Thanks for watching! Here's my Arches National Park book if you haven't seen it before: amzn.to/3vbmTVQ. And if you want another off-the-beaten-path Arches NP video, here's a video from last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kImwd2yon8yhea8 -Tristan

[@Justal01]

Great stuff! I didn’t know you were so intimate with Arches and knew some of these back corners and untraveled trails. Have you hiked the Wave way down off 89 at So border w/Arizona. Difficult permitting

[@bikingal4283]

tristan I've been watching your vids for years, have your book and you are the main reason I now know how to car camp... all this being said I hope that you know how much we realize the hard work you put into every video... this one was exemplary.. you do double the hikes just going back and forth to set and pick up your camera... you go above and beyond with your work and we do appreciate it, we would never get those great shots otherwise... so what I'm trying to say is a great big ty from all of us viewers....

[@loribrasseur4562]

^^^What she said!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@madelinewilson6473]

As a slightly anxious woman traveling and hiking alone I kinda like the crowds. I look at it as something different than a wilderness experience, and when I do need that solitude I go elsewhere. Thanks for your beautiful videos - they have helped me build a number of trips :)

[@davkatjenn]

I went to Delicate Arch one year with my wife and young daughter. They did not want to go to the Arch but said that they were going to go to the viewpoint to the south and I went out alone to the Arch. They were going to come back and pick me up about two hours after dropping me off at the trail head. I made it up to the Arch and when I got up there I was standing under it with three young hikers and I looked for my wife and daughter and sure enough I could see them and we both started waiving to one another. The three other hikers knew my wife and daughter were over there and all four of us stood there and waved to them. It was a fun memory I will never forget. I would imagine that there aren't that many people who have that experience at Delicate Arch and I feel really fortunate to have experienced it.

[@asadventures_moriicoddiwomple]

This is definitely why you are our favorite KZbin channel! There is so much to love about our National Parks, it makes it easy for us to ignore any crowd of people. Additionally, we agree that so much of the less popular areas around our National Parks are just as amazing! We just have to open our eyes and enjoy what we see! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!

[@never2yield20]

There is a road out of Blanding that crosses the West Mountains back into Canyonlands Needles District. I drove it decades ago. Just in case you need another adventure area idea. That overlook of the Colorado river and the surrounding area was awesome. I have been in the Moab area a couple of times, and you captured the beauty of that whole area with that view. The other interesting sight I went hunting for in that area, were the dinosaur tracks. They can be found in many places there. Great Video all round.

[@davidkuhns8389]

You're absolutely right about finding solitude in our national parks. It's there if you look for it. And I'm one of the old gaffers who remembers a less crowded time.

[@robertross2596]

Right on David! My sentiments exactly!

[@janicewhite2300]

I’ve traveled to the Moab area almost every year since 1973- The increase in visitation is overwhelming- I’m glad that people like the National Parks but social media has caused some to come only for that perfect photo ! When you show the less visited areas of the parks they soon can become more crowded- thankfully most people can’t managed the dirt roads and long hiking trails in the back country .

[@elizabethpreviti598]

Hi Triston If you like holes in rock, if you haven’t been…check out the vortex near Dammeron Valley Utah. Wild rock formations and crazy swirling vortex holes

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

I second this! It's a fun little hike, and you can find names carved into the sides from some of the earlier settlers.

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch, thanks to your calm genuine enthusiasm! I have watched all of your episodes on your traveling Playlist and plan to check out your fishing channel soon! Just wanted to let you know we appreciate your hard work and I personally look forward to your next videos!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks, I appreciate that! 😁

[@ChrisRamias]

If the complaints about the crowds are coming from a place of "I want the park to myself" then I totally agree with your take. However sometimes those comments come from a more general concern about parks being loved to death. I'm perfectly capable of finding solitude in the parks but I still get a little queasy seeing how hard some places are getting worked over by tourists.

[@protectedlands2869]

Agreed. Most of the parks aren’t even that bad but I recently visited Yosemite and I was horrified by what Yosemite Valley was like. Not just the crowds but the general disrespect of the crowds. People parked in non-designated areas, littering, screaming and running around in the road. For the most part I agree with Tristan but when one of the most beautiful places on earth is being treated that way clearly we have lost the plot. It was like Disney, it didn’t even feel like a wild place and that’s the whole point. They definitely need a reservation system to moderate the crowds.

