- HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone! 2021 was a great year for me living and traveling full time in my 20+ year old truck camper. There were so many "firsts"! In this video I share some thoughts on 2021 and the New Year 2022. This is followed by an absolutely beautiful video retrospective from some of my adventures in 2021. Thank you all so much for your support in 2021!! I may be biased, but I believe I have the best viewers on UA-cam! :) Cheers to new adventures and a happy and healthy New Year!

I hope everyone has a great 2022! 👍 😎
Jesus gives us peace, love, and joy in our hearts and hope for everyday living …Happy New Year to you all and God Bless
My wife and I have been so inspired by your videos that we bought a Sprinter van last summer and remodeled it into a camper. Took it on a shake down cruise to Western Montana in October to visit her family and had a ball.
Retired now we can travel freely. Planning more trips west this summer. Maybe see you on the road. Keep making videos. They give us old folks hope for adventures of our own. 😎🇺🇸
That is awesome!
Catherine, you have a God given gift to move us from our daily pressures and Covid and world strife to a world of beauty, calm and relaxation.. Thank you.
Live post cards, the neverending majesty, that surrounds us, yet, few understand what, and whom they see.
When I subbed you had about 5k and it's been fun watching your channel grow. You always make great videos and I feel like you are a sincere and genuine person. Just continue to be you and I'm sure you will continue to have great success.
I appreciate that! Thank you! You do a great job yourself! I see you have some new content up. I'll definitely be checking it out. Happy New Year!
You sure do go to some Amazing and Beautiful places. You're living the life most of us can only daydream about. Thank You for sharing your travels and Stay Safe Out There!! 🙏👍😎
Thanks for the postcards...America the Bountiful!
For me anyway, You are the Charles Kuralt of nature and its majesty. Your UA-cam videos “fill up my senses, like a night in the forest, like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean, Your UA-cam journals, “fill up my senses”(John Denver may have written this but these words express what your UA-cam videos do for me,
How could I ever thank you enough!
Thank you for this highlight reel. This is why I watch your channel.
❤️❤️
Awesome! Beautiful country and gorgeous camera work. Thank you. Blessings
Wow, America is beautiful!
Great video! You are the classiest channel.
There are no words to describe what you did here...but I shall say, this experience is a gift that allows one to take a knee and thank our Lord for such creation. 🌵🌻🌲🦌🦋💚 Thank you 💛
The Lone Lady.
.......how awesome is that!
Ms Catherine, your skills of presenting God’s beautiful nature through a lens of a camera in such a magnificent manor is just simply eye-watering! Greatly enjoyable, my dear friend! Thank you!!
Happy New Year! I just wanted to let you know that this is my favorite UA-cam channel. Whenever I have a stressful or hectic day I know I can put on one of your videos to calm me down and bring a sense of tranquility. The no drama atmosphere along with your beautiful videography is greatly appreciated. I am close to your age maybe a little older and I envy you I wish I could do what you were doing. I will say though I’m always afraid for you thinking about snakes lol
Thank you so much! 🙏
Just awesome! That’s living!
A beautiful soul who knows how to share it...thank you...
Some of this doesn't look real, it's so beautiful. I am so blessed to be seeing it. Thank you!
Wow, your photography really captures the spirit of the west. Thank you!
Your living the life I want to live. I know I feel most alive when I'm out in nature.
When you're free to do what you want and not tied down to the Hamster wheel you see and feel things in a different way. You'll live a lot longer too.
The essence of adventure is........... Great job!
Catherine, "This grand show is eternal." JOHN MUIR
OUSTANDING PHOTOGRAPHY,MAGNIFICENT SCENERY. GREAT JOB
Thank you so much 😀
It ain't where ya go it's what you see and do when ya get there. Spontaneity IS the spice of life.
Catherine this reminds me so much of my vacation trips I made in the 90's. Thank you for taking me back to where nature takes your heart and mind away from every day life and restores your love for mother earth. Hugs 🤗 🏞🏕
HAPPY NEW YEAR CAT. What a great year we have had traveling with you on your great adventures !!. Wishing you a great new year with great health, safety and a prosperous year. Take care and travel safe always.
Truly heaven on earth. However did you find SO MANY incredible places. Amazing.
I just ran across this video. I am moved beyond words.Thank you Catherine.
