in this video we're doing Cassidy Arch trail which is 1.7 out and a 1.7 back
Hey you guys! Thanks for joining us on another journey. Today we're at Capitol Reef National
Park in Utah. If you're new to the channel, this is April and I'm Wayne. We do a video from somewhere
in the world every Thursday; hit the subscribe button and smash that bell. So sit back, relax and
enjoy the journey! all right guys we're on Cassidy Arch Trail in Capitol Reef this is my favorite
hike in Capitol Reef National Park 10 million stairs of Cassidy arch just a hiking tip for you
when you're going up the trail you have the right of way
so people that are coming down need to wait for you just so you know the hiking etiquette
i was thinking sounds like an invasion no no but that was like very loud it was
yeah it was not a typical uh airplane sound but it always gets me
Cassidy Arch i would consider to be a strenuous hike
but i think if you're in relatively good shape you can do it just bring lots of water with
you give you an idea for April and i we have five liters of water it's about what i suggest
there's the parking lot
and that's the road you come in the dirt road Grand Wash perfectly fine for any of the vehicles
a little over a quarter of the way in just going straight up
like my heart might explode that's why we're taking a little break plus
we got to let these other people who are faster go by sure i need to take a break
okay so check out the part of the trail that we've done so far
as you can see parking lot's getting further away check out that view it's been so amazing
just hiking up this so what do you think is better hike in Cassidy Arch in the wintertime or in the
blazing hot of the summer well technically it's still spring oh yeah but absolutely in the winter
so this is the first glimpse of Cassidy Arch you can see it right there all right April
all right Wayne we're almost to Cassidy Arch no we're not yeah i can see it right there
you can see it but i wouldn't say we're almost there we're close anyway we've done this hike
in the winter time in January one year and now we're here in the springtime which is better
definitely winter hey i get hot so easily this is so hot i can't hike it naked i mean i could but
i don't know how many people would enjoy that and plus i have to watch out for
the sun rays because i've got skin cancer going on in my family and i had a speck removed
i definitely like the winter better why you can always put more clothes on
and less people oh a lot less people this is when you get to the Mars surface
look at this view see the main road then it turns to the dirt road
i feel like you're on top of the world
okay we're out on Cassidy Arch now looking back at the crowd of people i can't even tell you're
on an arch from here i can't believe this is one of the arches that you can actually walk across
that's very very cool never gets old it's freaky though for me
if you're scared of heights it will freak you out still worth it though see that chain there
i believe that's where the people rappel off of this my friend Alvin keeps trying to convince me
to come down here to rappel off of Cassidy Arch comment below if you think i should
now that's a beautiful sight you see the car down there that's mine it's been a long walk back
we're almost done with the Cassidy Arch Trail and now it's raining
in the desert that doesn't happen often
i know Wayne is usually the one doing the preaching but you gotta listen to me for a
few seconds get out there and do something that maybe you've been afraid to do or try
doesn't have to be hiking doesn't even have to be outdoors if y'all have been watching
long you see me struggle a lot of the time but and every now and then i get embarrassed
but hopefully y'all can see that as maybe a shred of inspiration
there's so much to be had and life is short and it can be on your own level it doesn't
have to be anything crazy like i beat myself up for not being able to do the Precipice Trail
at Acadia National Park you know when the emotions simmer down and you think about it it's a great
accomplishment what i did on the Beehive we can all have our own little accomplishments
we're all built differently so not all of us are going to climb Mount Everest or
you know go skydiving or all sorts of crazy stuff right
but we can within our own realities perspectives within our own lives do something different do
something maybe to push yourself a little outside of your comfort zone because let me tell you
the reward is so very sweet huh Wayne it is because even if you might look like a
blubbering fool crying turning back like i did at Precipice you at least can say you tried.
