Hiking to ALL the Arches in Arches NP - in a Single Day!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2021
- We only had one day in Arches National Park. So, naturally, we decided to see if we could hike to all the arches in Arches NP in just a single day- over 20 miles and 2000FT of climbing in 100+F heat.
There is just one main road in Arches, so our goal was to do all the hikes in Arches that are along this road. For those interested, this was our hiking route:
1. Devil's Garden/Primitive Trail Loop: Includes Landscape Arch, Wall Arch, Navajo Arch, Partition Arch, Double O Arch, Private Arch, Pine Tree Arch, and Tunnel Arch
2. Walk through the Devil's Garden campground to the Broken Arch Loop Trail: also includes Tapestry Arch, Skyline Arch, and Sand Dune Arch
3. Delicate Arch out and back: includes Twisted Doughnut Arch
4. The Windows Loop: Included North Window, South Window, and Double Arch
5. Park Avenue - technically not an arch, but come on! You can't miss Park Avenue :)

What was your favorite Arch? Let us know in the comments below! ♥️
You guys are a hoot. You’re fun to watch. You’re insane running in 100degree heat. Love the Adam-cut and the earthquake comment lol!🤣
Thanks for sharing your adventures. Great stuff!!!
The Partition Arch sunrise photo was spectacular! You picked a great spot for the sun up photo op.
@@patrickwestfall1625 Thanks Patrick! It's insane how everyone congregates at the major arches like Delicate Arch for sunrise. Meanwhile, we had this all to ourselves!
@@tomplouffe7609 LOL. Why he felt the need to tell me about earthquakes midway through that slot canyon I will never know. One would think BEFORE you enter something that dicey would be a more opportune moment to mention it 😂 So glad you're enjoying the vids! Hoping to find many more Adam-cuts ahead to share with you guys!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard My most recent visit was June 2020....and you're right about the Insanity! There are so many other less visited but equally stunning locations in the park.
Love seeing all the Arches. Thanks for throwing in the Park Avenue, Lovely!
Us too, Bill! We sometimes rewatch this one just to remember how crazy awesome those arches are (though Adam's favorite thing is still that long narrow slot canyon he found!). And you know we would never leave out Park Avenue -- it's so sublime, and a great way to finish off a day of sufferfest trail running!
Arches' day time weather can be absolutely brutal. It's extremely exposed and just soaks up and radiates all that heat. But one of my favorite memories of all time is a hike out to delicate arch in the middle of the night with a group of friends. And we just sat inside the arch and watched the moon and stars for hours. As a fellow Adam, I approve of your "shortcut." Distance is shorter, not necessarily time. :D
Wow that sounds truly amazing at Delicate Arch. Tremendous idea. Can only imagine what it looked like in the moonlight. The shortcut was so cool -- a bit scary for a second at the bottom of that slot, but very memorable and unique. ❤️
Miles to go before you sleep...
To millions of people this channel should reach...,,👍
Yogesh you know the way to our hearts! Adam loves that Robert Frost poem, and even quoted it himself in one of our videos (the one where we were snowshoeing in Yosemite!) Love it! ❤️❤️
Elise kills me, "heat is my kryptonite" 10 miles later, still going strong. Thanks for taking us to another beautiful place.
Haha! I mean I was definitely struggling by the time we hit Delicate Arch. Thank the heavens for modern day AC in between the hikes! This was such a great adventure. We'd love to go back and show you guys an adventure through the Fiery Furnace!
This is MANY accomplishments all around: for doing it/attempting it. For filming it. ALL the while during 100F weather. Insane. Insane accomplishment.
Thanks so much Tommy! We really appreciate you saying that because you're right, in extreme circumstances like 100F heat, it can hard enough just to make it through the hike, and adding filming on top of that can be one tough challenge! But we're always glad looking back on the adventures and having footage to share with you guys because we really love being able to tell the tale of what happened out there!
We are totally watching 👀 you and safe travels,be careful!
Thanks Ann!
Absolutely Amazing Elise... Spectacular scenery.. WOW 🤗👍
Thank you Serge! Yes Arches is truly an incredible place. This was our first time seeing every arch, and it was pretty mind-blowing! ❤️
@@LiveHardxLoveHard absolutely no doubts Elise.. Have a great evening 🤗🍷
I just came back from hiking the moderate Observation Point via the East Mesa Trail in Zion and i was dying from the heat. That makes your hike the more impressive.
Zion! Sounds fun and painful haha. What is it out there now, like 90s? We've got some big plans for Zion, but before we do any more sufferfesting lasting more than 20 miles we'd prefer it wasn't over 100F out!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard , it was hovering around 100 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. We only did the Narrows and Observation Point. The Narrows was a zoo.
Экипировка у Элис- супер✅
В той щели, между скалами , конечно лучше проходить натощать, до приема пищи 😅❗️❤
Haha yes, some of those slots are definitely better on an empty stomach! 😂❤️
Oh we were just at Arches Nat. Park last weekend. It was awesome. We only had time for hiking up to Delicate Arch and drove around the loop to see the rest by car. So cool you guys hiked it all. I can’t wait to get back and camp maybe next time. See more. Keep up the great videos!!
