Grand Canyon Campground and Desert View

- This video will share our two days camped out in Grand Canyon inside the Trailer Village and the unexpected snow fall that we got each day. While it made for a beautiful scene, it was still a bit too cold for us but we made the best of our time and had a lot of fun. On our check out day we drove down to the east end of the park to the Desert View to see that area before moving on to our next destination. #grandcanyon #grandcanyontrailervillage #abomadventures

You two provide the best commentary! Thanks for sharing your journeys.
At one time, we traveled as you do but had to stop due to work constraints. Now, retired, we have that freedom again. Due to videos such as yours, we have started up again, going where the wind blows. Thank you for the inspiration.
To a Floridian, that must have looked like a blizzard. To us in the frozen north, we wouldn't even brushed it off the windshield.
Oh hey, first!
Nice RUclips video. Pretty place
Pretty footage ❤😊
Winter definitely ain’t over just yet, we had a little snow here in the cascades of WA last night. ☃️
Probably too late, but if you drive through Cameron Arizona and stop at the Trading Post, there is a restaurant in the back where Abby can get her Navajo taco. You may not make it out though without spending more money because it is also a gift shop with a bunch of authentic Native American crafts
What an amazing experience ... What an amazing creation nature has made for us !!
Thanks guys, I can now cross off the Grand Canyon visit off my Bucket List. Through you camera liens, was awesome :-). old Bear in Tx.
Happy you made it out safely and finished your stamp collection for the area.
What a sports fan Your a lucky man
I see that Floridians have the same attitude to snow as the English, 1" of snow and the world stops, unlike some places - 3 foot of snow, business as usual. but when we do see it its beautiful. best thing for clearing snow off the car when its powdery is a small hand brush, just sweep it off the car.
not as bad as the 2 + feet we got here in northern Nevada a few months back!!! but its Nice!!!!
Love following you guys' travels!
Awesome thanks for sharing
Hi Adam and Abby, don’t worry about the people at the food places just go for the adventure and better yet park close by and show’em how it’s done with your beautiful BBQ skills, that being said try to avoid the plastic when your cooking, to many nasty things come out of plastic especially when you heat it, if you store a simple tub you can throw soap and water in could wash crockpot outside and throw water out so your not messing or using water inside camper, sorry I wasn’t able to come down, father not great and mother had a stroke so been taking care of her which main reason wasn’t able to now, so stick close to your family and forget about the annoyances because not here forever, like the song goes “ we’re here for a good time not a long time”,
All The Best

