Kanarra Falls VS. The Narrows Utah

[@lorionodi879]

It's beautiful. Thanks for taking us along C4YT

[@cjv6052]

Loved both of the hikes, we’ve been to the Narrows but never heard of Kanara and it was beautiful!!

[@noelraber7096]

I love when you share hikes, so I can add to my list!!

[@bethb5076]

I’ve never been there but every time I watch someone in the Narrows I think “I am so glad they went and video-Ed so I don’t have to”. That does not look like my kind of hike. I am with Todd. I need it to have an end and a pay off. Also my kids would die of boredom long before the waterfall. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@tinabergeron]

Y'all are soooo cute!!! Love this!!! Taking my son to kanarrah this summer and we can't wait!!! Ty from south Louisiana!!!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Have fun!

[@rjrvadventures]

Great hikes! When we were in Zion...the narrows were closed due to flooding! Kanara Falls looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[@thomasluebbe9524]

Thanks for taking us along on your hikes

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Loved it ALL!! I moved to Zion because of many full-time RVers doing the Narrows!! I LOVE IT

[@miked5728]

We've been to Zion twice... Love the Narrows hike!! Some people prefer the Angel's Landing hike, but we're not fond of heights. (If you fall on the Angel's Landing hike, you die. If you fall on the Narrows hike, you get wet. ) 😁😂🤣

[@vincentkelley6659]

The hikes were beautiful !! Not in our near future, maybe 2024. Thanks for sharing !!

[@user-hc3lq9rv7t]

I agree, I loved Zion!

[@StephaniePaxton]

Loved your video. Very entertaining too. Doing Kanarra falls tomorrow.

[@vickywray7285]

Really breathtaking scenery, the rocks were amazing. When Sheila said ‘run Todd run’, my mind immediately heard ‘run Forrest run’ - lol. I don’t like to have wet feet so I’ll enjoy both hikes from the dry comfort of my home! Thanks for allowing me to do that.

[@60merryweather]

Great hikes and video, the Narrows is so worth the effort, I’m also a ‘just another bend’ and made it to about the 2 1/2 mile area, but like you pointed out, you can do as much or little as you like!

[@pennyfelger9134]

Thanks for sharing👏🏻. At 74…I will never do it but so enjoyed your journey! Loved both hikes while sitting on my couch!!!!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Thanks for following our journey!

[@lindatann3955]

We drove into Zion with our tour guide playing America the Beautiful, and as I looked left and right in awe, I cried (as did others on the trip). I’m with Sheila, Zion is #1! We were unable to walk the narrows but both of your hikes seem wonderful.

[@scottsmith922]

Both hikes are great.

[@dennysisk1100]

Thanks for sharing and taking us along on your hikes, One good thing we didn't even get tired lol 😇

[@vtmkb]

Both looked great.

[@paulbradbury7166]

Thank you for the in-depth view of the narrows awesome video guy's

[@pattismith1331]

The bike ride is my favorite…..done it twice, early morning and then late afternoon. Zion is my #2 park. Yellowstone #1

[@southerngypsy-pollyburnett3104]

Yes, I am with Todd I would favor the first hike. But I hope to at least do the bike ride and the mile walk towards the Narrows. Beautiful scenery and such unusual hikes. Thanks for sharing and giving us the scoop. I also like snakes that are not poisonous. I have a couple of books on identifying snakes.. As usual , a very interesting and enjoyable video. Todd you did really good on these hikes. Safe travels

[@dianestevenson2630]

Loved the video and thank for the two perspectives, they are very helpful. Giving the length of time you take on a hike is helpful too.

[@trevorkraklow4100]

Thanks for sharing!!! Much enjoy your videos!!!

[@neilcherylscott6380]

Looks like a nice little hike!

[@ruthkelley9644]

Both hikes looked beautiful but for me I can not imagine hiking for that many hours. I will just enjoy these videos. Thank your for sharing. See ya in Georgia

[@markreynolds9570]

What, you're there and no angels landing? Great stuff you guys. Thanks.