Yes! And when you go next time and do Devil's Garden, make sure to take that crazy shortcut slot canyon even if you just go down it a little ways and come back. It is so cool being in there in person!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard sounds awesome I’ll give it a try if it’s not too sketchy. :)
Beautiful surreal scenery. Delicate Arch is crazy beautiful, Thanks
Yes Delicate Arch is nuts. We just sat there for like 10 minutes wondering how it could possibly exist. What a great park to spend the day in. So glad you enjoyed!
WOW , watching you Two was like watching a Movie in fast Motion. Most hikers would only do two or three Arches a day even if they went out with a Temp of 90 much less 100 plus.
You TWO were Blasting to see that many !!!
When I am out , I am lucky to get one Arch with my Camera and tripod ,, then stop and go in SLOW MOTION to suck in all the Amazing Beauty they offer !!!
Adam ,, I never had a Pop Tart till I saw you eating them ,, now because of YOU I enjoy them in on my hikes ,, Yes they are FUN and Tasty, but the hot tip is carry them in a reseal-able clear bag to mix the flavors or if you do not eat both at the same rime ..
I Thank Both of YOU ,, your AMAZING AMAZON BEASTS, Great Videos !! .
Haha thanks Bob --- you have no idea how psyched Adam is that he's got you on the Pop Tarts! It's funny you say that about filming in slow motion, because though we often end up running on these adventures, filming them has also been teaching us us how to stop and take in beautiful scenes with regularity. Before filming, we sometimes used to just run straight through a given place, enjoying the beauty but not fully basking in it. Now we're always pausing for great shots, and find that it immerses us more in the beauty of a place! ❤️
That Adam Cut was epic!!
Haha yes! Our favorite part of a spectacular day!! ❤️
Another epic hike! Nature is so amazing! Thanks for sharing...can't wait for your next adventure! 👍
Yes Elisa! That's exactly what we kept saying on this adventure -- nature is freaking amazing. Our minds couldn't even have dreamed up some of these arches if we hadn't actually seen them with our own eyes!
Who would seriously dislike this awesomeness!
Haha our thoughts exactly! How could anyone hate on Arches and people who love Arches?!? Glad you enjoyed ❤️
Love you guys videos I was there last month and I did the delicate Arch trail and I felt like Elise the heat gets to me so much . To see you guys do all the arches in one day is awesome. You guys inspire me with all this adventures. Keep doing what you guys do ☺️.
Thanks so much Dee -- awesome that you were just there! Ya the heat was brutal on Delicate Arch, and the steepness of that hike kind of sneaks up on you as well so the combination is tough. So glad you're enjoying the adventures, and can't wait to show you what we have coming up next!❤️
Loved this!! We went to Arches several years ago and Canyonlands as well. It is incredible out there and it brought back wonderful memories seeing your video. You both are inspiring. RMNP was another favorite of mine, truly beautiful. Thanks for the video!!!
Yes Jackie! We really need to do some Rockies -- that is an excellent idea. So glad you got to see both Arches and Canyonlands -- truly unforgettable places -- and that we could help bring back those fond memories!
I love Arches. One of my favorite parks. My family takes epic road trips around the country exploring the parks. The last time we were in Arches, I convinced my Mother and Father in law to hike up to Delicate Arch. They were both out of shape and through the hike questioned if they could finish in the hot 100 degree weather. They made it to the top. It was such a pleasure to see there faces of when that arch came into view. You guys are great. Dan
Dan that is amazing you go there with your folks -- what a cool thing to take epic road trips like that. I really want to take my dad on some of our hikes, and I know he could do it because he's still in good shape, but he doesn't feel confident enough for the big ones. But Delicate Arch would be perfect -- he would love that arch, and that hike! --E
Awesome! Brings back childhood memories of camping in Utah, way back before RVs were invented. Your spirit - both of you - is inspiring! Thanks.
That must have been totally amazing!! Looking up at a full sky of stars at night, and then Utah's incredible landscapes once the sun comes up. What a childhood! We're addicted and just went back to Utah again this weekend -- can't wait to show you that video this Thursday!
Love your music...lends a dreamy feel to your awesome adventures...stay safe.
Wow, thank you so much! "Dreamy" was definitely what I was going for with this song. We first used it on one of our adventures running through Joshua Trees, and these rocks seemed sort of like the mineral equivalent of Joshua Trees - sort of other worldly and unreal. So glad that you caught that vibe!
I love all the arches❣️ What a beautiful place. You two have such stamina & energy!!! I look forward each week to see what you will be sharing with us!
Thank you for taking us on your journey.
PS… Tell Adam I had a pop-tart today! It’s been years since I had one.
Stay safe & healthy! God forbid any Earthquakes.
Yes Debbie! I almost had a pop-tart myself but then decided to be good and had a bowl of Grape-Nuts Flakes instead. But the Pop-tart is still in my mind! So glad you liked the Arches video -- we really had a great time exploring that place -- especially when we went off trail through the slot canyon! --A
Wonderful Views, amazing place. Thanks for sharing all your aventures.
It's definitely our pleasure, Antonio! Very glad you liked this one. It was a different kind of adventure for us, but we really enjoyed it and want to some similar things in the future!
You two duo are perfect in every way!
Aw thank you -- what a very kind thing to say!
