Рет қаралды 131,903
Күн бұрынWe spent a weekend in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and it was absolutely epic! We visited a gorgeous waterfall, drove scenic and rough roads, ate and drank coffee at delicious local spots, and squeezed a crazy narrow slot canyon.

Thanks for posting this adventure! Was adding this area (and an extra day) to my plans across Southern Utah in August (my usual Autumn getaway), and this greatly helped my understanding of what I'm getting myself into lol Folks like Josh make our venturing even more of a pleasure; I always find people are friendlier, more talkative and, in general, happier out on the trails, as we are sharing the best of Life and getting the best out of Life.

Loved and loved this video adventure! Mainly because that is one of my favorite areas. Zion and Bryce are great but when we’re in that area (and Capitol Reef) it feels magical. Lower Calf Creek is one of my favorite hikes and the slot canyons ❤️❤️. However, we did not do peek a boo; we should get back there and do it. We did not feel comfortable with getting up into it and then to get back out. We were even younger then! But we’re more experienced now. 👍. And I’ve also enjoyed the coffee at the Kiva! Is that not a unique place! And I love your comment about the Burr Trail: driving down a giant red hallway; so appropriate! Can’t wait to see what you do at Capitol Reef. 👌

It's great to see that you made it to those Dry Fork canyons. If you plan to do more of those type of canyoneering style canyons, here are a couple tips. Wear old clothes, do not wear a down jacket, and pick up some rubberized garden gloves at a dollar store. We also always make sure that we wear long sleeves and pants when in the canyons, and pack shorts and a cooler top for the hike out on warm days. Keep exploring.

Yeah the jacket was a bad choice, especially since it's brand new. I was a bit scared to rip it 😬 But thankfully it survived!

Hi Folks, Great show in Grand places: those who follow you might like to know a couple things of note: There is a path down to the upper Calf Creek falls (from the highway above the canyons) and they are very interesting (lots of green growth). Also in Lower Calf Creek canyon there are some awesome pictographs visible on the great wall on the other side of the canyon when you near the small granary in the side canyon (three helmeted warriors). As for Spooky...plan to lose a few buttons on your jacket and be willing to crouch down or crawl to get through...good travels!

The different angles, some slow motion, etc really did a nice job presenting the scene. Adam's breakfast burrito looked fantastic... I too consider myself a breakfast burrito connoisseur so we'll have to compare notes, lol. The Burr trail looked awesome! The drone footage is so helpful for telling the story! There;s no way I could have stopped... we'll have to drive the whole thing! Hole in the Rock overnight camp looked cool! And the slot canyon hike was killer, despite a couple wong turns. Thats what makes it an adventure! And Peek a boo was really neat as well! The arches in the slot were amazing! Katy would NOT like that hike.... gonna have to go solo I'm afraid! But it looks awesome to me!

There were only two other cars there and we had the falls to ourselves...for about 15 minutes. Then the crowds came roaring in and we must have passed 100 or more people on the trail on our hike back and the parking lot was jam packed. Utah has been the most amazing place I've ever visited in my life. Just EPIC at every turn.

Thats an EPIC canyon hike. Great video! Worth doing more than once! Was there last year and LOVED it. Since your on the way to Capitol Reef... Consider hiking Ding and Dang Canyon about 3 hours away. It is within 1 mile of the trail head for Little Wild Horse Canyon. Ding and Dang is more adventurous than the more famous Little Wild Horse Canyon trail (in my opinion). On the way from Capitol Reel, stop in Hanksville, UT to eat at Dukes Slick Rock Grill for a great meal. Not sure if you do this, but when hiking canyons, consider bringing 1" nylon webbing (found on amazon). It is useful to have a strong hand line to assist getting down areas that are under 15 feet. Also good to lower backpacks. We used one at the entrance to Peek-A-Boo.

Alright! 👍 We’re glad we got it right! I (Adam) know a small amount of Spanish and wish I had more time to practice and learn. I’d love to be fluent one day. Thanks for watching!

