We originally hadn't planned on exploring Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Our compass points northwest towards northern California and Washington state to visit family. However, freezing temperatures north of our location forced us to linger in the Las Vegas area for a little longer. Though it's not as if we were upset - our site Jenni found for us in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge was perfect! We rarely mind having to stay in secluded sites like this for longer than planned.
Not only was our site perfect, but we had gotten numerous recommendations from subscribers to visit Red Rock Canyon while near Vegas. After looking into it, we were surprised to find just how expansive Red Rock Canyon is! With nearly 200,000 acres of land, this BLM managed land stretches beyond Las Vegas both northward and southward. And with over two-million visitors each year, we knew Red Rock Canyon was worth exploring.

I can’t get enough of Sweetie videos 😂

[@mariecraig239]

You take such beautiful care of “Sweetie” it makes me smile. Just loved this video, and it would not have been nearly as awesome had “Sweetie” not been with you! Great job you three!

[@graciesmith569]

No doubt, Sweetie's loving life! You're an awesome mom and dad.

[@mariagaratearambula3639]

Thank You for taking me on this beautiful hike lol.

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you for coming along with us! 😁

[@Steve_Farwalker]

Sweetie brought tears to my eyes. (9:22)

[@speedy423]

We're an older couple w/ a female dog setting out f/t boondocking within the next 2-3 months. We really like you 2, Sweety and your wonderful videos. Hopefully our paths will cross at some point so we can say hi.

[@markofak]

I’m glad Sweetie had fun! Nice video

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you Mark =)

[@gapeach51170]

The more video's I watch the more I realize that Sweetie is my fav on your channel. :) :) Her humans are sweet and all and make great videos but she is awesome!

[@tammymcdowell9469]

Looks like Sweetie had a great time hiking! Great video! Thanks for taking us a long.

[@billangelo2190]

Great ending shot, dog tired is good tired. Another good job, thanks for sharing

[@gopugmama4408]

Wonderful video! My husband and I absolutely love your channel . . . and all of your pets!! Sweetie is an amazing dog and you are are awesome dog parents. I want to full time RV!! Thank you for letting us come along with you to travel America. Blessings!

[@lustraveller717]

Sweetie is such a sweetie. I just love Rottie's. I really enjoyed your video!

[@FateUnbound]

She is a sweetie through and through. We love that dog to death 😄

[@Tygerlady99]

Had a good chuckle when looking at Sweetie passed out after your hike. She's so beautiful!

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you, we think she's beautiful too! She was so tuckered out from that hike, it was pretty difficult for her but we made it! 😊

[@bird10498]

Superb videography! I travel the world on my pc because it's the only way I can and your videos never disappoint. Thanks for sharing this fabulous scenery. And enjoy! You're only young once.

[@RVBarndominium]

WOW! Sweetie is like a mountain goat going up those rocks! She did great, Atta girl! I love that you took her with you. Great video!

[@FateUnbound]

Haha yeah we were happily surprised to see how much of a champ she was hopping up onto all the rocks even with a pack on! We love taking her with us, getting to share these adventures with her adds so much to the experience. Thanks again 😊

[@TravelswithYoly]

Beautifully shot and constructed story telling :-) I'd love to see Sweetie when she gets back to the RV. We always enjoy every dog we run across while we're hiking and take every opportunity to pet them and love them if the owners allow us to. It looks like Sweetie once again lives up to here name ..... she was really digging the children in that one shot :-)

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you! She was so tuckered out after getting back to the RV she immediately hopped on the bed and passed out haha! Most people also want to say hi to Sweetie and we always let them since she loves it. Those kids made our day and our pup was hamming it up!

[@JBHARLEYGUY]

Just love your videos!! I wish you would upload more than once a week! I think your subscriber count would increase if you published more videos.

[@FateUnbound]

Thanks Josh! We used to upload twice a week every Tuesday and Thursday but it got to be far too much. Both of us were putting in over 70 hours a week working on Fate Unbound, we need at least one day off haha!

[@tekmantoo]

Great opening sequence and music. I just love it. Watching Sweetie on your hike and the love you have for her in helping her out is so touching. Beautiful area and beautiful video!

[@FateUnbound]

Thanks Andy!! Our site there in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge was awesome, we were the only ones for a full half mile at least! We love sharing experiences like this with our pup and some of those rocks were just too big for her to get over on her own haha. Thanks again 😊

[@MoHobyDick]

New Sub here, and Sweetie is so blessed to have such loving, wonderful dog parents! ❤️

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you that is so kind of you to say!

[@leroysouza5066]

Beautiful video. And that dog is beautiful . Such a well mannered dog. Good job you three.

[@kittyfoyle2119]

Red Rock is on my bucket list. Calico Tanks Trail looks like an awesome hike. Thanks for sharing the information. That Sweetie girl is something else. I just love her.