Fantastic per usual ya'll. Most of the time, it's difficult to get this kind of stuff by yourselves and you end up shooting creatively to make it look like you're all alone ... but you all actually were all alone. Love it! Thank you for the great tips as always. :)
Haha thanks Jamie, and don't worry -- we did have to do a little creative shooting at Delicate Arch! Most of the arches we truly did have to ourselves since we started early, went fast, and took primitive trails, but that one gets pretty crowded and since we didn't do it first thing, we definitely had to work around others to get those shots. Very glad you liked this one -- amazing place!!
This is so impressive dear Adam and Elise! A great hiking to all the Arches in Arches NP in a single day! You are so energetic, tireless, adamant, relentless and inspiring! You are an awesome couple an you indeed have and love a very adventurous life! This was an awesome hike, you do like great challenges! Much respect for your dedication! We are also very much determined but rather in arts! Thanks for sharing this awesome experience with us! We joined your inspiring channel! With warm greetings and kind wishes, Alex and Alexandra
Wow thank you so much guys for those wonderfully supportive words! How great that you guys are artists -- we have so much respect for that, and will definitely check out your work! We do all our own music for our channel as well, and are learning how very difficult it is. Much respect to you!
Wow the most beautiful ever, thank you💕♥️💚💜💖🧡❣️💝❤️❤️💗💛🤍
Aw, yes Arches is one of the most beautiful places in the US. Especially if you can go during golden hour either very early at dawn or at sunset. We love how the rocks change colors throughout the day depending on how the sunlight hits them!
Well done, guys! Beautiful job!
Thanks Morgan!! Miss you, and can't wait to tell you about some of these adventures in person!!!
You are my inspiration.Thank you.
Thank you so much -- that makes us very happy to hear! ❤️
Gorgeous area, so special to have so much of it to yourselves, wow. Hoping you bring along some good electrolyte mixes. Thanks for taking us along. 👍
Thank you, and it's so funny you say that because we usually have good electrolytes with us and we didn't on that day in Arches!!! Of course we stopped and got some that night when we got back to Moab, but it was definitely an oversight on our part not to have them with us on a day that hot when we went through gallons of water.
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Of course, Murphy's Law, but you guys did great. I've never been very heat tolerant, worse as I get older, nothin' but respect for you guys.
WOW you guys…. Thanks for another great “tour” ! I love all your adventures and your energy!
Aw, thank you so much! We really love sharing our adventures with like-minded people, because it just creates such a positive feedback loop, and gives us inspiration to keep trying new and interesting things that we can share with you guys. So happy that you liked this one, and excited to show you a few of the crazy ones we have coming up!
Agreed!
Breathless OMG!
Yes! This place is amazing, right?!? We honestly couldn't even believe some of these arches and we were standing right there!!
I have always loved the content in your channel.
I get scared at times seeing you guys flying down cliffs.
Do take care of yourself.
Good luck with your channel.
Aw thank you so much Akhil! We live for this kind of adventure, but we promise we will keep doing our best to be careful. Appreciate all your support!
Truly awesome. Looking forward to getting there someday. Been to Yosemite many, many years ago and your videos from there are incredible. Greetings from Australia. Cheers.
Thank you -- we LOVE getting greetings from Australia, which is very high up on our own travel bucket list. Truly hope you do get a chance to visit Arches -- there's nowhere else like it. Cheers!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Forgot to also add that the quality of your videos is exceptional. Thank you.
Amazing quality. Your videos give me and my wife ideas on future hikes. Keep it going!
Now that is what we love to hear!!!! Please let us know when you do one that we inspired -- especially if you guys love it! -- because that always makes us feel super happy and like we're doing something that makes a difference!
Arches Park all to yourselves, I envy you two. Great video with great cinematography as usual.
Thanks so much, George! It definitely helped to start before dawn, and go on a weekday, and take the primitive trails. We'd definitely recommend all three of those steps for both hikers and photographers who want to capture the arches in their full natural glory.
An Adam cut!!!! Hahaha I love it. So beautiful there! Miss that place! Love that you guys did so many in one day and can’t believe that heat! You guys are troopers! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes Arielle!!! Next time you go, we'll tell you exactly how to find that crazy off-trail slot canyon. Take Marco -- he will love it!!! --A
There's some really amazing hikes over in Escalante in UT. Lots of beautiful stuff there.
You're definitely getting us stoked for some more Utah adventures!! ❤️
You guys are awesome !!!!!
Aw thanks so much Chuck! Looking back on this, that insane heat was totally worth it for just an amazing day exploring as much as we could of this beautiful NP!
I really want to say a big thanks for your channel, just so much joy and beauty of nature. I walked a fair bit in California in summer of 79 (yes it's a while ago now!) Thanks for expanding my knowledge, your videos are beyond excellent. Comin at ya from snowy river country in Australia, we had terrible fires here so I hope you are ok there now 😘
Oh my gosh, so sorry to hear about the fires. But very excited to hear that you're viewing us all the way from Australia. We've been wanting to come over there for a long time, and probably would have been already if it weren't for COVID. Thank you so much for that wonderful compliment. It really means a lot to us to have other nature lovers be part of this community. Looking forward to bringing you lots more exciting California adventures in the months and years to come! 🤗
@@LiveHardxLoveHard consider me a signed up fan! I am working with nature as a healer of anxiety and depression, we are so disconnected from what really matters. I hope you can get here at some point and New Zealand too where I was born. Weird times right now though. Keep on adventuring, life passes kind of fast - that has taken me by surprise. Lovely to hear from you 🤩
Just discovered you two and I am obsessed with your videos and you both ❤😊
Aw wow thank you so much Nicole! We are so happy you found us somehow, and even happier that you are enjoying the videos. Can't wait to share all the adventures ahead with ya!