I hereby award you UA-cam's "I Wanna Go There and Do That" award and another one for "Excellence in Photography" too!
Okay Catherine (Cat) Your history as in photography has transcended into video perfectly. You get that motion picture camera is not a camera in motion all the time. Letting the scene play out with a still camera works with the emotion of the shot. I am old school . . . You get it! Okay, then there is your editing. Music is everything, just sprinkle the shot you captured with the music! You get it again . . . this recap has so many moments with your music and emotional connection to your experiences at these special places. It brings me to tears. Thank you Catherine for sharing your adventures as it brings so many memories of my travels.
To:Catherine Gregory and, you're husband Happy new year and, I hoped you're family had a, great & amazing Christmas weekend with the family from Jason, L from RimRock Az.
I don't know. How to explain this but I have problems sleeping at night & your videos have put some awesome pics in my head. I can't thank you enough!!!!! You ll never know how thankfull I truly am !!!!!! God Bless!!!!!!
... Wow !! A lifetime of amazing wonder in 35 minutes .. Hard to believe you captured all that in such a difficult year for travel .. Can't imagine what this new year can hold ..
..... Stay Safe and God Bless .....
Thank you Catherine! This was a lovely gift. Find beauty everyday.
What sets your site apart is that you have mad video skills! And the music you choose makes them a spiritual experience. Thanks.
The photography and filming in this video is absolutely insane gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful country we have!❤
Never before has anyone captured the beauty, peace and grandeur of nature as you have. I feel honored to have walked this grande virtual journey through your video's in year 2021. A fellow traveler and his dog - god. Greetings from Washington State. Thank you. A+
Thank you 🙏
Stunning cinematography. Thanks for this…
I'm not sure there are words to describe this special video except, "Simply Beautiful ". Safe travels in 2022.
your soul has got to be at peace. Beautifully put together video. thank you for sharing.
I just watched the Canyonlands solo overnight video. I have watched many of your videos and enjoy them immensely. If you ever doubt the lifestyle you have chosen, take a moment and watch your videos. They are special, you are so talented, and you should continue to savor everything as you bring to joy to your viewers. Thank you.
Thank you for all the amazing video you have produced, from a 70 year old who is highly unlikely to visit the USA. especially Yosemite , keep them coming, and stay safe, best wishes for 2022.
My Heart longs for this kind of life. I absolutely love watching your videos and enjoy your calming voice. Be safe in your travels.Best channel on UA-cam 👍🏻

Awesome. Just. Awesome. Your videography has grown over the years. That compilation was masterful. I'm bookmarking it to be my go to relaxation video. Keep being you Catherine.
All you share is appreciated, thank you Ma'am.
One of the most beautiful videos of the US I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing. I have saved it and will watch it over and over.
Incredible screen displays of color! Thanks.
Amazing video. It is almost a spiritual experience to view the spectacular scenery. You add just enough dialog. Thank you for sharing!
Many thanks for sharing your vistas of the awe of nature and for validating our passports to paradise.. Stay well & safe.
Catherine, Beauty must be your middle name. You personify it in yourself and with all you do with your videos and accompanying music. Thank you for our weekly trips through the beauty our country has to offer. As always, please take care and have an adventurous Happy New Year.
Thank you Catherine for another great video. You move me with your choice of music, always.
We love you the best. Intro . voice. Relaxing time
Thank you Catherine for all your videos you are such a great person
You have "the best viewers on UA-cam," because you have the best videos on UA-cam! (Which is why I just doubled my monthly Patreon amount to you, and I have no other Patrons.) I also LOVE the exquisite music you choose.
You have found your calling doing what you do very well. Between your photography, editing and your choices of picking just the right music you capture nature at its best. Like the old saying, Love what you do and you will never work another day. 👍👍
This is the best way to appreciate 2021 let's all have a blessed 2022. Catherine I also love to meditate on a rock in the sun. Thank you, love your serine music.
Great video, just amazing. But 13:16 is just breathtaking.
This is a masterpiece of videography! Congratulations!
Outstanding video! Wonderful music. So peaceful. Thank you.
