In this video we're going to teach you what you
need to know to plan your trip to Bryce Canyon National Park.
Hey you guys! Thanks for joining us on another journey. Today we're at Bryce Canyon National Park
in Utah. If you're new to the channel this is April--heyyo--and I'm Wayne. We do a video
every Thursday. Sit back, relax and enjoy the journey! one of the biggest mistakes people
make when they're planning their trip to Utah's Mighty Five they don't give themselves enough time
plan double or even triple what you originally think for each park which we recognize might be
very challenging depending on your life circumstances but--or just pick
one park and kind of just enjoy it yeah difference is to drive from Zion to Bryce
it's a long drive you waste a half a day and you don't want to do that drive at night too many deer
too many elk too many moose that's cool yeah i don't think it'll turn out like an ancient wall
a cake cake doesn't remind me a cake just a quick environmental tip this trail
it's really not a trail when you see a bunch of rocks blocking it off or out here a bunch of dead
trees don't go up there it takes a long time for the desert to regrow we got way
too many people that come out to Bryce Canyon to break any more havoc on this beautiful land
April's always hopping from shade to shade well i have to
there's not much shade out here either i have a skin cancer in my
family and i've had a spot myself gotta be careful and wear the sunscreen
like you walk around the corner and all of a sudden you just see some amazing
view and you're just like blown away how is this more amazing than the last view
windy windy windy yeah windy is not our friends uh sorry about the wind noise
where the noisy one yeah where is it just listen
but you know how it is it's like elusive
you don't hear it no oh okay that was a different one i'm not sure if you can see
those hikers over there but that gives you a perspective of how large this place is
if you look up here i believe we started somewhere over in this general area
no way back i don't know lots of zigzags if you got balance issues or vertigo issues a good idea
is to bring some trekking poles they don't need to be you know super fancy just to give you stability
definitely something i'd suggest you getting for your Bryce Canyon trip is obviously a camel bag
or a hydration pack get them off the internet they're very inexpensive get one that has pockets
in it that way you can bring some snacks with you and at least two liters of water per person
definitely don't forget your sunscreen it's not even summer we're burning we're coming out
of hibernation you've got sunscreen on your nose you want to get it no not really where
you're good it's all fixed no more burning for you
this is the Sinking Steamboat oh yeah wow
look at these it's just not the same when you get down and you hike down into this and you
see the hoodoos as seeing them from above you earn every step of this hike but the reward is amazing
we're hopefully heading up now we've been heading up for a while
or hope we're getting near the car this uh eight mile track it's a doozy it's more than a doozy
i mean you can see the incline it's been this way for a long time but also get magnificent
views like this have you seen anything like this in any other part of the world
we saw something similar to it we saw hoodoos in Bulgaria they're definitely different than this
at this point we're trying to go do the whole Fairyland Loop the whole eight miles
April's not happy with me
kind of like Precipice see the card above check it out the rocks are purple not just the red and
the yellow and the gray even that greenish color yeah i mean look ...... it's
insane
this looks so different with the green trees i like it better
yeah i like the green trees with it it gives it real depth it's amazing
these hoodoos are so incredible to think these are hundreds of thousands of years
old i don't even know but they're really old and they change all the time with
the rainstorms and the snowstorms it's like Mother Nature's artwork we made a
huge mistake we had our two liter of water that's in our camel bag and then
both of us thought the other person put the extra liter and a half in there and we didn't bring it ...April knew!
she just likes to tell me i told you so hey when i get an opportunity to be right
it doesn't happen all the time take advantage of it huh damn straight
anyway make sure you bring lots of water with you we just realized that we have two more miles
left on this trail we are dehydrating something bad i am so thankful April had some gum in her
in the camel bag at least it makes you feel like you're not dehydrating half as much
if you were in the middle of the summer and it's 120 degrees i think we'd be dead well if you're
out here in 120 degrees you're insane busiest time in the park is in the summer when everybody's here
every time i'm here i think about my how my love for this park was sparked when i was like maybe
10. i had this postcard on my bulletin board in my room on my wall my whole entire growing up
years came to visit i think a second time in that time frame anyway i love that park from afar
as a girl growing up in Florida and now i get to love it so close by yeah we come here all the time--i love it that way
we come to Bryce a lot
i see our car thank god! the last three miles with no water so dangerous
we're so glad you guys could join us on this journey
you want to chug it but you shouldn't
oh my god i don't even want to breathe i just want to drink water
tell us about it April i'm like part in the sun part nod i'm so sick of the sun she beat down
on us hardcore today what am i doing talking point about the bringing your sandwiches hi
here's a sandwich so if you want to save money bring the stuff in your cooler to make sandwiches
or what we call hoodwiches if you fly into Vegas or if you fly into Salt Lake City our suggestion
is stop at a grocery store there grab you a styrofoam cooler put it in the rental car fill it
up because when you get out here the smaller towns that are out here they don't have a lot
of stuff in the grocery stores they're literally the size of convenience stores
after an eight mile hike you would not believe how good a turkey sandwich tastes
i'm almost like delirious from that don't you feel like i mean i'm like still like full on dizzy
what made this so hard was the fact that it goes up it goes down it does switch backs it goes up it
goes down it does up and down with switchbacks and then it goes up and up and up and up and up and up
it's too soon for me to say it was worth it i'm sure i will i'm still grumpy from those
freaking last three miles that was like serious serious danger stuff that could have turned
really bad really fast no and then we could still feel the effects of it later tonight
it's not like it was just those three miles and then bam we get to the car and we're okay
we could still feel it for at least another 12 to 24 hours you hear the sound of the
motorcycle that's the awesome way to see these national parks is on a motorcycle
we have a video on it card above it's not one of the best videos but you should still check it out
ask me later tomorrow if i think it was worth it i mean i joke i jest right giving Wayne crap
taking some of my pain out on him i deserve it but yeah of course it was worth it it was not
necessarily the smartest because we were not at the physical fitness level would have been optimal
for doing over 10 miles today and yes i will be saying over 10 miles even if it's only 0.2
and especially we were not prepared with the whole freaking water fiasco
that was our mistake we should have put the water in that was sitting next to the bag
incredible even though my knee is screaming at me right now i'm gonna check my stepper
app the most we've walked in a long time What's your guess Wayne? 15,000. 22,140 steps!
10.2 miles I'm now skinny! no no wonder i am obliterated absolutely
obliterated. We want to thank you guys for watching our video
