SOLO OVERNIGHT in CANYONLANDS National Park
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2021
- Come along as I hike out to Murphy Point in Canyonlands Island in the Sky District for a solo overnight camping trip. The weather makes this trip a bit of a challenge as I deal with freezing temps, strong winds and even snow flurries. All of that is worth it for the jaw dropping views from my camp on the mesa overlooking the vast red rock canyons.

• SOLO OVERNIGHT in CANY...
The music choices are so tasteful, and coupled with those sunset shots, it literally brought a tear to my eye. This is a work of art.
Your videos rival the Discovery and History channels and frankly more entertaining in my opinion............great job!
The very best years of this old river rats life was guiding the Colorado and the amazing canyons. Stunningly beautiful post sweet soul. Namaste 🕉️
Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, right next to each other, probably the most amazing views on the planet.
Another beautiful Sunday video. It's like a Sunday sermon. Calming quiet and beautiful views. 😁
How grand the view
Pinks, yellows and blues
The mountains sing
Their song of delight
The beauty of the sun
As it brightens the night
And you washed in color
Absorbing the sight
How grand and beautiful
In the evening light
Catherine, you are doing something that I wish I had the guts to do when I was young. Now, at 70+, it’s no longer possible. Who was it that said: “Fear regrets. Never fear failure.” I guess my grandmother’s saying is most true: “Too soon old, too late smart.” You are a brave young woman who is pursuing her passion. I admire that. Keep following your dream and posting your video story!
Keven, if you have the desire you can do it. In two months I will be 83 and I do this type of exploring quite often, if fact, I have been at the exact spot where Cat pitched her tent. I have had a heart attack, have had both knees replaced and have had my lower back fused. Everything hurts when I am out camping/exploring, but do you know what, everything hurts when I am "camped" in front of the TV. I have a travel trailer but haven't used it for four years since my wife passed from cancer. My preference is to travel in my 1995 GMC Suburban or my 2007 GMC Denali. I can do everything I want in either and they even give me more opportunity for back country exploring as both are 4 wheel drive. Remember, memories... not regrets or wishes! Good luck!
Stunning shots and excellent videography. Another high quality video!
The only problem I have with this video is that it wasn't longer, simply breathtaking. I can't wait to be out there one day.
Stunning shots with the shadowing of the clouds and sun...Oh what a Heavenly light! What a treat beyond comparison. As the Navajo prayer goes; "I Walk in Beauty"...
Your videos bring back the sanity in this crazy world.
Fantastic views and the sunset was great. Appreciate you braving the elements to bring these sights to us.
I am a 20 years old boy from Hong Kong, watching your videos is kind of relaxing after the hustle day, especially with the music in the video
Thank you so much!
Your Sunday videos are becoming a ritual for me. It is like going to church, except that your videos have the power of visualuzatio to remind us that there is a Creator a Master of the Universe. Your videos are a clear testimony of the magnificence. Thank you for sharing.
❤️🙏❤️
What's the old saying Catherine? When life gives you lemons, make lemonade 🙂
Thank you again for sharing.
Just add me to the list of saying magnificent views Catherine.
Spectacular scenery and beautiful views across the canyons. Your vlogs are so easy to watch peaceful and tranquil. Another brilliantly made video.
Funny isn’t it? We want clear blue skies but that doesn’t always make for good photography/videography. Nothing can compare to partially cloudy skies with the sun shining through on the landscape. Especially that one! Thanks for bringing us another stunning video!👍🙏
The calm before the...calm. Blue sky, gorgeous scenery, rainy sky; for me, to have very few or no people around negates MOST of the negative weather conditions.
I just have to tell you how enjoyable and therapeutic your videos are, across the board. The music is so soothing and wonderful and the images of nature is truly inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing this all with us. I am a big fan!
Thank you Catherine. Beautiful scenery. You are an inspiration. Have a brilliant week.
Wow what outstanding views!!
We took our youngest there in 2016 from Ohio what an epic trip
7 National parks 11 state parks 6 National monuments 21 days what a trip!!
Quite a moving experience to stand on the edge of one of those canyons .
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS VIEWS SCENERY VIDEO WEATHER FOOTAGE LANDSCAPE 👌
Hi from Germany, again I travel virtually with you, this time in my "number one" national park, which I have been to about ten times. And I can confirm that it is indescribably beautiful even when it is snowing. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
One of my favorite things before my knees went bad was solo backpacking and bush-craft. You're absolutely taking life by the reins and doing it right. One of my most favorite areas in the U.S. is Moab and Canyonlands and I love getting out there yearly and Jeeping all over the beautiful landscapes. I love doing the La Sal Mountains Loop. Wonderful sunset vid...my favorite time of the day in any desert is those few fleeting moments at Sunset, especially when there are clouds and light rain. It brings out the vibrant colors of the desert although it all fades to darkness to soon leaving me wishing for an encore and looking forward to tomorrow's dusk. Cheers Catherine. Get some!
