24 Hours at Capitol Reef National Park | Hickman Bridge, Navajo Knobs, Cassidy Arch, PIE, & more!
Рет қаралды 100,152
Күн бұрынWe only had 24 hours to spend at Capitol Reef National Park (our 35th National Park! Woo! 🎉) and while we originally thought that would be enough, we quickly learned that this park deserves so much more time. But we didn't let our limited time stop us from squeezing in as much as humanly possible into our 24 hours, including multiple hikes, historical sights, delicious treats, and more!

Hi Guys, another great video!! @ 8:31, Adam said, "This place is underrated!" It certainly is but your hikes to different places and the scenery help demonstrate what's available. My wife and I visited a couple decades ago and while we did some hiking, it wasn't strenuous. We still enjoyed the park but didn't see some of the things you saw. We stayed overnight (we "camp" at hotels) two nights so we had a full day+ and came to your same conclusion--the park deserves multiple days. Thanks as always for showing the wonderful scenery you see from your fantastic hikes!

Merin Smith Place/Orchard is my Grandpa & Grandmother's place that you show in your video. Our family loves spending lots of time in Fruita due to the beauty and family history there. My grandmother Cora Oyler went to school in the cute little Fruita school house. Grandma's parents raised her in Fruita, her father Tine Oyler is known for managing the fruit orchards. Grandma was the longest resident of Fruita before she and other families were kicked out when the national park was created. The paved highway was built over where her house once stood. I enjoyed your video, glad you got to enjoy our little slice of heaven called Capitol Reef. 💕🙂💕

Watching your video reminded me why I love that park so much; it's at the top of my "love" list along with Needles District of Canyonlands. We had always visited in October and there are not that many tourists so you feel like you have the park to yourself. When we were there 2 years ago, however in April, we drove to Capital Gorge and I hated seeing all the cars in the parking lot but we had already done the gorge hike and were doing the Golden Throne hike which started in that area, too. We did Hickman Arch in the snow quite a few years back during the first week of November. The park was gorgeous with the snow on the red rocks! And I laughed at your comment about the "tree" on Cassidy Arch because, guess what, we did rappel down from there and then continued with the guide through the canyon with additional rappels. My husband asked the guide about the tree being safe to rappel from and he said: "5 and alive"; if it's 5 inches in diameter and alive, it's safe! lol
@AdventuresofAplusK 3 жыл бұрын
We LOVED the Needles! Cannot wait to share a video from there soon-ish! We will say, Capitol Reef was busier than we thought it would be, especially that Capitol Gorge area...yikes, but thankfully we did get to have a lot of solitude too! Snow would be amazing though! And 5 and alive is hilarious, you're much braver than us!

Our favorite hike was Hickman Bridge & the Rim Overlook. We spent at least an hour eating lunch and enjoying the view at the overlook. Then we went and had that great apple pie at the Gifford house. It's a great park - one of our favorites! Thanks for the great video of the park.

Absolutely loving your Utah series! You motivate me to hop on the elliptical and exercise so I can watch your videos! Also, making a bucket list, hoping to visit Utah again soon. Looking forward to your adventures in Moab. Have you made it to Canyonlands yet??? If not, I highly recommend the White Rim Trail and Upheaval Dome hikes. The end of White Rim Trail has probably the best panoramic view I've ever experienced! We were there last summer and it was so breathtaking! Also ❤ that you guys have 🌮 and 🍦 so much.. you're my kind of people!

Whoa, as if you guys have visited 35 National Parks already!!! This video brought back so many good memories. I think because I was in Capitol Reef much more recently than Bryce, this video got me a little emotional, excited to see it again, sad that I have no idea when I can get back out stateside! I loooved the music selection in this video too, brings back memories of previous videos of yours but couldn't put my fingers on which ones - so happy and upbeat though! 🥳 The views from Navajo Knobs were all kinds of amazing. No the wonder why you were so knackered, you guys got up so high! Your experience of Cassidy Arch was very different to ours. The colour on the rocks due to sunrise was all kinds of beautiful. They'd sold out of pies when we made it to the Gifford Homestead. Listening to your description was difficult! 🤦♀️😔... then you went and bought a second one! The apple pie looked more like an Apple crumble. Is that something you guys have over in the US? Very jealous that you also got to go into the school house - it was closed when we visited! You guys really did cram tonnes into your visit. Definitely did more than us and we had a day and a half, no the wonder why you were zonked by the end. 25:22 🤣 not gonna say any more about that! 🤣🤣

Your videos gave us so many ideas of things to do, so a BIG thank you! It was fun to walk in your footsteps there (and at Arches and Canyonlands...we have talked about you tons the last few weeks!). So bummed you didn't get pie though, you'll just have to come back 😉 The top definitely reminded us of an apple crumble! Oh my gosh I was so embarrassed. There was a guy behind us witnessing the whole thing and somehow Adam did not care (usually people seeing us film makes us both MEGA nervous and awkward) 😂

Super enjoyed this video. It was really nice to see Capitol Reef get some love. Crazy that you only scratched the surface too but what you did show was beautiful. I agree that ‘underrated’ is great term for this park. It seems to always be listed last in the Mighty 5 rankings but you showed that it deserves more attention. I went here as a young teenager and don’t remember a thing from this park. Maybe some brief fragments of the Fruita Orchard but that is it. Your video has me excited for a return trip whenever that may occur. I am planning to hit up Utah for a limited time next year as part of our vacation. I think it is only going to be Arches and Bryce Canyon, though. Navajo Knobs trail was spectacular. Added that to my ever-growing AllTrails list.

It’s sooo underrated! I think we had the most fun here this time around (minus the needles area of canyonlands) because it was less busy and just such a surprise! And you can’t beat pie at a national park!