[@FateUnbound]

It was incredibly beautiful there and very well maintained. I'm sure there are a ton of great hikes in that area and I'm sure we'll be back some time in the future. Yeah Sweetie is an awesome companion, we love sharing these experiences with her.

[@dmalott0908]

Sweetie is such a beautiful dog. Love that she got to make this hike with you guys! Great video as always!

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you David, we think so too! We love sharing experiences like this with her, it adds to the enjoyment.

[@ameridreamlens6828]

Another great hiking video! And happy y’all got to take Sweetie!! We have put this hike trail on our list of travels..... Y’all were right when you said Sweetie was going to zonk out when you got home to the RV!! Thank You again for the great scenery!

[@FateUnbound]

Thanks Kathy! It was gorgeous there, we weren't prepared for it to be so beautiful. She had to work hard hopping up onto all the rocks, at some parts it was darn near rock climbing, so we knew she was really tuckered out haha.

[@dontask8979]

If the dogs pack is fitted correctly that handle on the back can be used.

[@jackyoungblood8011]

Sweetie needs her own booties. I so want to get out there also with my black Lab.Thanks for the inspiration.

[@FateUnbound]

We have a pair of booties for her, but she kicks them off immediately. We're looking for a better solution but haven't found one yet.

[@tracyk.8306]

Loved the video! Sweetie is so cute! Maybe you could get those little booties for her paws when hiking? Also, I think there’s another park not to miss, the Valley of Fire. A Streamin’ Life went there and also very beautiful landscape with red rocks.

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you Tracy! We have a set of booties for her but she just kicks them off every time we try to put them on. They use velcro so they're not very secure. We've heard lots of good things about Valley of Fire too!

[@raymondschneider5217]

Really a super neat vid, guys. Have you investigated some protective boots for Sweetie's paws? It would help with the sharp / rough stones and rocks, but, also, the heat; we know how hot rocks/sand can be (both direct and reflective light). Keep up the good work. Safe travels.

[@7jimtemple]

You two inspire me. Love following your adventures.

[@FateUnbound]

Wow thank you Jim we LOVE hearing that! Our main goal with this channel is to inspire others to chase their dreams like we did so that is so awesome to hear 😊

[@pstomorrowishere5776]

We got married out there back in 2009, it was gorgeous

[@FateUnbound]

Oh that's awesome! What a great place to get married 😊

[@fr3atlast448]

Love that you took Sweetie...👍💕🚍

[@FateUnbound]

She loved it and was so tuckered out from it. We love sharing these experiences with her 😊

[@surf2trails]

Very helpful review as I am heading there next week with my two pups @theenglishgoldens that are 9 and 7 years old. I am researching trails that are easy for them to do, so this was a great review to see first hand. Much appreciated.

[@ElementaryExplorers]

That looked like such an awesome hike! Glad the three of you were able to conquer it together. ❤️👍🏻

[@FateUnbound]

It really was a great hike. Red Rock Canyon is incredibly beautiful. It was more difficult with a dog but totally worth it.

[@grateful1929]

Fate Unbound Where was your cat and rabbits? I would be afraid to leave them out there with no one around .

[@UncaDave]

If you are going to be out west so much you might as well get his and her cowboy hats to keep the sun off you all. Sweetie looks great as always and glad you had a great time.

[@FateUnbound]

A pair of hats would probably be a good idea. Jenni has a big floppy sun hat but it's not so good on hikes haha. Yep we all had a great time and were all dead tired when we got home!

[@maryjohns4971]

Way cool

[@harryleisure2758]

Sweetie hike yea. Sweetie says guys do you really have to tell the world I have dirty paws? lol

[@FateUnbound]

Hahaha we got some questions about dirty paws and tracking it all into the truck and RV so even though she didn't want us to tell the world we did anyway 😋

[@MrEroshan]

The wind in the area has been unreal. Thanks for the hike info.

[@FateUnbound]

No kidding, its unrelenting and the gusts are so bad it shakes the RV and we can rarely keep the awning out. Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed the hike 😄

[@martyemerick4687]

Love your videos!

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you Marty! 😊

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Pure awesomeness ^_^

[@garyausher]

Big dogs rock!

[@FateUnbound]

Heck yeah they do!!

[@stevenwilliams1497]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@t-town8908]

Just found your videos on the solar install, great job! Sub for life!

[@FateUnbound]

Haha thank you! Glad you find them helpful!

[@jordencruley6056]

I love Sweetie! How old is she? I think my rottie might be her twin sister! Great video!

[@DnSAdventures]

Awesome adventure guys! Yea, we have came across trails like that where we were going to have to lift Blaze up like 5-6 ft...needless to say we didn't go that route lol. Have a good one - Shane

[@FateUnbound]

Yeah it was a good one, we all loved it! What kind of dog is Blaze? Sweetie was pretty tough to lift up/down on this hike haha.

