Hiking Zion National Park - Angel's Landing & The Narrows
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лис 2017
- Join me as I hike through Zion National Park including conquering my fear of heights hiking up to Angel's Landing. Sketchiest hike I've done to date. I also hike for the first time through water in the deep canyon of The Narrows. This is my first visit to Zion and the fall color is amazing throughout the park. The views and scenery are stunning!

Your awesome lady. This is my favorite episode of them all. Your an excellent host for all of us who wish we could be out there free to live. A life is so short. Be well and safe in all your travels. And thank you.
You picked a good time to go with all of the fall colors. What an epic hike! Scary I'm sure. A hard climb straight up. Good job!
I am very grateful that you were able to make the trip safely other than a little bumps and bruises those are awesome shots thank you for taking the time to do these things to share your love have a blessed day
Catherine...
If you ever see this. This is another of my five favorite videos of yours. I don't know how you you did it. I was a puss. With my fear of heights I couldn't. I tried, but no. When you get to the spot where you have to hold onto the chain. I turned around and started back down.
So thank you for this video. The view from up there was incredible. Have fun always babe.
Love you. 💕 Randy. 🎼👍
One of the most AMAZING And INSPIRING adventure videos I have every seen. Fall color show- feats of bravery. Nice that you added the story of the group of women supporting their friend.
very cool video
thank you Catherine
Thank You for the trip to Zion. Very Beautiful Place! Stay Safe, keep post n I'll keep watching. 🙏👍😎 100K Day !!!🎉 Yippee Yay Yay!!!!🎉 4-22-24🎉
Excellent video Catherine. Love to watch your adventures and appreciate that you are 'real' and not pretentious! Angel's landing view looks like the closest thing to heaven on earth.
I love your videos, it's great u can go to national parks and hike
This is an amazing video of a hike. I could relate to how scared yet brave she was. All of her videos are great because they are also entertaining. Love watching them- inspired
Amazing! It made me dizzy and weak-kneed when you were making the climb with all those people on the trail. I’m surprised there have only been 7 tragic deaths. The ‘gold’ rock was stunning. What a spectacular video!
Wow, breath taking! Thanks for sharing, absolutely beautiful!
Top class just beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.
I went there in October 2012. hiked it and loved it.
Breathtaking with the fall colors!🍁 Thanks so much for filming!❤
Beautiful!!!
An incredible visual feast... I gorged myself. Thank you for the hikes and excellent recording.
Loved this video. Went this January and did both, really brings the memories. One of the best experiences of my life
Oh my goodness! I'm glad you weren't alone. Gulp! Beautiful though.
Wow! Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Great videos. Very professionally done.
So beautiful. You too! Congrats!
Beautiful awesome fall colors and one amazing hike.
Yes...I was so stoked on the added bonus of the fall color. The hike is one I will never forget.
Hello Catherine, you never cease to amaze dear. This was an awesome adventure. Thanks for sharing. I believe that 'brutal' was a good choose of words for this hike. You, please, continue to be safe out there.🤗
Just a really wonderful video! Two fantastic hikes, wow! I just have to get back there, thanks again!
Wow, thats some climb, best video yet, loved the music very Etherial.
One of the most epic places I ever seen!!
Just absolutely amazing!!
Thank you so much for taking us along!!
I appreciate you coming along and I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you haven't been, I hope you get to visit.
Love the music..
Absolutely gorgeous! Your videos just never disappoint. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures, they are a joy to watch.
Thank you Dan for your support! It means a lot. I really enjoy making these videos. I look forward to working on them and thinking about what I can do next creatively.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Double D!!
Great show today folks. Thanks, I really enjoyed it. I'm 65 and can no longer go on adventures like that. My body has arthritis. I used to backpack and go mountain climbing. Then I started day hiking, but those hikes keep getting shorter and further apart. Now my eyes are seeing through the lenses of people like you. Thanks again. Take care. Vaughn
You are quite brave i must say, thank you for sharing that!!
Absolutely loved Angel’s Landing hike in November 1999. I hope to return someday again.
Great Job!
This is Zion and we are not afraid! Lol. I love the beautiful rockscapes!!
Amazing👍🏻
That was fantastic!
Thank you for taking us on your adventure! Now I’ve got to put that on my bucket list!!
Thank you for watching Mike! Glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely one for the bucket list. I don't think you'd regret it. :)
It's beautiful.
Wow! Gorgeous! Well done for not quitting and getting all the way to the top of Angel's landing! Epic footage!