I love a good Cuban sammich. We have had a few instances of snow in the past few days here in SW MI, but the ground is already warm enough so that it didn't stick. We've had snow in May here before. I was working outside during the pandemic in the month of May and in about a 10-minute span, it rained, it sleeted, it snowed, and the the sun came out.
Good thing you updated your propane tanks.
I live in SE Idaho, this has been something of a difficult winter for the Western part of the US. Just be glad you weren't in the Lake Tahoe area of CA... We had a small snow here this morning.
❤ I seen a lot of RUclipsrs go to Grand canyon filming but some reason yours was so much better pictures of the canyon great job
My 1st year as a rookie driving over the road in 18-wheeler, I bet my * chewed a hole in the seat. Coming down the Golden Highway the first time, I didn't feel golden.
☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️🇳🇱🍀
That's more snow than we had all this winter, here in central NJ.
The high elevation there relegates you to a higher chance of snow and cold weather in March.
Grand Canyon Village is at 8000 feet--altitude counts in March, doesn't it? I did some work with the park staff several years ago and was there in January. Yup, 8 inches of snow during the day. I'm surprised they plowed the road--they are usually pretty light about plowing in the park. But when you leave the park, the roads are usually cleaned up. We were able to drive back to Phoenix that evening without any issue at all. I totally get the notion of TOO. MANY. PEOPLE. Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Zion...all intolerable in high season. But if you think it was bad in March, try June or late August when it's really crowded 😀
We have woken up to the same conditions when we were there in March of 2019.
Snow was gone when we went south to the interstate.
Yep it was just in the higher elevations.
Would love if you guys would do a “porch talk” video wrap-up at the end of each “Big Haul” to discuss your feelings on the trip. For example, name the campgrounds at which you stayed, which did you like and which did you not. What would you have done differently and what went according to plan. We have the same rig as you guys, both truck and trailer, and we would love to plan some of our trips based on your experiences. Was it too early in the season for the trip as for the weather? Seems like you guys didn’t have the best weather and were unable to do a lot of the campground stuff you normally do like the cookouts etc. How was the trip as for the driving out and back? Were there plenty of amenities along the route while you were towing? How does this trip rank against the other Big Hauls? Seems like the crowds along your route were more than you bargained for. I hate crowds so I would love to hear your experiences. I know they are part of the National Park scene but I still don’t like it lol. You get the idea. I think you would have a ton of interest in a trip debrief if you will. Love the videos and look forward to them all! Abby: WhoDey! from the land of Fiona!
Yes we plan to do a big haul wrap up video to end the trip and do just that, discuss our thoughts on everything. 👍🏻
If you are still in the area, don't miss the Grand Canyon Caverns
You didn’t lie, Abby, you simply misspoke.
If your footprints expose the ground, then that’s a pretty light snow!
How about a wet snow.
I thought the snowplow was funny, not really sure what the point is with 2 inches of snow. Arizona is always beautiful when it snows.
Same point why they plow roads everywhere else when it snows. It’s safer.
@@AbomAdventures says the guy from Florida. No disrespect, but my point was with two inches in that climate it would melt by itself maybe 1-2 hours later…save the fuel. You also notice the plow left behind a layer of ice? That’s the part that’s dangerous, the snow actually has some “stickiness” to it.
They plow for the Florida drivers! 😊. The plow wasn’t even creating any piles on the side of the road. And I’m a lifelong So Cal resident who just spent my first winter in snow country AZ.
@@corydriver7634 With all the travelers, plowing makes sense because people may not be able to see where the road goes. Of course, one or two cars drive through it and you’d be able to see it.
Gotta say, this is my least favorite video of this series. Too much whining.
How did supper turn out? Sounded good.
Those crock pot meals are always so good. I've made that recipe countless times over the years.
@@AbomAdventures I’m sure you’ve said before, but what kind of bag did you use to line the crockpot? Great idea.
@@danshaw6759 they make those bags specific for crock pots. You can find them in the same section as where the oven roasting bags are. I think the brand we use is Reynolds.
Snowed in? 😂 You can tell Abom is from Florida.
If you are from the South that is Winter Death. Anyone up north would say "What snow?"
Years ago a cousin fron Oregon came to visit. It was 105°F. 100% humidity and absolutely no wind. She said she thought she was going to die. I hadn't even broken a sweat.
I guess it all depends on what you are accustomed to.
Mention the work "snow" and the jokes come out. Folks get used to the regions they're from. I like the snow but only as a visitor. I have interested in living in it. For us it was more about the cold than the snow, but I also had no intention of driving on icy roads.
@@AbomAdventures I would not have wanted to pull that camper in snow and ice either. You and Abby take care.
Had the same experience in the Canyon when we were there in 2018. We won’t return. The views are incredible but the accommodation and food options are over priced and under appetising
We'll always be happy to visit another national park but afterwards we will also know wether or not we'll be returning to that particular park. Next visits for us will be the North Rim and western side in the national monument.
@@AbomAdventures absolutely true guys, won’t stop us visiting parks in the USA even from here in Australia. 6 days to our USA adventure with Yellowstone on the 22nd. the North rim with its hotel and patio just looks incredible. Currently thinking that my son and I might do the 2 week Colorado dory or raft tour from the north that finishes in the canyon when he graduates in 2025. Bucket list stuff.
use a couple of ceramic electric heaters you already paid for the power don't waste your propane
More things to store, no thanks. We use our electric fireplace heater for warmth and the furnace at times when it’s needed. Furnace also warms the underbelly of the camper and keeps the water tanks and lines from freezing.
Better to Avoid 😨🫣
