If you like hiking and you like the US Southwest, you are in the right spot.
My wife and I love the outdoors. We backpack. We hike. We canyoneer. We give each other a hard time. And I love filming, editing and photography.

Your cinematography is breathtaking Jerry. And I love stories from native Indians. May I ask what camera you use? I just upgraded to a Sony a7iii hoping for better picture quality.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Extremely well done and the views were breathtaking. Great job with the videography. You set a high standard. 😀👍
East rim was my break room. There is even a rock that I laid on ,as the condors circled above me. I could hear the air under their Wings.# 19 got the closest to me.Fond memories...
Thank you for posting. Planning our trip to GC next May, traveling north to Mexican Hat, would love to visit east rim. Planning on reaching out to them
Watching this from Mingus mountain campground......views of Sedona and amazing. Heading for fossil creek tomorrow....no permits needed! Happy Hour meetup soon!? Lol. Timmy C Arizona
How fortunate you must feel to meet these fine people and experience these magnificent views. Hopefully their tours will meet their dreams and expectations. Your content and cinematography style would make for excellent documentaries on a wide range of subjects.
It is generally accepted that the eastern border of the Grand Canyon starts at the confluence of the little Colorado River and the Colorado River. What you are showing in this video most people refer to as Glen Canyon
The part between Lees Ferry and the Little Colorado is actually Mable Canyon, not Glen Canyon, and, geologically speaking it is part of the Grand Canyon, as it is carved into the same formations as the Grand Canyon, whereas Glen Canyon is carved from younger (mesozoic rather than paleozoic) rocks.
While the National park boundary gets significantly smaller north of the confluence (to the point that it’s basically just the river) that area is still part of the National park and canyon - with the recognition that the “on top” land is Navajo Nation land. The same thing happens to the far west. The National park boundary shrinks to ½ mile from the rim More importantly, that’s just an arbitrary line on a map. If they’ve been calling it Grand Canyon for 1,000 years, I’ll let them continue.
Thank you for taking us along... Really enjoyed your trip. We are going in March 2025. North rims is the only rim we have not been to yet It looks absolutely beautiful 😍
I was lucky to hike angeles landing way back in 2018. it was my first time ever at Zion and we did the whole hike in a snow storm just like this! In hind sight it was kinda stupid cos I'm not a seasoned hiker. But it was amazing and I miss it. I did it again in 2022 but in fair weather. Nothing compares to Angeles landing in snow. I probably wont be able to do it again. truly a once in a lifetime experience. This video brought back fond memories. Thank you
