I so appreciate this. I'm disabled and cannot go and see these wonderful places, so I appreciate you and this channel. Thank you!☺️

I really love all the trips you and Pops take together. So cool that you two get to share these memories together.

I love that you’re doing these with you dad.

You always bring back great memories of my trips in the US. This area specifically is amazing. I encourage everyone to travel, no matter how difficult it might seem. I'm heavily disabled, but yet, with the help of my friend who clicked on the "purchase ticket" button while I was in the bathroom (yes the idea of going to the US alone scared me and I didn't have the courage to click that button!) I managed to travel solo from Italy and enjoy driving through the beautiful south west scenery. There are pieces of my heart left between the Eastern Sierras and the White Sands National Park!

Thanks for the beautiful tour, I’d never heard of Capitol Reef NP before. It’s so nice that you are able to take these trips with your dad. Cherish them!

Great job! Love that you and your Dad can do things together.

Oh my goodness. I would never be able to do that trail to the arch. Thank you for filming it so well, because it is the only way I would ever see it!

It really is a beautiful park! 🥰🥰❤️👍🙌I really enjoy all the trips with pops and all the great memories you have together. 🥹🥹👍💕

I wish you had a Patreon Account with a $1 a month support tier so I can donate & support you. I'm retired on fixed social security but I can definitiely afford $1 a month to show my sincerest appreciation for all your fantastic hard work. Thank you so much for producing such great content. I always look forward every week to see what you do. I love the ones with your twins and great spots to check out in the city, and also the road trips and hiking trails like this one. Love the stories, thank you so much. Please think about setting up a Patreon Account and a low tier for us low income people and a high teir for the richer peeps. I bet there are a lot of peeps like me who want to support you.

I can't wait to watch this. As you know, I'm a Utahn and the mighty five is epic. This park is my second favorite in Utah. I call it, "The Poor Man Zion" because it has similar trails and views. If you come back, you should do the Sulphur Creek Trail. Epic 5 mile point to point that takes you past 3 waterfalls I think. Def wanna watch out for flash flooding. This park I swear gets crazy intense with that in the summer monsoon season. All the best!

Great video! This is probably my favorite National Park, and definitely one of the more overlooked ones. The views are breathtaking.

Great! I can't wait to visit

I just want to say thanks for another wonderful walking tour. Enjoyed watching it 😍

Thanks for sharing Josh & pops

I just got back from capital reef💜 I did the cathedral valley loop, the narrows, & Cassidy arch although it was so windy when we reached the top🙈 😍 definitely one of my favorite parks 👍🏼🙌🏼

We are from the Netherlands and visited Capitol Reef in the beginning of March this year and missed Pie by a week, bummer ! We did hike the Overlook trail and looked down from the trail at Hickman Bridge, but the views at the top are amazing, you should definitely do that one in the future. We always love your videos, keep them coming (and we will too be coming back to the USA)

Very well done video. This is a vacation that I have been dreaming about for a long time. The information is priceless and again I thank you for an excellent video

I appreciate your videos of the National Parks; I am going there next year! I love our national parks! Your Dad looks so small on that trail!

Great video! Next time you're in capitol reef I'd highly recommend sulphercreek pleasent creek and if you're really adventurous oak creek it's really hard to access though but the real beauty of capitol reef in my opinion is found in the surrounding area there's really no where else like it the eastern desert in the cainville area you'll find petrified forest and crazy rock formations that look out of this world and head west and you've got boulder mountain and fish lake national forest nestled right next to the park it's actually amazing how quick the environment goes from desert to forest it's my favorite part of Utah also the burr trail is a must do for the south end of the Park

Brings back memories. We were there for a few days in the fall of 2021. Fortunately the pies were available. We had 3 cherries and a peach. Also got to pick apples and made apple sauce. Even though it is one of the less visited parks it was one of our favorites. Thanks for sharing. 👍🙏

Love this park…was a big relief after contending with the crowds at Arches. I was there early June of last year and unfortunately was too late for pie…sold out. Great video - always enjoy the adventures with your dad.

Great video! Thanks!

We love your national park guides. Used the Pinnacles one on our recent trip. keep up the good work

Breathtaking, natural wonders of the world

Thanks! This was one of our favorite parks by far. Such a cool, underrated park! The hour-long ranger led geology hike was awesome! And the peach pie was great! We drove in from Escalante, where we took in Grand Staircase, Bryce and Zion as well for 10 days. Such a treasure!