Wow!!! Absolutely amazing!
Thank you -- so glad you enjoyed it! Arches is definitely a place that everyone should experience at least once if possible.
What a great idea for a video! Another place I have always wanted to go. Now after seeing your video, I hope to go soon! It's amazing how so many arches appear in one area. There are some interesting arches in the Alabama Hills outside of Lone pine, but nothing compare with Arches NP.
Yes David! We have seen some of the Arches in Alabama Hills -- one of our all-time favorite car-camping spots -- and love them. But as you say, Arches is just a whole other world and it is absolutely mind-bending. You seriously must go. It's not that far (esp if you drive fast!), and as long as you go on a weekday the crowds aren't even that bad.
很美的风景，谢谢分享！
Hope you get to visit here, Andy -- it's one of the most spectacular places in the whole U. S.!
My favorite was landscape Arch!!! I need to check this spot out I wish I would have Checked it out when I was at Zion!! Keep up the great content and as always stay safe guys!
Yes, please do go to Arches -- it is so incredible in person. We absolutely promise you will not regret it, and you will never forget it!!❤️
Fantastic video! My favorite so far. The scenery is incredible. What a spectacular Park. Watching Adam is like seeing a kid in a candy store, who needs to be constantly reigned in. Elise, you are the perfect partner who is better at assessing the risk involved. But, of course, Adam always says "we can do it!" Here's my suggestion for a future challenge: traversing the High Sierra from east to west. I know you can do it!
Yes, Gar. Now you understand what it's like living with Adam. I think of it as living with a giant puppy, but a kid in a candy store is also accurate. 😂 So happy you liked this one. It was a really beautiful place to film and we were hoping that would come out well on the camera. Meanwhile, traversing the High Sierras is a brilliant idea, and a bucket list item for us for sure.
Absolutely stunning 😍😍
Thanks Kristy! We are still fascinated by how nature managed to create something like this. Standing beneath those massive arches is simultaneously awe-inspiring and perplexing!
Hey guys - wow you did it - respect. Always nice watching you guys on your journey. :-) We miss the landscape of the Western US and you always bring a little bit of that to our living room. So thanks a lot.
Thank you so much! We can't even imagine how much we'd miss it here if we moved away, but very glad to bring you some tastes of Western adventure!
That great! You guys captured some beautiful footage on those primitive trails! Nice job as aways!
Thanks so much Paul! Golden hour is a whole different level in Arches. We really love how the rocks change colors throughout the day depending on the light. So glad you enjoyed this one!
Awesome Guys!! Loved it!
So glad you enjoyed this one! Totally different kind of adventure but definitely a memorable experience (will DEFINITELY not forget squeezing through that narrow slot canyon and then the moment of terror when Adam mentioned the possibility of an earthquake. Doh! 😂) Utah is really something special!
Another marvelous video，congrats! Visited Arch NP once many years go with family and friends. After watching your video, man, I definitely would like to visit it soon hiking the routes you guys did. Plus, blue skies and white clouds，I have no resistance to them!
Haha thanks Andy, and definitely you should do the primitive trail and take our "Adam-cut" though that crazy slot canyon. We're still slightly shocked that that route actually worked out for us, but it was totally unique and for sure one of our best memories of the whole day. You will love it!
I was just there a couple of months ago and hiked the primitive trail. There were lots of people on that trail with me. There were a few spots where people were helping each other over rocks, otherwise, I and most others could not have completed the trail.
Steve you should have taken Adam's "shortcut"! Just kidding -- that crazy climb down from the end of the slot canyon was super dicey. You're right, the primitive trails aren't always easy to navigate, but on the upside we think they're definitely more fun and less crowded than the main trails! ❤️
One day we’ll make it there. It’s so beautiful. Thanks for bringing us with you🥰
It's truly our pleasure and joy to bring you on these adventures, Stephanie. And you must and will make it to Arches -- you simply won't believe it when you see it in person!!!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard we were planning to make it pre-pandemic but had to cancel. We’ll make it for sure soon soon🥰
The lady is breath taking. The scenery is a close second.
Thank you so much -- what a kind thing to say!
That place looks amazing! Thanks for sharing
Yes! You guys would definitely love Arches -- incredible place to hike, and incredible place to capture on camera. Best of both worlds!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard awesome! Would love to go there and make some videos one day for sure
Absolutely MAGICAL tour of the Arches! You guys are so DAMN cute! Keep the adventures rolling!
Aw! Thank you so much Abra. With encouragement like that, how could we NOT keep the adventures rolling?!
I've given up trying to guess how you guys will top your last video! Somehow it just keeps getting better with you two! The music is also getting more expressive... Keep going! Those sunrise shots through the arches and your course overlays are amazing value added touches! Loved Adams nap spot and the Adam-cut!
