Arizona’s Best Views: Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend & Lake Powell Adventure

[@Ramesh_Discovery_science]

I watch your vlogs to enhance my english and learn about geography and also I take your vlogs as my entertainment 😊

[@gypsyinsneakers]

That is so cool!

[@faceheadstudios]

Tons of fun watching all your videos. I live here in Southern Utah, and it's always fun to see the area being explored through others eyes. I've always loved living here and take advantage of getting out into the country as often as I can. As a note, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is amazing too. Less visited, and only open from Spring through Fall...as the elevation is high and snow makes it impossible to drive there, but because it is so high you get the beautiful forest of the Kaibab Mountain and less people. Also, you do have to be careful with slot canyons and rain. Sometimes it's the rain that is above in the Mountains that you have to be concerned about, even if it's miles away, if it's raining in the mountains, they drain into the canyons and fill up the slot canyons and they can be extremely dangerous. They are so dry most of the year, but flash floods can be no joke, so anyone going into the slots, watch the weather forecast and realize that it still can be dangerous even if it's not raining where you are.

In case you're curious about the species of bird flying below at 4:53, my guess is that it's a California condor. This is a species that nearly went extinct some decades ago, but was brought back from the brink, and is now making a great comeback. It truly is huge. I backpacked in from the trail that starts in the village (Bright Angel Trail), then came back out the next day via the Kaibab Trail, back in '90. The next year, I came in from the North Rim, and back out the same way the following day. Coming out took 10 hrs. 45 min. Re. the nearby tribes, just to the east of where you are is the huge Navajo (NAV-uh-hoe) Nation, with the Hopi (HOE-pea) Res. in its center. Nearby is a Paiute (PIE-yoot) res., as well as the Havasupai (have-uh-SUE-pie) and Haulapai (WAH-la-pie) about 40 miles downriver. Down near Tucson are the Tohono O'Odham, Apache (uh-PATCH-ee), and Yaqui (YACK-ee). The Navajo are the largest in the US and Canada, with 170,000 still able to speak their language. Just for the record, the trail you hiked on is the Grandview Trail. If you do any other trails some day, make sure to bring water. Going in without water on a hot summer day can actually kill you. You seem to have responded to the Root Beer float the same way lots of Europeans do, since it reminds you of medicine. An alternative would be a Coke float. You'd like that. The four people who died in the canyon last year probably did so due to a flash flood. We hear stories all the time about flash floods out in the area you're in, and people underestimating the ferocity of them. People have been slammed into the rocks in the slot canyons like you walked through, knocked unconscious, then drowned, if they weren't already dead from the rocks. The thing that makes them so dangerous is that it rains ferociously miles away, then the flood waters rush through dry riverbeds, and into canyons like the one you hiked, and just like that, they're dead.

What Amazing views! Thanks for sharing your trip. I 💙 Zion! 💥👊🏻💥

[@privatename123]

Rented a speed boat with some friends years ago, and water skied a slot canyon in the shadow of Navaho Mtn. Magical. A storm formed up top, then crashed down on us like a lahar, as we raced it back to the marina. The storm won, tossing our boat around, lightning exploding all about. Terrifying, but also magical. What a place. Top 10 in the world, to me: beautiful geography, warm fresh water, sunshine with a daily quick storm for heightened entertainment, right here in the USA, with its 1st world quality. Also in my Top 10 is the urban version, kayaking on the Chicago River just west of Lake Michigan, in a man-made canyon.

[@NepalAlpineJourneys]

Beautiful! Amazing shots, you’re the best at capturing these places! Nava from Nepal

[@gypsyinsneakers]

Thank you Nava! Hope to see you soon❤

[@doubler8684]

So glad you enjoyed the Page area. I lived there for 20 years and there is so much to do there. Lake Powell is one of a kind. Camped at Lone Rock Beach so much that I can't tell how many times. Best thing about living there was when the weather turns bad or the wind starts blowing hard you just go home!

[@elsienorback7689]

Epic shots and footage! Love 💕 your vlog.

[@marlonandres4122]

[@funnywalatag4440]

My exams are coming and your videos are like energy booster... Keep it up dear susane. Hope one i will meet you somewhere❤

[@RandomRob3000]

Excellent coverage of the area, I would also recommend hitting the North Rim as well, it's a little bit closer to Page than the South Rim. And on the way there you cross the Navajo Bridge where you have a good chance to see some re-introduced California Condors (the largest land bird in North America). I've lived in Page for the last 4-years, moved here because of the amazing desert views and proximity to so many great parks & monuments.