[@cindysmith7600]

Both hikes look good, but glad it was you guys! Can you even imagine me out there 😂😂😂. I crack myself up just thinking about it! But I did survive a Todd walk so you never know 👍👍

[@barbaraspiecher4084]

Beautiful hikes. Us yes for first one, no for second

[@VisageR5]

It looks really good, either one!!

[@stephanieharrington5012]

I did both hikes recently and I was glad to see a video comparing the two! I preferred Kanarra for all the reasons you gave, plus it was an interesting hike in that you had to strategize in several places how to get over the rocks or cross the stream, etc. Great video!

[@michelledurand7093]

Great videos, great hikes.

[@victoriaheatherly5877]

You both are too sweet and funny. Thanks for taking me with you. My knees would never have made it…😊

[@sandyhazlett2600]

Good reminder, Shelia, to keep others informed of plans "just in case"...

[@debbieplueger6199]

We did the Kanarra Falls hike just before we met up for your Utah Huddle. We loved it as well. Although, we’ve been to Zion, we have not done the Narrows hike. It is definitely on our bucket list. Maybe next year!

[@RobWisemanDeezFit]

There is this cool thing called aleve..pop a couple before your jaunt.. no pain, life is good.

[@texasmamaw6555]

Kanarra was more appealing. Less crowded. Narrows I’d do maybe one hour hike. Beautiful hikes y’all.bike ride I loved,,,!

[@sandymajors9771]

You're right Todd you didn't complain, and I'm proud🙂 great video!

[@flythecoop_rv]

We also send the kids or someone our location. Especially before we go on longer hikes or if we think we may lose cell service. It’s a great safety tip!

[@jdnunnery1082]

Both hikes look really fun and beautiful. Great job Todd on the 3 miles in and 3 out plus 12 miles of biking. Wet feet for a 6 mile hike is the only thing that doesn't sound fun. Switch it Up!!

[@karricompton]

We hiked both a few weeks ago while on vacation in Utah. While Kanarra was pretty, we definitely preferred the Narrows. It was incredible. Neoprene socks and a hiking stick we’re definitely helpful. It’s easier going back out!

[@jeffdraughn4998]

ZION is ,my favorite so far

[@davidbranson1491]

Thanks!

[@lauridykstra8684]

Thanks for the video as always it was very entertaining!

[@carlgosman1223]

Loved this video. Gotta side with Sheila on this one. I may be carried out on a stretcher but I have to see what's around the next corner.

[@kathleenrutherford733]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! FANTASTIC MUSIC TOO, I LOVE YOU GUYS

[@teriandree]

Zion is breathtaking. Hoping to see Glacier next summer. We did a short version of the narrows. If we go back, hiking stick is a must! Thanks for sharing😊

[@windandsea12]

I’m with Sheila. Zion is my favorite National Park and Yosemite is a close second. I would Highly recommend hiking around Pinecrest Lake in California. The trail is called Pinecrest Lake Loop. It’s beautiful. You actually hike across a dam. Pinecrest Lake is about 80 from Yosemite. Loved this video. Safe travels

[@lavonwhittington4842]

We were at Zion in September but not prepared for the narrows hike. We will have to add both of these to our next trip out there.

[@katreyes6358]

I hiked the narrows and you both are correct it's beautiful the whole way and crowded. The water was deeper at the time of year I went and I was out of shape and had a bum knee. Not even a quarter mile left, I was in so much pain, ankles, knee and worst of all my hips were screaming at me. I could not walk the next day. I'm in much better shape now and would do it all over again. Thanks for this video, it was nice to reminisce.

[@lindabeaudoin8309]

We hiked the Narrows and started super early in the morning so the crowds weren’t as bad but we definitely saw way more people on the way out. I agree to definitely rent the shoes, socks and we even got the “dry” pants and I did slip and fall at least twice that I remember. So I agree that it was definitely a bucket list hike and a must do! However, when we tried to go back and see other areas of the park the next day we couldn’t due to the crazy number of people and waits for the shuttle which is why I don’t rank Zion as one of my fave NP’s - maybe we need e-bikes the next time because the lines and shuttle crowds were just too much for us. The other hike looked great too but it wasn’t on my radar at the time and we had limited time for stops on our Grand Circle trip. Great video!

