Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out my previous visit to this park if you want to see something on the opposite end of the hiking spectrum: ruclips.net/video/biUSyS84qd4/видео.html
I just looked at my wife as we are watching and we both said your videos are great... Then I said " he seems like a nice young man", then I started cracking up realizing I am old enough to call you a nice young man... Life's a trip...
Every Saturday, I make breakfast, sit on the couch, and catch up with my You Tubers. SuvRVing is always the FIRST channel I watch. This is my favorite! Thanks for all you do, Tristan!
I love the content balance your videos have. Scenery, sightseeing, hiking, history. Sometimes easy hikes most people can do, sometimes more adventurous, sometimes backpacking, sometimes "car/SUV" camping. Your appreciation of the history of what you see and how people once lived in these areas and your relaxed and informative style of narration are major reasons I watch your channel.
I love that a few months ago I searched "rav 4 camping" to get some ideas about camping in my new rav 4. Now I've found one of the best channels for arm chair travelling. Thanks Tristan!
Capital Reef rocks. I spent a week there last year with my best friend. So excellent. We hiked the Muley Twist Canyon and many other places. Almost NO people about. It was slightly surreal for a National Park experience.
Your camp at the old chimney was the trailhead for Old Woman Wash lollipop. It’s actually quite spectacular, has a couple of pictographs (one is large and really cool), and if you think CRNP is quiet! My wife and I hiked it last Halloween weekend and didn’t see another soul the whole day.
I hiked Capital Reef in September 1997, visited the tiny schoolhouse and picked apples in one of the orchards. Hiked the Hickman bridge trail but didn't go to the bridge but continued on to Navajo Knobs. Climbed to the top of the highest Navajo sandstone knob for the most amazing views West. Such a quite trail beyond Hickman.
What always strikes me is the climatic conditions that deposited “All” of that sandstone - upon sandstone - upon sandstone. Drives home the fact that this Earth we are given the privilege to live on: has gone through many-many-many environmental changes. As it will continue to do. I love the Geological record. Thank you 🏜 for being such a show off.. 👍 Thank you for your content.
You are so right about Capitol Reef - less crowded and plenty to see! I really got a kick out of the holes in the rock you pointed out or Swiss Cheese; I've seen a lot of similar erosion especially along Escalante River. Your hikes really give people a view of the wonders of Utah; your take on up close things of interest combined with long vistas is ideal. I agree with many of your viewers that your unique combination of sights and commentary is close to perfect.
When you got to the "tanks" and you showed us that the trail pretty much ends there, but then you pointed above and beyond that endpoint, I felt the familiar urge I always get, wanting to know "what lies beyond?" Sure enough, 5 seconds later in yr video, you had gone ahead and hiked "beyond," and I found myself chuckling, "god, he's just like me; can't be satisfied with an endpoint -- gotta go see what more there is"! 😆 And strawberry-rhubarb pie is always a winning choice!
What a beautiful park. I have it in my list. That list is getting longer. We’ve been planning Utah/Colorado/Arizona for awhile now. Can’t get across the damn border. Lol. Hopefully soon. That pie looked awesome. A favourite around here. Thanks for sharing all the beauty of this video. 🤓🇨🇦
@@SUVRVing Now that I think about it I really should have said thank you for adding the driving and camping footage. I'll admit I don't have good social skills.
Love the channel! I'll be going through Utah in a couple of months and i've learned so much from watching it. So glad to see that you're getting the recognition you deserve!
Thanks Tristan...I enjoy seeing the pioneer registers. I believe they have nearly as much significance as native rock art. In my mind they're a testament of fortitude and endurance.
Capital Reef is indeed a great park... Bach in the mid 1970’s I drove the Burr Trail from Bullfrog to Boulder in an old Chevy station wagon... A dirt road all the way and forded a couple of streams with a wife and 3 kids... It was a great trip and we encountered nobody the entire distance... It was not designated as a national park back then... We stopped and had ate lunch along a creek near Boulder... I just love Utah and have recently stayed in Teasdale and love the whole state...
