In this video I explore the extremely rugged backcountry of one of my favorite national parks of the West, one that I think is the most underrated of the five national parks in Utah. Oh, and I didn't see a soul the entire day.

Did you know I have a second channel? It's all about a simple version of fly fishing called tenkara. Here's this week's video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t_x7urt5uYQ.html

Hi, I'm from the UK, love your channel and subscribed. We have only been to Utah once, we drove out to Monument Valley from Grand Canyon village. The only other car we saw was a cop, he asked us what we were doing out there, he said " there ain't nothing out here" we said that's what we liked about it. ❤

@TheSDup 3 года назад

This is so rad! I went down the RU-vid rabbit hole watching overlanding videos. This video started and I'm like, "isn't that the tenkara addict?" Love your fishing videos and they were a big inspiration to my getting started with tenkara fishing. Keep the content coming!!

At 66 and a 2x can c.f.fer survivor I know I'll never climb another mountain like that. Thanks for taking us along. Let's me reminisce about climbing the CO 14'ers in winter. Crazy Kids. You never felt cold till you have stood at 14k in a Feb 80 mph wind. Froze water solid in 30 min in our packs. Now I sit by the warm fore and watch! THANKS from an old fart!

@@SUVRVing Every time you sit your camera down to show us bits of your travels, it must amount to having gone 3 times the distance! Makes for awesome footage, or whatever you call it in the Digital world. I have wondered if you ever forgot a camera - only to realize miles or hours later.

Great video. I loved the closing shots with the drone and free range cow herd. It was also an amazing shot up on the top of the mountain. Watching you climb that last little bit made me a little sick as I have a fear of heights and you were hugging the side of the mountain on your way up. Being from Utah, Capitol Reef is one of my favorite parks. Thanks for sharing a hike I had never heard of.

@danev1969 4 года назад

I tried for this summit last September starting from its northwest side near the road junction. Had fun scrambling and route-finding to make it up to a flat area west of the peak and then around to its south side. Got to its base and saw NOTHING that looked less than super scary without a rope! I decided to call it a day and went back the same way, which was still challenging to find the correct way down. Beautiful, lonely and interesting route for a 59 year old (although I've been doing a lot of this since moving to AZ in 1983! )

@oldmanronerickson2221 4 года назад

Hahaha you climbed the nipple that we always talk about. Thank you so much for filming that view. You did us some good today. We are way to old to do that and you did it just for us. Now we know what that view was. You get a gold star buddy from us oldies wintering it out in Yuma AZ. Utah is our favorite state and we go there every year for the last three years. As soon as spring hits we will go back. And thanks to you we will see things we didn't know about and have missed. I wish you didn't do GPS readings because we don't have one of those. And we travel I. A 29 foot class c and tow a small Geo Tracker 2wd not 4x4. I can fix two wheel drive and never owned a 4x4. Thanks again for all you do and share. Ron and Sue say hello my friend.

I would highly agree that Capitol Reef in Fruita is a gem that many pass by. I was fortunate enough to travel to most all the major parks in the US and found Capitol Reef just by chance looking for somewhere to stay for a night. I stayed longer. The scenery is amazing and you feel like it all belongs to you. One of my personal top 3 places! Kudos for seeking adventure, keep it up.

Stumbled upon your blog. Really enjoyed the adventure. Also I have subscribed. My wife, kids and I went through Capital Reef back in October of 1987. We were on our way out to California to see her family. The kids got a thrill out of scrambling up some of the smaller stepped cliffs. My daughter discovered what a cactus can do to your fingers. Plan on catching up on your other adventures. Take care. Vaughn

I so rarely get vacation time that I don't get a chance to do more than a couple of camping trips a year that aren't within an hour of SLC. Longer trips, we usually go to Zion or Yellowstone. Both are obviously beautiful but the crowds can make me anxious sometimes. Capital Reef looks perfect. Beautiful and quiet. I'll definitely take my boys camping there this Spring.

Was in the area last September, but went to Bryce and Zion. Along the way to Bryce was a smaller park called Red Canyon (it's on the road and many people take pictures of the arch made for the road that goes through one of the fins. Anyway, Red Canyon was totally abandoned when I went there. I hiked the Great Wall trail by myself and I thought that was nuts. Until I saw you doing this.
