okay we're in a slot canyon now let's see how far i can make it i don't know why i'm whispering
oh god there's no way......whaaat?!
Hey you guys!
Thanks for joining us on another journey. Today we're at Capitol Reef National Park in Utah
what are we hiking Ethan? Cohab Canyon Cohab Canyon trail and these are my lovely children
Ethan and Autumn you remember Autumn from Zion... So sit bac,k relax and enjoy the journey!
where are we at April? your mom's house Wayne we're not at my mom's house she'd never clean this this doesn't
need cleaning well sometimes with the stupid litterers "littererrrs" yeah what we doin April?
surfing surfing? we're not surfing not out in the desert there's no water trying to think of something clever something
smart-assy.. we are hiking the Cohab/Cohab Canyon Trail at Capitol Reef National Park Utah-er Utah-er?
Utah-er you're a Utah-er no i'm not you are oh nice of them to put a board wooo! don't look down...whoa
that's cool don't look down!
what are we doing Wayne? we are doing slow motion in a national park
the lucky thing is we live in Utah
so even though we've been under quarantine we're allowed to go out and do some hiking
get some exercise so that's what we're out doing this. too shall pass! i guess the arch
is three and a half miles away we should do Cassidy Arch you can walk you can walk across
three and a half miles is a lot though oh quit you're crying you're a teenager yeah but i mean not today is all i'm saying
i don't want to today where are we going now> we'll just go straight ...
unless we want to go down i don't think we're going to do that
no going down you don't want to go down until you're done going up
that's true i hate it when i start a hike at the up yeah those are not hiking shoes Ethan yeah they are
i took these to Moab, Zion
plenty of places they work until you're on Angel's Landing and you fall to your death no
i wore these on Angel's Landing are you serious there's no grip on those oh no there's a lot of grip
really? yeah they may be flat but look on these rocks
those are Converse let's see if he busts his butt with his Converse
his legs are so long he can do it in like--he does know how to actually--whoa you really do know how to use your shoes! look at
that he looked like a cartoon character with his feet sticking to the to the wall like glue
it's crazy! cartoon character you're just like bugs bunny the rock is like the sticky! that's what it seemed like
sticky rock! Ethan's a photographer but i'm turning him into a videographer. slowly
little baby arch
going the right way? yeah i think you go down i think he said you crawl through down he said there's a
cave up there no yeah you can keep going go find the cave oh yeah there's a little yeah
okay that's why i'm freaking out i know oh i see where it is but if we got in there there is no way we can get out no way to get out of the cave
oh well don't do that--it's over and down i think--don't do it we don't want to we don't want to life fight
you guys out of here--it's so thin though--and i'm too fat and old to try to carry out yeah i
Ethan would probably be good with it i'm literally the biggest one yeah he's bigger
than i am well i--no he's not--he weighs more than i do well you have a bigger belly--i'm definitely wider than you
i got a bigger belly but he's taller than you well he is taller than me
but i'm overall a larger person you are quite large especially from this angle yeah--you're a giant a giant
dude what's going on? you know my belly's been jacked up ever since this whole corona virus thing
with all the stress of no money and no life
i love when you get into these slot canyons
hey Wayne i wanna i wanna see you squeeze through there fat boy in a little canyon
fat guy in a little coat--oh god there's no way
whaaat> there's no way i can fit through here hang on
let me see i'm gonna drop the bag okay see how far i can get it
here take the bag Autumn come walk through here you're so skinny
okay we're in a slot canyon now let's see how far i can make it i don't know why i'm whispering
okay yeah that's uh i'm pretty sure that's as far as i'm getting
this canyon's not made for large guys
pretty awesome though yeah it is Ethan see how far you can make it climb the walls straddle
the walls up here okay let me get out of your way so you're gonna have to straddle the walls
if you're gonna make it anywhere Autumn could fit through here if she's being a party pooper
do you want to take the camera or not well hold up for a second
here's the big one the baby the baby hand me the baby so what i call the baby is my
Canon rig here so i'm taking the high road got Ethan down there
in the low road see how far you can make it Ethan high road seems to end from my angle it does
i think you can make it if you can get up high get up see if you can climb the wall yeah you
can make it to that spot just like my butt no no don't go up above it no i can fit you can
fit through that? yeah it's a little squished but i'll be able to fit oh i just got too big a belly
ah well i don't think you can make it that way you've got to climb the wall--i can it's just it's hard to
lift myself with this camera okay set the camera down there you go down to the ground
will it hurt it i really don't want to throw my brand new gopro 8 down on the ground drop it
it is an action camera but really i don't want to smash it. gently
sets it down i think gently just throw it Ethan
well it fell a little bit but okay can you get to it again that's all i really care about
okay well
ah he made it through
how far can you go? yeah? get to zoom in on him
i can't even see it now yeah i can does it open up?
not really no? no i mean it opened up so that you didn't have to keep going keep going on your side
like it's open now yeah that's what i mean yeah right here ...
that's cool take some cool pictures
you know what's weird to think about is
that we we're in a canyon but yet we are up we had to climb up here and then we still
are in a canyon that's how every canyon is because in order for it to be a canyon it
has to have at least some sort of slope you know to have the run off we just we just went
from we went from the mouth of the canyon not where the canyon like the river flow starts
crazy! we're pretty high in elevation too we're i think we're at like 6,500 or something like that i think we're 7,000
oh okay i wonder how all these holes were formed probably water--is that what you were saying Ethan they're like mini arches?
yeah they're like like some of these will eventually be arches but a lot of them
will just erode and like you know fall right canyons like these are how arches are formed
it looks like honeycombs though i mean like yeah like more like a beehive kind of
how it starts you you have a slab of rock and then
water erodes at it and they'll just take some chunks mostly it'll just take chunks but
over millions of years it'll form like an arch
and that comes from our national park guide Ethan yes this is me park ranger Hartung
one of the reasons i really like Capitol Reef probably
the most out of the Utah national parks is because it's a secret not many people know about it
so don't tell anybody! right it's extra bad right now because of the coronavirus and everybody's on
lockdown in fact most of the park is actually closed
we're actually on the outskirts of the town or out in the outskirts of Fruita
which is the town just outside of Capitol Reef it's still part of the Capitol Reef National Park
it's just not in the scenic byway area i'm gonna give you a travel tip for it too if you do go to
if you do go to Capitol Reef i highly suggest renting a four-wheel drive something with a higher
wheelbase clearance because it is an awesome park because a lot of the park has dirt roads
and you do need a four-wheel drive to really experience some really cool stuff don't tell
the rental car company because technically you're not supposed to take rental cars off-roading
but i don't know if it's considered off-roading if it's an actual road it's just dirt oh my goodness!
talkie-talk blah blah blah blah blah--talkie-talk! all right guys tell me what you think in the comments below this is the first
