BRYCE CANYON Hoodoos Hiking + Valley of Fire & The Wave Lottery | Utah Travel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- Bryce Canyon National Park in Southern Utah is home to one of the most incredible landscapes I have ever seen. We spent one day hiking through the Bryce Canyon hoodoos from Bryce Point to Sunset Point. This is considered some of Bryce Canyon best hikes.
Our one-day hiking through Bryce Canyon was not nearly enough to experience one of the most beautiful National Parks in Utah, but it did make me appreciate Bryce Canyon hikes so much more!!
Have you ever been to Bryce Canyon? If so, please comment tips on the best things to do in Bryce Canyon for the next time we visit, and for others who want to hike this beautiful National Park!
Valley of Fire is also an incredible destination, only about an hour drive from Las Vegas. The Valley of Fire State Park is also home to a wild and unique landscape of red rocks and beautiful terrain.
As you can see from the travel vlog, we also had the opportunity to test our luck at The Wave Lottery in downtown Kanab, Utah.
The Wave is one of the most famous landmarks in the region, and is a travel photographer's dream.
Unfortunately, we were not lucky in The Wave Lottery, as there are only 10 permits granted each day in-person, and another 10 granted 4 months in-advance from an online system.
We will most definitely be back to try The Wave again, and I will most definitely return to Bryce Canyon and The Valley of Fire! I need to experience more of the National Parks in Utah!
Next up Bryce Canyon to Zion National Park!

That's not right. Is 16 spots or 4 groups(Won't have to be more than 16 people in the 4 groups) however comes first. Highly recommended to at least have group of 4 people. If only 1 or 2 people want to apply they can always partner up with somebody for more chances. Fridays the % tongey permits are higher. Since they raffle spots for 3 days. Sat, Sunday & Monday
Dear Gareth, after watching your trip to Russia, I watched all the videos on your channel, I have never experienced only the joy of watching a video, but your videos became a motivation for me to enjoy life and travel, thanks to you I have already traveled half of Russia, and I'm not going to dwell on this. Gareth, thanks!
I don't know English very well, sorry for broken English.
That general area is so beautiful, jam packed with national parks everywhere! One needs to visit at least five times in their lifetime!
I completely agree! This is my first time in the area, and I already need to get back and explore more! 😀
Spectacular scenery!
Njoy watching your video.. sooo beautiful view!!👏👏👍
Bloopers FTW! Love it!
Haha, always a good time!
My Hometown! Viva Las Vegas! 👍😁🎰🎉
Can wait to visit it’s so beautiful 🤩
Cant be wait to do the same this March! Thx for the preview. very rich video! Great views.
A spectacular pictures, thank you for sharing
Two good looking guys, stunning rock formations, amazing colors of nature and funny bloopers. 👍🏻
I grew up 25 miles from Bryce ! I Have loved this, Zion and Powell’s videos !! Welcome to Utah, prettiest state in the Union !
I cannot disagree with you there Roy, it truly is gorgeous with so many things to see and do!! 🙌
Bryce looks really cool. I was rather disappointed by Zion because it was so controlled and crowded. Bryce is now on my radar. Never even heard of the Valley of Fire, looked spectacular though. Good stuff as always Gareth, safe travels.
Bryce can get pretty badly crowded at times. If you camp overnight, then you can enjoy the park to yourself at sunrise!
I grew up 25 miles from Bryce!!! Though Zion is probably a little more fun with more hikes, Bryce’s beautify trumps any National Park !
They create national parks to "protect" the natural beauty, but all it does is draw people like flies to $h1t.
Just returned from Valley of the fires. Zion, Byrce, Arches. Valley was HOT but not crowded
@@georgedoughton9508 I visited the Valley of Fire earlier this year, pretty amazing, especially for being a state park.
So good to see you travelling again! We all live through your videos during these difficult times.
