Spoiler Alert - I used to be terrified of driving on any sort of mountain road. What's something you used to be afraid of that you have conquered?

@alextownsend6662 10 месяцев назад

I’m afraid of heights but am so drawn to the mountains I have been exercising that fear with hiking (highest so far is Mt Sneffels peak) and now rock climbing. Not an adrenaline junkie at all, but love the opportunity to build increasing comfort in difficult situations.

Alice, this is one of your best presentations of a NP yet, if not the best. I was at Canyonlands two weeks ago. Planned for a few days and stayed for ten. I watched a sunrise from the spot you closed at above Shafer Canyon. Spectacular. Love what you do and how you do it. You’ve been a true inspiration in my life. Thank you!! ❤️✨👏

@AliceFordAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Alice, I discovered your channel a couple weeks ago. Your videos are up there with some of the best solo women on you tube. I’m 75 years old and have such fond memories of Canyonlands and Arches when I was younger. I really hope to get back there soon before I get too old to travel and hike. Also your narrative voice is so comforting and soothing! So glad that I found you, thank you for what you do!!

We did the white rim trail in the 80's with a baja bug. Left the dog in a kennel the camper at the ranger station and off we went in the baja for an overnight trip. We actually had to talk the rangers into letting us go because the baja is not 4 wheel drive which was a requirement then. Was a fantastic experience, I am glad to see you got to do the Shafer trail. I want to try it again with my ADV motorcycle but I am not much of an off road rider so we shall see.

You should photograph Mesa Arch during sunrise. You have to get there really early to get your spot because many photographers are there to do the same.

@2011woodlands 10 месяцев назад

If your going to drive in hot conditions on a regular basis or climb a lot of hills or pull a trailer, consider installing a oil cooling system and transmission cooling system, make sure your spare tire is a actual tire with the correct pressure.

@AliceFordAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the suggestion, I have a full size tire on the back.

Hi Alice, Great video! I'd totally encourage you to do the White Rim Trail from Potash to Mineral Bottom. You can do it in a long day or overnight it with a camping permit (Murphy's is best). The track is not technically demanding, but it is narrow in places with significant drop-offs and a couple of hair raising sections. You will use low range for about half the track. Go with another experienced 4-wheeler for safety in case of breakdown, at least for your first time. Potash and Shafer are a great taste, whereas the White Rim is the full meal. It's out there, and in December nearly devoid of traffic, and truly an experience in the vast canyon desert lands.

@AliceFordAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. Yes I just need to find a Jeep friend to go with. It’s so funny out in Utah because I always thought I had big tires until I hit these dirt trails and realized other vehicles had tires twice the size 🤣

Wow Alice! Stunning views! The hidden paths that lead to archeological sites look incredible. What a unique opportunity. Your sunset views have got to be my favourite. I can only begin to imagine what the night sky has to offer.🌌🌟 Great “pinned” question. Overcoming / conquered… As an electrician, some of the most intimidating work that I have completed has been work at heights on structural via rope access (for maintenance). Certainly not for the faint of heart. As always. Can’t wait to see more of what the parks of Utah have to offer. I thoroughly this video! Happy Trails Alice! 😊

@AliceFordAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Zach the night sky here will blow you away. I’m still mastering my night sky photography so it’s hard to show just how wonderful it is. I can imagine some of the places you have to climb as an electrician would be harrowing. Thanks so much for sharing

@zachf6256 10 месяцев назад

@@AliceFordAdventures There isn’t a doubt in my mind that would suggest you will knock it out of the park! When an art form is derived from passion, the end result will be breathtaking! Having seen the northern lights more times than I can count, their beauty never gets old or taken advantage of. Alike the night sky and constellations, it’s a very special thing! And yes. Rope access and work at heights is a little daunting. Cell towers, and industrial plate structure climbs in excess of 150’ am be gnarly. I refer to myself as an athlete turned construction athlete 🤣 Have an awesome week ahead and Happy Trails!

@jayr9957 10 месяцев назад

WOW!! How incredible was that drive/experience Alice? And what a beautiful name "Island in the Sky" district! Thank you so much for another awe inspiring video/adventure, truly stunning! You made my day! Canyonlands is the only one out of Utah's MIGHTY FIVE I haven't made it out to but have been dying to explore for years and this video/adventure is only going to add fuel to that fire. I have admired and followed a lot of your adventures throughout the world over the years but I would have to say you seemed a bit emotional in this one when you were sitting in your car (looked like you were tearing up? What was going through your mind?) and when you were at various viewpoints taking in the sceneries that I can imagine would leave anyone with an appreciation for nature utterly flabbergasted and mesmerized. Please keep up the magnificent and bountiful work you've been doing and continue to inspire nature lovers and adventure seekers for years and decades to come. I have nothing but sheer admiration for your spirit and work :)

@db.mc2 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Alice 🙂 Off topic, but if you use some Flood brand Penetrol(paint additive) on those faded fender flares, it will bring them back to black. Just make sure you use some nitril gloves when applying it, and let them set for 24 hours after 👍

@AliceFordAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Unfortunately they are plastic. I use this plastic restore every once in a while but it’s been awhile… I’ll look into the stuff you recommend though

@db.mc2 10 месяцев назад

@AliceFordAdventures It works on all plastic trim👍Some guy called Peanut butter man actually did a youtube video demonstrating it. It has a solvent in it which cleans, and also allows oils to penetrate and restore.Linseed oil alone just makes plastic brittle, Penetrol does not. All the other trim restore stuff doesn't last.

@ff-us6vy 10 месяцев назад

Hi Alice, Looking forward to your Needles video. It's my favorite place in the world for hiking! This video was excellent as always. It seems, tho, that you didn't have the opportunity to hike much. If you have the chance, let me recommend four great hikes in the Island in the Sky. Three of them descend from the mesa to the White Rim Road, Lathrop Canyon Trail and Gooseberry Trail on the Colorado River side, and Murphy Hogback Trail on the Green River side (I think you called it Murray when you mentioned the overlook). Most amazing of all is the fourth one, Syncline Loop Trail, which circles Upheaval Dome. Happy hiking Alice!!
