@@ryanjbuckingham I'll have to do one next time haha. I thought about doing one here, but I was in a hurry and also alone 😬

@ invite me next time and you won't be alone lol

It's pretty amazing, right?

Thanks! It's an incredible place 😃

Thanks! I thought so too!

Just by a little haha. 😄

Haha nice! Loved seeing the old car!

@MurphysLawMedia yeah haha, I wasn't expecting to see that there.

Hey! I use a GoPro HERO8 for most of my footage. I sometimes will also use my phone (Galaxy S10e) for a shot or two.

Yeah 😬, luckily he was a good sport about it though. I felt bad for loosing it haha.

I was probably out 30-60 meters from the middle of the beach. If the dolphins are there, they tend to swim through that whole area.

@ Thankyou so much!!

@hannahjoybryant You're welcome!

Thanks! Yeah, I think I remember people being out there with snowmobiles. My group just went a short ways by foot, though.

Hey! We used microspikes when we did it. They were nice in a few spots that were a little more icy. I put a link to the ones we used from Amazon in the description.

@ thank you for the info and quick reply !!

@itsjustajoke4679 you're welcome 🙂

@@mrl3guy Aw dang, that's a bummer. I hope you get another chance to see them sometime. 🙂

Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool! 😃

Hey! I think the entrance fee was around $15 per person, if I remember correctly. I think there was an additional fee for around $5 for bringing certain types of cameras in as well. They had guides available, but they were not required.

Thank you! 😁

@murphytravelsofficial sure!

Thanks! Yeah, I love seeing the turtles! They are awesome!

It probably depends on the kid. I haven't been to Playa Mia, but it looks pretty kid friendly in pictures.

@@murphytravelsofficial thanks

@@murphytravelsofficial Thanks !! By Chance do you know if we can go to this park by taxi from cruise port

I'm not sure. We used a rental car. But I'd guess a taxi would probably take you.

@@murphytravelsofficial thanks

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. 🙂

It was the first week of August. 😀⛰️

You can swim/wade in most of them. Catarata La Pintada just has a lookout spot where you can see the falls from up higher.

It's a great hike!

Yep even in the rain.

It's definitely something to keep in mind and be aware of. I haven't seen either in the area yet, but I know there are both mountain lions and a few black bears in these mountains.

Nice! Yeah, I think it's worth doing the entire trail, if you can. It's one of my favorites in the area.

@@murphytravelsofficial We are gonna try. My son thinks the flatter areas of the hike, opposite the angels landing end, will be too boring

Good luck and have fun! I didn't think any of the trail was boring, but I enjoy long hikes and seeing new scenery.

Thanks! It's a fun one!

It's from last year haha. But I'm hoping we'll have that much snow soon here in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon soon. ❄️

Thanks! I have two pairs of gloves. For the uphill and rappel, I'm actually using a pair of leather "work" gloves I got from Walmart a few years ago. They breath super well and have great dexterity, but don't do good if it's too cold or wet. I don't know what the actual brand of them are though because all the text wore off the label. I actually tried to find the same pair recently and couldn't find the exact ones. For the downhill I've got a pair of Outdoor Research Arete gloves.

@ love it thank you!

@LEGENDofBEANY you're welcome!

In the winter when the road closes, it's about 1 mile to the trailhead and then about 2.2 miles to the hot springs.

Yeah, the snow makes it more difficult to follow the trail. I usually use a GPS map on my phone that shows both where the route/trail is and where I am. If I get too far off the trail I can use the GPS to head back in the right direction.

@ thank you so much

The dolphins I saw were pretty close to the surface. I swam out probably 100 meters from shore and waited for a while until a small pod of dolphins swam past me. The dolphins don't show up every day, but it is a pretty popular spot.

I'm glad you got to experience it. It's an amazing place!

These shots were all around Pebble Ski Resort area a couple winters ago. 🏂

@@murphytravelsofficial I love Pebble creek I thought it looked familiar

Nebo would be a good one! I've been meaning to get that one checked off. 😀

Thanks!

The trail is 3-4 miles total, depending on which parking spot you start at. It's an out-and-back trail with a loop in the middle. You can make it shorter if you skip the loop to the 400 year old tree. It probably took us about 2 hours to do the full trail.

This was my first time hiking Twin Peaks, so I don't know exactly how much harder/easier it is to go the direct route up to the saddle. I did go down that route, so I can say that it is a little shorter with less total elevation gain than the Robinson's variation since you don't go up and down any smaller peaks along the way. However it seemed like the Robinson's variation had a lot less scree/loose rocks to get up than the normal way. The Robinson variation might also have a little more scrambling/exposure, depending on the exact route you take.

I would agree with murphy - they're about equal in difficulty - Robinson has more scrambling/exposure, but it avoids that horrible ascent to the 10,780 saddle between Twins and Sunrise - Robinson also offers that great view of Twins' north face - and best of all you can connect them as a loop from the same trailhead.
