Laughing in the Face of Danger | Angels Landing & Remote White Pocket

Perhaps the most dangerous trail in Zion National Park, as well as one of the most dangerous hikes in any national park in the country, is Angels Landing. We crammed into our final days in Utah the Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks, including the famous Angels Landing hike. Watch and see in this video. We’ve taken in so much, yet seemingly so little. It must be said that Utah has been epic! Indescribable beauty, unspeakable majesty, and a few scary caves and canyons. Yep, we’ll be back!
We’re up and away to White Pocket, Arizona where we finally get into some sand, enough to require airing down the tires. The landscape looks like it's covered in, well, cream cheese icing! Good thing Meg could work her magic on a tall order of Van Life Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls. We know you’re going to enjoy them … juuuust maybe not as much as we did! 🤪
Hang around at the end for a "wow, that was close" moment in the drone reel moment, and a bit of "run-Forest-run" stuff, featuring Alex of course.

The top view at 16:05 is mind blowing! Love the land-the-drone-on-your-hand move! Nice job. Another superb vid.

[@SlowRoamers]

I just fly the drone, the landscape does the rest of the work. 😁😉

[@alistairjackson7658]

@@SlowRoamers true but you gotta fly it well. Remember the crash, in Yosemite was it?

[@TruckCamperCooking]

Love the video. Southwest region of Utah is some of my favorite to explore

[@SlowRoamers]

It’s pretty incredible out there for sure! Thanks for watching!🙌🏻

[@alistairjackson7658]

Agreed. If I were to make a road trip, it'd be SW Utah.

[@EarthRoamingAdventures]

We went through so many drone and camara batteries with the cold temps in white pocket.

[@SlowRoamers]

Yeah, I’d didn’t get nearly as much flying as I’d have liked. It was SO cold.

[@dustyodyssey]

Wow, white pocket looks like a fantasy land! Incredible! Sweets after hiking are the best🤤

[@SlowRoamers]

Heck yeah dude! It’s such an incredible place. I strongly suggest going there and bringing your astro photography brain. Your van could totally make it too.

[@myboxio]

Great video! That BOXIO in there is getting a great trip around the US!😂

[@SlowRoamers]

It sure is!

[@ThatBaldwinLife]

We just did Bryce and a drive through Zion as it was a ZOO in late October. From there we hit up Point Sublime on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Amazing area and great vid guys! Nate

[@SlowRoamers]

We’d have loved to see the north rim but it’s closed during the winter. Thanks for watching, Nate!🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@roaming4adventure-nt8yz]

Great video guys! Those cinnamon buns look totally awesome! Thanks for sharing and bringing us along ❤️

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks so much! Glad you came along for the ride 😁😁🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

Love the drone footage of White Pockets. Didn’t have a drone when we previously visited. I now have to convince my wife to go back. Thanks for sharing your adventure. There’s lots more to see in that area, it’s a paradise!😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍

[@SlowRoamers]

Oh man, there was actually WAYYY more drone footage but the last file corrupted on me. Was very glad I had it though. I think we’ll go back and explore there more one day for sure. Thanks for watching, Lynn!

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

@@SlowRoamers What SD card were you using? San Disk is the most reliable and never had an issue. White Pockets is maybe better than the Wave. Stay safe out there!

[@SlowRoamers]

I think it was an issue with the transfer process, nothing to do with the actual card/

[@ruthjackson5378]

All the smiles and goofyness. We are missing you this Christmas. Those cliff top views were freaky. I don't like them. I seriously could hardly watch. But glad you did so we could see what birds see. Love you two

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks for watching mom! Glad we can take you to the precarious places you won’t go.😁♥️

[@sylvainlaforest4393]

Awesome video guys. The rock formations is out of this world. Happy winter Solstice to you and wishes of safe and happy travels for 2024. ☮️

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks Sylvain!🙌🏻 I think that we’ve gotta go back, that spot was really unreal. Looking forward to longer days. Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!😊

[@cmacrafton]

Nice video! I like the voice overs.

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks for watching! 😁🙌🏻

[@travelingwhilebutch]

Have you thought about installing an onboard air compressor? I have started to look into one for my Chevy Express after getting stuck in Baja.

[@SlowRoamers]

I’ve considered it, but I think I prefer the mobility of a portable compressor. We’ll be getting a larger compressor next year, but the one we have now is a big upgrade from the one we used last year in Baja.

[@AceRph]

Such gorgeous country. Good job setting up the drive-by and walk-by sequences. Lots of work to get them shot, but they add value to the production. Good job. Happy holidays on the road, A&M. 2024 is going to be great for you two.

