Thanks for watching! In the next video in the series, Cassie and I spend half of a day wandering around the Las Vegas strip. Definitely not my usual kind of hangout but still fun! We then find an amazing campsite out in the Mojave Desert. Side note: I'm going on a weeklong trip to southern Utah (again) next week, and I'm going to be making a handful of tips/tricks-type videos. What topics would you like me to make a video about? I already plan on doing videos about my camera gear, my drone gear, and how I find campsites. Finally, have you checked out my latest fishing video yet over on my second channel? It's my favorite one yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2a5eYB_jbaGZ6M Thanks again, Tristan

[@freedomdove]

@@cramias1 I agree.

[@janetallison363]

I really enjoy all of your videos Tristan. I'm always amazes at the beauty you find. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Janet! 😁

[@gregkendall3559]

We love your videos... What was the GPS for the first campsite? I want to go there!!!

[@karleyludwig7489]

The picture you used for your hangnail is almost identical to one I have. We go to that trail a lot when we are by cedar City or at. George it is beautiful.

[@teslah2997]

that old tree was AWESOME...so beautiful.....first place y’all were at with red rocks was so pretty....would like to go there

[@perfectlylonely]

That gnarly old stump, is referred to by the locals as the elephant. The footholds are called Moki steps and are considered to have been created by early Native Americans. The video sign is there to deter vandals from spray painting and etching over the petroglyphs in that arch behind the camera, across the creek. Each year a group of locals gathers to clean up the mess, in that "cave", from the previous seasons "artists" ☹️.

[@SUVRVing]

Hi Scott. The Elephant is a great name for it! I've come across lots of Moki steps in my travels, and I don't think those are authentic Moki steps. I think those are just modern steps carved in the rock. They are much larger and deeper than any Moki steps I've seen.

[@perfectlylonely]

@@SUVRVing You're probably right about the steps. They are pretty deep.

[@perfectlylonely]

@@SUVRVing Moki Steps Addendum: Probably another local rumor 😀

[@frankkawasaki3082]

Tristan: Cassie is definitely "A KEEPER" if she is more than willing to climb without assistance whenever possible. I love the places you travel to in your explorations. I've also patronized the pie shop if it on the hillside in St George.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Great to see Cassie! That wavy canyon was beautiful! Glad you didn’t get your feet wet! Hope you enjoyed the visit with your aunt! Enjoy being with Cassie! Missed seeing your dog! I don’t know if I’ve been spelling his name right!😉❤️🇺🇸🌏🚙

[@arnoldsmith1165]

Wonderful destination choices and videography. You never fail to create inspiration. Thanks for taking us along. I hope to explore the St George area soon. Cheers.

[@hikingloveofficial6214]

BTW, that first trail in the video is one of my faves. I've done it many times. It's called Red Reef Trail, Cottonwood Canyon at Red Cliffs National Recreation Area. It gets a ton of traffic in the spring and summer months! Also, you mentioned the "large cave" (St. George trails); it is definitely worth seeing! It's in Snow Canyon just before you pay the entrance fee (so it's free). It's called Scout Cave. And while you're already doing that trail, you might as well do the adjoining trail to Johnson Canyon to see the awesome arch and a very peaceful gorgeous red rock canyon where it ends. All these trails, the car direction to get there, and the trail map itself are all available for free on Alltrails.com

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Buzz420]

My girlfriend is going to st. George's next month. I've never been to Utah but told her to stop at a few places. Had to show her one of your videos so she could grasp the beauty I couldn't even explain, lol. This summer we will be there

[@SUVRVing]

It's a beautiful place, for sure. Thanks for watching, Josh.

[@peteryoungpeteryoung965]

I drove from Grand Canyon to Vegas once, stayed one night then left. Vegas is a great place to leave

[@douglasolsen1208]

Peter Young Peter Young There are some very nice parks and sights to see outside of Vegas.

[@therussmccurdy2602]

I lived there 4 years too long and one of the highlights of my life was leaving there.

[@brian1204]

Thanks for showing us some more of the beauty of the Southwestern US!