[@i-feeluniveristyifeelu5562]

Thanks for the brilliant observation that we are responsibility if we do not experience solitude (peace, contentment) when we are in national parks. Right on!

[@dvdschaub]

I like your channel because you find such uncrowded, unspoiled areas. My trip on the Going-to-the-Sun road last fall, made me convert to off the beaten path areas.

[@ritzbitz1905]

Loved this approach to the park. Genius!

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

You might check out the arches in north western New Mexico. There are over 200 named arches, and some of them are quite impressive. I spent a week with my wife exploring the area, and besides the occasional oil field worker, we only ever saw one other couple hiking like we were. The funniest part of seeing the other couple is the fact that my wife knew them, what are the odds 😂 Definitely check out Cox Arch, and Octopus Arch.

[@sonny1597]

Wow! Your on the Dome almost exactly a year from my visit! I was breaking in my Crosstrek to see how it did off road .. it did well! Thanks for that refresh .. love to watch your hikes as that's one thing I am limited too nowdays. My son and daughter in law were on this trip with me .. we met up in Moab .. they went out and bought a new Outback Wilderness when they got back. I live out of my little rig but my trips are usually a week or so .. so I follow alot of the same routines as you .. and of course, I get ideas from what you do. I did get a drone and am learning to fly. LOL 🤠

[@owenrae]

I was kind of wondering if my Outback Onyx would be fine on the road Tristen was talking about. I have a 2" lift and some Falken Wildpeak trail tires on it so pretty much like the Wilderness.

[@sonny1597]

@@owenrae Should be fine .. My Trek has a 2" lift and Toyo All Terrains III's along with an Aluminum skidplate. On KZbin just type in 'Al Maurine' I have a video on my Trek blasting up the Schaffer Trail .. never had a problem.

Sounds like you've got a great setup! Thanks for watching, Al 👍

[@markgibsons_SWpottery]

Genuine, my brother! I really appreciate the grace you carry into every situation. Great places! Great tours, Man! I love finding places off the main trail to alter myself! I think you used those words! I'm going to go alter myself right now! Hope it means what I think it means!

[@petertellone7665]

Tristen, I could not agree with you more about the National Parks Re: Crowds and what people say. It drives me nuts and I appreciate you saying this. I have a friend who won't go to Yosemite because of 'The Crowds" and he just doesn't get it. I was to Yosemite on the exact 100th anniversary of the National Parks and also it was Labor Day weekend...and I found myself alone many times if you just try. I also agree though of seeking out the smaller things that are still great but you can experience them in solitude. So great. Thank you my friend, great episode and more great ideas. I've used a few already including San Rafael Swell last fall. Can't thank you enough. Cheers, Pater

[@loricollins3163]

Fantastic video! After watching the sunrise at Mather Point in the Grand Canyon I jumped on the shuttle bus and exited at either Kaibab or Yaki…I did a rim hike (mule trail?) all by myself for an hour or so before I saw another soul! I will forever remember this moment. Be safe and stay well.

[@ChrisBrown-gw5tg]

During your spill about the "math" behind how good or great something is as compared to more popular things, I realized that we think exactly the same on things like this. I have a feeling most people do not break things down like this. I went to Arches NP last year and did the hike to delicate arch and took the pictures.. etc.. but I wish I knew about the things that you saw and did before I went. Great video Tristan. I really enjoy the sights you see, the way you go about seeing them and how you break it all down. You are my spirit animal!! Lol.

[@garypalmer2066]

I visit the parks in the off season when solitude is possible. I've been backpacking the parks since 1977 in the months of Dec/Jan and can see the popular sites with no one else around. So solitude is possible if one is willing to go when everyone else is back at work!

[@glennk.7348]

For a less traveled arch outside the park, try Corona Arch. Really fantastic and not too hard of a hike. 😊

[@jimchristensen965]

Holy cow Tristan you sure packed a lot into one day. A day like this really makes for a great nights sleep.Your passion, experience, familiarity and organization shined brightly today. Good job! Thanks.