Was watching some of your older videos and smiled at your hopes to build your channel. 53k subscribers and more. You make our world more beautiful!
Thank you so much.
I was able to take 4 days and 3 nights on White Rim Road in the canyon. Canyonlands is a magical place to explore in all 3 sectors. Thanks for taking me along with your beautiful photography
Wow! That ending shot is epic.
Mother Nature was kind to you, it could have been much worse, you handled the conditions very well Catherine, thanks for sharing.
hahaha She is as kind to us as we are to her. Mother earth isn't something to fear. She is to be embraced.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism I live near the Spanish Peaks in Colorado, the Breasts of the Earth Mother, I embrace Her everyday.
So fun. I’m off. Sold my boat and heading out in a truck camper!
Cat you know youve caught the perfect moment when the observer is surprised by a trickling tear running down their cheek...in awe of the overwhelming beauty.....thx for sharing the red rocks !!! Music was right on Cat !!
Thank you so much Jimbo! ❤️
The Four Corners region of the USA is simply spectacular. I plan to be up that way in a week or so.
Just came across your channel. I’m so happy for you that you made the choice to leave the mundane repetitive lifestyles for a life of freedom, and you chose to take us along. Wishing you the best in all your adventures.
Thank you so much!
Every video you produce is better and better. These videos with the music choices are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
such nostalgia and memories. i camped alone in canyonlands over 30 years ago. before the area became as popular and crowded. i stayed in a campground in the southern area and i was the only person there. i so miss those days of exploring that area of the country.
Your lifestyle choice and narrative reflect four great themes in literature: Beatus ille... carpe diem...locus amoenus... tempus fugit. Horace, Thoreau, Virgil... now Gregory!
Thank you much!
I did that hike a few years ago. Spent 2 weeks hiking around island in the sky district. It was the first time I’d ever camped alone and hiked alone. I loved every minute of it and it made me so happy to see you there.
Seeing nature through Catherine's eyes is always a treat.
1) The hand warmer trick for the batteries is great. My phone couldn’t hold a charge overnight last week.
2) The shot of the sunset through the front door of your tent was amazing.
3) it wasn’t the trip you intended. Sometimes those are he best and most adventurous.
Great video.
All your videos are gorgeous and the beauty is enhanced by your presence.
Good Sunday morning Catherine. The sunset view from your "front door" is amazing, as are all the others! Although I am physically challenged, I am doing my homework, and planning a trip to Moab and all the surrounding areas in early May. I will also visit Mesa Verde in Colorado. I plan on a 10 day journey. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's you, who inspired me to get back " out there" and see places I had not been yet. Love you, and be safe! God Bless. 🙏😇
The sunrise over the canyons was awesome 😁🌄
Wow! Simply amazing that all the geological formations and stunning views were created by the power of nature.
Cat's amazing video of the Canyon lands and a coffee..... life's great on a Sunday morning! Thanks for sharing!
America the beautiful. Your video was simply magnificent. That did look like a painting behind you. Thanks for the amazing splendor. Stay well. stay safe. I don't know if you can top that.
Hello Cat 😊👋what a awesome scenery 🏜⛺️ you had a very nice sunset 😊 but... We needed a blanket too, when when we saw your windy, freezy weather conditions 😂😂😂 thanks a lot again, have a great save week 😊your Berlin couple fan community 😂😘
Thank you so much!
Canyonlands national park is a special place.
Omygoodness, just incredible. Not enough words.
Spectacular scenery. Thanks for another great Sunday morning video. Sorry it was so windy. An hour to pitch your tent! The views more than made up for it. Such a great national park.
Great camera work the views awesome your best work I think yet . Wind for me is the worse and NO COFFEE . LOL Great shots
What a great way to wake up enjoying your video for a Monday morning at 4 o’clock so the moon 🌝 is cranking, so I’ve been awake this whole time but it’s so nice to see the sunsets where you’re at and the view great view. I’m glad you were able to at least get out for an overnight hike stay warm ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Some of the views look like paintings, just breathtaking. thank you
Thanks for another great video, you always do the best videos, those views are amazing, yes the clouds make it even better, and that sunrise is amazing as well. I wouldn't want to leave once I got there.
God's handy work is awesome, no doubt.
Canyonlands NP is one of our favorites. So many breathtaking views. When we would think we had seen the best, another was just around the bend.
Thank you, Cat, for sharing your journeys with us. Safe travels and God bless!
Thank you Doug!
I was just out that way for Behind the Rocks 50 on March 27, on the other side of the Colorado to your east! Lucked out so much with the weather, barely missing the snow, rain, wind. Arches was closed with a "Turn around - park full" sign. Oh well, 1st world problem. Glad you got to enjoy Canyonlands. It's such a privilege to be able to experience such amazing scenery.
We have a painting of that arch in our bedroom. Stunning area.
