BACKPACKING Salt Creek + Angel Arch in CANYONLANDS | + off-road JEEPING! 

Chances are the water sources will be running a little more than we found them with all the weather that's been down there recently. Enjoy!

@@WasatchWill went last weekend and it was amazing. Thanks for the video and the intel. Incredible place.

That excursion with your Jeep was a blast!

Glad you enjoyed it

It really was awesome. Glad we took the time to do it, despite how hot it got through the rest of the day.

This was mid May. Definitely weren't bothered by any bugs. I've honestly never been bothered by or even noticed noseeums in all the spring desert trips I've ever taken, which are many. I do remember some bigger biting flies in Capitol Reef in early June one year that even our bug repellant couldn't keep away.

And yes... Weather can span a big range that time if year. We went from sub freezing temps our first night down there (water bottles frozen solid) to high 80's hiking out that last day.

That is awesome! I bet it's really pretty in the fall down there too. I don't know how, but the big puddle/pools that are typically there by Peekaboo Arch appeared to be all dried up. Did not see any water down through there. Just not enough rain, snow, or floods to keep them full before they all dried out.

@@WasatchWill it was really pretty with the cottonwood leaves changing. I guess a better description of that water source was a pool in a depression on the right side of the trail before the big ladder. It was a few feet down to the water and vertical banks so I tied my cook pot to a trekking pole to reach it. I was pretty pleased with my ingenuity, lol. It had been years since I'd backpacked in southern UT and now I want to come back so badly.

@@TapestryUntied Yeah, it's crazy how much water shows up on satellite down through there vs what's currently there or not there now.

Thanks! I definitely put more effort into trying to tighten up the pace of the edit. Smoke wasn't a problem yet because we did this back in May. I'm just way behind on getting trip vids out. A couple more before I'm all caught up. I don't have an actual gimbal. I shoot a lot with my GoPro which has great stabilization and then mix in shots taken with my phone. I shot some stuff with my Sony as well, but mistakenly formatted the card for another trip before ensuring I got all my video clips off of it. Oops. Won't make that mistake again. Thankfully I had enough footage from GoPro and phone to make it all work and just threw in a few still shots for the spots I shot video with my Sony and lost before getting the edit done.

@@WasatchWill I've accidentally deleted footage before, so I feel your pain!

Which is why I placed my hand next to the hand prints for comparison and not directly on top of any.

I typically don't, but come on, 1690? How can that one be authentic?
