Utah's Capitol Reef; it's all about the pie

We spend this week at Capitol Reef National Park, rockhounding, hiking, biking, and eating pie! Is there any other National Park that is known for its fresh baked pies?

Dear❤Debbie, I have been so sad...Life Happened...in the last 2 days...but your New❤Video felt like a big,warm hug...Love your new pants and a quick glimpse on your mocca❤boots again. Thank you.

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. You’re too sweet.

This is our backyard. We live right here and we are very blessed to enjoy Capitol Reef in a daily basis

[@adventurelifewithbob2960]

Great adventure. I love Capital Reef. One of the overlooked National Parks in Utah.

[@djrbignell]

Capital Reef is my *FAVORITE* National Park! ❤

[@yooperdog]

We Agate hunt the shores of Lake Superior LSA. We visited Capitol Reef for the first time this past October/ November. Can't wait to return.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Great video. Thank you.

[@carolynb4727]

Great video. Tom and I really enjoyed meeting you both. We loved Capitol Reef and plan to return. Thanks for your unbiased product review. Looking forward to following along on your journey!

[@FromShetoMe]

It was a pleasure meeting you guys. This was a particularly wonderful trip.

[@lifestidepools]

So many wonderful places to put on our to go list!

[@joanmcerlean7158]

Friend just called, interrupting my viewing. This was the back and forth: She- “whatya doin?” Me-“ hiking Utah’s Capitol reef”. She- ‘whatya mean?” Me- “ It’s all about the pie and the pockets.” 😎

[@FromShetoMe]

LOL! You nailed it!

[@lorraineanderson149]

Go to Capitol Reef for the pie-Absolutely!! I am all about the pockets too, love deep pockets and lots of them. I wish these great hiking pants would come in petite lengths. It's very hard to find petite and I hate having to cut and sew by hand, I'm not a seamstress. So I keep looking. Always enjoy your hikes with John and adventures with friends. Makes me smile! ;-)

[@FromShetoMe]

I checked their website and they do have what they call “short length:” revolutionrace.com

[@edframbes5296]

Thank you! We enjoyed the trip with you guys! God Bless America and Happy Trails!

[@barbaradowney4207]

Another great video Debbie. Love your time lapse, editing, music, etc...Pants looked great on you!

[@steves524]

Capital Reef seems to have some great walks 👍

[@NelloCambelli]

Capitol Reef is the geography of the survival school (Loa, UT) my son experienced for 3 months in the Fall-Winter 1999. Smart kid who believed he could survive without rules and education. Wonderful home coming when he set up camp, built & started fire to prepare & serve his mother & me dinner. I cried for what he had become.

[@FromShetoMe]

Nature is the best teacher!

[@govango813]

Love Capitol Reef and the pie for sure! What a fun trip. Loved the video as always

[@jackies1597]

Early March we visited Utah for tour of Mighty 5 but due to cold snap, we missed Capitol Reef. We had to rewinterize the Pleasureway and since returning to Canadian cold weather we didn’t dewinterize again. It was a wonderful holiday but too bad we missed a this park.

[@timmartin4952]

Great video and we were there this past summer. A couple got married at Capital Arch while we were there. Thanks for taking us along!

[@aspenguy]

Just got home from a wonderful fall trip in our van which included South Shore, Death Valley, Zion, Bryce AND Capital Reef! Watched your video on the road so made sure to get some pies and a cinnamon roll. Yumm! Thanks for all the great tips.

[@caspergreen8931]

Hi Debbie and John! I loved the trails, pretty awesome! Thank you for sharing ! Stay safe

[@tinplater]

Beautiful video! Sound and color grading superb, and great content too. A delight to watch. Thanks!

[@kristinasupermom]

My husband has those pants. He was gifted them from a friend that lives in Norway. He thinks they are great as well.

[@panchamama]

the pies were my food magnet for a 600 mile trip. soo yummy and a dtive thru wonderland

[@markcomer1000]

Your best video yet. It made me wish that I still had my motorhome.

[@Pass2010Me]

Everyone needs a friend like Connie....so much knowledge. I can talk to you about kudzu, ragweed, poison oak and ivy but I'd be pressed to find anything nice to say lol.

[@camperab]

Great video. Thanks a lot. Yes, fall has come and gives us wonderful colors.

[@djrbignell]

I love the pant review! When it comes to women's pants - I've always been of the opinion, "No pockets, no sale!"

[@FromShetoMe]

Exactly!!

[@billorr6041]

Another informative video. One thing I love about your videos is that you are still actively traveling. We went to Capitol Reef in 2016 BRV. Want to go back to CR and Goblin Valley… when it’s not too hot or cold. You gave us some additional places to check out too. Wish you’d shown your rockhounding finds. BTW/ I’m all about the baked goods too!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

What an awesome adventure for you guys. Love those new pants! They resemble my FJALL Ravens. Side benefit for those zippers in the legs is it can, as my grandfather used to say, “keep the bugs out of your eyes”. 😂 That looked like an impressive hike too. Have pie will travel? 👍❤️

[@wornoutwrench8128]

My memories of Utah are from a holiday back in the 60's. Pretty much all my memories are of Salt Lake City, another place that I want to return too. So anything else that I have seen has all been on youtube, and 98% will be Moab. I had no idea how beautiful Utah is. Definitely on my list.

[@FromShetoMe]

If you experienced SLC in the 60's, you may be disappointed in the sprawl/congestion.