Thanks so much Ruth!! We can be inspiration for one another! :) It is such a gorgeous place and I think I got it at the exact right time for the fall color.
Well that was just insane and Merk is a freaking rock star, you both are!! I got dizzy just watching lol... great job, thank you for sharing!
It was sketchy!! hahaa. Very glad to have done it. Thank you Victoria.
Your best video ever, Cat! 👏
Thanks for sharing Cat! Great shots of this beautiful park!
Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate the kind feedback. I was blown away by the beauty.
Great video of an amazing place.
Can’t wait to do this! I’m on the 3 year plan to retirement. This gives me time to get this fifty something year old butt in shape to do the things I want in life. thanks Catherine! Keep doing what makes you happy! Most important thing in life!
Awesome! I have not been there in ages and now I want to go back and hike all over.Good job on your hike. Great video, thanks.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm ready to go back myself. :)
beautiful and fantastic, congratulations
Wow!! This was amazing and scary😲😱🙈😊
Great video Cat. You definitely featured some of the best Zion has to offer. Brings back great memories of the trip i made there last fall. Zion is definitely a hikers dream. I look forward to going back next year.
oh!!!!......Zion is number one on my bucket list!!!!!!.......you are so lucky!.......beautiful video as always!.......great stuff.....I think i would like to go in the winter when it is less crowded!....what a majestic place!
You must go Mike!! Funny thing is...it was less crowded on this trip! haha I cannot even imagine what summer is like. I know it can take a good hour or more to even get on a shuttle which you are required to take to certain areas of the park. We stepped right on. I'm sure if you get into the back country, you can escape the crowds. Thank you on the video! :)
Wow, just WOW!
BrianWest58 thank you Brian!
Wow just breathtaking !! Amazing video, I have never seen parts of this beautiful world that we live in !! The state of Michigan is all I really seen . Really appreciate you sharing ! God bless stay safe
So Nice !
Beautiful job with the video - I've done all 3 hikes you did, years ago, and your videos captured it all so beautifully, and took me back in time when I could do these hikes. I can still do the Narrows, as I did it a couple of years ago, but Angels Landing is now beyond my capabilities, but the memories last a lifetime, and it's fun to relive them through your wonderful video footage -thanks for the memories!
Wow that’s intense for sure but what amazing views. Thanks for sharing this.
Johnny on the Trail so glad I did it. Thanks for watching!
Great fall colors, great views and another great video. Sometimes the climb to the top is hard but the view is worth it. Thank you so much for sharing. 😃
The fall colors were incredible!!! That was a bonus for sure. The view from the top was well worth it and also conquering my fear of heights made it that much more sweet. Thank you so much.
It’s always awesome to see a place you’ve visited through someone else’s eyes. Looks like you had a lot less crowds. Thanks for sharing this. Makes me want to go back
It is amazing Chris! I can't wait to go back. An added plus is they don't have bears to worry about. haha
I’d recommend it in winter. Went this past January in the evening. There may have been 30 people in total, made the whole experience soo much better. A bit of ice, but it never felt sketchy.
Plus you really need to hike the narrows in the winter during the ice falls. It’s undoubtedly dangerous, but seeing it feet away is impressive. You’ll hear a loud crack.....nothing.....then it sounds like a bomb going off when the ice hits rock.
Angels landing was a great hike good job
Wow loved it.
Thank you Steve!
Thanks for sharing your life.
Love this video!
Thank you Theresa!! So glad you enjoyed it.
Cool I just did some more of the PCT a few video back. Going up looks a lot better then going down. Awesome views just amazing
🙏 for sharing I am heading there August 2 to the 5 your video was amazing shots my knees are shaking already in excitement and in fear can’t wait from Canada
Another good one! Thanks!
Thank you Tony!!
This was easily one of your best vids so far. Absolutely beautiful and I loved the adventure/overcoming fear. I can relate. I'm in Utah, and I've never been to Zion's, believe it or not. You've got me thinking about heading down there! Thank you for another amazing adventure, Catherine.
Thank you so much Steve! You have got to go! I was truly amazed at how beautiful a place it was. It blew away my expectations. There's a special energy there. I'm looking forward to exploring more of your beautiful state!
I really need to go hiking there, just awesome!
It's amazing!
Haha! "Sorry mom. I know this is going to make you nervous." My mom was SO worried I was going to fall. I was a little, too. Not gonna lie! I'm SO scared of heights. I feel good saying that I did it. And have the video to prove it! (For when I'm old and my grandkids don't believe me! haha)
lol! Good for you!! Glad I have this video as well or I might not believe I did it. Thank you for watching!