Those may have been the most diverse and interesting petroglyphs that I have ever seen, video or otherwise! Very cool! I've always wondered about the meanings of them all! And the backstory to their creation. I guess many remain a mystery to this day. My Grandmother made THE BEST strawberry rhubarb ever! Hands down the best that I have ever had and I try it everywhere that sells it! I very much wish that I had her recipe! And the secret that never gets written down! 😅 She was born in 1880 and I swear secret recipe tips were guarded more heavily than any national secret 😂
Another great video! Brought back memories from 20 years ago. The love of nature and your knowledge of each area keeps me waiting for another one. (Note: you must be a very decent guy).
Thirty years ago I stopped and picked apples on the north side of the highway and baked a pie in the campground. The Burr/Nottum trail that crosses the park is one of my favorite drives going through Capitol Reef. Hope to explore the northern part of the park north of 24 soon.
this is, actually, my favorite of the National Parks. I found it to be stunning, especially when the colors changed to pastels on the rocks, with the rain and the ever-changing light. I was there in the month of May, and what a difference in color! Thanks for taking us along the trails and back-country that some of us can't get to ... it's much appreciated! 😄
Nice job in sharing the park. Lots more hikes for you to explore. Brought back some fond memories as you were doing the Cohab trail. Frying Pan to Cassidy Arch is one of my favorites.😀
We love to explore chill, relaxed places with fewer crowds! Great views, petroglyphs were very cool, thanks for bringing us all along 😉 Exploring Utah is definitely on my list.
By far the best channel on RUclips! Thanks for sharing. As my boyfriend and I watched your video we gasped when you talked about Fruita. We've been there three times already (mainly because of the strawberry rhubarb pie--my fave!). Looking forward to more videos. Stay safe!
Hi Tristan, another good video! A Microwave! I've been too busy the last few months to watch any videos, I've got some catching up to do. Thanks Tristan.
Hi Tristan, as usual, another good video! A Microwave, wow, have I got some catching up to do! I've been too busy to watch videos the last few months, preparing for my trip from S. Florida to Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier areas. I'm formally "little dog old man hog", changed it to something a little more positive. Watching one of your videos after months without was like seeing a good friend again after an absence. Thanks Tristan 😊
Loved the video! We just finished a trip to Capitol Reef National Park today. While we only spent a short time in the park itself, we did the Cathedral Valley loop, went to Factory Butte and even the Skyline overlook - all inspired by your videos, thank you so much!
I took my mom and my aunt from Germany there around 1994 and when we got to Fruita area the apricots were ripe so we picked a couple pounds and paid very little. They were so good I gorged myself to the point I almost felt sick. We really enjoyed the Capitol Reef experience. Good one today! Thanks.
I was there a month ago. We skipped the tracks because the kids were done. Nice to know that we didn't miss much. Hickman arch was awesome and a great hike.
There was a great Mexican restaurant named Diablo in Tory, the town by the park. It has been closed since the pandemic. A guy from Detroit loved the park so much that he opened the restaurant and lived there.
Cool! Thank you. I’m definitely going here, I prefer this to a bigger park. I just want to stare at everything and take a month doing it. This park looks stunning. Your videos help me very much. 👍 Going out the end of Feb 2o22. coming from NEw York State. Finishing my reflectix now, my bed and simple setup going well in my Subaru Outback. Nervous nervous nervous.. but excited excited excited. 😆 Thanks for your help, your videos keep me focused. 🙏
Another good one Tristan. Nice to see you visit Capital Reef and promote getting out there. Right now I am focusing on Utah in particular those within an easy drive from Moab. I am at Ken's Lake.. so La Sal loop is first on the list when I get a day off.