[@blackpearlvoyager4174]

Tristan, I can't thank you enough for this hike suggestion to delicate arch. I attempted the hike once before from the parking lot and due to some physical limitations with my feet and not the greatest fitness I was unable to make it up there. Your route is the same distance but looks to be much easier and will likely be my choice for actually getting to delicate Arch as an item on my bucket list. Thanks again and keep cranking out excellent videos. 🤙🏻

[@ropersix]

Totally agree about the crowd issue. And sometimes I even think, if a park like Arches is going to reach visitor capacity, I'd rather most people go to a few popular places, than spread out all over the park. I was there last summer, on a full capacity day, and only encountered two other people on the hike to Tower Arch. It was really nice. Although really hot, too, so maybe that was a factor.

[@FreedomToRoam86]

Your vids of stuff away from the noisy masses are awesome. I’d never even heard of these potholes before!

[@ronb.9946]

Hey Tristan, you could not be more right about seeking solitude. I went to Yosemite and visited Tuolumne Meadows and was by myself in the meadow while others just drove by. I was also atop Pothole Dome by myself. I am sure it has probably changed since I was there, but one thing that is still probably true is if you go up and out, the fewer people there are. It takes a little more work, but many people either are lazy or do not have the time to do this. Thanks for all you do!

[@DoggyU]

Another great video. Thank you!

[@oldboater]

Once. Again you’ve shown me some very cool places. Keep up the good travels.

[@kcreeves199]

Tristan, I really enjoy your videos, with just enough information to find some remote areas with a little bit of investigation. One important item you didn't mention on hiking near Moab, and pretty much any desert area, it to avoid walking on cryptobiotic soil. I've been into some less traveled areas and still seen footprints going across large areas of the soil.

[@Justal01]

Tristan has addressed this issue in previous videos. He’s a good steward in several ways about sticking to trail and roads etc.

[@kcreeves199]

Al, I fully agree with you that Tristan is a good steward, and I'm also aware about addressing the cryptobiotic soil in previous videos. My reason for mentioning it here is that this may be the 1st video of Tristan's that folks see, especially since it is a "back way" into Arches. As such, they may not know of the issues of walking on cryptobiotic soil. By the way, I live in Arizona, and did not know about it till trips to the Moab area, so I undoubtedly walked on it, not knowing what it was.

[@Justal01]

@@kcreeves199 100% agree. Thanks for spreading the good word. I wonder if we shouldn’t be treading lightly on more soils, not only cryptobiotic soils, but in most “off-trail” fragile environments like tundra or woodland riparian areas. Happy hiking!

[@kimprocarione5473]

I find fun facts thoroughly fun 😊 I had no idea about the origin of tumbleweeds! What a great story! I've seen tumbleweeds in old westerns my entire life, to the point that I thought of them as iconic symbols of the west. For me, the lack of people increases the cool factor immeasurably! 😂 Another wonderful adventure made very tempting for me to do myself thanks to your backdoor tip! Although, by now, there are many people who have been inspired in the same way as I! 😅❤ Oh! By the way, I always thought Lanscape Arch was Delcate Arch! Well, for years, at least. It just looks so much more delicate to me. 😊

[@markg3025]

I did the view point the first time I went to Arches. You need a camera with big time zoom to find the delicate arch from the view point. The hike up to the delicate Arch is worth the work.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Epic Family Road Trip uses an awesome siphon hose! To get it started, you just slide the end that's in the gas container up and down, and it somehow starts flowing! It would be perfect in your situation! They are a KZbin family. They travel long distances in the backcountry. You can get one for as cheap as $8 at Harbor Freight. They're called jiggler pumps. I googled it real quick. 😊

Wow, the videos from this trip are your best ever; certainly among them. Your content, location, and originality are excellent as usual, but your cinematography is really next level. Thank you for all the extra "third person" tripod work and the extra hiking and climbing it takes to make that happen. It REALLY adds to the magic and impact of the video. Color saturation, vibrancy, and all that are top notch too. Great stuff. I've been to Arches a half dozen times and out to Delicate Arch twice including a return by headlight. Amazing place, but now I need to spend time in the nearby back country. Thank you.

[@jmfoty4280]

I love Arches. I've been there half a dozen times. I found a way to hike into the bowl below Delicate Arch....it is quiet down there and an interesting point of view for photographing the arch.