@del23 aze I know right, I was quite uncomfortable
Thank you Catherine for this video. The scenery was great and beautiful. I’ve been to Zion a few times and hiked it. But not quite as far as you went. I know unwound have never made it. I’m older now than I was and I still don’t I’ll make it up there. Thank you for doing a great video.
AL was one of the best hikes I ever have done and it is great to see your vid of it. THXS, Stumbled onto this while doing research for a Sierra Nev. trip soon. Great shots straight down..love it.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. I have lots of Sierra stuff on my channel. :) Happy Holidays!
Well done 👍👍 girl!!!
Zion is awesome... Angel is so cool.. took me and my sister longer than we thought but so worth it 😀😀. The narrows are a charm of it's own ...
It is a beautiful, but crowded hike! lol
What an incredible video. You have nerves of steel on the Angel's landing hike. Beautiful tree colors. And then the narrows the next day! You have the strength of one if those mountain goats. You looked wonderful in your water pants! All of this adventure was wonderful. I missed it in March but November looks like a perfect time also!
Thank you! I know they just had some big storms come through and closed some of the trails.
John, good to hear from you. This fall for sure for me. Cooler temps and fall colors. Still planning trip to whitney and Monmouth lakes hopefully this fall.
Cat you sure have crazy things going on. But be careful and please pray. A person like me I couldn't do it. Scares me just watching you and Dan. Good luck.
Wow you been going all over the place. Lucky girl! Keep it up your awesome!
I've been on a roll Ken! haha. Thank you so much.
Yay a new hiking video! I couldn't click on it fast enough!
It felt so good to hike!! Thank you for watching!
The name Dan Merkel caught my attention . Surf trips to Jalama and the Ranch in the early 70’s. You guys did a great job filming this vast playground that is Zion . Sinewava at canyons end is one of my magic places in the beautiful west. Top notch content!
Thank you so much John!
Great video. Thanks for the ideas for places to hike in Zion
Hey there! Glad you found some helpful info in the video. Thank you and thanks for watching !
Your videos are just getting better and better. This video brought back so many memories I was motivated to look at some old pictures of a three day backpacking trip to Zion in late May 1994. Day one started on the Lower Kolob Plateau and took the Potato Hollow Trail to a camp site on the edge of the West Rim. On day two I dropped down into Zion Canyon, up to Angels Landing, down to the river and then back up to my campsite on the West Rim. Then on day three hiked back to the car. Three things I really remember about that trip: (1) near the end of the first day I was at an over look into one of the canyons and there was no wind and not a sound and I thought this is the quietest place I've ever been; (2) climbing up to Angels Landing I saw young kids (7-9) running up the sketchy parts of the trail and thinking their parents must be idiots; and (3) on the final day I felt a slight pain on the top of my ears, so I touched the top of both ears and had blood on my fingers - forgot to put sunscreen on the top of my ears and only wearing a ball cap. Thank you for the wonderful video and bringing back a few memories.
Thank you so much Bryan! Wow! I'd love to backpack through there. I'm really not one who likes to do the popular/crowded hikes and trails, but I did want to do Angel's Landing. I envy the time you get in the backcountry. Sounds like you have a wonderful catalogue of memories from many amazing trips. I'm glad I get to see some of them here on UA-cam.
Beautiful country thanks for sharing.
It is indeed beautiful. Thank you for watching!
great video! I did all those hikes and few more. Brings back some memories. Zion is a stunning place!
Thank you! Zion is amazing!
Wow. Amazing. And yeah you and me next year. Let’s backpack there!
Would love to!
Awesome video!
Thank you 🙏!
Angel’s Landing was captured magnificently! Kudos for testing your fear of heights, that takes a lot of mental & intestinal fortitude. The only way I’ll ever experience the views from Angel’s Landing is from vids like this. Never been afraid of flying but exposure like that scares the bejesus out of me. Thanks for sharing your experience & the gorgeous scenery.
John Eagerton thank you John. Glad I could bring you along especially since you don’t see yourself doing this.
Zion is magic. You are pretty easy on the eyes too.
