    Thank you SO much for presenting your content in a quiet almost spiritual way. Most channels are screaming and talking so fast, camera darting everywhere… this was perfect for presenting the natural beauty and mood.

      Thank you so very much! I imagine our style of filming and editing isn't everyone's cup of tea but we try to be a bit different and provide a calmer alternative in our explorations and adventures. Though we do have a tendency for silliness here and there too. 😅

    Good memories. My dad took my brother and me to the Catwalk when were very young. It had to be in the early 1960s, so perhaps it was the old trail. The Catwalk seemed new and sparkly at the time though. I remember being a little scared of the heights but pressed on.
    Lucky you to see all those butterflies!

    • @CactusAtlas

    A very nice place to cool off in the shade. Interesting history of the place with the cat walk becoming a permanent walkways after being involved in mining era. Never knew this existed before. It looks like such a peaceful place and the sounds of babbling water and soft peaceful music. Well done.

    Went there as a kid and saw bighorn sheep looking down at me. Idk if they are still found in the area or if they have been extirpated but it was a magical experience at the time. Like seeing a unicorn. There are also more secluded sections that have been eroded or broken off by rockslides that you have to climb through. It’s probably not the safest but I did it. Magical area.

    • @CactusAtlas

Funny you mention Bandelier... our friend, Swifty Travels (ruclips.net/user/SwiftyTravels), just went there and her video on it was this week. Definitely looks like an amazing place & if any place was to be a catalyst for moving, I can see why that would be! 😄

      I wish I did. That was the first and last time I explored that area (which is high on my list to return to, especially to camp). But alas, that trip was a quick overnighter and I stayed at a small rental place that I am not sure the status of in 2024. Maybe another viewer will see this and help!

    One thing to keep in mind is the first bit of the trail is blacktop and VERY hard on dog pads in the summer.
