You two did an amazing job sharing the beauty of this National Park. I love the way you produce your videos. The planning, filming and narration are great! My wife and I visited and tent camped at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Early June of 2000. It is an amazing National Park. We did not do the extreme hiking that you did, but we did enjoy many of the overlooks along the south rim and did some mild hiking.

I'm impressed with you two, this hike is exactly why I subscribed to your channel. So few people would attempt this. You've carved out a nice KZbin space between just "tourists" and "hikers". I did this hike about a decade ago and my biggest regret afterwards was not planning to spend the entire day (minus up/down) down in the canyon. It was so beautiful and interesting down there!

It is too bad that the East Portal road is closed because that is a fantastic way to see part of the canyon and learn that there was a town down there during the construction of the water tunnel. In May we went to the North Rim for the first time in all the times we've visited the park.

That Gunnison route is just a crazy hike if you can call it a hike ! I did that last July while camping two nights in the park. That mile up and down from the Wilderness Boundary is ridiculous ! Slowest 2 miles of my life ! But so much fun. I sat on that same rock soaking my feet and had the bottom to myself for 30 minutes before another couple made it down. While I was taking a break going back up I sat with a young lady that had quit going down and was waiting for her boyfriend. I spotted a guy going off route in the distance and was able to yell and get his attention and turns out it was the guy she was waiting for ! What an adventure. PS, I was 66 when I did that.

My Shadow is a Standard Poddle, and we have paddle boarded, kayaked and hiked all over the Sierra. Poodles are not fragile as I suspect most suspect. Kona is a wonderful doggie I love how you show her on your adventures and cater to her as well. That alone makes me watch. I love the upbeat feel of your presentations. After I watch your vids, I have trouble letting down. They are so uplifting. Don't much care about the dissecting of the food items but just jump through those.

@@AdventuresofAplusK It definitely snowed on me. Also, another cool thing on that North Vista trail, is there are a lot of river rocks in certain parts. Which I thought was awesome because the river is 2200 feet below. It was like hiking through time.

Good morning, I came across your channel as i was researching Utah and Colorado. I think i watched every video of you two in the area. Thank you for your upbeat wonderful videos. You captured each hike so well and including the length and difficulty was really helpful for me. I am active, but have a chronic Achilles injury so i am limited in miles. Your videos were so helpful! PS you are a really strong bad ass couple. I Love it. Thank you!

I've been here twice. Once we a kid and again when we took out children, I had no idea that you could go to the bottom. I would love to see the canyon from the river!

Way good video….and crazy wild hike to the bottom. Thank goodness for you two young adventurers to do that and vlog it….this old guy would have died! 👨🏻🦳 but now I can say I saw it. Thanks and hopefully you did find some color weather and relief from the horrendous heat. 😓

Definitely an extreme trail. Knowing that the return trip would be even harder would keep me from doing it anyway. Black canyon is underrated and I would guess most Coloradoans don't know it's there. I was there in 1994 and 1996.

Wow, that hike was serious. Congrats on conquering it. About 25 or 30 years ago I took a helicopter tour over the canyon. I liked your views from in the canyon better.

Y'all are amazing! I love this video and what I have seen from you both. Your energy is wonderful. You make me wish I were younger, but I ain't done yet! I'm a young at heart 62 and have done a lot of adventuring myself. Now I'm looking at going down into the canyon on this very trip and camping and doing some fly fishing. Hiked Guadalupe Peak, Chisos Mountains, Tallulah Gorge, and many, many more in my day. Can you make any recommendations for an aging yet eager enthusiast? Thanks for what you do! JC
