Backpacking Coyote Gulch In 4K | Grand Staircase Escalante | Backpacking Utah

[@aaronfulwider779]

Nature has that power to put us in perspective against something that is greater and older. Timeless! Love the reminders that we are mere specks in the universe. Humbled!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Hi Aaron. I am constantly humbled out there. That is one of the aspects I love so much about nature. I think nature is the “real world” and feel more strongly about that the more time I spend in it. :)

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Hey Everybody! I hope you enjoy this week’s video. It was a great trip and we had the place to ourselves! You might notice some focus issues in some shots.I am aware. My lens took a hit in Canada and I have been having issues since. Particularly in low light. Because the high canyon walls created shade on this trip, I was dealing with low light situations more often than not. My apologies. Please bear with me. I have sent my lens to Sony for repair. This video and the next are the only remaining videos shot pre-repair. I’ve purchased an adapter to allow me to use my Canon lenses on my Sony camera in the meantime. Thank you as always for your support. Enjoy the show!

This video made my day Catherine, I was able to go on a beautiful hike, and not even get out of bed thanks glad you 2 had fun

Are you going to come back to Canada next summer ??

Cat I gotta agree with some of the other viewers the video looks perfect! Of course my eyes aren’t as sharp as they once were....😳🤔👁👁😝

[@nomad_unknown]

Thanks again for showing me this beautiful place! I'm glad we got to share the experience.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Me too Christine. ❤️

[@mcspin50]

Like I said on Christine's video, this place looks magical! The colors of the rock and leaves, the echo of your voice on the walls and the deer peacefully munching on the vegetation give such a sense of peace.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

It really is Lily.

[@garybromberger4044]

I did not think you could improve your videos beyond the step-up to 4K . . . you just proved me wrong!!! . . . you have now incorporated GORGEOUS STILLS into the beginning, middle and end of you adventures accompanied with music that is sooooooooo relaxing! . . . also you have taken the time and effort to set up a tripod and film beautiful segments of walking on the trail itself . . . I also like that your scenes, whether wildlife, landscape, campsite location, set-up, food prep and/or conversation are "not rushed" and give the viewer time to observe and contemplate the "goings-on" . . . keep up the GREAT WORK!!! . . . and thank you:)

[@leedanielson7452]

Gary that was well said! 👍👌

Thank you so much for the kind feedback Gary. 🙏

Camping right below that arch has to be one of your top ten places to have ever camped! Amazing! 👍😃

It definitely is Karen. There was no question we were going to camp there when we saw we had it to ourselves. That opportunity may never come again.

Another place we didn't know existed! Thank you for taking us on the trip with you. Hopefully we will get to go there as well. We mostly winter camp because of the solitude. Isn't it nice to have the whole place to yourself ? Keep up the great work and be safe.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

It was so nice Todd. Totally unexpected. I had warned Christine ahead of time that the trail would be crowded. Glad I was wrong.

For sure Tim.

Had to chuckle! When I first moved here coyotes would run the ravine behind my house every night - my own coyote gulch lol. Gorgeous scenery & perfect time of the year to visit! Watch the weather! Brian Head's getting snow woo hoo! As always thank you for sharing!

Great video. I did that trip in the late '80's in April. Spring is nice for the wildflowers, greenery and long days, but in the fall you get the color of the foliage. Too bad you didn't have time to make it to Stevens Arch (across the Escalante River from the end of Coyote Gulch).

Thank you so much Mike. Any backpacking trips on the horizon for you?

[@MarmaladeOutdoors]

Catherine Gregory not really, been dealing with an excruciating painful illness for about two months and cannot figure out what it is. I’ve never been in pain this much in my life. My friends and I are sure it’s lymes disease Because I did get bit by two text about a year and a half ago. But after blood test came out negative we’re not sure what it is. I have talk to friends since though and we think I got a false positive because it’s been in my system for a long time. Anyways I plan on going out in the next week or two in and doing a quick overnight trip to test out some new gear so we will see. Thank you for asking by the way

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Mike Lawrence oh no Mike. I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. I hope they get it figured out. Maybe see someone who specializes in lymes. I’ll send some positive vibes your way!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

Really nice! I have to go back to Utah to hike for sure. But a long way from Belgium. Cheers!

[@clayschuetz899]

What an amazingly beautiful place, it almost doesn't look real, like the landscape of some distant world far from ours. And OMG what a place to camp, that is perfect, like camping at a portal to another dimension. I'm almost sad, places like that I long to be in.

[@martinal.7488]

Hi Catherine, I love your videos!!!! I was wondering when you leave camp set up and go for day hike.... do you secure your camping belongings if so how and also do you leave some sort of note that you will be returning to camp there so someone may not think that something happened to you or it is abandoned if you know what I mean??? 🤦‍♀️😃 Thank you for all your hard work making these beautiful videos.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Hi Martina. I just leave my belongings in my tent. I figure people aren’t going to want to carry out extra weight. That’s my hope anyways. lol