[@spencerftn1]

You missed some dinosaur tracks at the red rock reserve. Up above that is Yant Flat. That's worth a trip too.

[@johnmcdonald1306]

The sites above the foot steps is exactly what you described as incredible, thanks for taking me there.

[@Righteous1ist]

FUN hiking adventure that ends with good food. Great day.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Righteous1!

[@JayWandersOut]

You two are awesome! Love watching your adventures as I start up my own.

[@RandisAdventures]

Incredible is an UNDERSTATEMENT! 💜 Those craved in rock steps were cool. Such an amazingly breathtaking canyon!

[@SUVRVing]

It really was a pretty place. Thanks for watching!

[@christinecurley1399]

Great to see you both hiking & travelling together. Awesome place there in the canyon.

[@carmenwheatley7316]

Loved the canyon hike. Cassie did a great job navigating around the rock. I would have slid into the water.

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, she did well. Thanks!

[@elementgypsy]

What a great video. Great description and information. Love your stuff!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@vivianfirlein5219]

I’ve been one the lower part of Water Canyon. Beautiful! Thanks for taking me up up up!

[@krystalhatch4951]

Great video. I didn't know about the concrete arrows or the hike that took you there, ill have to check it out. Very pies 🥧 👌 so yummy. BTW about halfway to veyo pies from your last little hike there are ponds called sandcove. Check out the vortex trail. Such a beautiful hike and if you catch it right there is a waterfall at the beginning. And chuckwalla trail right as your leaving st. George on your way to up to veyo is worth going to as well.

[@MrfiX725]

Oooo, pie... THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!! I dig St. George. (FYI, Cassie reminds me of my neice. Won't talk to the camera but will mug for it.)

[@helensimmons1815]

Just love all your videos and adventures. I would thoroughly enjoy doing a road trip

[@Surfishy888]

Beautiful rock formations and water flow.

[@freedomdove]

I liked the canyons this time. Very pretty colors. Those concrete arrows were neat. Too bad the drone still isn't working. I miss that kind of footage.

[@SUVRVing]

I miss the drone footage too. But it's fixed now and I'll be able to use it on my next trip.

[@SupremeCavalry]

The trail next door; Squirrel Canyon is equally beautiful and they hook together as a loop.

[@travelingwithrick]

Those pink rocks and waterfall is called water canyon? That's on the bucket list!

[@reggiebald2830]

Water Canyon? I believe you called it correctly, "Little private Edan"; gorgeous! Thank you!

[@WilliamMalo]

Would it be bad style to ask if you'd share the coordinates for the beautiful campsite 15 minutes away from the first (Red Cliffs "Water Canyon") hike in this vid? I'm guessing it might be somewhere in the silver reef silver mine area? I realize it's many many campsites ago... AND.. a long overdue HUGE THANK YOU for all your vids. My Google Map of UT is now a mess of saved places with notes saying "From Tristan! Gotta DO This!"

[@AnMarie711]

Love this video thank you, especially the first hike.

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

My wife would definitely panic at the sight of those cut on steps.

[@selwynlayton6214]

Ok, so you missed so much at red cliffs. Hit me up the next time you’re in the Cedar City/St. George area. I have so many different hikes and spots to tell you about. Also, I’d love to show you around the area.

[@joyouslily2982]

Beautiful hidden place ❤

[@drphibesrises]

Nice views and scenery. Thanks.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks!

[@christinerolle3876]

Awesome place.thanks for sharing.

[@caryanderson7212]

St George has been polluted with radiation from the nuclear bombs that were detonated by the government near Las Vegas and unfortunately for the citizens (down winders) who live there have suffered extensively from the radiation, many losing their lives because of it. I don’t know if that radiation is able to interfere with a drone’s ability to perform or not. I found it interesting that your drone wouldn’t perform which reminded me of the radiation that still exists there today. An interesting detail about the effects of the radiation on many people who were in the vicinity of the testing facility making a movie (genghis khan) with John Wayne and over 200 extras in the movie. After the filming was finished and a few years passed…it was discovered that of the 200 people who were extras in the movie that over 100 of them died of cancer which was linked to the nuclear radiation fallout…which is the same radiation that killed John Wayne…and no doubt including the heavy amount of smoking cigarettes that he smoked…according to his son Patrick Wayne who shared the details that I’ve mentioned here. Beautiful video and thanks for sharing it with us! ❤

[@glennrubel4326]

Good hikes, St. George looks like a fun town.