The pies are to die for. We were supposed to share but ordered two with the ice cream. Loved the hike to Cassidy Arch at sunset and gorge was awesome. I stood on the arch like you did ♥️. The visitor center closes at 4pm, so we didn't get our Capitol Reef magnet and souvenirs 😭. Thanks for taking us back there!

Beautiful…..Utah is my favorite state!

Thank you for this awesome review. Heading here in a few weeks, camping at Fruita campground. Super excited.

I love Capitol Reef I miss Utah and the hikes we us used to do.

Thanks for takin us along!

Man, that looks beautiful.

Thank you for sharing whit us. I am not able to hike so I'm happy that I can see all these beautiful places through your eyes.

Simply amazing. Never knew the Capitol Reef National Park even existed. I have to go visit now. And, the Trout and eggs breakfast looks delicious, too.

Absolutely beautiful

Thanks! As always, top notch and super helpful. I’m here now.

The best video I've seen of Capitol Reef. Thanks! And I'm still so in love with Pops. :)

Amazing video! amazing trip!👍👍🌷🌷😍😍

The pie is great! The ice cream is good too. Definitely get pie' all kinds!!

I grew up in one of the nearby towns in Wayne County where Capitol Reef is located. I promise you, Capitol Reef is the best of the national parks, and I promise I have absolutely no bias whatsoever ;)

Amazing Landscape ❤️

You are lucky to be visiting all these amazing places, I enjoy your videos, well edited.

Amazing place very unique and Beautiful Photography. Thank you for Sharing.

Your videos are so awesome. That park is a "well kept secret". Excellent job, as always, very interesting. 👏🤠🤠👏

Awesome! I really have wanted to explore this area of Utah. You e given me som3 ideas of things to do and see. The scenic drive is amazing. Totally want to go now

Nice video guys, as always. I was just there the first time in April, pue house was closed that day too ??? On your first hike to the arch, the trail splits to Navajo Nubbs, an excellent view point, highest is the park. Its an amazing park.

The views there alone are fantastic

😊 new subscriber today. I love to travel but can’t afford much traveling right now. So fun to go along with you. Thanks 🎉

Your a great commentator I really enjoy your videos. Thankyou for sharing

I have never heard of this place until today!

Love you channel, love your trips. Next time you do Capitol Reef, you have to do the Cathedral Valley Loop. That's where all the very coolest stuff is. You'll need a high clearance vehicle but it's stunning. It's an all day trip to some of the craziest things I've ever seen. During certain times of year, it's closed due to snow or water but we have gone a few times in may and it's perfect.

You have great subjects to film, but your photography is amazing! Really enjoy the commentary, too.

That Bridge is in solid Limestone, a lot harder than sandstone and very dense, like chert. I'm surprised at how many people think it's all sandstone. Reefs are made of limestone. Area used to be underwater and a reef grew on top of the sandstone. Second bridge was partially sandstone looked to me.

I caught "Kaibab LZimestone" out the corner of my eye and went to research it cuz I was thinking... and after my research I come back to your video and right there "See, here it is on Grand Canyon." Props to the sign makers.

I love getting their Pies, but last trip in March I came too late and they were sold out. Thanks for these videos. I've been here 3 times before, but you cover so much info, so I"m always learning more things.

Well Josh you took me on another great hike. I loved it, would have loved some pie though.

this shit's so cool and awesome to look at

Our family visited Capitol Reefs NP two years ago. As other people have commented, the park is under-rated so there is always lots of space to get away from crowds.

Love your channel! We got some pie and it was delicious! Their jams are awesome too. You must return 🙂

Had the apple pie and it was one of the best I ever had. Got it Ala mode which made it even better. Awesome park that I need to get back to. You did some trails I didn't have time to do. Also recommend the Calf Creek Falls trail in Escalante NM if you get back that way.

The cherry pie is amazing. Actually the apple pie is pretty amazing also. Those are the only two I tried.

I was there too! If you were at some places there at the exact time, I would see you!

mixed berry pie was life changing

Wow👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

nice video

hey nice video

damn it now i have to go back to mighty 5

Awesome video as always! Every one of utah’s national parks is a gem! If you don’t mind me asking, what microphone do you use to record the background audio for your videos? It just sounds so crisp and clear!