[@rvcruising]

Awesome video. Well done on both of those hikes! 🙌🏻

[@xaviermartinez6642]

I really liked both hikes but I’m with Todd on Kannara falls , my favorite so far is Yosemite.

[@gymwarrior1]

For what it's worth, I was also singing "just around the river bend" during the Narrows footage.. good call Shelia! And yes the Narrows wins for me as it's just one of those epic bucket list hikes. Doing all the things!

[@garyspino4789]

Oh my God! You guys crack me up! I’ve already forwarded this to several friends who extensively hike through Utah with their husbands. I told my & showed my husband and, I’m sorry I don’t know your names, But my husband is so the male of the couple & I am so the female. From Machu Picchu to the big hour on Hawaii I have said “oh let’s go up the bend a little bit more!” my husband dismay. I’ve also may be fibbed about the length of trails or distance to places to make him be more likely to go. Other times I made actual mistakes. It’s just so funny to see this in your relationship/experience hiking! ❤😂

[@garyspino4789]

Big hour = big island. And SHEILA! I am so you! You both had my family laughing out loud. We’ve watched this several times now. You gave us great ideas! I can’t remember where we were hiking but my husband thought I lied to him about the distance. But I got confused with miles & hours! Kinda like you were at the beginning of this video! “Did I say hours?” We both saw ourselves in you and our son agrees. Thank you!From watching it we ordered neoprene socks and trekking poles!!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Welcome to our channel! We are so glad you are here!! Next weeks video you have to watch a hike in WV ….. oh Todd had a moment lol 😂 Talk to you then! Thanks for watching

[@lnkmk8]

Have to agree about the crowds in the Narrows... that was a little disappointing, but it was a neat experience. We didn't make it to the end either.

[@ceritapenman6112]

I really liked zion but had a migraine when we went. I was getting out, throwing up and then go on a short hike. I was able to make the one mile hike to the narrows. Would have loved to do the narrows, but we went in February and it was too cold besides my migraine. Was proud of Todd for not complaining. I would be with Sheila when you came up on the snake. I hate snakes! Continue to have safe travels!🤗

[@kellidenney4022]

Both were beautiful hikes. Thank you for the "Sheila tips". We hope to get to the National Parks out west someday. I'm not sure if I could do the Narrows since I may need knee replacement. I love all the trips you take us on with you.

[@safepetproducts]

How do you lock your bikes?

[@philstucker1312]

Run, Todd, run. lol 😂😂😂

[@SpykersB]

Enjoyed your hike’s. 🍻

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Have you escaped??

[@TheBestofUSTheFloros]

You don't know us.. yet. However, I told Duane, he can hike with Todd and I will go on with you Sheila. It looks breath taking on video. However we know it's not like being there. We hope to meet you both at a huddle. Maybe MI. TN may be too soon for us to go. We are glad we found your channel.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Welcome to the Switch Crew and following our journey! Thanks for being a doing of all things. We hope we do get to meet you one day!

[@discgolftrainnut]

I had a pet African bird-eating tarantula (Theraphosa Blondi)). Yes, some spiders are trainable.

[@patertl7345]

thanks

[@JodysJourney]

I’m with Todd on this (just based on your video since I haven’t been there). I liked Kanarra Falls better.

[@anthonymarkley2921]

I'm not a snake person, but for that snake, here's what I recall to know if it's poisonous or not. If red touches yellow, your a dead fellow, if red touches black, your okay jack!

[@donaldfox2171]

Great video

[@kumdo1011]

We have hiked the Narrows and i was amazing. Would love to hike Kanarra fall. Looks beautiful. I would have to agree with Sheila though. The Narrows is beautiful from the start. But Todd is correct about the people. I feel the same way. It’s a love/ hate thing. Lol.

[@debreinke5532]

Beautiful. Some parts seem a bit risky to me since I have a fear of heights. If I could get past that it would be great.😊

[@dangerdave6275]

I am with you Todd Glacier Rocks 😁

[@amariejackson08]

awesome

[@danawerner2119]

Great video😀

[@stephaniefitch4713]

Todd for year FYI… The saying for that type of striped snake is “red and black OK Jack, red on yellow lookout fellow.”