Thanks Paul! Stoked you liked this one. The Adam-cuts sometimes get mixed reviews (occasionally people feel they are too risky), but I was super proud of this one because that slot canyon was so damn cool and in everything I read about Arches I never saw anyone mention its existence, so it was a true surprise discovery on our part. Well worth a bit of extra risk!! --A
I hate watching you guys bang out these hikes; makes me address the fact that I am now a pathetic wimp!! Haha. Jogging up that slab of rock heading to Delicate Arch!!! The last two times I was at Arches; I "pushed it" to get there by sunset and it was a kick-butt 23 minute fast walk. The heat...yes; on the exposed rock slab in the Summer is no joke.
Haha don't worry, we stopped running up right after that shot on the slab because I got queasy from the heat! Your 23 minutes up was probably faster than our time 😂❤️
Amazing video
Thanks Angel! So happy you liked it. It was a different kind of adventure for us, but one we definitely enjoyed!!
Arches is one of my favorite areas. So fun to see you guys visiting places I’ve been and getting your take on them. Not sure I would fare much better in that heat.
Yes Stephen! We always feel the same way, it's so interesting to hear how other people go about trekking through a place that you've been or intend to go. And yeah, the heat was really rough, but at least we had the opportunity to return to the car a few times and get more water and cool off a bit between the different trails. Otherwise it honestly might have gotten a little dangerous.
Love the Arches trip...saw some spots in the vid I'd never seen before, very cool. Bryce Canyon is our favorite Utah Park...once again you guys have rocked it! OK, Pun intended!
Yes Bill! We love Bryce, and are trying to come up with some sort of plan for how we could do a sufferfest through there (already have a plan for Zion involving Angel's landing and the entire West Rim trail). Stoked we were able to show you some stuff you hadn't seen. If you ever go again, definitely check out that slot canyon that Adam found on the other side of private arch - it was utterly incredible in person!
Amazing Views!!
Right?!? Arches is really one of a kind -- especially in the early morning light! Highly recommend starting it before dawn if you ever get the chance -- both for the golden hour light and for the opportunity to be all alone with some of those majestic arches.
Great video! The Utah Grand Circle is on my bucket list!
I definitely recommend Mount Rainier- has the most beautiful hikes I’ve ever been on and the weather would be a lot nicer there even at peak summer time. Also, I would recommend cross country skiing. North Cascades has some lovely trails
Yes Siri!!! Rainier is right at the very top of our list -- we just have to carve out time to get up there. But we're definitely going to do it. Skiing is a great idea -- we've been thinking about getting into some ski mountaineering for a couple of years now, and this just might be the year to start. And agreed --Cascades are gorgeous! Adam grew up in WA, and has fantastic memories of hiking up there.
That footage looked amazing streaming to my 4k TV. So much that I'm going to watch it again. Thank you! The framing, color and clarity were almost as good as some of Catherine Gregory's videos. She films stationary most of the time with high end equipment, so it's not really a fair comparison.
WOW. That is a major compliment. We know her videos and you are right, she does use really nice camera gear (along with being very talented). We know we have to sacrifice a bit of quality in order to keep our gear extremely lightweight AND be able to stabilize it while running and climbing, but for us the top priority is the adventure so for right now we're willing to make that trade. But really means a lot that you said that... we've been working hard learning how to maximize the quality with what we do have :) Thank you!
Super cool!
Thanks! Love Utah -- you just want to keep exploring, because it seems like there's always something amazing right around the next corner.
Definitely putting this place on my list. You guys killed it. I really appreciate you showing the map as you go. Thumbnail doesn't even look real. I hear Sedona has some awesome trails.
Stay Frosty 😎👍
Thank you so much! And, YES, Sedona is sick. Check out our vid of Capitol Butte- one of our favorite hikes ever, and a very uncrowded Sedona hike because it's so much more difficult than the other popular climbs, but worth it!
Great video as usual! U2 are super human! Keep the vids going. U slways tell a great story
You are always so kind to us, thank you so much for being so encouraging! It means a lot that you enjoy the stories - we always hope with these vids that the true story comes across and that you really feel like you experienced the journey with us. As long as our bodies allow, we will definitely keep sharing many more adventures to come!
Your production is top notch! Only a matter of time until you absolutely blow up!!!!
Thanks Zachary! We've really been working on our technical skills, and so happy to hear it's coming together!!❤️
Nice run through some gorgeous arch trails under some brutal temperature's . nice squeeze play through some tight spots made it bye a half of a pop tart ❤️u guys
Hahaha by half a pop-tart for sure Raymond! I though Elise was pretty harsh with that pop-tart bust, but it was definitely funny. Plus, I guess she owed me for making her take that "Adam-cut" in the first place! --A
@@LiveHardxLoveHard 😄❤️
Your videos are awesome 👏🏼
Wow thank you so much Ashish! Really glad we got to share a little bit of the arches heaven with you guys. All those miles in that crazy heat were DEFINITELY worth it!
well i've been to arches but not like that! this was so cool. Your endurance skills are insane. 20 miles is one thing, in 100 degree weather, that's beyond elite! My favorite hike there was going to delicate arch and not coming back until after midnight, hiking in the moonlight.
