come check this out
Hey you guys! Thanks for joining us on another journey.
Today we're at Dinosaur National Monument in Utah. So sit back, relax and enjoy the journey!
Josie Bassett Morris nearing 40 years of age divorced and with her children grown she wanted
a home of her own so she chose this spot for its plentiful water and good pasture she did all the
tasks herself including things at the time which would have been considered men's work she grew
fruits vegetables she raised cattle she lived here for like 50 years lived until she was 90.
she was a badass oh you are allowed in here huh Autumn that's just cool ready for a dirt floor house
...yeah. that's pretty cool cabin yeah? yeah what trail are we on April it's Hog's Canyon and Box Canyon
i was gonna tell you this is my kind of hike in the shade in the shade flat ground easy nothing
scary no i mean i don't mind the challenge on occasion i like where it's kind of like cozy right
we're cozied into this little canyon cozy little canyon it's nice to have an easier hike especially
when you're not beating in the sun and especially when we're out of shape it's nice to have--covid
lifestyle fat and out of shape--it's a nice to have a not be doing a scary challenging one all the time
and this is anyone's skill level really yep super easy
i don't know if you can hear it but the sound of nature the water the bird in the background
you gotta come out check this out this place is amazing
oh look at this this is cool
Dinosaur National Monument is pretty impressive i've kind of didn't think it was going to be as
amazing as some of the full-blown national parks but so far you got to put this on your list it's
a woodpecker it's a woodpecker? yeah where's--see him? oh i see him there he is i see him
damn i missed the woodpecker you're like a bull in a china closet
you did pretty well there being quiet i must commend you thank you and it's hot
it is hot it is a desert bring lots of water but this one's got lots of shade on it
so it's lucky how do you want to be do you want to be posey or do
you want to just be like looking off in a distance just go vogue ...i don't know
i don't i never know how to pose for pictures i know it's--remember when Autumn was doing splits at the uh it's Coral Pink
Sand Dunes? check the card out above i know i've said this in a lot of my national park videos
in the past it's always new people watching i like to give a travel tip go see all the national parks
it's $80 a year for national park pass that gets you and your car load in for free if you're a
veteran or active military you get the pass for free as well if you are uh handicapped come and
check it out as well you do get a national park pass uh if you're handicapped as well for free i
believe that's lifetime. Josie kept her cattle here yeah all she did was just block off that little gap back
there yeah it's actually quite smart yeah i wonder how the cattle got water she probably had it by
her homestead by the river i'm gonna definitely need help down oh i can tell oh man
come check this out... look it's like coming out of the rock! oh wow that's awesome it's like a spring or something yeah it's a spring
that's cool god i love the sound of water mm-hmmm you want to come up huh it's pretty easy
it's just like straight up when you get to the end of the trail you can always head up to get
a little bit better view it's a little bit steeper up here but you got hiking boots not tennis shoes
because you're going to need them for this part for sure but you get views like this
give you an idea of how straight up and down this is
April's doing the-- oh please do not--crab crawl--do not capture--this i have captured the crab crawl
don't you dare laugh at me i'm not laughing at you you know when you're in it
it feels you know massive and you know cozy on either side of you but then when you get
up here and you see what you were down in it gives it a whole other perspective of
another level of how massive it is right yeah and how teeny tiny we are yeah we better get out of
the sun you're frying girl in this big bad world bring lots of sunscreen and lots of water i can't
even see her can you see Autumn down there? she took the easy route out she's taking a nap because
you didn't let her sleep sleeping for sissies it's adventure time. this is us coming back down
what goes up has to come down okay you remember when April said this was an easy hike
the first part of it is super easy the last half of it
is...i'm gonna say it's intense we didn't make it all the way to the canyon wall
we don't even know if that's actually a formal trail or if people have just chosen to
pave one you know because they wanted to go further and see more do you know what
i mean yeah i think i think that that was not a part of the formal national monument trail
we never actually saw a defined trail after we left the trail but it was still fun to explore
definitely put it on the list it's super easy to walk to to at least go as far as you want to go
with it and beautiful. We want to thank you guys for watching our video all the way to the end. If