Loved the quietness of this park. Spent the evening before making the hike in arches to delicate arch. So many people even as the sun set. The next evening we hiked to Cassidy arch in Capitol reef. The two hikes are similar in length and elevation change. But at Cassidy arch you could explore and enjoy without crowds. I think we saw 4 pairs of hikers that evening. Oh, and we got extra pies and would up eating one a day later for breakfast in Idaho
We are from Ohio, and went to Utah and visited their Natl. Parks a few years back and one is more beautiful than the next. Hope you can go some day. Enjoy!
We're at Capitol Reef right now. It's the most relaxed of all of the Utah National Parks except maybe Canyonlands. It's peaceful here. Not nearly as crowded as other parks and there's some great boondocking here too. Bryce Canyon has some great boondocking areas as well.
Greetings from Oregon brother I rode my motorcycle to this park in 2017 when I retired made 7 states and 4000 miles was gone a month I told my family I was going for a couple of weeks I just kept going freaking awesome trip I always looking forward to your notification s keep on trucking brother 😀
I love that area of UT and the 4 corners area. It's so beautiful, I can't get enough. But I've never been to Capitol Reef, after watching your video I put it on my travel list for next March. Thanks for an excellent trip
I was at CR 4 months ago and hiked the same trail. The tanks I saw were much deeper and more sheltered from the elements, and one had a small arch above it. I think they were farther down towards the gorge from the ones shown on here. They both had quite a bit of water in them. 9 months ago, maybe not. On my way up, missed one of the cairns so ended up off trail and at the bottom of one of the peaks shown in the video, aimlessly trying to find the tanks. Had to backtrack and eventually found where I got off trail.
Another great video. When I completed thru hiking the Arizona Trail I was amazed at how different Utah was. I will definitely spend time their after seeing your great tours. Thank you!
How cool one of your viewers got to meet you out there. Thanks for the history and tour, it is a wonderful National Park. I've been there but it was middle of July and just too hot to do much.
My favorite Utah National Park! I did the Cohab hike and was fortunate to see a few desert bighorns looking down on me from the rim. I also turned right on the Frying Pan trail over to Cassedy Arch. Fortunately I had someone to pick me up. Your video brought back great memories!
Love watching your videos. I lived in Moab in the mid 70's, definitely more commercialized than then. Trails are maintained rather well and I wouldn't mind trying a hike or two in southern Utah again. The desert and canyon lands are absolutely the favorite parts of my life. thanks for the memories!
The fireplace at the end reminded me of an incinerator. Growing up in the 50's everyone had one in their backyard and it's where you burned all your paper trash. They were mostly banned in the mid to late 60's when environmental air quality issues became important.
Dang - I just missed you at Capital Reef NP! I visited there during the last week of March maybe a week or two after your were there. It was my first visit there, and I was inspired in part from an earlier video of yours when you visited a more remote part of this park. While I did a little SUVrving in my Ford Escape, I cheated and stayed mostly in hotels. The Fruita area was much busier during this spring break week, and I made it a point to get to the Cassidy Arch trailhead early in the morning to beat the crowd. I was the first person up to the arch that morning on this busy trail and had this popular trail and arch to myself until my descent... not bad for a 60 year old geezer. Like you, I would much rather hike alone or with very few others. Your campsite was very near another hike I took later in the day to Wild Horse window, another interesting hike. As I drove through this part of Utah. I kept looking down little gravel roads in the area thinking about your earlier video series in this area and the hidden locations you had visited. Thanks for the inspiration and travel ideas - it was a great spring break trip.
Brings back great memories, thank you. Few roads many trails in the back country left unvisited😀. For me when I think of CR it’s all about geology and sandstone. I think it’s a water pocket that highlights the area. Anyhow it’s very desert ish and beautiful. Great job once again. Remember it’s you that makes this vlog great. You can get a park film at the visitors center if you are having sleeping issues. Ever been to British Columbia? WOW
Fantastic video Tristan! Can't go wrong with pie(s), but not sampling the cinnamon rolls would be a shame. Do we need to take up a collection for a cracked windshield repair? ;-)
Believe me, I would have gotten a cinnamon roll if they'd been available, but they were all out. And the windshield... It's just not a priority for me! There's a lot of other stuff I'd rather do with $200.