[@shelea13]

Red and Black friend of Jack. Red and Yellow kill a fellow.

[@Betsyb444]

LOL. ‘I didn’t complain one time!’

[@SwitchItUpLife]

LOL it's like hiking with a 10 year old 🤣🤣🤣

[@wilmabosgraaf9706]

Three hours in I would be looking for a rest room….lol….walking in water does it every time!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

There are random trees every once in awhile 😂

[@RedSpitFire.]

Thanks for the great video! Could you share where you rented the e-bikes from? Those look really sturdy compared to the ones I've looked at for rental online.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Those are our own bikes - we took them in with us. Sorry I know that’s not helpful!!

[@RedSpitFire.]

@@SwitchItUpLife Thanks for responding. They looked too good to be a rental! We are considering bringing our own e-bikes but concerned about theft.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

@@RedSpitFire. understandable- we just use heavy duty bike locks, cover them and have security cameras on the rig. But if some one really wants them they will find a way 😡

[@pkelly411]

What's another two hours being wet, tired, and sore? Come on Todd, I really wanted to see that waterfall while I relaxed with my morning coffee.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

😂😂

[@wellsonwheels457]

My son used to own a King. I used to be afraid. Just watch my step now! What time of year did you do this?

[@SwitchItUpLife]

We were there the first week of October/last weekend of September - - I think the week prior to the upload

[@patmcdaniel9612]

With both being beautiful hikes, I'm on team Todd. Shorter is always better......lol

[@Alamotigergrad]

Awesome video. Where did you guys camp when visiting Zion?

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Zion River RV Resort - great little park!

[@Alamotigergrad]

Yes we stayed there two years ago. Fantastic park.

[@leehensley7711]

The narrows sounds like fly fishing without the fishing part. Would prefer easier if I am not wading for fishing.

[@emilythiele2146]

Question- how did you get the walking sticks back with you on the bike? Are they collapsable? We are hoping to rent walking sticks and take ebikes to the narrows!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

We strapped them to the back of bikes. It was awkward but it all worked out. Kanarra Falls is great also with less people.

[@emilythiele2146]

Thank you!

[@markhudson109]

You guys are great even when you disagree....

[@tinabergeron]

Ok so silly question we traveles through Zion and omg the drive is terrifying lol south Louisiana here. Is the drive to kanarrah the same?!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

It’s the same terrain but not as long -so worth it

[@tinabergeron]

@@SwitchItUpLife from your lips to God's ears lol I was so scared driving around all those mountains lol

[@karenstory4120]

What time of year was this Kanara vs Narrows hike?

[@ronvandermolen8676]

I vote for Todd walks

[@garytrippel7104]

So how do you know I’d there has not been a big rain fall upstream and you will not be caught in it?

[@Stacy_71]

What kinda boots do you have Sheila?

[@diannemcneal6104]

What kind of shoes did you use?

[@SwitchItUpLife]

We rented them from Zion Outfitters they were very supportive and yet allowed all the water to drain

[@scottsmith5899]

They both look like great hikes ! Probably a little to much for Todd though. 🙂

[@chipangelicamartelle802]

Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

As always thank you for watching!

[@rvgoingnow]

For the King/Coral Snake identification, remember “Red on black, friend of Jack (King); red on yellow, kill a fellow (Coral).”

[@paulpennell849]

C4YT and all the things!

[@TheRealBiggerAl]

What did you do with Todd, cause the new guy looks like he enjoyed that hike and did I see him eating healthy snacks?

[@TheRealBiggerAl]

Oh, I see he’s back in the Narrows hike.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

😂😂😂 too soon you spoke too soon 😂😂😂

[@ricklane9081]

Todd I can’t believe you didn’t take Sheila to the water falls😢

[@thekidkayo]

Let’s not talk about you!! lol great video

[@glennc8761]

LMAO with y’all’s comments . Thanks for the laughs 👍🏻👍🏻

[@garytrippel7104]

I love you guy.

[@elenasmith5947]

Sorry Todd the only pretty snake is a dead snake! Beautiful hike - minus the snake. Scott says The Narrow looks so fun - it sure is pretty but Ugh! That’s a lot of effort.