Most definitely! It has been weird and frustrating trying to get back to filming, but I'm just trying to follow the rules and do everything I can to make things happen until the world opens back up again! I appreciate you sticking around during this crazy time! 👊
@@GarethLeonard - your reply made my day! Hopefully you can come back to Melbourne soon. Still love that outfit you bought from the op shop on Sydney road!
Stunning place! Thanks for sharing. Great to see your new content 😀
Cheers Billy! It's great to be back creating and exploring again!
Man you are making me so jealous. I lived and worked in Zion for ten months before Covid arrived. The beauty of Utah is INCREDIBLE. I miss that area so. much. You guys are really having the full experience. i could not do the NARROWS.......MY FEAR OF HEIGHTS GOT THE BEST OF ME. Love your videos. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
Thanks for adding the airport footage. That wasn't completely unnecessary at all.
Wow amazing place very peaceful very relaxing nice rock formation at Bryce canyon 🙂💫💫💫💫💫thank you for sharing your nice video Gareth
I am LOVING your videos!! I just booked a guided camping tour to Utah to visit the Mighty 5 and I can't wait! I am enjoying all your videos, you guys crack me up! The out takes are hilarious. Keep up the good work guys!
Glad to see you back where you belong. Thanks.
Thanks Jim, it feels good to be back! 👊
Great video Gareth and the outtakes at the end are awesome!
Haha, thanks Andre!
Great to see you back in deep again brother! Great video!🔥
Thank you! 🙏
The bloopers 😆👌
🤦🏻♂️😂
Lol.. I was like “Are they trying to say HooDoos?” You guys are too funny. 😂
What a beautiful place!! I’m from the west coast and have only been to very few states in the USA, I’m now traveling around Spain but I realize that there are so many incredible places back home that I should visit!! Hoping to travel around the US very soon 😍
I feel the same way Emma! I haven't explored nearly enough of my own backyard! 🇺🇸
Love the outtakes at the end 😂
Haha, there's always a lot of bloopers behind the scenes! 😆
😍😍😍 omg I like it I want to go here
Bro I love your channel man. Finally a channel that I can enjoy watching eats and travel. Through my lens has some competition
STRONG RECOMMENDATION for those with kids or who maybe aren't the strongest hikers (like me): Start your hike into the canyon at Sunset Point and work your way back to Sunrise Point. I say this because Sunset Point is MUCH STEEPER than Sunrise and it's a bear to climb up to Sunset Point when you're ending your hike. Much better to go down steep and work back up more gradually. Either way, it's beautiful and the scenery is spectacular. I cannot stress this enough, though: Go counter-clockwise. You'll be glad you did.
The canyon looks so nice, and can’t wait for your Africa trip!
It's all coming together! This is going to be BIG! One of the craziest trips I have done in a long time, I can't wait!! 🙏
We are heading there in October. Really enjoyed this.
Great Production! Nice video timeline! Well done, worth subscribing!!!
Thank you!
Fabulous video..
Thank you Molly!
Bryce Canyon was so busy and half of the trails were closed when I went last week. Absolutely beautiful state.
Really cool video that gave me a lot of inspiration! Thanks a lot take care
Thank you! 🙏
The "Fire Wave" at Valley of Fire is a great alternative to "The Wave" and no lottery!
Looking good Gareth, keep safe and healthy
Thank you! 🙏
My husband and I got married at Valley of Fire State Park!! Such a beautiful place ❤️❤️❤️❤️
In 2019, we drove from San Diego to Wyoming to visit Yellowstone. Drove to Utah to see Bryce and Zion then to Vegas for the Valley of Fire. Stayed in Vegas before going back to SD. Spent a total of ten days😊
What a beautiful place ... definitely unique to 🇺🇸... including that HUuuuge sub!!!
Haha, crazy sub, right!?
Watching from mindanao Philippines
Hula, hulu, hululu, hulabunga... oh, we have a map :)) Man, thank you for the wonderful mood! Im so glad to see you continue traveling and to see such a beautiful places!
LOL, I couldn't remember it for the life of me! 😂
Flying to Vegas Sunday to get away from the Texas Arctic blast. We’re headed to Zion and Bryce, can’t freaking wait. Glad this showed up in my list.