Your views and composition are so tantalizing. Spring weather does get unpredictable in that area. Canyonlands is so vast with magnificent views. Good for you - taking lots of water. From personal experience, I applaud your smart decision. The Chesler park area is also nice, but island in the sky gives you some outstanding canyon views. Thank you so much for taking us along!
What majestic place!! What great treasures we have here in the USA 🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing 😀😀😀😀😃
The entire 4 corners area is just fantastic.
Absolutely stunning photography and I love how low key you keep everything so that the places you travel remain the star of the show
Amazing as usual. You never disappoint. Food for my soul. Gratitude.
My hiking days are over but your vidio s help bring back sooooo many memories. Thanks for the awsome vidios again !!! You always hit it out of the park !!! God Bless & take care!!!!!
Thank you, Catherine, for bringing such beauty into my living room. 🙏🏼💕
STUNNINGGGGGGGGGGGGG WOW That Sky!!!!!!!!! OMG
Beautiful as always Katherine. You never cease to amaze me with the places and things you show us. The opening was gorgeous and it is a good thing that the sun rises and sets do not last or you could never be able to move on.
That opening shot though. 😲👏🏼❤
Those sunset shots are amazing..along with the music always seems to bring me to tears 🤷🏼♀️ Absolutely stunning. Great work.
🙏❤️🙏
Thanks for the inspiration and the art images. It takes a unique mindset to explore and create these videos🗝🎨
Stunning
Absolutely stunning the sunset was incredible
Excellent panoramic views of the area; not to mention the skies, awesome.
Good Sunday morning Miss Cat! The horizon looks amazingly distant and gorgeous! Nice excursion!!!
Thank you Catharine for sharing this incredible journey ! The views are spectacular and breath taking !!!
Canyonlands is one of the best kept secrets. I think it is because for a lot of people they find it kind of boring. The best way to see the place is backpacking witch most people who visit Nation Parks don't want to do.
Lord's willing very soon I will be able to see the sites in person...... thank you again very much for your lovely views you share!!!! Have a blessed trip.
She has the tent out oh oh just having some fun very beautiful
How many times can a person say; “WOW” or “INCREDIBLE” or “GREAT EYE”...? I guess the highest compliment I can pay you would be: I would love to find someone like you to share this journey with and see what I see through your eyes! Thanks for another great video.
Thank you so much!
Extremely peaceful🌿 and I would trade one night with you to be where you are and be surrounded by all of that💕
That is absolutely stunning....what a wonderful place to enjoy dinner. Thank you for sharing.
From the SoCal beaches ⛱ to hiking on a cold, windy, and snowing ❄ trail that leads to one of your best scenes - The Arch. What an epic shot. The lighting, color, and composition is so awesome. Thanks for sharing. Cheers 👍😀
Thank you so much Tom.
Simply put...WOW!
WOW! Beautiful stuff Rembrandt - love the shot of you in the tent. That back drop with Ramen Noodles!
The views‼️ Great videography and editing! Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you so much Jimmy.
My God what a glorious sunset, i love your videos, makes me feel I am back home.
Happy Sunday Catherine,, great video. love seeing the US through your eyes!!!!!!!!!!Dave in Ohio
Thanks Catherine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!!! Great framing, and you got that right, those backdrops don't look real, wow!!!
I think this are the places which adventures vloggers are looking for.
Venus you got it, absolutely beautiful!
Unbelievable landscape. There are no words - well stunning, but that word does not capture the beauty of that land.
After a crazy weekend running around after the grandkids I am just relishing this beautiful video. I’m hoping I can share some of theses views with my grandkids some day.
Thank you for sharing.
🙏❤️🙏
Heading to Moab this Tuesday. Five days of Slide in truck camping, mountain biking, hiking and jeeping.
Simply put Awsome, thanks for toughing it out for all of us to enjoy with you.

I like nature too much .want to ride my bike,camp fish,.he says we will travel in an rv trailer.i dont like trailers .sleep in my jeep or do a van thing.dont want crowds
Love the *spectacular* views, especially with the distant mountains. The lighting is magnificent!
Hi Cat you're a big part of why I love Sunday morning thanks again for another Zen video have a great week 😃😍♥️🌵🌲👣✌️👍
Thank you Mark! You too!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Aaaaawww that's so sweet 🥰✌️
That sunrise is stunning 😍
Love your shots of the hoodoos with the La Sal mountains in the background. It’s also breathtaking from LaSal looking down on the hoodoos. Thanks for this fun trip!!
The sunset was incredible.
I was so grateful for that spectacular sunset!
beautiful just as I imagined it, yes, the weather was so windy and cold. Glad you made it through that cold night. We had sand inside the tent too, so I know what you went through. Sunset was amazing. Mesa Arch is always great.
That sunset! Worth every step I'm sure!
Well done! My wife and I love to ride our bicycles through Canyonlands, especially the White Rim road.
