I've been to several capitals throughout the world, and Washington DC is still the most beautiful imo. All the white marble and imposing buildings, all the green space on the National Mall, the river, the bridges.
I’m 14 and yesterday I hiked rim 2 rim (south to north rim) in one day, I stared at 4:45am and finished at 6:40pm (13 hours 55 minutes) and this video helped me out a lot.
That alligator is probably used to being fed by people in airboats. Lots of airboat operators feed alligators to entertain the visitors... this is how alligators lose their fear of humans and become dangerous.
F Brooke Merrell saying crews can’t fly the American flag 🇺🇸 where does she think we are? And for the people that made the complaint are just mental. If you aren’t American and the AMERICAN FLAG bothers you then don’t visit America. All Americans should be proud of our flag and what it stands for. 😢
I guess it is a rule that hikers cannot carry firearms while hiking the Grand Canyon, which is why I will never hike it. As someone who has spent considerable time in wilderness areas, only a fool would go out there unarmed. There are possible threats from two-leggeds as well as four-leggeds. Just more of the nanny state at work. Good luck to you all.
@@susanwhite7202you never know what could happen. If he feels safer with his firearm, then so be it. Don’t attack someone because of their personal safety precautions.
Millions of people go to National Parks unarmed and are just fine. I've hiked most of the AT and countless other trails and have never felt the need for a gun.
@@shelleyrochelle7596 you might not need it and I hope nothing ever happens to you. Some might prefer that extra layer of safety. If that makes him feel better, then so be it.
But perhaps the most unique setting of all was at the Washington Monument, where a power outage had plunged the iconic landmark into darkness. Undeterred, a group of resilient individuals gathered around, illuminated only by the glow of their cell phones, as they danced to the ethereal sounds of Paul Mottram's "Home Nation" and "Home Landscape". In that moment, they found unity and strength in the music, proving that even in the face of adversity, the power of dance can bring people together in beautiful ways.
You started out to walk to the Grandstand and suddenly you were finding the moving rocks. This is not how it works. Do not mislead would be tourists. The Grandstand is probably a mile or two away from where the moving rocks are located. The moving rocks are way down on the south end where they roll down the mountain and hit the playa. There is no mountain out in the middle where the Grandstand is. Keep driving until you get to the south end and then walk about half a mile or more to find the rocks.
Thank you for touching on trail etiquette. We live in Utah and all the years of hiking all over the states its amazing how many people don't have any respect or the slightest etiquette. The worst is when people walk 2 to 3 wide down the trails.🤦♂️
Before the rain, this atmosphere was very different. Trees were HUGE, people lived hundreds and hundreds of years. That's part of the REAL Earth history.
My first ever hike was that mountain and I had to do it in one day, so it was like a 12h hike... I slept during the breaks like a baby for 10 minutes and then up and forward. The views are worth it and starting early in the day gives you a mystic view of the start of the hike. Also finishing late at night gives you also a good view of the city if you go down on the other side of the the mountain.
My wife and I are visiting here this summer so I’ve watched a number of videos about it, which would explain why your’s was suggested. Your video is so detailed I had to stop it a couple minutes in. Even though at our age, we won’t be doing the hike down, I don’t want our trip to feel like a rerun. Consider that a compliment.