Keep enjoying life and be safe 👍👏❤️
Thanks for the great video. At my age and poor health,I would never make the steep climb so I enjoyed walking with you from my office desk. Great photography as always
Thank you 🙏
Oh.My.Gosh!! Stunning pics of the whole area ... the fall colors are amazimg!! And your shots from Angel's Landing DEFINITELY show how treacherous it can be. I've had 4 personal friends do that hike, but their pics did not do it justice. Props to both of you!! I'm gonna start referring to you as the "Iron Lady" of UA-cam hiking videos ... true nerves of steel!!!
😎😎🖒🖒
These last national park videos have been wonderful. But I also love the ones when you pack in. Looking forward to your next "experience"!!
Iron Lady of UA-cam hiking videos...haha...love it! Thank you so much! The fall colors were incredible. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great footages ..
Love the smile 😃 with the background view 😍
wild, just wild
Memories!!!
Such a beautiful country. Watching all 3 vids then remembering the q+a where you said you were a hat person... must have had your own hat suitcase! Thank you and Merk for sharing your awesome scary adventure.
hahaa...Thanks Craig. I actually only brought one hat on this trip. The one I'm wearing in this video. Backpacking...I usually bring 2...the hat I wear hiking and a beanie for camp. If I'm on a road trip...all bets are off and I can have 3-4 lol. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Wow! That was crazy! I know the video really didn't give it justice on how severe that drop off was! Good for you! My a-hole would be puckering tighter and tighter with each and every step! 😂 Great video editing too... top notch!
Bwhahaaaa!! You have a way with words. Love your no holds barred honesty. lol. It was sooooo sketch!! Good to see you here and thanks for the kind feedback. You always do a great job with your vids, as well.
First vid I’ve watched from before you went FT. Isn’t Zion amazing?!!! Looks like you had great weather. We did the narrows too but not Angel’s Landing. Good for you! Quite an accomplishment! One of my favorite shots was that brief moment of the RED Leaves against the BLUE sky, but all of the leaves turning were just gorgeous.
Amazing! I am a little nervous about heights but you videos are awesome. Thank you
Thank you so much Douglas. For sure this hike will be sketchy for anyone afraid of heights. You can hike a good portion of it without doing that final stretch through the scariest part and still see amazing views.
O. M. G.....I am so glad you two hiked Angel's Landing because after seeing your footage I know I could never do it. I was getting vertigo from just watching the footage! And Merk was carrying a tripod! My hat's off to both of you. Beautiful area, but I think I would stay off the chain section. No can do! Now I will watch the rest of the video. :-)
Thank you so much Karen. I almost quit when I saw how much further we had to go. I'm really glad I didn't. I definitely conquered a big fear of heights that day.
Wow spectacular views ! Half to say you're the man !! I know your woman ! What it took to get there, amazing.
Zion is beautiful. I passed on Angels Landing due to my fear of heights. The Narrows is a nice hike, I did it late June when water levels were lower. Love your videos, great photography!
Thank you so much!
Hi great video I’m enjoying watching thx
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Catherine Gregory you welcome.
Excellent. Don't think I'd ever be able to do something like this, even at you're age. Kudos.
Thank you Pat! It was pretty exciting.
Just found your Zion hiking video, I just did this trip at the first of July. Angels landing is the real deal. Now that I have done it I see no reason to do it again 🤗 the Narrows was also amazing. Great video and pictures
Thank you! I agree with you regarding Angel's Landing. I only needed to do it once. :)
I absolutely just flat out loved this.....loved all parts of it from the narrow trails and chains at the top to wading thru the water at the bottom....bottom part is something I have done while fishing way off the beaten track...walked thru several areas like that to get to the good fishing.....but I cannot find any words to adequately describe the beauty of this area....seems like something that should just be taken in with your eyes and felt with your being....If this area was a golf resort I can hear my friends now saying " damn that course was brutal" lol.
hahaha...it was pretty brutal. I'm glad that we went in the Fall and got to see all that beautiful color. Also, even though there were a lot of people there, I hear that's nothing compared to summer. I think Angel's Landing is something I only need to do once. I prefer to hike less crowded areas, but I'm happy to say "I did it!". Thank you.
What a stunning place….congratulations on Angel’s Landing and conquering your fear. I passed (chickened out) on it as soon as the chains appeared. Your photography is wonderful.
Thank you Karen!
Dangit! Catherine, you are killing me. I'm only 3 minutes in and I already want to go. haha Can;t wait to finish watching later tonight on the tv.
Freaking awesome hike you lucky dog you. I'm jealous! I would love to go there one day.
Thank you Jaxx!! I am lucky!! You gotta get to some of these places. I need to get out to some of your hikes, too!
