    • @popshiking
      @popshiking  7 месяцев назад +2

      @mamaebbie7326 It’s encouraging to me to find that there are many hikes that are accessible in whole or in part. Josh made the decision to comment on them especially for folks like your daughter.

    We did something similar in nearby Glen Canyon/Horseshoe Bend. That is an area we need to revisit. Rainbow Bridge, the Vermillion Cliffs, the Wave, White Pocket, etc. Also, a little birdie told me you may have edited this whole thing. Great job and thanks for taking us along for the ride.

    I was thinking at first that you guys actually rented a boat to do this. They had stopped doing boat tours out there for a while because of the low water levels. I'm glad you made this video because I didn't know they were doing them again. I still haven't been out there yet, and it's been on my bucket list for a while. Thanks for sharing this pops!

    What an incredibly beautiful place. I taught environmental education for 26 yeas and was always impressed with the fact that nature will heal itself and return to its natural state if given the chance as you pointed out the vegetation at the arch. Powerful stuff. Look forward to visiting someday. Thanks Pops for sharing and much love yo you