[@DnSAdventures]

Blaze is a Greyhound (retired racer). So not SUPER heavy, but awkwardly long and skinny lol. Glad you all made it through the trail ok :) - Shane

[@FateUnbound]

Haha awkwardly long would be tough to carry especially if Blaze started flailing! Sweetie is pretty stout and centered with her weight and is used to being picked up so she's not hard to carry haha.

[@floydcooley1]

Really enjoying your videos. One thing that would be great for your subscribers that I have seen a couple other RV KZbinrs do is to put your GPS coordinates in where you're staying. For a novice boondocker like us that is very helpful and gives us some ideas of where it is beautiful and safe to stay. Keep up the good work!

[@FateUnbound]

Thanks! Jenni actually creates an in-depth site review of every site we stay in with all the information you'll need when staying there including the GPS coordinates. Here's the playlist of all the sites: kzbin.info/aero/PLX4AHF_XaLMXhSz2UWloyEQpYlbHXia0p The review for the site we were at in this video comes out this Sunday!

[@floydcooley1]

Fate Unbound thanks again. Can't wait to see more and see your channel grow

[@robertlovesdogs4824]

Hi 🐰🐰😺🐕👍👍😎

[@FateUnbound]

Howdy! 😁

[@gregf438]

Have you guys seen the solar washing machine?

[@rvnut1133]

Awesome video guys! However, way too much stuff on Sweetie with all that fur and the heat - poor thing.

[@Forest_Actual]

Atta boy, make the dog and Jenni carry the packs!!!! HaHa!!!!

[@FateUnbound]

Hahaha yep! In all seriousness though it's so I'm free do film and don't have to constantly hand packs back and forth. Don't worry neither of them were heavy.

[@wellsonwheels457]

M. Forest Shipps I’m sure he’s got the camera! Beautiful hike

[@marygenre943]

Curious about your solar. Did that come with the unit or did you add it. What do you operate off of it and for how long? I just found your channel today. Very nice. I've enjoyed watching your adventure.

[@FateUnbound]

I installed the solar system myself, our trailer did not come with it unfortunately hahaha. We have a playlist of videos called "RV Solar", those videos will answer all the questions you asked :D ~David

[@robinmccune3438]

Love the size of that fanny pack for short hikes. Please let us know the name and where to purchase.

[@8OnTheSide]

Hello! Thank you for sharing. I am a newbie to your channel and was curious since your images are so clear, what lens are you guys using with the sony 6000? Thank you again and I am looking forward to finishing all your video's and all the reading from your blog and other spots this weekend. Be Careful! M

[@FateUnbound]

Believe it or not we are just using the kit lens that came with the camera haha. Thank you for the compliment on our video and image clarity :D

[@MarkTarsis]

I wonder if any of the paw protection products would help sweetie a bit. I know the booties seem a bit much. But there is paw wax(Musher's Secret) that seems pretty low annoyance for dogs.

[@FateUnbound]

Hm interesting...we'll look into Musher's Secret. We do need a solution for her paw pads because she is pretty good at ripping them open just when playing fetch or wrestling. She plays like a wreckless puppy and goes full bore haha.

[@floridablackbear7318]

:)

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

I've heard that someone make trail boots for dogs to protect their paws from sharp rocks and hot terrain....

[@FateUnbound]

Yeah we're looking for a set of dog booties that will protect her feet. What we have now doesn't work, they use velcro and she just kicks them right off.

[@lorinelson930]

Where did you get Sweeties pack?

[@FateUnbound]

We bought if off Amazon, it's a Kurgo Baxter and it comes in different sizes and colors. Here's a link: amzn.to/2HmJogg

[@jerrywicker3451]

In one of your videos you said you have a generator for the ac if needed. What kind is it?

[@FateUnbound]

We have a Generac GP3300. It is big enough to power the whole RV and was fairly inexpensive. I would have loved to have gotten an inverter generator but they are too expensive for us. Here is a link to what we have amzn.to/2HjhCFM

[@jerrywicker3451]

Yes the generac is loud like most regular gens are.This is what i'm getting and replacing the onan on my rv with. www.amazon.com/WEN-56310i-Compliant-Inverter-Generator/dp/B01END4IES/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1524433946&sr=8-3&keywords=wen+inverter+generator+3100&dpID=51drwFNMHML&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

[@TomCooper]

I hated that video. "She's in doggy heaven?" I kept expecting you to tell us how she DIED. So glad she's ok. ;)

[@FateUnbound]

She's in doggy heaven because of the kids all loving on her! Sweetie is completely fine, alive, and happy! Sorry for the scare.

[@TomCooper]

Fate Unbound now I have to go back and watch again so I can enjoy it for what it is, instead of suffering through what it isn't.

[@roguegypsy7827]

Made us think she died 😩

[@FateUnbound]

Wow I'm sorry! No she was in doggy heaven with all those kids loving on her, she's alive and happy as can be!

[@ckrk7824]

I gasped when I saw the title also, I was expecting the worse.

[@jerrywicker3451]

Shake that pack girl .lol
