11:30 I’m glad you found Savannah lol we wouldn’t want to lose her in the wilderness 🏕

Nicole!! Thank you so much for such a nice comment, I'm glad you appreciate these vids :) I hope you guys are doing great! Yall are always welcome to come visit us anytime 😄

Hi! We used Kayak the Colorado and they were great to work with. www.kayakthecolorado.com/

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! At the time of our trip, there were no permits required for paddling or camping. I recommend looking into a backhaul service like Kayak the Colorado if you're ever interested in visiting. They have a FAQs page on their website that helps with trip planning. www.kayakthecolorado.com/

@@max.wright thank you for the info

Hi! I believe I brought just an old 5000 mAh battery that actually failed in the middle of the trip (had to charge via a outdoor plug at a motel we passed on day 3 or 4). Since then, I've upgraded both my filming equipment and battery. I now carry a 20,000 mAh I found on Amazon. Ticks were not a problem for me in April. Hope you can make it out there this year. It's a gem of a trail for our state!

Thank you for the kind words! It really means a lot to hear from someone that's been a sub for such a long time!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Check out my more recent stuff if you have the time. I like to think I've improved somewhat over the last year. But still so much to learn when it comes to making videos :) Take care!

@@max.wright Hi Max! I will def check out your other vids. You have a gift! My friend and I thru hiked Tecumseh last weekend and had a blast. Hoping for one more outing before the bitter cold sets in. Happy trails. :)

Thanks for watching! Glad to hear that you like the rock talk :)

I highly recommend :)

Thank you again! It is a lot of effort but it's so worth it

I've actually been there as a kid on vacation with my family. But Savannah hasn't been yet so we're definitely making a trip there!

I really don't know how yall do it 🙏

Yup, there's a trapdoor to keep people and animals from climbing the stairs during your stay. Just remember to be polite to any day visitors and have fun!

I love how you're binge watching these lol! Glad to hear that you enjoy them 😄

She told me all about you! 😄 That's so cool that you have your own channel too. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. What an incredible way to honor and remember him. Thanks for the sub and I hope you enjoy these videos!

@@max.wright Thanks

Here's my reply to a similar comment: Pretty amazing that we can see and interact with rocks that old, isn't it? I was actually a bit off in my video for the dates. Some more recent work on the Navajo Sandstone indicates a bit older age at about 200 million years old. The Navajo has been dated using two different techniques that, for our purposes here, generally agree with each other. The first method is by dating zircon grains within the sand itself and the second method is by uranium-lead dating of carbonate "lenses" that are occasionally found in the unit (I'm even standing in front of one of those localized carbonate layers during my little lecture part of this video). If you would like to learn more, I've linked some great resources on the subject below. Here's a great video from a professor that summarizes the Navajo, including the zircon dating. He begins talking about the ages at about 15 minutes in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3-VmauqhNWWoNk And here's a great paper about the carbonate dating: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article/47/11/1015/573442/Earliest-Jurassic-U-Pb-ages-from-carbonate Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Good question! You can visit even when it's booked (although you cannot go inside unless you have a reservation). I highly recommend visiting for a daytrip even if you can't secure a reservation for an overnight stay. Just be courteous for anyone actively using the tower.

Glad you enjoyed the vid! The water was indeed cold but I couldn't resist jumping in! Truthfully, I'm not a very knowledgeable paddler but the liquid logic kayaks served their purpose well! Lightweight and plenty of room for gear storage.

What's life without a little silliness? 😄

Glad to see that you're enjoying these videos 😄 I'm unfamiliar with the Bison Way Trail, I'll have to look into that one. Stay tuned for some cool stuff soon that's in the pipeline!

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video! If I remember correctly, I believe it was around $225. That includes two kayaks for two days and a drop-off upstream. You can save a lot of money by bringing your own kayaks. That said, it was 100% worth the price.

@@max.wright that is definitely worth the price!

Good question! There are various outfitters nearby where you can rent kayaks, canoes, etc. They'll give you and your kayak a ride upstream so that you can just float back down the river to Lee's Ferry (where we parked our car)