Great footage. I love the way of your narration. And the video quality is on point! I spent one week in the Escalante area in 2019 on a road trip and I immediately fell in love with this outstanding landscape. I made Peek-a-boo and spooky slot canyon as well. Peek-a-boo was great but I was not sure if I could make it through the complete Spooky canyon without getting stuck. So I turned around at the drop-off with the rope. Additionaly I was on my own and couldn't risk to get injured or lost if something would have happened. I then tried Spooky from the other side and then I really got stuck due to some extra kilos on my hips ;-) So, I luckily had made the right decision to turn around. Puuh. If you ever have the chance to hike the bolder mail trail through Lower death hollow when you are in the region, just do it. That was my best experience there. It's a 2 time overnight hike and it's worth every minute. Not to mention Coyote Gulch a few more miles further down the hole-in-a-rock road. Safe travels. Regards from Germany Reiner

VERY smart of you to turn around if you didn’t feel confident! We are big believers in only doing what feels safe for you! And that hike sounds awesome! We’d love to backpack out in Utah sometime!

I've been on both of these exact same hikes back in the day with school one summer and man can I say this brings me back 😅, I swam under the falls on the waterfall hike and was pretty much leading the group in the slot canyons cause I wasn't scared of much, along with a few others ofc. But I love to see it man. Great video! I'm glad to see other people enjoying it, I stumbled upon this just watching random vids and I was like no freakin way. Thank you man! Keep exploring!

Thanks so much for watching! So glad you’ve gotten to explore these too! Next time we will try to visit the falls on a warmer day so we can go for a swim!

Y'all are inspiring. I might have done such clambering about when I was your age, perhaps, but sometimes....yikes, I can't imagine getting hurt somewhere in those slot canyons. Good job! I look forward to seeing Capitol Reef (on Monday?) From what I understand, it's an underrated gem, but often an afterthought.....and always fifth of the "Mighty Five", which is like coming in fifth in the, say, Most Beautiful Human contest.

It was sooo much fun! One of the best experiences here for sure! And we LOVE Capitol Reef, we have a long video coming Monday (you're right!) from a jam packed 24 hours there. Such a gorgeous park!

Utah is just beyond amazing! Lucky my sister lives there near Zion National Park. I've been to almost all the National Parks in Utah except Capitol Reef and have been wanting to go to the Escalante National Monument. Great video and thank you for sharing your adventure with us, especially the food locations !

Capitol reef and the grand staircase Escalante are some of our favorite spots in southern Utah! We hope you can check them out next time you visit your sister!

As we mentioned in our previous slot canyon video, NEVER enter a slot canyon if there is rain in the forecast for the surrounding area. Slot canyons can flash flood quickly! ⬇️ Read our guides for the hikes in this video adventuresofaplusk.com/hiking-to-lower-calf-creek-falls adventuresofaplusk.com/exploring-the-peek-a-boo-and-spooky-slot-canyons ⬇️ Watch more Utah Vlogs & read all of our Utah guides kzfaq.info/sun/PLZKRTK1yCEM4zKHtthhqfdRyfo3hT7UW- adventuresofaplusk.com/category/utah/ See ALL of our gear: adventuresofaplusk.com/resources/

Peekaboo & spooky 👻was my bucketlist w my 12&9 yo kids this summer !! But after watching those very narrow drops....I crossed it out. Thank you!! Too claustrophobic for me!! Definitely not spooky. I can hear us crying stuck not able to move. Enjoyed your video and now I know we are not doing this😍 THANK you!!🥰

The climbing parts would be tough for kids without the help of an adult! Although the narrow spots are perfect for kids!

Nice vlog! Hell’s backbone grill in Boulder is also a great place to eat. That rope on the down climb in Spooky must have been left by another person. It’s often not there. For others who may attempt this it’s a good idea to be prepared for the assistance of a rope to not be there. Stemming or chimneying can be effective without a rope.