I just subscribed recently and I looove your videos!! 😊❤️❤️😊
Thank you so much! 🙏
Amazing place that Bryce Canyon Wow. And longest sub I’ve ever seen Gareth lol
G'day from Australia. Your Travel Deeper videos are always worth the weeks wait and I really enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the canyons. Also congratulations on reaching the 300K subscribers mark. Next goal is to hit the over a million subscribers 👍
I truly appreciate it! 🙏 Next stop, a mili!! 😧
i did ATV in valley of fire and camping near in bryce you rock Gareth
Epic landscape there 👍👍
Unreal, right!?
@@GarethLeonard it sure is and one day I hope to see it in person 👍
Wow the sandwich is a whole day meal. The wave rock looks amazing. How much of Bryce Canyon can a 70 yrs old see without doing all the hikes you guys did. It has always been in my bucket list. Good to see you wearing your mask always. Travel safely and keep well!
Thank you Delfin! You can see a ton of Bryce Canyon even without hiking. There are many lookout spots and you can easily drive between vistas!
😍😍
🙏 😃
I've never heard someone pronounce Navajo like that 🤣. Gorgeous spots..can't wait to see more.
LOL, we will give him a pass because he's Canadian. 😂
US National Parks are indeed incredibly beautiful! Gonna look forward to thursdays for the next 3 years! By the way, the soundtrack at the beginning fits perfectly Mr. Ocean ;D
Haha, I was actually watching Ocean's 12 when I was editing this. True story! 😃
I went to Bryce Canyon last year about a month before you did and it was breath-taking. I felt like I was on another planet and it was amazing. If you ever go back and need a great lunch spot, I highly recommend idk bbq in Tropic, UT (which is about a 13 min drive away). It was honestly great food and a very pleasant surprise. 😊
Amazing! Nice video, but very short.
"Any man in a locker room would be proud to have just half of this thing" : immediately takes bite😬
Dope video man! I went to Bryce Canyon a few days ago! Awesome place !
I appreciate it! I'd love to get back when there's snow! 👊
@@GarethLeonard You should it awesome! I did a video when I was there you can check in out on my channel. I subscribed to yours. Good luck with everything. peace!
went here in january, Utah is the coolest state in america by far
😍
Great videos!!! I'm going to Utah next week, and I can't wait...Do you need to reserve in advance to get into the national parks, as we experienced last summer in Colorado? Keep the cool videos coming our way!!! 😉
Some day ill get there
Hi from Moscow. Cool trip!
Cheers! I love Moscow!
I want to go!!!!!
Do you have any hiking shoes?
It's funny you mention "Transformers" when you were in Valley of Fire because they did film a chase scene there for one of the films of that franchise!!!
Lol that unit!!!
Would you just look at it! 👀 LOL
@@GarethLeonard LOL, always! 😉
Hi Gareth been a long time that you don’t have videos, was wondering what happened to you... I thought you stop vlogging..... nice to see your videos again 👍👍👍🖐✌️🙏
Thanks Pia! I took a long break to recharge and refocus. Also, I spent 3 months developing my first travel course. It's great to be back! 😃
i had been to Bryce Canyon in 2003
Driven from Canada to visit park on July 2014 and walked through until get too hot but worthy.
Gareth come to Dinosaur park near Brooks in Alberta, Canada. Also great place to walk in undisturbed wilderness.
Hiking Zion and Bryce for 5 days the first week in April!
Enjoy!! ❤️
hello, I'm from Buryatia, come again, the residents are waiting for you)
Hopefully as soon as the pandemic is over, I will be back! 😃
Love the footage, when was this? I wish you would say the outside temp
🥰🥰😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video! Why did you fly from SD-LV? Was it cheaper than driving? Was it to save time?
I drove to the Grand Canyon from my home and it took 12 hours but was totally worth it. I didn't get to stop by Bryce, but it is definitely on my list of places to go to. Can't wait to see where next weeks video takes you!