Wow, thank you so much! And what a great idea hiking to delicate arch in the moonlight. That must have been spectacular. We never ever thought of doing that, but now that you put it in our heads, a night trip to Arches could be incredibly cool, especially with a full moon!
Thank you Elise and Adam!! Love all your adventures and beautiful music from Elise. So positive, you two seem to fly - it is always fun to watch. Great camera work, too.
Wow Kymry thank you so much! We've really been working hard on improving our camera skills (and music-making skills!), and it's really gratifying to hear that it's starting to pay off. We truly appreciate you letting us know that.❤️
another awesome adventure! Thanks for taking us all along! Along these lines, I would suggest either a Grand Canyon "Rim to Rim" hike, or even a down and back hike in a day such as taking South Kaibab trail down and Bright Angel back up to the south rim. I started at 5am on that one, and by about 10:30am on the way out began to see scores of people coming down Bright Angel.
Jeff, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the Arches adventure. And you must be reading our minds because the R2R or, even better, the R2R2R is top of our list right now. It was actually one of the most recommended adventures by you guys. We are currently debating whether our bodies can handle R2R2R, but either way, it's going to be a spectacular adventure. Sounds like you've gotten to do some fun exploring in that area. Thanks so much for the recommendation!
This was awesome guys!! It would be really cool to see a video of you both going through the equipment you guys like to use! Like which hiking shoes you both wear, trekking poles, etc
Yes Simran! That video is definitely coming -- we're going to do all the gear we use on ultra-light sufferfest hikes!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard wooo!! Super excited !! I love watching you both on my free time, my absolute favorite channel on UA-cam ❤️❤️
Well done guys! That heat can really zap your energy. I usually only go to the arches during the cooler weather because it can get wicked hot there in the summer. The beauty there makes you not want to leave though. Hope you guys enjoyed your time there, and maybe you saw some cool lizards. 😄🦎
Yes! We did see some cool lizards. Thankfully, they weren't snakes, otherwise Adam would have bolted 😂 And you are right to go in the cooler weather. That 104F was ROUGH! But still worth it because it's just so incredible there.
I'm going with "twisted doughnut" arch--should've brought some of those on your expedition! 20+ miles, heat, and altitude, and you make it look SO easy. Love you!
Well, now, how did I know that arch would be your favorite? 🤔 We definitely should have had donuts with us on that particular part of the climb, maybe it would have prevented my near death experience! Would you like to come along next time and be the official "donut-bringer" ? Maybe we'll go when it's cooler out. Think you and mom would love it here. ♥️
Very cool! The lighting at the beginning was beautiful for filming. I really want to make it out to Arches someday.
Yes! Golden hour in Arches is almost unreal! You would love trail running here - you'd fly right by all the crowds!
Great video! I love Moab but I drive from Colorado and mountain bike there either in the spring and fall , sometimes winter but never in the heat that you guys did. 21 miles in the brutal heat you both are beasts!!!
Wow, mountain biking in this area sounds AWESOME. We were actually talking about that as we were driving out because we saw that incredible looking bike path and were doing some research into where it leads. Sounds like it can take you on some epic rides in the area. We were thinking if we ever get injured or have a time where we need to lay off the intense running for a while, some mountain biking in Moab is what we would do! How's it in winter? We'd love to visit at that time of year.
"Shortcuts lead to long delays...." famous off trail hiker's motto. A great video! Last year I was out that way and didn't have time to do Moab/Arches. Now I want to go back, but not in August!
Haha that saying was right on the money for sure, Gary! But seriously, that slot canyon was well worth the delay, and you should definitely check out that "Adam-cut" route when you go. It's just past Private Arch, and soooo cool in person!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Probably not, my partner isn't keen on class 4/5 scrambles. However I will take all of the primitive trails. We did that at Bryce and Needles/Canyonlands and seemed like we had the park to ourselves.
@@garyp.7501 Sounds perfect! And you can always go a couple dozen yards into the slot just for the experience and then come back out the same way and continue on the regular primitive trail.
Enjoying long trail arch
We were just talking about the arches today -- we already want to go back!
Love your music taste. You need to visit Zion NP close by, that is definitely a hikers paradise
So happy you're liking the music! We only started writing songs a few months ago, so obviously still have a lot of improving to do, but we're having a blast with it. Meanwhile, a Zion sufferfest is definitely going to happen! Probably this fall, so stay tuned for that one!!
You two are just insane! Hiking (running) in 100+ temperatures! I was there years ago and you bring me back! I love seeing the arches once again! When I was there it was in September and the temps were not as hot as what you two endured! Probably in the 80's. I recall two things I did, Park Avenue, where we met a young woman who camped out in her tent there and she hiked along with my friend Harry and I. What a brave woman! Also, Delicate Arch with the steep bowl I had to hike around to get to the arch. I was very careful not to fall there! You two scare the heck out of me the way you both run around on the rocks! I'm so afraid you two might trip and fall! Thanks for the great video and be careful! The one place I did not go to was the Fiery Furnace area. If I get back there, I would love to see it!
Thanks Joseph! You were definitely wise to go in September -- the summer temperatures made hiking the whole thing more difficult than it needed to be (but still totally worth it for those insane views!). Awesome about Park Avenue and that camper. Funny how almost no one actually hikes down into it -- they just stand at the top and take pictures. But the hike down into it is really what gives you the feel of those monolithic structures all around you. We'd like to see Fiery Furnace too -- please let us know how you like it if you go!
