Este verano iré .......😊😊

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

¿ya fuiste? ¿Qué pensaste?

[@rafaymago1]

Great video, I'm guessing it took you guys a whole day to just visit that part. Thank you for posting this.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

All together, it's about 3 hours (about an hour up, an hour-long tour, and 45 minutes down). Our ticket was for 12:45, so we were able to do other things before and after the tour.

[@greenyoyo90]

Minnetonka Cave in Idaho is a great cave to go hike as well. The drive up is long but worth it.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I'll keep that in mind next time we're out by Bear Lake. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@tammyvig8253]

Great video!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thank you!

[@tammyvig8253]

How difficult would you rate the hike?@@PerfectLittlePlanet

[@nicolerogers5859]

Thanks! Great tour. Doing this Saturday and wanted to know what to expect!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Oh good, glad it's open again. It was closed for so long because of Covid!

[@Nena25748]

I love that you guys did it with your baby. I desire to do things like this with my kids in the future ❤️

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yeah, he's a great little adventurer. I'm sure you will.

[@krissmgvlogs]

Lovely.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thank you. Yeah, we couldn't get over how beautiful that canyon is!

[@Raulacho]

I was there 😃😃😃

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

How'd you like it?

[@Raulacho]

@@PerfectLittlePlanet it was great!!! Wonderful trip ...the funny thing is that I'm from Chile, surrounded by big mountains, but I've never climb or hike, and then i was visiting a friend in Utah who took me there. I will never forget. 😃😃

[@zainab-us1ki]

That looks so fun

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Such a fun place to explore for the afternoon.

[@terrygunn6723]

I have been to the heart red by the way

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

The "heart red"?

[@terrygunn6723]

dyslexia sorry

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

@@terrygunn6723 No worries. I can usually figure out spelling errors, but I wasn't quite sure if you were talking about the Heart in Timpanogos Caves, or if you were telling me about another Heart in a different cave.

[@terrygunn6723]

@@PerfectLittlePlanet when i was little we visited the Timpanogos Cave i think they showed a red heart (lit up) in there i could be wrong

[@Allomelle]

It took me about a year to get used to the elevation here in Utah. So I feel you when you say the air is thin.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I kept making fun of Isa in this video because she's actually in WAY better shape than me, but for some reason she has a harder time hiking than I do. Put me in a cardio class though and I collapse after about 5 minutes and she can go strong for the full hour.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Me too. We moved from Florida to Provo and I would often find myself gasping for air. It took me a year to finally acclimate.

[@jules11yates]

That looks so beautiful! Trapper and I should plan that for our next little getaway.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Definitely. It's a really cool experience and your kids would love it, too.

[@becknielsen2]

Me and my husband are hiking to Timp cave this week for his birthday! He loves hiking, and I love him so I’m going 😂 Hiking is definitely not my strong suit and going uphill is my biggest enemy, so I’m a little worried about making it up to the cave entrance but your video really helped me visualize it! So thank you!! Did you bring your own flashlight or do they hand them out at the beginning or something?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Sorry I didn't see your message before you went. We brought our own flashlights. How was your experience? Did you make it up the hill ok?

[@ratna_dewi34]

Wowww 😍😍

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Right?! Such an amazing place.

[@ratna_dewi34]

@@PerfectLittlePlanet I'll visit USA soon ♥️

I'll ALWAYS remember the Mt. Timpanogos Cave Hike Trail. In the early 1970's, I was a fairly small child, excited about going on this cave tour. In fact, I was almost bouncing off the walls, running around, ecstatic, looking around and around at the amazing heights and depths, until ... I nearly ran straight off the trail, which had no barrier, fell straight off, with no rope, chain, nothing to protect hikers or silly children. There I was teetering on the edge, a breathe away from plummeting down, off a precipice that would've meant certain death for a child. Little kid, me, stood mortified in horror and hugged the mountain trail walls, the rest of the way up to the cave, to the great amusement of my parents. The Timpanogos Cave Trail certainly sobered up that silly, exuberant, kid, yet the amazing sights inside the cave, were certainly worth it.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Glad you lived to tell the tale. I certainly wouldn't forget an experience like that either. I've had my fair share of close calls while being just plain dumb on trails. I'm sure our toddler will be the same. 😂