Yep, we wanted to save time and rent a car in Las Vegas. I need to explore the Grand Canyon more myself, I have only been to the Horseshoe Bend.
Excellent video! I’m heading there in less then 2 weeks. When did you film this? Trying to figure out what the temperatures will be
We actually filmed this in October, however, National Park filming regulations did not allow me to post this until now.
im sad i lost the lottery to The Wave online, its tough.
We also have capriotti's in chicago, its soo good!
Great video! Wish you and Mike come back to Russia! There is still soo much to see there))
We were actually planning out it before this stupid pandemic, haha. We will definitely be back when the world opens back up. It looks like the Kamchatka Peninsula will be next 😀
@@GarethLeonard After Kamchatka do not forget to visit Republic of Sakha, the coldest republic in the world :)
Hello from algeria
I’ve been there to my 10 years anniversary
How did you afford to travel when you first got started? What were you doing for work prior ?
Hello Gareth o wish i can join your oms of your trips hehe just kidding but if you take it seriously its fine. Hahaha..woooh footllong yumyum! -tin
That's a bummer that the Wave lottery didn't work out. Bryce was a solid backup plan!
Most definitely! The chances of hitting The Wave were so slim, but that's the beauty of this region - there is so much close by!
What camera are you using for still shots?
Hi man i'm brahim from algeria
You should visit algeria
Trust me you gonna love it
I would love to!
Does the tunnel close on the East side of Zion?
Awesome video, and sucks that you didn’t get the Lott for the wave 😔. I have a question, I’m heading to Bryce Canyon in may , are you allowed to film / record on the trails, let’s say using your GoPro on the trails , I hear you can get fined?
Again awesome video 👍🏻👌🏻
I have been speaking with a number of national parks officially about this before I posted the video, and as of right now, a judge has deemed it legal to film in national parks without a permit - this may change on appeal however. Right now, it IS legal.
@@GarethLeonard awesome, thanks for all the info. Really appreciate it 😁🙌🏻
My sister got married here at dusk, it was beautiful.
Any spots in Bryce you wanted to see but didn’t end up making?
I’ve done Zion multiple times and am doing a solo Utah 5 this Tuesday.
I’m planning a 3-4am angels landing hike, knock that out then head to Bryce to hike for the rest of the day + vista points. All before heading out and boondocking as i get towards Capitol reef!
What kind of camera do you guys use ?
How far from the visitor center to the beginning of angels landing
The video is posted a few weeks ago but I am wondering when did you visit Bryce and Zion?... because I don't see any winter snow in Bryce.
We did this trip in October, but National Park regulations have only made it eligible to post now. 👍
What all did you download for the Zion shuttle ?
We didn't download anything, you can just go to their website and book 24 hours in advance. 👍
How long was the drive 🚗
What time of year did you visit?
Next time just fly into St. George.
Than we would miss all of the road trip fun 😃
Nice Gareth: You’re not from these parts that’s okay...
LOL, he gets a pass!
You’re right
Come back to Russia please ❤️❤️❤️
As soon as the pandemic is over, I will be back! 🙏
That's not right. Is 16 spots or 4 groups(Won't have to be more than 16 people in the 4 groups) however comes first. Highly recommended to at least have group of 4 people. If only 1 or 2 people want to apply they can always partner up with somebody for more chances.
That is incorrect. It is 10 spots now.
Whoop whoop!...you drove thru my town! I think I was one of the people that suggested Valley of Fire to you!!! There’s also Red Rock Canyon, next time? And...I love Cappriottis!! Glad you enjoyed Valley of Fire. Didn’t you say you had to use a filter to tone it down because it was so red that it looked fake??? Bryce Canyon is one of my favorite parks too!! Anyway...hope you check out and sub to my channel too “OffTheStrip”
Heyooo! I still have so much more to explore in the area... and more massive subs to try! 😆
Valley of Fires is insane! I appreciate the heads up! 👊 Already subscribed!
