Nate's Great Escapes

Добавлен 12 май 2023
At first I might sound boring, maybe I am? I'm a middle-aged manger of the Operational Center of Excellence at a bank with a passion for travel and finance. I'm a walking contradiction - half nerd/half adventurer. I'm like a human ATM, dispensing financial advice and travel tips in equal measure. At times it is a mystery how I'm able to fit so much in between family, work, and play. Regardless, if you need a lesson on frugality or a recommendation for an adventure of a lifetime, I'm your guy.

Dad/Daughter Journey through Guatemala and Costa Rica

We spent several days hiking volcanoes and descending canyons in Central America. When my friend first suggested a Dad/Daughter trip to Guatemala, I have to admit it wasn't exactly at the top of my travel bucket list. As someone who typically leans towards more adventurous or historical destinations, the idea of spending my precious days off in this Central American country seemed a bit offbeat...

Zion's Subway
Просмотров 19011 месяцев назад
Zions Subway canyon is probably the most well-known technical canyon in Zion National Park. It is actually the first canyon I did when I was about 14 years old. Back then, it wasn’t nearly as popular, and we had the canyon to ourselves. Today it is extremely popular and if you do it, you’ll likely end up crossing paths with many people. So does it live up to the hype? In my opinion, no. I think...

what time of year did you go? What was the air and water temp like?
ancient like it was built in previous millenium?
Estimates for the ruins are they were built between 900-1200 CE
Fantastic family trip- kids will always remember it!
Thank you, I surely hope they will always remember it
Very cool!
It is definitely worth checking heading to this area if you are near by.
Awesome!!
Thanks for posting this it's a beautiful video! Saw lots of details I've not seen elsewhere. What month did you go? I thought the water level looked a little higher than in some other videos (for example the sandbar by the boulder at the base of the Arco del Tiempo was submerged). That portage at roughly 9:10 looked a little tricky. Any thoughts on that or how it might be different with more/less water flow? Been thinking about doing this for a few years now, but haven't pulled the trigger, I'll probably need to do it in a January as that's when I can get time off of work.
We went in December, but there had been a lot of rain before we got there. We were warned that the water was high and that portage was super dangerous as we had a person sucked through a sieve. Hopefully if you go the water level is lower which should make it hopefully safer. It is definitely a super pretty area.
So cool