What an interesting place to visit! Our family loved camping in the NP's of Utah. But never went to Capital Reef ...FRUITA..soooo many fruit trees growing in an area that looks tooo dry to support fruit trees!!! Thanks again for your excellent videos...They are the best of all of them.
What a beautiful place!!! Your videos are so excellent I can't even explain why, so many details, like you walking towards the camera, then from left to right and then going away, all in a very clever succession, reminded me of so many good movies that used great camera points of view. Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos, really appreciated it!!!
I was at Capitol Reef in mid-April, after having missed it two years ago. I’m very glad I skipped Zion and Bryce to see it this time. If southern Utah is like another planet, then Capitol Reef is where they film sci-fi shows.
wow....Capitol Reef is so pretty.....can’t believe I have been in Utah several times but never went....next time I am there, I will definitely do so. Great vid, Tristan...as usual. Have a nice week
Enjoy watching your videos. I'm from New England, and don't know when the planets will align so that I can explore the West, but this is certainly the next best thing. Thank you, Tristan.
You are so right, so much underated park, but I hope it will be like this a long time again. Love this park. Can t wait to be back again and discover the cathedral area
Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy them. We love capital reef when we were there a couple of years ago. No 20 mile hikes for us though, that might about kill us LOL
I enjoy the area, and the campground is decent and had a good sight when waking up in the morning with the sun on the red/orange rock. Unfortunately the drought we've had in our area the past 20+ years has taken it's toll. Hard to find water in tanks in a lot of areas. Not far from Capital Reef NP is the area on the highway where you drive through the grey barren landscape with no vegetation. It always makes me feel like I'm driving on the moon.
Was in Capitol Reef last summer and loved it. Did the Sulphur Creek hike. Capitol Reef's version of the Zion Narrows with about 1/1000 of the crowds. One of my favorite hikes ever
@@SUVRVing Just now watched it. That was great! I started the hike with the 3 mile road walk first...just to get it out of the way. When I did it in August...that water felt great! I was curious about one thing...when I went there was a pretty deep pool I had to swim through between the 2d and 3d waterfall (I believe). Did you do that or did you somehow climb around it?
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out my previous visit to this park if you want to see something on the opposite end of the hiking spectrum: ruclips.net/video/biUSyS84qd4/видео.html

Lol I'm definitely not as young as I used to be. I thought the same thing about some of the younger RUclipsrs I watch!
Thanks for the shout-out. Enjoyed the conversation over pie!
There aren't much better ways to have a conversation than over pie! It was great meeting you and chatting. Hope the rest of your trip went well 👍

Love that park as well. Fremont River is a blessing in the peak of summer. You’re correct, CR is a no stress park.
Love your demeanor and knowledge... Been subscribed for a bit... God bless you and keep making great videos please!
Thank you, I appreciate that!

We're in your neighborhood. Love Utah! Breathtaking. Just left Moab. Was in Monument Valley before. Dead Horse Point was stunning! 👍
We love Capitol Reef! Crazy dark and an awesome place for Milky Way filming. Going there in June.
When you got to the "tanks" and you showed us that the trail pretty much ends there, but then you pointed above and beyond that endpoint, I felt the familiar urge I always get, wanting to know "what lies beyond?"
Sure enough, 5 seconds later in yr video, you had gone ahead and hiked "beyond," and I found myself chuckling, "god, he's just like me; can't be satisfied with an endpoint -- gotta go see what more there is"! 😆
And strawberry-rhubarb pie is always a winning choice!
We both said radioactive bats at the exact time you did! Husband and I just looked at each other and laughed. Too funny!