[@SlowRoamers]

It’s big, dry and prickly, but we love it, even if I have to run back and forth through it a whole bunch of times.🤣 Thank you, as always, for watching and and encouraging us along the way. We’re eager to see what 2024 holds. Happy holiday!

[@alistairjackson7658]

@AceRph, TRUTH!

[@tikienvy4814]

Went to Zion a couple of summers ago and didn’t do Angel’s Flight precisely because it was too busy. I’m glad to know they’ve taken steps to make it more safe. Smiling face is better than “model” face!

[@SlowRoamers]

Yeah, even with 250/day I feel it’s still too crowded. But hey, that’s just my opinion. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Thanks for watching!🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@manager-businessdeniserdrc7018]

Meg, the cinnamon buns looked delicious regardless that they weren't perfect! Ron litterally said exactly "yummmee" right before Alex did on the video, that is so funny! Also, I have been to Arizona a few times and I loved seeing it again with you guys!

[@SlowRoamers]

Yummmmeee was an apt description, they were delicious as I recall. Arizona is a really cool state, we’d love to explore more of it in the future. Thanks for watching you two!😊

[@woffordsoverlandjourneys8618]

No way in hell my black behind is doing that😅, I'll just stick to overlanding in my van

[@SlowRoamers]

Bahaha! It’s apparently the most dangerous hike of all the national parks. Well worth it, but not for everyone.🤣

[@SlowRoamers]

Bahaha! It’s apparently the most dangerous hike of all the national parks. Well worth it, but not for everyone.🤣

[@alistairjackson7658]

Ha ha, that's hilarious. Ya, that and eating those cinnamon buns. Rough but someone's gotta do it!

[@alistairjackson7658]

Wow, wow, WOW! Angel's Landing Hike and that ice creamy Arizona landscape.. simply stunning. And you guys look so good when you're laughing together! 😂😂

[@SlowRoamers]

Hahaha, thanks dad.♥️ One of these days we’re gonna get you in a cool vehicle and pull you off the island to come take a look for yourself.😁

[@alistairjackson7658]

Just teleport me!

[@jehlers12]

Damm I was going to be the first comment... Haha!. I took too long to watch. Your last few videos have been great. Utah is my backyard, been to all those places, except for White Pocket! Been all around there, but not actually there. :) Meg, we have a van too, and only an induction stove; looks like you are having good success at making it an oven! Inspiring me to try it. Sourdough cinnamon rolls would be a good first swipe. :) Any helpful tips? We just got back from Mexico last month. It is warmer!

[@SlowRoamers]

We’d love it if we had UT as a backyard, seems like an excellent place to spend A LOT of time! I think using something like an omnia or even cast iron to cook cinnamon buns on the induction will be a challenge, you may need to get yourself a little propane burner if you’re going to do it at camp. We have a cinnamon bun recipe up on our website if you’re interested. www.roamlndr.ca/recipes. We’re stoked to go to Mexico, it’s definitely time to hit the beaches. Thanks for watching!😁🙌🏻

[@Robinxander2024]

Great content guys! I have just started my own journey living full time on the road in my cargo trailer. Currently in northern Idaho waiting for the snow to melt so I too can make my way south. You guys are an inspiration, Thank you!

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks Robin! Glad you found us. Thanks for watching and happy travels!🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@racebanning6390]

THAT WAS AN OVERLOAD OF AMAZING AMERICA CANYONS .. WOW!! THANKS, IM HOPING TO GET THERE SOON. SOUTHERN IDAHO IS ONLY A FEW HOURS TO MOAB FOR A START. SAFE AND HAPPY TRAVELS. I TOO AM CURRENTLY LIMITED TO 2WD, BUT HOPE TO CONVERT MY 2003 SILVERADO OVER TO 4WD STRAIGHT AXLE K SUSPENSION SOME DAY. IN THE MEANTIME IT LOOKS LIKE A SPINDLE LIFT N BLOKS. GOD BLESS🎄🎄❄❄⛄⛄

[@SlowRoamers]

If you’re overloaded, imagine how we feel!🤣 there are so many incredible places out here. Thanks for watching and good luck with the 4x4 swap! You can still make it A LOT of places in 2WD! Happy holidays!

[@LoveTribeOverland]

As a fat kid... I wholeheartedly approve of Cinnabuns at camp!

[@SlowRoamers]

Bahaha! It’s a most excellent experience!🙌🏻