[@StevePetrica]

I had a similar response to the Grand Canyon: It's one of those places that completely lives up to its reputation. Niagara Falls is like that, too.

[@khaninrajbongshi9569]

NXT time wen u come to India, come to the land of 7 sisters. ( Assam, Manipur, mizoram, nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, tripura, meghalaya) These 7 states called together as 7 sisters. There's many more natural things to explore. I know u ll surely love it. ❤ Loads of Love and hugs.

[@gypsyinsneakers]

My pleasure 😊 glad you enjoyed it

[@elsienorback7689]

Oh yeah, I love Root Beer floats. I use to buy that at A & W when I was a kid in Montana. The flavor or Root Beer tastes different now because when I was a kid, they used real sugar instead of syrup to sweeten the drink.

[@varaprasad666]

The nature beauties are gorgeous in this video

[@jeffhampton2767]

Your photography is the best😊

[@sujendebbarma-5997]

So beautiful place

[@meandyouagainstthealgorith5787]

You're in my neighborhood now. Going south Wupatki National Monument is my favorite. People lived in the volcanic ash from a recent explosion 700 to 800 years ago. Oak Creek Canyon is a good trip, but very crowded. If you're a skiier I hear Snow Bowl is open. While there don't overlook the subalpine and alpine vegetation.

[@wuxiagamescentral]

When you get to doing Oregon I suggest going to the 3 Sisters. Southern Oregon is also super beautiful to drive through

The bird in your vlog is the Condor, which is a protected species. They once almost became extinct. They live in the Grand Canyon. Their wing span is up to nine feet, or three meters.

Love your videos.

[@garyleibitzke4166]

Been to all of those spots as I lived relatively close to them in southern California for decades. Loved the video. Those people are correct, you DO NOT want to be in those slot canyons when it's raining. They can go from dry to raging flood in minutes.

[@gypsyinsneakers]

Thanks so much!

Im not sure if you know but in Arizona there is a place called Lake Havasu City. It is actually the location of the old London Bridge

I actually just purchased a US Parks pass. Didn't know they existed. Thank you

[@jaynair2942]

Amazing! The rock formations of Grand Canyon are so surreal.! Though natural formations, they look Kinda artificial.! Maybe, some alien life exists there that we can't fathom or explain with our logic.! If you have time, visit Key West, one of the beautiful islands in Florida.! It's many attractions. And Hawaii if possible! All the best wishes for you and your buddies 👍

[@gypsyinsneakers]

It definitely looks surreal!! So so beautiful

[@shawnshawnmoviereviews]

Make sure you guys go to Antelope Canyons. It is really amazing and so photographic. But there make sure there is NO storm as you can easily drown in a flash flood with very tight sand canyons

[@JaisonS-t6y]

Thanks 9

[@DavidSmith-mt7tb]

You really should have made time to continue on in to California to visit Sequoia and King's Canyon national parks, home to the largest trees in the world (the massive Sequoia redwoods), the highest mountain in the continental United States, and some epic landscapes and waterfalls.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

At some point lost to history, someone was the first person ever to see the Grand Canyon. It's amazing enough when you have some idea of what you'll see when you visit it. But over ten thousand years ago, someone encountered the canyon who had no idea there was anything there. Imagine what that was like. Ask yourself how those big chunks of wood got stuck so far above the ground in the slot canyon. That's why it can be dangerous to be in there when it rains. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!

[@elsienorback7689]

Yes, staying safe with common sense is important because the weather can change dramatically very quickly. With the narrow drainages and heavy rainfall it could soon become a river so be careful.

[@Dziadzia-d6e]

As you know, there are parts of the Grand Canyon without guard rails. Everyone is told to keep 6 feet away from the ledge but there are always people tempting fate by going closer. I even saw French family where the father was on one ledge, directing his wife and kids on another for a picture. All I could think of was, one misstep and one or the other are gone. Flash floods in those regions are no joke. It doesn't take much.

[@gypsyinsneakers]

That is so crazy wow!

If you drove from page to the South rim then you drove through the western edge of the Navajo reservation.

[@barryfletcher7136]

Some people like root beer but others don't. No idea why. However, try a Coke + vanilla ice cream float instead of a root beer float. I use a lot more ice cream in the float than what you got in the video.

You probably missed one of the best places in that area in Bryce canyon.

[@wuxiagamescentral]

The reason they were warning about the rain is not because of the slippery rocks which is indeed a problem, but the real reason is because of flash floods.

[@gypsyinsneakers]

Yes so scary!

It doesn't matter how deep the water is. You're only going to use the top three feet of it.
