Note - a viewer sent me the link about the gathering of firewood. While we were told by multiple people it was allowed and even recommended, the official site says collecting wood is not allowed;
“Fires are permitted only in the fireplaces provided or in portable fire pans. No ground fires are allowed. If portable fire pans are used, all burned charcoal must be carried out. Collection of wood is prohibited.”

Very inspiring. So looked like something that would have happen on one of our trips. You guys are great! YOU GOT A SUBSCRIBER 😁

[@ch33kz]

Great video. This is now on my bucket list. Thank you for all the great info. This was the most beautiful kayaking video I've ever seen.

[@RonAcosta]

Nice job. It was fun to watch and I like that you did this trip with your dad. Those are great memories.

[@stealthalmighty]

I did this trip because of you and your pops. good stuff

[@yurikovalev627]

Thank you for this !!!!! me and my buddies are planning our trip this September... very informative ... and we will watch out for those snakes !

[@DanIel-ep4qj]

Man that was some good advice. Me and my lady are going in a few weeks and plan on doing some kayaking ss well. I wish I could do this with my dad he's pretty sick at the moment and not able to do this. I'm happy you and your dad bond like this its awesome.

[@AZwupatki]

FYI go past the turnoff for Lee’s ferry and there are gas stations, general stores and lodging. Plus a few places to get some grub, it’s not 5 stars but your not going to go hungry. Heading up in a few months to do that run.

[@azkayakguy7180]

The last time I went the stores there were closed so we HAD to do Page. This time they were open. I don’t know their schedule obviously, lol. Would have saved some time. It in the case that they weren’t open I thought I’d tell people other options. But you are right. So far I’m 50/50 on them being open

[@stealthalmighty]

Love your video. We are headed there this weekend because of your video. Bringing the mariner 4 out with canopy and trolling motor. Hoping to catch that trout!

Awesome! Now i need to go and try that place for myself....

[@billythephoenix]

I've been to Lake Powell 7 times with jet skis and boats and we always stop and take a peek over the edge at Horseshoe Bend. I always wondered what it would be like to be on the river below. Next time we'll be taking the kayaks and do this adventure! I got a kick out of your dad, he's about my age. Great edit and full of useful info, thanks and I just subbed!

[@hendrsb33]

Excellent vid! I'm going to be doing the same trip in a couple of days. This will be my 4th trip in the canyon so far. After that, I'm going to try to do a multi-day trip on Lake Powell. Maybe I'll see ya out there some time...

[@yetiman444]

looks like a couple of smart baseball fans...go Sox!

[@outdooractivities8127]

i really enjoyed your video. i have the sea ghost 130. took it to canyon. thanks for the information.

[@azkayakguy7180]

I haven’t been there on this boat yet. Good? Take me with you!

[@jimdillard2180]

Awesome video, thanks. The best memories of trips are the ones that didn't go according to plan. Bet you and Dad will be talking about the snake for the rest of your lives..

[@azkayakguy7180]

Lol right??? If it all goes as planned...not a lot to laugh about later.

[@TimmyCramer]

Looks like a kickass trip on kayak! I've fished there many times.....use a black jig next time! Timmy C Arizona 😊

[@Brian-yx5vo]

Thanku man👍

[@adventureusa1682]

That was awesome bro! I’ve got to figure out how much it’s gonna cost me to fly out, rent a yak, and go with you!

[@azkayakguy7180]

Bring it!!! That would be a blast

[@HendersonHookin]

Im looking for info on bank fishing the horseshoe bend area. Im heading there in a couple weeks and Im starting to think my pedal kayak wont do me much good

[@epicsave635]

Going tomorrow, how much do you tip the backhaul boat crew?

[@MrRobg75]

You said you needed a permit to park at Lee's did you need any other permit for the trip?

[@prittybritty761]

Thanks for the info. Heading to AZ from CA. Do you know if we can still do this during the pandemic? And is it possible to bring fishing gear?

[@breanimal618]

we are heading there from california too, for halloweeen. if you don't know yet -ill ask once there.

[@prittybritty761]

@@breanimal618 Hi. We went end of September and had a great time. The backhaul up river was available but definitely needed to be scheduled ahead of time due to crowds that weekend. We also were able to kayak from the marina to antelope canyon, visit the dam and hang out at the chains for a day swim. Glad we went, and hope you and your family have an awesome time!!!

[@MrPaty122008]

Is horseshoe bend pretty shallow/deep?

[@R.Michelle89]

Could you tell me what you brought for food overnight? I’m going next week and trying to pack light.

[@azkayakguy7180]

We did fool bags which are made at home. But if you want to do lite packing, cold cuts are an easy one

[@brentlyfrey5707]

Are there areas of the river that would be too shallow for a Hobie kayak with peddle drive?

[@azkayakguy7180]

Yeah, but they are avoidable. You could navigate it just fine. The water is so clear you can see the bottom 20 years out so you can steer around it.

[@jonathanmartin8517]

What a GREAT video! Thanks for doing this. What music is playing?

[@azkayakguy7180]

Jonathan Martin wow thank you!!! It’s a song called “So Young At Heart” by Judson Crane.

[@jonathanmartin8517]

@@azkayakguy7180 Thank you for the reply. I had read about this area a while ago and it really seemed like a cool experience. Just yesterday a friend of a friend shared your video on FB. This has now jumped to the top of my list.

[@azkayakguy7180]

That’s awesome!!! I hope you get to go. Do you live close?

Jonathan Martin sweet!!! Well if you go please let me know how it went ok?

[@bobbyyorba2610]

Hi there, how long did it take from start to your first camp site?

[@azkayakguy7180]

About....4 hours.

[@Maryam-ue3vw]

Is a permit required to camp?

[@stealthalmighty]

' can we claim this as our homestead?

[@donnash4525]

What time of year was this? June/July?

[@azkayakguy7180]

This was literally the 3rd and 4th of July. I did the exact same dates last year too

[@Maryam-ue3vw]

How to book a campsite?

[@R.Michelle89]

It’s first come first serve. No reservations. You just need to pick one that’s not occupied.

[@JesusLopez-dm9fb]

is deep enough for a pedal kayak

[@NaturesOdyssey]

I'm wondering if you have ever heard of LEAVE NO TRACE!?!?! This video seriously makes me sad 😔. If the snake scared you so much that you fled a legal campsite to illegally camp in the tall grass where the snakes live you probably shouldn't be camping. Not to mention the destruction you caused rolling around and setting up your tents in this area. I hope you use this comment to reflect and maybe do better next time. As someone who is sharing these videos you have a responsibility to be an advocate for these wonderful places that will be destroyed if everyone does what you did.

[@bradpoole2699]

Sorry man. You lost me when I was 3 minutes in before I even got to your first real mention of the Colorado River. Way, way, way, way, way too long and self-absorbed.
