Hey everybody Dave here again with Todd. we are in Capitol Reef National Park in Utah
Now this is not a very well-known National Park and I didn't know a lot about it before I came here
But it is pretty spectacular
right now we're in the Grand Wash which is basically a canyon and
We're going to hike up to Cassidy Arch today. It's about a 3.4 round trip hike and
I think we'll be able to stand on the arch
so
This sounds really awesome. Let's go do the thing
I hope so
So it is winter here in Utah that is why we are some of the only people here right now
And it's why we're pretty bundled up. We are over a mile above sea level
So we're at a really high elevation and it's about 31 degrees Fahrenheit, just below freezing
So I may not be fully prepared for this
Right now, I'm okay, but if the wind starts blowing I may be in bad shape
We gotta go up?
So it looks like we're gaining about a thousand feet of elevation on this hike.
I thought it'd be less than that, I'll be honest
How do you feel?
Tired
I don't know
So fun fact
Cassidy Arch, the one we're hiking to
is actually named after Butch Cassidy the famous American outlaw
Because apparently he had a hideout here in the Grand wash area
That's pretty cool.
I feel like we're playing outlaw right now
Wow, this is an awesome viewpoint,
I believe that is our final destination
So we have a sign saying Cassidy Arch this way, but I don't see the trail anymore
Yeah, that looks like it might be itwith the stacked rock there
We finally found it
It's not so much of an arch as a bridge, I would say. but really cool. I'm gonna go stand on it
long way down very long way
Hi Todd
what is this for?
Chain! so I guess it's to kind of look down
I'd say that's a good
Five six hundred feet down. That's a little scary, I will admit
Holy cow, oh my gosh
ooh, that is so far down
Do not stand there
so we're walking back so that we can
make it to Bryce Canyon before the end of the day
Stay tuned for that video
Here's a tip when you're hiking this path to Cassidy arch. Keep your eyes peeled for the trail markers
Because sometimes the path isn't so visible. Yeah, we almost
Went down the wrong way a couple times and if you do that it can get very unsafe
So be smart, be on the lookout, and keep your eyes open
It is so quiet here
YodeleHEE
Epic echo. ECHO
You guys this was a really awesome hike I had a lot of fun
I suggest not skipping over Capitol Reef National Park if you're in Utah
and I also suggest not rushing your time here because it is really worth just taking it slow and
Absorbing nature around you. and being in winter, Yeah, we have it pretty much all to ourselves
It's awesome. If you like the video, let me know in the comments and give it a thumbs up
