Utah's High Spur | The BEST Slot Canyon You've NEVER SEEN! [4K UHD]

One of The Most Majestic Slot Canyons I have EVER SEEN. The High Spur is WAY OUT THERE and just a few miles west of Canyonlands National Park. It is 45 miles of dirt road to Hans Flat Ranger Station and then another 12 miles of easy 4X4 roads to the Trail Head. Although I Descended and then Reascended this canyon in a non-technical fashion, there were a few spots where climbing back out was difficult as a solo hiker. Team Assists would have made climbing out much easier. Round trip was distance was about 8 miles much of it sand or rock scrambling. It was worth every step!

Great adventure Karl! This has been on my radar for awhile. Can't believe your channel doesn't get more views. Your videography is Top Notch!

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Thanks 👍. The area had been on my radar too, as I mentioned...sure am glad I truck camped out there for a couple nights! Epic canyon, incredible experience. Very nice comment 👍, Karl.

[@samlondres]

It was good running into you climbing back out. Im not going to lie im jealous you climbed back out. I was solo and doing the road walk with no shuttle and carrying a rope was miserable. Plus you got to see the slot twice! Definitely the way to do this one i think.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

You too man! Great to hear from you, I agree totally! I've gotten caught enough now with it heating up, getting fatigued at the same time, to push it too hard. From hearing this from you glad I chose the route out that I did. Thanks again brother 👍, Karl

[@papajon62]

Wind, sand, water, and time. Nature’s tools to create masterpieces of art. Very nice slot canyons and enjoyable hike. Good thing you’re super skinny for some of those spots! As I watched, I found the background music very soothing for my tinnitus 👂

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

You wouldn’t believe the slot I did the day before, I had to exhale to get through it and it was pretty scary. Cheers buddy.

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

That was a really cool slot. Couldn’t believe the helicopter. That’s one way to get to the adventure zone. Thanks for sharing😀👍

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Ha yes on the helicopter! Seeing that out there was so weird, I initially thought it had to be an accident response, but no, apparently a few rich folk overcoming the isolation Lol. I have had this area on my radar for a while now, so impressed, amazed! Thanks much, Karl 👍👍

[@rugged9769]

Another epic adventure Karl. Thanks for showing the details of this super cool slot in the middle of nowhere

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Absolutely! I've been looking at it for months now, put together a 3 day trip which I think turned out great! Thanks again, Karl 👍

[@craighamley3669]

The most beautiful desert adventure vlog I've run across in ages on KZbin - keep up the awesome work!

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Yes it is! As you could probably tell, I was blown away by the almost endless majesty of this place. So thanks again and please share with friends! Karl 👍

[@everydayglory]

[@markjeffries5966]

Amazing twists and turns and beautiful looks upward. Fine map and views from above. And, an IFO. Thanks!

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Hey thanks for the comment! Appreciate what you said... thanks 👍, Karl.

[@tg569]

Incredible. Thanks for sharing. Super video work for a lone hiker.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Really appreciate those words my friend. Working solo isn't always ideal of course, but I would say things usually turn out pretty well. Cheers, Karl 👍!

[@Kenny-rn2xc]

Thanks for taking me along. I will never get to see this for my self. To old to do what you do. Great video.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Really appreciate it!! Makes me feel great that folks like yourself got enjoyment from this extraordinary formation...hope you find others as entertaining as well. Thanks again, Karl 👍!

[@PilotEJ401]

Spectacular Slot! What was the helicopter doing there? Didn't appear to be a Rescue. Anyway, great work as always!

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Not rescuing anyone, that I know. Glad you enjoyed it, was incredible! Karl 🤠

[@j.sweeney3567]

I just watched a couple of your adventures and just loved them. Like your commentary and the little bit of background music. My husband and did some hiking in the different parks in Utah and Arizona. I loved being there. We are Mountaineers from Washington. Regretfully, my sweet husband passed a few years ago and now I am living vicariously through different hiking and canyoneering videos. I do hike weekly but up here in Washington.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Thanks for the nice comment and appreciate your sharing the stories! Please enjoy what we have to offer, plenty of variety here. Thanks again, Karl 👍👍

[@rongibson6281]

Good climb. Was the Helicopter doing the easy way to see the canyon. I bet that was a surprise, eh!!

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Thanks Buddy, heck yeah the chopper was startling to come up on it when you're literally in isolation!! You never expect that. That said, had a great time! Thanks 👍, Karl

[@BaryNusz]

Just found you. Great video and awesome slot. Adding it to my list

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Glad you did! Welcome and appreciate your kind words, Dark Angel would be world famous if not 50 miles out in the Utah outback! Karl 👍👍

[@anthonyrenaud5783]

It would be amazing to explore that place. Just not alone thou. With a group of friends would be best. What an incredible landscape.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

It truly IS incredible, this is no exaggeration...of course as with any outdoor experience, always better in person than through a lens! Karl

[@jimwheeler8865]

Wow! Based on your video, I would agree with your assessment that it is the best slot Canyon I've never seen! How is it I've lived here most of my life and have never seen or heard of that one? Amazing videography dude... Seriously!!! Question: Approximately how many miles is it round trip to do that hike?

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

My hike was roughly 7 or 8 miles with half being Sand walking. Totally worth it but a long ass drive on dirt roads. Thanks for the compliment. Cheers!

[@peakspike]

Another great adventure! What brand of shoes are you wearing?

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Dynafit scrambling specific, they were on sale a couple year ago at sierra trading post. I generally try what’s on sale and return OR get a second pair if I like them. Those Have been nice, good climbers but mesh uppers in sand was not ideal. . . Cheers!

[@raulcanales861]

Great video Karl, thanks for your effort and dedication. As soon as I watched your video I decided to go there on my next canyon hike. I’ve been looking for the route in ALL TRAILS app. Does anybody know if it’s there? I haven’t been able to find it. Thanks to everyone in advance.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Check out the, “road trip Ryan, “website” app. It should have everything you need.

[@markweaver1012]

Gorgeous! But could my wife do it? And could the dog? Hmmm.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Definitely not the dog.

[@markweaver1012]

@@KarlDeckerPresents I dunno, we've gotten to be pretty good at scrambling with her (though sometimes that means me picking her up and lifting her up to the next ledge). TBH, I think we could get her up and down both of the obstacles in the video. If you've been to WirePass/Buckskin gulch, for example, we got her up the ladder. Also up the chain section at Corona Arch in Moab.

[@ricbrady]

What's the brand name of your shoes?

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Dit scrambling specific shoes I found on Sierra trading post for cheap. Mesh is not ideal for sand, hiking though.

[@treborrelluf]

choose different music please

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

I hadn't used that main track for a while, rest assured I will give it a long vacation LoL

[@rugged9769]

Personally I think Journey to Mars is perfect for such epic desert adventure, but to each his own I guess

[@terryh3689]

Cool canyon! Super annoying background music. Had to mute it.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Hey, always welcome constructive feedback. Thanks, Karl 👍