[@SUVRVing]

It's a great place. I really like it there. Thanks for watching.

[@AmyRoutt]

I've been wanting to visit here for a while, but...just haven't done it. Looks beautiful!

[@AmyRoutt]

Also, I am SO excited to know about these concrete arrows. So cool (sorry, I tend to comment before I finish the video, and then have something else to say hahaha)

[@SUVRVing]

The arrows are super cool. There's one on the north side of Great Salt Lake at Locomotive Springs that I've been wanting to see for a while now too.

[@haydeepearce1996]

Cool canyon. I’m heading through St George in April. We may have to make a stop and explore this canyon. How far into the canyon did you go? Thanks! Loving your adventures!

[@SUVRVing]

Not super far. I don't think more than a couple of miles.

[@christianburrell5564]

Cool little adventure as always. I don’t think I’ve seen any which could e described as a “waste of time”. The arrow was weird until I realized that the 15 likely had not been built yet. Does Cassy pick any of the hikes? Or does she just come along when she is interested?

[@SUVRVing]

Nope, she doesn't do any of the planning or anything. She's happy doing whatever I want to do.

[@jeffreyvasquez3911]

Do you Catch and release when you only see a few fish.. ? Just wondering. And it’s was a beautiful place to find.

[@garlandstyle5797]

Loved the canyon best! :) Have fun! Michael

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Michael!

[@Fabgonecarcamping]

It's awesome beautiful playground. I wish i can be there.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Fauzia!

[@hikerlarrypackgoaterrobins8575]

Those little 'foot holes' are called moqui steps

[@nanchesca3950]

Such a cool place!

[@SUVRVing]

I agree! Thanks Nancy.

[@gaypreator8547]

Best part, knowing you are a prisoner of civilization.😂😂. Still must have felt nice to sit up at a table and eat.

[@garymoore3446]

Beautiful place...

[@bryanseverino3674]

Learning about the concrete arrows on the butte.

[@SUVRVing]

Pretty neat, huh?

[@virginiaallen4723]

Love that place.

[@nkbbrigger3359]

I liked the whole video

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks!

[@robertallen6710]

That water feature @3:45 was really great..

[@SUVRVing]

I thought so too. Thanks Robert.

[@johnirby493]

They were blue prints of the first wagon wheels they had ever seen.

[@coryshook7648]

Favorite part; Cassy the wood elf. In the tree.

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

I live near central Utah, I would love to collaborate with you and go to Escalante Utah or something! Great videos! Thanks!

[@kirjorg]

4:50 That's her changing her mind! lol

[@Gusinabus]

when i was a kid i broke a twig, tied line to it and created my fishing rod. Enjoyed the video , great views

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Gus!

[@dalenewman5790]

Why are you getting red spots in your video?

[@billbaker4970]

Beautiful hike I would love to be there with my camera.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Bill

I used to fish, a Lot when in graduate school. It is incredibly cruel to do that later in life that I found. We are supposed to be the care taker of earth that we created, All creatures created whether with a "soul" or not is part of the consciousness that we are. There suffering is OURS. Unfortunately most of the people have no clue what the rule of the GAME is, manipulated by the Vlash, Maitre to lower down the vibratory rate of "our" "world'.

[@wanjuchien4208]

With that being said, it is hard to find a channel like this. Appreciate the authenticity, silence and incredible view. Also the secret that is captured (e.g. the camera monitored sign) and the dead tree "rock". Also love that you stick with the area that you prefer to explore.

[@wanjuchien4208]

The medicine wheel, if it has two crosses ( octagon ) with the circle should be the 2D representation of the shape ( one of it) of the human consciousness ( inner, the outer will be Everything in form).

[@kirjorg]

great! now I have to pee! 2:07