Pops and the Cassidy Arch Trail reminds me of the system I have put in place for people whole love hiking, but are not fans of heights! LOL It is called the "Five Fucks Trail Scale". After years of hiking in Alaska, and not being able to continue in some places, I happened to sign up for a 14-day float of the Grand Canyon. Prior to the float, I spent all my time frightened of the rapids. But once we made our first stop at South Canyon and went on the hike, I realized I needed to make my fear of heights known. So, I asked our wonderful guide, Cory, "Uh. So. How many "fucks" is this hike?" "What do you mean?" "Well, I guess it's a one-to-five scale. One fuck, meaning I'm uncomfortable, but I can do it. Three fucks, meaning I'm pretty scared, but can still do it. And five fucks, meaning I have to dig into the pit of my soul, hate anyone who encourages me, and, don't push me, I will give up and any point and go back!" Another guest said, "Oh, I totally get that." By the end of the float, the guides were using the scale on their own. "So. We're coming up on Deer Creek Canyon, and the this is probably a four fucks trails for some of you." It was. But I'm glad I made it. And thus, the Five Fucks Trail Scale was born. Pops would appreciate it, I'm sure. As would many of your viewers. LOL

I know it's all business (for the most part) for your videos, but maybe add some more pops commentary as well, so as to get both takes and get more interactions between you two. More insight into your relationship/dynamic with each other would up the anty of intruigue and add a slight bit more comedic relief, since I can tell you both have interesting personalities/backgrounds (unlike many travel videographers). Overall, FANTASTIC videos my friend, as you're doing the Lord's work for us aspiring travelers!

Visited there a few years ago. When hiking i missed a warning sign about killer bees. They were right under the Hickman bridge, so i never got a good look at it as i had to run like crazy. Did get a pie to make up for it though, so that's still a win. The area is beautiful in summer when it's all green.

Hail to the Orange, Hail to the Blue!

Great video! Thank you so much! What month was this?

So, random comment I hope is helpful. Recently, my son who had a KZfaq Channel passed away. The channel is "Video Insights" I saw some really terrible comments and comments that were worded badly. Also, random comments that did not make sense. Then, I found out there are "bots" designed just to put mean things in comment sections. So, if you see someone making negative comments about your restaurant adventures, they may not be real at all. So, do not let it bother you. This is why Elon Musk put buying Twitter on hold until he can find out how many of the accounts are fake. I greatly enjoy your channel. It is inspiring me to follow my own travel adventures. Thank you.

Great video Josh. I hope to get to that area some day. So what month did you go? Doesn't look very crowded. Thanks for the tour

All the pies is worth coming back to Capitol Reef😉

Thanks for doing this video, I really want to do Cassidy Arch when I visit this April. Unfortunately, since I will be driving a rental car, I will be forced to begin from the northeast, paved entrance to the Grand Wash, where you were picked up by your father I believe. I was checking AllTrails to get a preview of the length and elevation gain. While the length was pretty similar at around 8 miles round trip, the elevation gain from various gps tracks submitted by other hikers were all over the place. Ranging from around 1200 ft, to 1500ft, to above 2000+ft! I have to imagine it was the canyon walls messing with the gps readings. Could I get your opinion on how flat the grand wash portions were and how much elevation gain you probably went through this entire hike? Thanks so much!

I love your videos what time of year did you go?

👍👍👍

Melted structures everywhere

Hi thanks for the video. What month did you visit?

We were there about a month ago and the Capitol Gorge was our favorite. Did you hike to the petroglyphs in the gorge?

@5:55, Did you notice how that massive rock formation looks like a submarine?

I want to go back

Call me crazy but I enjoyed this park more than Zion. And yes, I hiked to the top of Angels Landing and walked through The Narrows.

👍

Could you suggest a few national parks that would be great just for driving. My husband and I can walk some but definitely not a hike. We loved Yellowstone and grand tetons because we could drive for hours and see so much. With a few viewpoints here and there.

Have you been to Olympic National Park? It's a wonderful Park in the PNW and I would love if you visit there.

I heard of the old school site a while ago. I wonder if they had a better life with so little resources and people compared to the bustling of the modern times.

When did you go? Wondering why it was cold.

Do you have to make reservations to visit this national park?

Good pie 🥧 it's no Julian though.

Can we drive minivan there?? Thanks

Thanks for this video. i need to add another point to visit.

These sights are lost civilizations. The City of Giants. Just like Sedona, Petra, Hegra, Grand Canyon, Ardèche France, Siberian planes etc.

But did you drive Hwy 12? ??

Of all people to be deprived of pie

sir, thats not a creek

HOW DO I EXPLAIN TO MY WIFE THAT BEING A GOOD HUSBAND INVOLVES FLATTENING HER PILLOWS?
