The Chasm of Doom is Joshua Tree's greatest secret and most awe-inspiring hike. While difficult to find, the effort to do so is more than rewarded with entry to the chasm's dark and often terrifying tunnels. The only way out? Climbing through the infamous "coffin", where hikers are forced to lie flat on their backs to squeeze through a tiny opening in the rock while shimmying to the other side. If you are afraid of small spaces, this secret Joshua Tree hike may not be the one for you!

Haha thanks Gary! What's funny is that neither of us knew we had claustrophobia at all until getting into that coffin, but both of us felt our heart rates skyrocket while we were in there. We didn't panic mentally, but our bodies were totally panicking -- it was a truly weird and cool experience! ❤️

Yes you are exactly right about that. There were a few places where we actually did go the wrong way and had to climb back up or down, which was mentally very challenging.

Really a memorable adventure. ❤️

Crazy hike! I am claustrophobic. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew there would be a positive ending to your video, I would have turned it off at a few points (especially at the coffin!). It was making me queasy! I hope no one watches this video and decides to do this hike alone. It appears that one could easily get stuck! Elise you seemed to slide through the tight spots fairly easily, but I thought Adam was pushing it a little. Another great video!

Thanks Virginia -- we were thinking exactly the same thing! In several places on the hike, we both said we wouldn't want to do it alone -- at least the first time -- because there's just too much uncertainty about getting stuck (especially for poor Adam, who took about 5 minutes to get through one particularly tight squeeze on the way down!). Very glad you enjoyed the video. We would definitely like to mix in a few more adventures like this in the future because it was really, really fun. ❤️

You two are so brave and resourceful. Amazing hike, great video work. Seriously. No way, I could of done that, as I have real claustrophobia. (trapped in an underground fort collapse as a kid for a few minutes -- talk about panic response. I still have relapses sometimes.) Like Adam said, I would much prefer standing a top of 5000 ft cliff, than going through a slot too small to fit. And I'm leary of heights too. But usually my Tripod work, takes my mind off of it. Cheers! Have a great holiday, and an adventure-filled New Year. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Thanks very much -- wow, we can only imagine what that experience must have been like as a kid! It was fascinating to feel our bodies have this response even as our minds were consciously reminding ourselves that everything is fine. Neither of us has any kind of claustrophobia, but apparently it's just a natural physical response. Happy holidays to you, and looking forward to sharing some crazy adventures in 2022! ❤️

Nope! Nope! Nope! I’ve told you previously that you guys sometimes make my palms sweat & I talk to the TV when you’re in precarious situations…. But, I could hardly watch you squeeze through the coffin! Dang, I can hardly do an MRI without a sedative & that’s in the safety of a Medical Clinic! I would have totally lost it in the tight quarters of the coffin! Intellectually, I know those boulders have been in place for millions of years, so why do I think that they will collapse the moment you guys are squeezing through??I love all your videos & really admire your relationship Kudos to you both & thanks for bringing us along on the journey! I guess next time I go to Joshua Tree I’m going to have to slow down and actually do some exploring! Not in the coffin though!

Haha that's pretty much exactly how we felt, Steve! Adam was saying exactly that about how the boulders haven't moved in hundreds of thousands of years, yet both of us still had a visceral fear response especially when going through the coffin. It was really interesting, and made us want to do some more of these kinds of things in order to tame that fear the way we've tamed our fear of heights! And totally agree about J-tree. The more we explore, especially the off-trail stuff, the more we love it!