[@tomclemons344]

Looks like you guys had a great time in Capitol Reef. Cool hooking up with your friend. She looks exactly like the lady on TV commercial showing she has eye problems and she takes off 2 or 3 pair of sunglasses till she got the right one she needed. :)

[@FromShetoMe]

That’s funny. I haven’t seen that ad but will tell my friend.

[@richardross3172]

Really appreciate your honest reviews on products. ( knowing now that you guys aren’t on someone’s payroll) Thanks!

Enjoy that you review what you use, this is rugged territory and good clothes are a must! Looked your hikes , thanks again for taking us along with you, much appreciated.

[@tdadventures]

Hi Debbie, hi John. I am watching your beautiful video from Assateague Island National Seashore in MD. What an experience to be surrounded by wild horses. We like this place so much, we are staying another week. The pant is nice. I like lots of pockets. Yum yum the pie!! Utah is so beautiful. Can’t wait to check it out one day.

[@FromShetoMe]

It was you guys running your batteries down that made me want to see how much power it took to boil water. Doesn't take much cooking to get dangerously low.

Hi guys - One of our favorite National Parks. It’s all about the pie and cinnamon rolls. Take care and travel safe.

[@jeffreyraines6091]

What a excellent adventure!!! Most of the time Nature is star of the show, in this case the pies are right up there!! Once again, a educational adventure and the added bonus of delicious pies. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing 👍 Safe travels

[@mosswinkle3015]

Thank you! Pants are ordered. It’s impossible to find deep pockets for us girls. We also share a love of pie so I’d better keep moving. Happy trials. Hope to get back to Escalante soon. Beautiful place.

[@pattyk8594]

I love watching your videos, the scenery is so beautiful! And John looked so proud to get you those cinnamon rolls at the end and stay under budget, it was nice to see the joy in his eyes :o)

[@cheryl7917]

Thanks for a great video on one of my favorite places to visit, one can never have too many of those pies 😋. Ordered a pair of the hiking pants, I too love pockets. I'm 5' 8" and have extra long legs, it's next to impossible to find pants that are long enough, these are the PERFECT length. I normally wear a 6 and ordered the medium, they fit perfect with like you said, enough room for some long underwear for cooler weather. Haven't had them out hiking yet but they feel really comfortable, look forward to wearing them. I like that the waste is not to high or low, just perfect. Your reviews are always great, thanks!

[@FromShetoMe]

Even at 5’6”, I often find pants are too short. Must be terrible for you. I also forgot to mention that they also have a pocket for knee pads. I ordered a pair for gardening.

[@always.wondering.wandering]

Great combo, tasty treats and beautiful scenery to camp by. Like the pants, I love pockets too, thanks for showing them to us ladies. Take care

Excellent job editing....really like the "fade out" effect when you were walking along a trail. Thanks for your honesty on product endorsements, it adds to your credibility. So many YTer's are posting vlogs of the equipment they have in their Amazon store as we approach the holiday shopping season. Although you all did seem to endorse pie and cinnamon rolls 😊

[@pattibrotz3684]

My husband and I were in Capitol Reef Park in June and we hiked the Grand Wash trail but we didn’t go up onto the rocks, the trail stayed on the same level that we parked (same parking lot where you parked). Never saw signs for Cassidy Arch. Bummer! But looked like you guys had a great time!

[@FromShetoMe]

I’d like to do the hike you did.

[@angpb6176]

Yes to pies & useable pockets on women’s pants! Appreciate the honest review - love the pants & the colour is beautiful. Awesome video - thank you! This area is top of my list and I definitely would have chosen strawberry rhubarb peach, too.

[@alnolan8574]

Thank you for another nice video..You and John are doing a great job!

[@timsmith7625]

Thanks for the video and tours. Like that area and now will have to hunt more for the pies out there! 🥧. Also, beside Lewis & Clark trail, I am a fan of John C Fremont who marked a lot of territory in the US, albeit somewhat of a controversial figure. Travel safe!

Wonderful video. Someday Peter and I will visit Utah. The mention of pies and rolls, which are a favorite, is not keeping me from drooling for a bite. They are not on my present healthy menu plan. My current yummy treats are fresh fruits accompanied with fruit flies🙄 I’m getting a pair of those hiking pants when my travel begins next year.

[@FromShetoMe]

LOL. A little added protein with the fruit.

[@chucksmith31]

Hi there - we enjoy your channel. We recently returned from Capital Reef ourselves and what a great park and campground. I’m curious if you were there on 10/21-10/22 because it looks like our campervan in the background at site 36 when you return on your ebikes. If so, I regret we missed the chance to connect and thank you for your content.

[@FromShetoMe]

Yes, we were! Sorry we missed you too.

[@jerryphillips7330]

You didn't show pictures of the Pioneer Registry. It is on the left side about a quarter mile down the Capitol Gorge Trail. There are also a few names carved on the right side of canyon wall. If you keep walking you will come to the Water Pockets

[@FromShetoMe]

For some reason, I didn't get any video or photos of them. Must have had a brain cramp. I spent quite a bit of time looking at them and wondering how they reached so high. Were they standing on ladders (the way ancient people did) or is that how much material had washed away from the ground.

[@jerryphillips7330]

@@FromShetoMe The rangers said they stood on their wagons and did it. One of the names was done with shooting a rifle. If you look close, his name is written with bullet holes. Since the turn of the century the ground under the names has eroded leaving the name high which is good, so they can be protected.

[@FromShetoMe]

@@jerryphillips7330 Thanks! Good to know.

Very good...but no ice cream 🍨!!

They do sell ice cream at the shop but it’s disappointing compared to the pie.