Rain for those tanks for the animals & birds to drink some fresher water. Interesting place. Will keep this in mind for a place to travel to.
What a beautiful park. I have it in my list. That list is getting longer. We’ve been planning Utah/Colorado/Arizona for awhile now. Can’t get across the damn border. Lol. Hopefully soon. That pie looked awesome. A favourite around here. Thanks for sharing all the beauty of this video. 🤓🇨🇦
It's always nice so see a clip of you in the back of your car / driving your car. It gives viewers a glimpse of your life on the road.
I am making a conscious effort to do more of that. Thanks for watching!
@@SUVRVing Now that I think about it I really should have said thank you for adding the driving and camping footage. I'll admit I don't have good social skills.
Love the channel! I'll be going through Utah in a couple of months and i've learned so much from watching it. So glad to see that you're getting the recognition you deserve!
Thanks for watching!
Very educated speaker. Fantastic videos, reflects lots of thinking and iterations! Thank You!! Better than any travel show on mass media.
Thanks Tristan...I enjoy seeing the pioneer registers. I believe they have nearly as much significance as native rock art. In my mind they're a testament of fortitude and endurance.
They are a must-see in the park, for sure. Thanks Daniel!
Just starting my day....thanks for the tour.....ever enjoy your videos......nothing quite like great pie....thanks..
Capital Reef is indeed a great park...
Bach in the mid 1970’s I drove the Burr Trail from Bullfrog to Boulder in an old Chevy station wagon...
A dirt road all the way and forded a couple of streams with a wife and 3 kids...
It was a great trip and we encountered nobody the entire distance...
It was not designated as a national park back then...
We stopped and had ate lunch along a creek near Boulder...
I just love Utah and have recently stayed in Teasdale and love the whole state...
Those may have been the most diverse and interesting petroglyphs that I have ever seen, video or otherwise! Very cool! I've always wondered about the meanings of them all! And the backstory to their creation. I guess many remain a mystery to this day.

My absolute favorite park. Fours hours from SLC. The perfect after work Friday to Sunday getaway.
Nice job in sharing the park. Lots more hikes for you to explore. Brought back some fond memories as you were doing the Cohab trail. Frying Pan to Cassidy Arch is one of my favorites.😀
Must agree...love Capital Reef..beautiful and low key especially at sundown .

Going here in June for the first time. This video has me hyped.
once again it is me I like your hike which very educational looking this hike very interestingly thank you from Czech Republic. Gaglani.
I was here a couple of months after you. It made me determined to come back some time when I have more time (and don't have a dog with me)

As usually you never fail to film nature’s beauty at it’s finest. Thnx 🙋🏻♀️
Thanks- This is SOooo BEAUTIFUL! I cant go there anymore due to health etc. Its truly healing to be able to see the Red Rock Canyons again...
We were there in the fall one year and the park was selling fruit from the trees in Fruita. It was nice to see it not going to waste. Nancy

Agreed! Thanks for watching.
I just noticed your almost at 100k sub.👍
Yep, getting close!
Love that you take the time to find out some of the history in these magnificent places and to share it with us. Thanks for another excellent video.

Brings back great memories, thank you. Few roads many trails in the back country left unvisited😀. For me when I think of CR it’s all about geology and sandstone. I think it’s a water pocket that highlights the area. Anyhow it’s very desert ish and beautiful. Great job once again. Remember it’s you that makes this vlog great. You can get a park film at the visitors center if you are having sleeping issues. Ever been to British Columbia? WOW
I love the campground it's hilarious how domesticated the deer are!
Fantastic video Tristan! Can't go wrong with pie(s), but not sampling the cinnamon rolls would be a shame. Do we need to take up a collection for a cracked windshield repair? ;-)
Believe me, I would have gotten a cinnamon roll if they'd been available, but they were all out. And the windshield... It's just not a priority for me! There's a lot of other stuff I'd rather do with $200.