[@Allomelle]

If you haven’t already you should check out Kartchner Caverns in Tucson Arizona. When I was young my dad was the state parks director of Arizona and helped open up the state park. We got to crawl in the cave before it was opened and it was such an amazing experience. However now there are walkways and you don’t need to go down steep shafts to get to it.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

That sounds amazing!! I had a similar experience exploring a cave in Aruba before it was really "discovered" by tourists. Such a unique experience to see a cave like that. We'll add Kartchner to our list - haven't been to Tucson yet but I'm sure we'll make it eventually. Thanks for the tip!

[@denisebrashears1552]

Hey you three! I'm not sure why I haven't seen this up until now. You guys look great! This kind of hiking and caves and things are the things I like to do. I did a lot of that in my youth. Not so easy now LOL. But I enjoy seeing it through your eyes. I hope you're having a great adventure as we speak, and have a blessed day!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Oh, hey Denise. Not sure how I didn't see this comment until now. Thanks for watching, as always. We did have a great adventure today - a little different from this hike, but still fun. We found a big playground with a rock climbing wall for Kai. So fun!

[@westasia10]

This is really cool! I live in Virginia, about 2 hours from Luray Caverns and Endless Caverns. Been to both, but itching to go again! Thanks for the hype video! ***NOTE: I really like you guys' videos. Your video about Glacier National Park was one of the main things I looked at to get excited about going there in Fall of 2019. You guys have amazing travels; thanks for sharing! :)

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Wow, thanks so much for the kind words. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Glacier as much as we did. We'll put Luray and Endless Caverns on our list. We love exploring caves!

[@Bleatmop]

Hey! I see you are still making insightful and funny videos to entertain me while I am still making almost none of my own! Looks like you have made a Perfect Little Life for yourself on this new Perfect Little Planet channel!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Haha, yes. It's been a little slow during Covid, but we're starting to make plans for new trips and videos, so things are starting to get back to a new normal for us. How've you been?

[@johnnycramer5841]

That boy needs a brother.......lets get to work! Lol. Timmy C

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Oh if only it were that easy. :)

[@krissmgvlogs]

Is it me or is that baby not growing! I feel like you've been carrying him for a couple years now! 😆 Great footage though!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Haha, yeah, he's 3 now. We filmed this in 2018 when he was still a baby. Just never got around to editing it. He'd do most of this hike on his own now, but we probably wouldn't bring him to this cave because he'd try to touch EVERYTHING.

[@jenniferkastenbaum9336]

In PA, we have some amazing Caves, if you're ever visiting! Was this trip this past August? -Jenn

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

This was August 2018, so a few years ago. I found the footage on a hard drive and figured I'd put it together because it was a fun memory. :)

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

We love visiting caves! Which ones in PA would you recommend?

[@Dr.Pepper001]

If you are claustrophobic, don't go on the tour of this cave. Not long after you enter the passage gets really narrow. I almost turned back.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yeah, there are quite a few narrow and small passageways, especially the manmade tunnels between the caves.

[@RickyWilder]

What a fun looking hike and cave! Definitely adding it to our next Utah trip :D On a guided tour like this, do people ever walk into your shot causing you to either reshoot or scrap the footage?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

All. The. Time. Usually in any tour group situation, we hang back at the end to try to get the B-roll shots without any people in them. We'll wait until everyone leaves the room, get a few quick shots, then run to catch up. You just have to be quick enough that the tour guide doesn't get upset that you're holding up the group.

[@RickyWilder]

@@PerfectLittlePlanet Oh man, I believe it! That sounds like a difficult balance. Your editing hides it well, but I was curious. Trying to film during Camas Cars and Coffee showed me how many people are completely unaware of their surroundings haha.