[@grantgrow]

Yes, Tristan, I had to attach a tube to my 5 gallon tank. Used a hose clamp, rubber hose, then a short section of metal pipe the same size as the flap. Found out just like you did, it was to short. Greetings from the Redwoods

[@llorylloyd]

People standing on the arches. Look who is that crazy man coming from the desert. It's just Tristan doing his own thing. 😁 Just because it's not popular or a "wonder" of the world isn't important to me. If it's "wonder"ful to me that's all that matters. Thank you for taking us on the unbeatened path. Two Roads by Robert Frost impacted me when I was very young and have always done my own thing. For I, I chose the road less traveled - what a very young Tristan how wonderful and thank you for the unspoken support of Ukraine 🇺🇦 if that's what that sticker is

Interesting that they provide a ladder for crossing over the wire fence.

We lived during the days when no fee was charged in the winter. I am just grateful I could hike Arches and I am glad people can see the sites I can no longer hike to. It belongs to all people. We hiked from that direction once. We also went up the wash from the old viewpoint. There is a way down. You can get below the arch. I have also been to Winter Camp on a really sketchy road. Also loved the La Boca and Covert area. Have you been to Inside Out Arch?

[@dennisscammell8152]

Several others have mentioned using a shaker syphon to transfer gas from the can on the roof rack. I have been using one to transfer water into my RV and can strongly recommend it. No need to remove the can from the roof and hold the heavy can while it slowly empties, and no contact with the fluid. One caveat, do not buy a Chinese copy, buy the original 'Safety Syphon' made in USA. I have a 1/2" ID 10 ft syphon and it empties a 5 gallon can in about 3 minutes.

[@skletke7543]

Looks like the teeth from a small wild cat. The arches are as colorful and beautiful as the rocks in Sedona Az. Always enjoy your videos.

[@kevinholland4156]

For the gas jug; I use a transmission funnel. It has a long snout and is maybe a little slow but doable. Also, instead of cycling your gas; just buy non-alcohol gas at Maverik and it will stay good for a year.

[@michaelmcshane6280]

I like the big sink hole even better than the arch. I like the solitude more than the crowds. I am sure that I would enjoy a delicate arch as well, but I would want to spend more time at the sinkhole.

[@davkatjenn]

I totally understand where Tristan is coming from when he was talking about crowds in the National Parks and the people who complain about the crowds. He said, "it is on you", and I totally agree. There are twelve months in a year and the parks are crowded for 4-5, maybe even 6 months. Why not go at a different time of the year. My wife and I do that when we go to Europe. We skip the summer months because the people of Europe are overrun with Americans during the summer months. We give them a break and go off season. One thing though about people in the parks and this goes for everybody, all year long, every day; when you go to the parks, leave them cleaner than when you arrived. Make it a point to pick up that stray piece of garbage when you see it and deposit it in a waste container or a recycling container. Leave the bathrooms spotless. And enjoy the animals from a safe distance. If you see a natural area that has been marred, inform a park ranger immediately. The parks should stay pristine whether the park has one visitor a year or ten million. By the way, this goes for the parks as well as anywhere else you go. Keep them spotless and don't walk where you are not suppose to walk (cryptobiotic soil takes over a century to recover from a footstep).

[@jedsudweeks6676]

The cheapest "hack" to get the gas can to work is to buy a little bottle of HEET (fuel additive) or Injector cleaner (same size plastic bottle. It's often available at Dollar stores and most gas stations. Add the Injector cleaner to your tank (it won't hurt a thing) then use a knife and cut the bottom off of the bottle to make a perfect sized funnel.

[@jimmym3352]

definitely worth visiting. I recommend starting at sunrise (on a weekday) and you'll get not too big of crowds. I could lay down on the sandstone and just enjoy the cold morning air (though the sandstone can be quite cold). While there were other people around, I still felt like I could enjoy the peacefulness of the area while laying down on the sandstone.

[@augustharter981]

I have just been following you since the first of the year. However, this is first time I am making a comment. Tumbleweeds is always interesting ! Thanks for sharing the origins! Boy, that is a lot of people there. Glad you are showing a different direction to get there. Donut arch is pretty Cool! Love the view through it. Delta Arch is definitely worth seeing! Love arches! I do appreciate you always sharing the miles on the trails and sharing highlights of things to see along the way! Those sand pits or potholes in the rock you were on is very unusual. Never seen those before! Wow, that is a big pothole in the 2nd rock! I see what you mean about seeing something on a one to one experience. It is meaniful!! Love that you always show us the views of the areas you are visiting! I appreciate how you are able to climb that 3rd arch! Nice! Wow, the view from Dome Plateau overlook is amazing 👏!

