a freezing but beautiful sunset hike with my golden retriever

The road to this hike is usually closed by this time of year, but since we hadn't had any major snowfall yet, the road was still open. I decided to take Nala for a last minute trip and check this one off. We usually do this trail a few times a year, and the last couple times we did it, we got stuck in a pretty nasty thunderstorm on the way down. This time, we were blessed with cold but beautiful sunset conditions, and I am so glad we made the trip out.
P.s. I definitely had a little altitude sickness on the way down but we made it out okay :)
Trail: Bald Mountain 11,943 feet at the summit
Location: Uinta Mountains, Utah
2.7 miles round trip, 1,118 ft elevation change

I teared up watching this. Seriously Nala must be the happiest dog on earth being able to explore the world, living the dog dream, and have someone who enjoys it just just as much as she does by her side. Beautiful video 🧡

[@AdventuringWithNala]

Aww thanks for watching Courtney. I just want her to have the best life. I’m happy she enjoys doing this stuff just as much as I do 🫶❤️

[@Trish120461]

[@jeaniethompson5653]

No woman can ever compete with Nala. She is the love of your life ❤

[@Clydesirota]

There’s no competition. The more you love animals you more you people. I know, I had both. Love is the only thing that is bigger than infinite.

[@AdventuringWithNala]

I’ll work on it! We got a new camper trailer so we should be releasing a lot more content over the next few months!

[@AmySue-jd2gx]

I also love when Nala does the trust fall when you are waking up. She is so silly and she loves socks and my yorkie loved anything in the laundry basket that was dirty just like Nala .

[@lamarblake]

Chris your enthusiasm is infectious. Your videos with Nala always put me in a beautiful mood. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with Nals!!

[@abhayrajsinghchauhan8946]

Does my heart good to see you and Nala making happy memories 🥹🧡

[@samanthabell4219]

Your filming and editing skills are brilliant, i felt like i was at the cinema watching a movie about the unconditional love between a man and his dog. The music and your narrative was incredible ❤❤

[@AdventuringWithNala]

aw thank you so much. It's definitely a good bit of extra work to capture everything close to my vision and experience, but it's always worth it. I appreciate the kind words 💛

[@daviddeneuf795]

This guy is amazing: he loves his dog so much.....and he s right: our animals are what we have most precious!!!!!!

[@amham48]

You are a very lucky man with Nala. Dogs are the most incredible, intelligent, lovable, emotional animals and your Nala is special.

[@jetta.silence6356]

[@alyssam.6810]

the panorama of the horizon gave me chills. so beautiful. Nala was glowing like the scene when Luke Skywalker is looking out over the two sun. glad you two had a wonderful hike.

[@ricks-excellentadventure2878]

I don’t know which was more beautiful. The sunset or the love in Nala’s eyes in that one clip with her sitting looking up at you.

[@barbmiller9629]

This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you Chris and sweet, sweet Nala.

[@AdventuringWithNala]

Thank you barb 😊

[@dodimichaud8673]

I just adore the pure joy that you have in whatever you do…stompin’, playing with Nala, watching the sunset, everything. You and Nala make me smile all the time!

[@AmySue-jd2gx]

I love seeing Nala do her stomps it brings me joy to see how much she enjoys hiking and she is so silly. I love when she gets the zoomies. I am developmentally delayed but I had a service dog but I lost her 4 years ago but I really enjoy seeing Nala and how silly she is. She makes my day.

[@muddymaker3721]

Nala looks like a golden angel in the light of the setting sun☀

[@theliterarytarot]

Nala is my favorite dog to watch on all the dogs online. I just love her playfulness, sweetness and her wise face. And what a beautiful (if cold) hike!

[@MBFavazza]

You just made me smile on this dreary and snowy day here in Michigan. You and Nala make my day.💜💜💜

[@eewahnah]

You're such beautiful beings! ❤ The landscape is splendid, especially being in a city where snow is kinda rare 😢

[@carolynbrown4720]

This made me cry for some reason, the beauty of the land and sunset and of course the love in each of your eyes toward each other. The best of friends for sure!

[@rhannalewis9406]

Gorgeous shots like always, you have such a great photographer/filmmaker's eye! I thought those rays peeking over the mountain looked amazing, but the red light on Nala was awesome! And she looked like she had good time on this one, those zoomies were so cute! Thanks for another video Chris, they're always so inspiring and uplifting ❤

[@Angelikita170]

That trail is WAY too narrow and steep drop off! My stomach clenched worrying about Nala falling off. (Oh, you too pawdad, of course 😉) beautiful landscape👍♥️🇨🇦

[@TaylorZ2]

I don't know if I love the videos OR the love Chris has for his dog more! They are soul mates. The love they have for each other is immeasurable. As someone who recently lost their dog, this has even more of an impact.

[@threepurrs]

Oh my, the light on the hills is breathtaking….. and look at her beautiful face 💕💕💕💕

[@sandyt879]

Your video's give me hope in what sometimes feels like a hopeless world. I too teared up watching this. I lived in Utah as a child (now in Alabama) and also had a beautiful Golden named Sadie a long time ago. Watching the two of you enjoy life in such a gorgeous setting makes me want to do it all over again... both Utah and another Golden- along with hikes and camping and just living life with the joy and positivity you exude. . Thanks for all you two do for us.

[@lb1460]