How time can fly by. 2021 seemed to come and go quickly. Wishing you health, happiness and continued prosperity in the New Year. 66K+ is no slouch in followers, by the way. Those of us who've been around from your beginning are still watching, still commenting. As others have stated, keep being your authentic self and all will be well. Oh, and yes, Mother Nature will always win. She's the Boss.....of everything.
Wow, such beautiful locations. Some I've been to, some I dream of going. Words cant express the sights. Wind River Range looks amazing and lonely. My heart aches to go on such an adventure. Wow
So beautiful. So inspiring. We are so grateful for the time and work you put into these videos. ❤
Like your journey,like your video,like your music,like your life,love u
!
Gosh..... Cat, you really know where to go for the BEST scenery! Love the adventures you take us all on! Wish I can do the same thing your doing!
Keep the videos coming, we will be here as long as your leading us! 😉
You do have an eye for beautiful places. Thank you for sharing.
Happy new year, you've have shown us our Beautiful country in the full creation of the Lord, thank you so much, Do it again.
What a year Cat!! May your best day of 21 be your worst day of 22!!
Sensational views and photography. I can tell you took a lot of time, thought, and love putting all this together. I admire so much your adventurous spirit.
Beautiful retrospective. The natural beauty of the locations and the wildlife in your videos, paired with the music you play always provide inspiration to get outside as well as a peaceful moment in an often busy day. Wishing you the best in 2022!
I have also found the same about not making concrete plans. It is so much easier and less stressful when you just go with the flow and allow the weather to steer your course. I have friends that always want to make such a structured vacation and then are disappointed when not all goes as planned. Enjoy your travels!
Catherine. God has truly blessed you in this life and your achievements are beyond measure. As i watched your trips casted into one film I know that God has a mind that extends to all his creation in life, beautiful colors, creatures of the wild and even the smallest to the largest life on this earth goes into eternal life forever. Thank you for all you have given and shared. I can now say I have seen the face of God. Bless you Catherine, stay safe and have health all your days in this life and beyond.
Your photography Is off the chart. I love your videos!!
Dear Cat 🥳🍸🍀2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣happy new year and thank you for the Highlights 🙏 Amazing 🤩 Video. So we wish you a happy 🍀and healthy 365 On the Road Season. 🏜We definitely will follow your weekly episodes 🥰Your big Berlin Fan Couple, Nicole and Hardy🙂🙃
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
My very favorite! Just beautiful! Thank you so much!
This is the first of your videos I've watched. HOLY COW....you go girl. Amazing.
Thank you so much!
Boy how time flies when you enjoy watching someone such as yourself . I can't believe when I started watching hiking videos and their was Cat who led me to Joey and the she quit her job.
Yes maybe No Smoke to chase you away .
You've been a long time supporter Willard. Thank you! 🙏
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures I was worried you were somewhere in the Sierras . I have not left since Xmas Eve when snow fell over 2 days for 8 inches and the temp fell below freezing for a week. I tried today and made it 30 feet up the driveway. Lucky I don't need anything .
I recommend you to all my friends, I think I'm responsibly for at least a dozen of your subs! You always have the best cinematography.
Thank you so much!
Chirichua is magical!
Your channel may not be the biggest, but it is certainly the most beautifull one in terms of photography and storytelling. It keeps my dreams and plans for shipping my van over the pond alive.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, Cat! I love your channel, your filmmaking style is a true inspiration, not to mention the incredible places you take us to. Here’s to many more adventures in 2022 🥂
Thank you so much. See you next video
That was spectacular!!!! wishing you the very best in 2022
Thank you Catherine!
Watching your videos is so awe inspiring and relaxing.... I'm a big time nature lover too and have yet to visit the national parks out west so I'm living then vicariously through you✅🤗
As usual one of the most beautiful and technically sound photography and videography films around. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Apply New Year! With a broken elbow and busted knee, Iam enjoying the peaceful walks. Thanks.
I hope you are always able to do this, as long as you live.
Escalante River trail - BTW, it's MAGICAL. Thank you for sharing, Catherine!
Your picts are the best of all. Nicely paced too. You do the hard work so I can enjoy; thank you.
thank you for the years past and those to come.
Nice recap. For me 28:33 is the money shot. Looking forward to seeing more in 2022.
I enjoy your videos - many places were put on my bucket list when I retire. Many of the other channels that were more about travel have become commercialized and less about the travel. Thanks for staying true!
