Well done, sir.
I continue to watch and relish all of your videos, but I don’t always comment.

One of your best! Thanks for bringing sights and sounds to those who have no opportunity to be there
Beautiful! I hate the crowds, too. I could never be a "city dweller!"
I'd have to crawl to look over the edge.
I've done just that at Toroweap on the North Rim. I'm afraid of heights and it was the only way I could bring myself to peer into the abyss that ultimately ends with the Colorado River thousands of feet below.
I’d have to do that as well, I’m not afraid of heights but I’m afraid that i might lose balance
Thank you for showing a part of the park I've never seen....and hearing some new, original sounds combinations! I enJOY all your videos....journey mercies.

I stayed in the cabin in the National Forest last year, right near where you were. It was so peaceful.
A little poetry for me first thing in the morning. Thanks and great job!

How thoughtful and beautiful! Thank You!

What a beautiful and quiet place.Lovely video
Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Brother this knocked me out. A truly amazing vid. Beauty! Thank you!
Awesome....
Excellent and inspiring. Loved the rhythm section.
Love the video, solitude time was awesome. Don't think I could tolerate the crowds. Thanks Slim!
I camped at that spot on the North Rim in May, it was awesome! It’s truly a hidden gem!
Wow. Just wow!
Wow. On my list now. Really beautiful
Absolutely brilliant. You’re a true poet drummer. Hopefully you have a few books in you. Cheers
Thank you for sharing the experience with us.

I’m with you on the serenity level. I like solitude !
im so fortunate to have found your channel. thank you
Fabulous! And that "music" was awesome.
Thank you for sharing another awesome adventure and glad you found the perfect spot👍😎 Loved the Desert Concert🎶🌵👏😀 Continued safe and happy adventures, Mr. Slim💕

Fantastic band! Beautiful world. That gorgeous green.
Hard to believe Im watching a UA-cam video, feels more like a PBS or NatGeo production . Well done mate !
Great videos. we visited the canyon in late March, it wasn't very busy, stay late in the day when the crowd has gone home for the sunset,,,,
organic rhythms! Love it! Great video! As always.... Atb Sean
What a musician!
I lived in Arizona in the late '60s ... your video brought those desert memories rushing back!
We went through that area earlier this year. Really beautiful. I loved the cactus spine music.
I just LOVE the north rim. I have been there many times. When the weather is warmer, the north Kaibab is a great place to camp on the edge of the Canyon. Great videos as always!!! Thanks
I am a loner like you. The crowds would get to me. It is so beautiful in the peaceful places.
But I'm not a loner. I just prefer peace over noise. SP
Wow, awesome video of the canyon.
Thank you for sharing! I have health issues that make it difficult to explore, but it's inspiring and motivating to watch your adventures and the way you manage adversities along the way.
Lovely!
Love all your videos ... just wish they came out more often ;-)
For me produce them as the spirit moved you. That way they will celebrate the song in your heart. 😁

Slim, always look forward to your creative, entertaining, and educational videos. Thank you!
Beautiful!
This could actually be on National Geographic. It's that well done
Wonderful journey and video! I loved it and the awesome music video at the end ❤️
One of your best. Thank you.
Beautiful
Dazzling.
Incredibly enjoyable. Even though just looking over the north rim in your video made my tummy turn a little bit! :-D