What an interesting place to visit! Our family loved camping in the NP's of Utah. But never went to Capital Reef ...FRUITA..soooo many fruit trees growing in an area that looks tooo dry to support fruit trees!!! Thanks again for your excellent videos...They are the best of all of them.
What a beautiful place!!! Your videos are so excellent I can't even explain why, so many details, like you walking towards the camera, then from left to right and then going away, all in a very clever succession, reminded me of so many good movies that used great camera points of view. Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos, really appreciated it!!!
I'm a new subscriber and I just love your videos. So informative and uplifting and enjoyable.
This was great! We were in that same area about 8 years ago and totally agree that is a nice area to avoid crowds. Glad you got to meet a fan!
I was at Capitol Reef in mid-April, after having missed it two years ago. I’m very glad I skipped Zion and Bryce to see it this time. If southern Utah is like another planet, then Capitol Reef is where they film sci-fi shows.
Strawberry rhubarb pies are my all time favorite.
wow....Capitol Reef is so pretty.....can’t believe I have been in Utah several times but never went....next time I am there, I will definitely do so. Great vid, Tristan...as usual. Have a nice week
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, yes please!
I should have bought more to eat on the rest of the trip ☹️
Me too! It was the most empty shelf. Hahaha, we are not alone.
Their strawberry rhubarb jam is also quite good.
Thanks for taking me on a hike. It was lovely there.
Enjoy watching your videos. I'm from New England, and don't know when the planets will align so that I can explore the West, but this is certainly the next best thing. Thank you, Tristan.
Tristan! Thank you for the helpful videos. They have been great for some of the recent trips I have gone on.
I like Capitol Reef NP! I’d like for you to climb those two white Done-like rocks in the park!❤️😀🇺🇸🌏🚙
I always enjoy your blog and I hit the like button every time.
Thanks David!
Excellent, tour and information thanks a lot, we will definitely explore Capitol reef Nation park. 👍👍
You are so right, so much underated park, but I hope it will be like this a long time again. Love this park. Can t wait to be back again and discover the cathedral area
Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy them. We love capital reef when we were there a couple of years ago. No 20 mile hikes for us though, that might about kill us LOL
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this unbelievable landscape and views. That pie looked delicious too. :) Take care.
I'm still thinking about that pie!
Tristin, the pie looked deeelish! great video! will definitely add Capitol Reef to the bucket list!
JUST found your channel !!
SIMPLY OUTSTANDING Sir !!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
Tristan I so enjoy your videos! You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for sharing all your adventures!
Thanks for watching, Denise!
I enjoy the area, and the campground is decent and had a good sight when waking up in the morning with the sun on the red/orange rock. Unfortunately the drought we've had in our area the past 20+ years has taken it's toll. Hard to find water in tanks in a lot of areas.
Not far from Capital Reef NP is the area on the highway where you drive through the grey barren landscape with no vegetation. It always makes me feel like I'm driving on the moon.
I agree, that gray barren landscape is really unique and interesting! Thanks for watching.
Radioactive ☢️ Bats 🦇.....its 2021, seems legit 😂
Lol!
Had our fill of pies last week. Had to bring some back for the journey home. Chimney rock was our favorite hike.
I've heard good things about that hike, but I haven't done it yet. Next time, for sure!
This is our favorite national park! Thanks for sharing your video.
Was in Capitol Reef last summer and loved it. Did the Sulphur Creek hike. Capitol Reef's version of the Zion Narrows with about 1/1000 of the crowds. One of my favorite hikes ever
Sulphur Creek is a great hike! Here's my video of it: ruclips.net/video/IG9DQbFGJes/видео.html
@@SUVRVing Just now watched it. That was great! I started the hike with the 3 mile road walk first...just to get it out of the way. When I did it in August...that water felt great! I was curious about one thing...when I went there was a pretty deep pool I had to swim through between the 2d and 3d waterfall (I believe). Did you do that or did you somehow climb around it?