Your monstrousness just keeps on increasing! LOL The entire state of Utah should be designated a NP. You could probably hike it in 2 weeks.))) Capitol Reef was my favorite - driving thru it last Nov., I had tears streaming down my face - it was just so incredibly beautiful and spiritually magical.
Wow Ed that is an awesome recommendation. OK, Capitol Reef is definitely going on the list -- we've never been there, but now have to go!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Thanks you guys! "...these things close in on us - we're done for." "Why are you telling me that?" "I'm just telling you..." I was laughing so hard!! That's up there with the "step on a baby" quote. The entire drive on route 12 from Bryce, to rt. 24 at Torrey, then E. to Hanksville, and S. on rt. 95 - is one of the most incredible drives I've ever been on. Off 95 N. of Blanding is also Natural Bridges National Monument. An hour S. of Blanding is Monument Valley - VIVA UTAH!!! My favorite State. Try to go in the Fall, when the leaves are changing, and the cottonwoods and aspen are ablaze with color - and it's not 104 F.))). I was on my move to the E. coast, and planned to go thru Monument, then to Albuquerque to visit a friend - but NM was shut down due to COVID - so had to backtrack up to I-70 to cross the Rockies. It took me thru Moab and past Arches, but my timetable wouldn't let me stop. Thanks to you - I now feel as if I've seen the park on my own 2 feet. Bless you both, Adam & Elise! Sorry for the long comment - 1 more thing - are you familiar with the couple that do the SUV RVing website? They remind me of you guys (maybe not so hard-core) - but that guy goes everywhere, and makes great videos - you might get some other ideas of places to check out. Walk Hard!
Hahaha yes Ed -- in retrospect Elise is laughing at that exchange too, but not so much at the time!!! You must be reading our minds, because we've been discussing a Fall Utah trip -- maybe Zion, and also Bryce if we can come up with an interesting and "sufferfesty" way to do it. Now you've got us thinking about Monument Valley as well. Will def check out SUV RVing -- sounds like our kind of site for sure!❤️
Have been watching your videos and couldn’t resist to hit the subscribe bottom after watching this one. Welcome to Utah!
Wow, thank you so much, we are seriously so happy to have you along for the adventures!! Do you live in Utah? We were bummed this trip that we only had such a short time while passing through to CO, but we can't wait to go back for more exploring. Someone just mentioned that the entire state of Utah should be a national park, and we couldn't agree more!
I live in Salt Lake City. You guys should try Kings peak next time, the highest peak in Utah!
Yes! Just looked that up right now and it looks incredible - also the Kings-Emmons ridge run is quite alluring. Thanks for the awesome tip!
Loved this one! I love red rock Utah!! My sweetheart and I will be headed out to Capitol Reef and Zion in a couple weeks! I can’t pick a favorite arch, well, South Window was pretty awesome, I’d pick that one! They were all awesome especially with no crowds around!
Yes Rhonda! That was Adam's favorite too. Have a great time at Zion!! We're thinking of going out there later this year too -- maybe for an Angel's Landing-West Rim sufferfest! Let us know if you find any must-do adventures!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard observation trail is an awesome hike. Unfortunately closed at this time due to rock fall, but I think you can come around from another direction but not as strenuous.
Loved this video. We went to Arches National Park last year and it was spectacular. It was so great to relive it with you guys. My suggestion: come to Breckenridge Colorado. We’ll be there end of month and would love to meet you guys and maybe hike a little.
Thank you so much Veronika! So glad you've gotten to experience Arches for yourself :) And YES to all things CO. You are so lucky to live there. We just spent a few weeks in Aspen but we really need to spend like basically months in CO because there's sooo much we would love to do there. And it would be awesome to meet you! What are some of your favorite hikes in the Breckendrige area?
Unfortunately we are not that lucky to live in Breck. We live in Florida. Last year after Arches we drove to Breck and we fall in love with it. We went there for a winter trip since then and we are going back again at the end of august. I’m still in the planning stage of where to hike. Open to ideas if you guys have any. ;)
We've heard that the lakes trails around there -- esp Mohawk lakes -- are incredibly beautiful, and that the views from the top of Quandary Peak are insane. Those would prob be our first two choices!
Thank you very much. I checked Mohawk Lakes and we will try to do that hike. It looks stunning. Thanks again.
Fantastic !!! I love Arches :-)
Us too! It's endlessly fascinating to think about how they were shaped over eons of erosion, and how so many could occur in one place!
I have run the loops in Bryce Canyon National park. This one was awesome! So beautiful! Best to save that for other seasons lol. Another hike no permits (I think still the case) is white mtn. Keep road to the top! Can camp at grand view night before. Love your videoes. I am starting your abs one. That one was great too. 👍
Yes Cheryl! We've run Bryce as well -- such an incredible place. And we actually did do White Mountain a few weeks ago, along with a couple bonus ridge traverses. Didn't camp, but drove up at dawn and it was gorgeous. So happy you're liking the videos!!
That is awesome. It was raining when we were there. Always took the back trails. Favorite arch was Mesa Arch in Canyon Lands at sunrise. I'm sure you did that.