[@falconsooner]

My daughter and I went to Yellowstone in July 2017 and there were plenty of things we had to ourselves. We had spectacular Osprey Falls to ourselves. Same with backcountry thermal areas around Sentinel Meadows. We also had Norris Geyser Basin to ourselves for awhile (got there at 6a). Definitely a lot of strategies can use to avoid crowds. But complaining about NP crowds is a pet peeve of mine...these are incredible places that folks naturally want to see. Plus if you are complaining about other ppl there...some of those same ppl are likely complaining about you being there.

[@SUVRVing]

Exactly! Well said 👏

[@kcreeves199]

I much agree. We likewise have been to Yellowstone and had a similar experience at Osprey Falls. On the 4th of July, we did the hike there, didn't see any one until hiking out. One thing I do like about crowds is to take in the excitement of people seeing these things the 1st time. Grand Geyser in Yellowstone is a great place to experience this.

[@1958zed]

I volunteered at a small, urban national park unit for nearly five years, and national parks were created to be visited. We had an average of one million visitors annually in our 160-acre park. But national parks were also primarily created to protect our natural and historical resources for future generations. My chief issue with crowds today is that too many people-certainly NOT the vast majority-disrespect the park's resources and the experiences of other park visitors. When people are a whoopin'-and-a-hollerin' in a meadow, scaring off wildlife that someone drove a thousand miles for the chance to see, that detracts from the experience. When people wander off-trail in defiance of posted signs, that disrespects our resources and can cause damage that can take decades to recover from. When people can't be bothered to put that empty granola bar wrapper or empty plastic water bottle in their pocket and packet it out but instead just drop it on a trail, that detracts from the experience. I'm all for people visiting and enjoying our national parks. We just need to be good stewards of our resources, respect other visitors, and protect our parks for generations to come.

[@falconsooner]

@@1958zed Agree!!

Your gas can dilemma, At the end of the season I move gas for mowers and snow blower to my car. I have the same problem. My work around is to place a small diameter wire into the neck of the gas tank down enough to push the flap out of the way. This leaves plenty of room for the nozzle on the gas can.

Thanks as always. Just wanted to mention an option for transferring fuel, the self priming siphon hose. Makes fuel transfers very easy. Get one with a 6' or 10' hose and the extra tank does not even have to be moved off roof. I just air it out when done and tuck it in a ziplock bag.

6:10 to your point, Tristan, the more people that visit and learn to appreciate the gift that is the US National Parks, the less likely loggers, oil rigs and dams will find there way into those areas (as they have occasionally, and continue to try since the National Park concept's beginning).

Great point!

I love Delicate Arch. I plan doing the hike for a 3rd time in July. But it'll be the first time since losing 50 pounds.

[@SUVRVing]

It's a beautiful spot for sure. And congrats on the weight loss!

I'm sold...Going down there next week.

A funnel is usually included in vehicle. Look where spare tire tools are stored.

You forgot to fly the drone! Would have been great anywhere, but especially that vista over the valley of the Colorado!!! Good video, great views Tristan, thanks for sharing...

[@juanitagreenspan5412]

Very good video. Thanks.

[@robertphillips3893]

Yet another amazing video. I like the places you went to because I just can't.

[@almamdani6564]

Loved the part where you said I cant see the arch but can see the throngs looking at it😂

[@RangerMcFriendly]

Was a Ranger at Arches NP and didn’t even know about the primitive trail to Delicate Arch. So cool!

[@Deanna52ish]

To have something spectacular to yourself, even for a few minutes is overwhelming sometimes. That happened to me at Canyon De Chelly last month and I savored it. This is a must see on my trip to Arches next year. Thank you Tristan.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Deanna!

[@thockdorji9766]

Amazing

[@jorgiesjog9904]

I love seeing that there are different routes. I am always taking the trail less traveled in National Parks. Thanks for sharing.

Did arches in 2011, not to crowded, remember a lady getting injured on the landscape arch trail and she had to be carried out by a bunch of guys, good thing she wasn't there by herself. Also did the easy viewpoint trail across from delicate arch. That view of castle valley and fisher tower was awesome .😃

[@caroleelagrone9729]

Always enjoy your video's Tristan! Thank you for taking me along! 🤗🤗🤗

[@John-ve3gg]
