Kayaking, Canoeing, Hiking, Bicycling, Camping... All things outdoors in nature. "There is pleasure in the pathless woods... I love not man less, but nature more." Alexander Supertramp (Christopher McCandless)
No matter what vehicle climbs hells gate it’s always impressive. You have to be there to experience it and fully appreciate how terrifying and exciting it is.
Bean is a GREAT flow park. All ages can enjoy. I'm 73 and I have a blast on the trails. Blue, of course. They're going to expand it. Can't wait. It will be a major fun ride when done. There are other trails, like 396, single track, that you can jump on from the same parking lot.
100% agree with you. We are so luck to be where there is such cool geography but also a team that knows how to build excellent trails while incorporating the unique terrain
For the most part good. We got rained of the slopes at Lee Canyon so found these trails for alternatives. Some are really loose and difficult to ride, while others were really great
This was before Rivian was available on the market. My best guess is the companies technical team were out testing its capabilities. It was just a happy coincidence we had just finished climbing hells gate in a jeep when the Rivian came up behind us.
Not impressed....now go take the glorified golf cart back to the golf course where it belongs...electric vehicles are a waist of resources and money....
Maybe when the infrastructure can support them and charging times drops drastically ill consider something like this but till then they just haven't gotten there yet. At least the Rivian looks like a truck unlike that monstrosity cyber truck.
We are in the market for an Old Town canoe. I was thinking of getting an old CAMPER model. I think it is the Royalex they used back then, but I don't know as much as I would like to about all the different models and construction. What would you get for paddling the local Prescott lakes and floating the Verde with a rare trip down the Salt or Colorado some day?
We have 3 kayaks and the canoe and have used them for local lakes, this portion of the Verde and upper portion of the Colorado. We like the kayaks because they are easy to transport and fun in the water
That’s one of the most common comments I see on this video and it’s somehow based on the concept that combustible engines run on an infinite source of fuel.
@@PaddlePedalPedals I'm assuming that was supposed to be INFINITE, not infantile. And NO, it's based on the fact that unlike electric, you CAN carry a jerry can of fuel in case you run out. And if you Don't have one you can buy one, go to a gas station and bring back five gallons, now explain how that is accomplished with an electric car.
@@jlsc4125 thanks for catching my text error. You make a good point and I know there is a big difference in the ranges between electric and gasoline vehicles right now but as these vehicles continue to develop that gap will likely narrow. It also doesn’t have to be gas vs electric. I drive a 4 runner and love it. I do appreciate these new electric vehicles though and what they are striving for.
@@PaddlePedalPedals I certainly appreciate the problem with global warming. However, electric is not the answer, that would be hydrogen, but since Musk can't get rich with hydrogen it's fighting a war against wealth, and unfortunately our nation is funding Musk with a legal monopoly on chargers. electric cars have an inherent problem they rely on non renewable resources. Also, their life is severely limited in warmer clients like Arizona. Add to that, they are prohibitively expensive to the average 99% er, so their wide use and acceptance is limited. Also, 90% of the sales will not result in a reduction of internal combustion engines, for very nearly ever ev purchased, a used gas car is put on the market and stays on the road.
See what happens when I hook my 40’ fifth wheel toy hauler to an electric truck and tow it 350 miles at 70 mph without stopping. Oh wait, that’s right, they can’t do that. That electric future doesn’t look so bright now does it?… 🤷🏼♂️
Those are good points. The distance and towing capacity isn’t there with electric vehicles. Speaking of the future, if our only plan is to keep using non renewable resources to fuel our vehicles then that’s not a great looking future either. Trying to pull that 40’ trailer with a gasoline engine without any gasoline you won’t be going too far.
@@PaddlePedalPedals Can you help me, looking for the parking trail head. Is it schultz creek trail head. Can you gime me some info on the climb up to it. Really appreciate it mi amigo. Thank you.
Schultz creek parking is where you have to start. I believe the road is still closed. We took Dog Food trail, to Secret trail. This brings you to the upp Schultz parking that is closed to cars currently. From there Broadside which was an easy climb up to the start of Full Sail. To come down we too the long but fun Schultz creek trail all the way back to the car. Accident signed in under another account but this is Paddle Pedal Pedals.
After that…middle of nowhere…no charger…gas keeps going and electric needs to charge…gas can ford a river with winch…electric shorts out…out in the middle of nowhere…what do you with electric…plug into rock….😂😂.
Oh yes…electric can keep going forever…while gas runs out in 5 minutes….lets see you do that in sub zero temps….electric fails…gas does not…been proven for many years….easier to find gas in back country that electric…plus AAA will bring me more gas…or I can carry Jerry cans…you are fucked in your electric..can cant carry extra batteries…fool….🤣🤣.
Great clip mi amigo. That’s an awesome trail, my chika and I love it. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. I didn’t try some of those rocky features. Definitely will try next time.