Wow, rain would make that rock so slippery. Definitely would have been harder to do some of the scrambling we did. But sounds like you had fun regardless! We have done Mesa Arch before for sunrise (didn't have time to make it to Canyonlands on this trip) and agree it was definitely gorgeous. That whole area of Canyonlands is really something special at sunrise.
wow very nice
Thanks much. We hope that you get a chance to visit Arches one day -- it is truly incredible in person.
I did this in 2020. Incredible place. I missed some of the smaller arches I didn't really care about though lol.
That's awesome -- was definitely harder than we expected to do all those trails, but totally worth it. As you know, a pretty magical place! ❤️
Every time I think that you've made a great video, you outdo yourselves. 100+ degrees? A great accomplishment.
Thanks for a great adventure. Arches and Canyonlands are old haunts of this old Geologist.
The Entrada Sandstone is almost as beautiful as Elise or as iconic as Adam. I hope that you guys celebrated with a beer in Moab.
If you are still out there try the Shaefer trail. I rafted Cataract Canyon many times........just love that country.
You seriously had the best job ever -- going to so many cool places and getting paid for it! We're back from that trip already, but Shaefer trail looks dope and we will definitely put it on the list for next time, because we're getting obsessed with Utah. Meanwhile, we not only had celebratory beers but also some fantastic Mediterranean food in Moab -- the dining options there are not bad at all!
@@LiveHardxLoveHard After sweating out on a 20 mile hike in Moab heat, I like to devour a bag of Cheetos! Gotta replenish the lost salt. Seriously.
@@LiveHardxLoveHard Appreciate the reply! There are tons of great trails in Canyonlands Natl Park. Check out the map. Also check out Upheaval Dome on Google Earth (the people thin out by mid-September, so might make for a good video).
Yes, I did a ton of seismic imaging work in the area in my younger days. Many of the big rock folds that you see are a result of salt flowing over millions of years; or volcanics (The La Sal Mts south of Delicate Arch; and Abajo Mts due south of Moab are volcanos).
Wow, what a treat this one was! Seriously, I live for your guys videos, lol!! I learned what an Adam-cut is, and Elise said ‘vertiginous’ again, lol. I live in AZ, hike all the time, and have hiked in extreme heat conditions (in Phoenix all thru the summer, hottest I did was 117, yes I’m nuts). You must be acclimated to it, but looks like you guys did great, as usual. As for suggestions, if you’re thinking about the PNW, you might consider the Olympics. Take care and be safe!
Whoa 117 is crazy! Bet you went through a lot of water on that day. Adam once did a very short run in 128 in Death Valley just to say he'd done it, but he was red in the face for like 3 hours after. So glad you're liking the videos, and the Olympics is a great idea. We've been wanting to head north and do Rainier anyway, and Olympics would fit in perfectly with that trip.
That's insane to hike over 20 miles at 100 degrees F. Great job!
Haha! Not gonna lie, we definitely questioned our sanity at various points throughout the day. Thank god for modern day air conditioned cars to get us from one trailhead to the next!
Thank you for speed hiking my favorite park. If I could take a month off to explore Utah, most of that month would be in Arches.
Right?!? Arches is seriously the craziest natural landscape that is relatively accessible. Although don't forget Zion and Bryce for your month in Utah! We love Zion, and will probably try to do a sufferfest there sometime in the next month or two.
@@LiveHardxLoveHard All three are real gems for sure, Arches just happens to be my favorite. Yes, please speed hike Zion, just be careful if you do Angels landing.
Super cool. I'd like to see more Adam-cuts :)
You have no idea how stoked you just made Adam right now. You just made his whole year. If only we could make an entire video of off trail Adam-cuts, he'd be happy forever 😂 So glad you're on board!
Love your videos so much, have seen all of them. Such an inspiration, when I’m not hiking out there these videos make me feel like I am. Keep it up & I love your voice Elise.
Wow Dina we're really honored that you've seen all our videos! (Sorry for how sloppy some of the earlier ones are -- we were just learning as we went). It means so much to us that we can make you feel like you're hiking even on days when you're stuck inside -- that's really what it's all about for us is just sharing the joy of the adventure with people who love the outdoors as much as we do. And of course, Elise is SUPER psyched that you're liking the songs and lover her voice -- that definitely made her night!❤️
You missed going to Fiery Furnace. Next time you're in Arches, get a permit to there. It's like a playground of rock formations. There are a few arches in that area also. Great vid btw.
Thanks Ty -- we're dying to do Fiery Furnace, and will def get a permit for it next time. Great reason to go back!
My favorite NP!
Great choice! It's truly amazing. For our tastes the Yosemite-Sequoia area is probably still our favorite, but these Utah Parks are drawing us further and further into their mystical web!
I went to monument valley in 2019 (didn’t take the pic in my profit pic though) but we went down to New Mexico instead of seeing the other parks in Utah. Sort of regret that now… Utah looks so amazing. Anyway, you guys are awesome, love your music and content.
Thanks Mark! Very happy you're liking the music -- it's something we've been working hard to develop, and very glad to hear it's going the right direction! Meanwhile, yes Utah is incredible. We've gone exploring in the state four times now, and are only just scratching the surface! Already making plans for what we'll do on the next Utah trip!!
