The frogs were mating, not just piggy backing. 15 years ago when I did this trail, the waterfall was more to the left of where it is now. We had a shower stall like place we could stand under the falls.
You are an inspiration to all us women that would love to do solo hiking but still haven’t mustered the courage to do so. Great video and beautiful shots at the end. Take care!
Tip- As a solo female traveler you should always have multiple cans of bear spray for bad guys & bad critters. Keep one in your truck cab & one in the camper by door & another to use while hiking. Be safe & Happy Trails.
Beautiful scenery and excellent camera work, that four legged frog had me going there for a minute. Really a gorgeous place, Thank You for taking me along,🙏👍😎
We are grateful for your well chosen destinations, superb photography and editing.We can see things now that we never would have .Night animal noises seem amplified,the closer they get to the tent.if they press their nose on tent wall to catch your scent more deeply..,Yikes ! But waking up alive...it says it all. Again,a deep sincere thank you
I like how you make it plain as to where you were . That's the most important thing to know . Some videos have the location buried in the video . Nice to have that up front and even through the videos . God Bless
Wow Cat!, You have so many adventures for me to view and catch-up on!!! I think you would be happy on the Olympic Peninsula, say Sequim!?! So knowledgeable and easy to look at!!! A rare gem of a woman indeed!!!
great to see you back on the trail. I love Utah....normally Im not a desert person but I fell in love with the Canyon Lands a few years ago....great to see you back with new videos. Looking forward to this years travels...
Awesome, simply AWESOME! Watching your vid was a real pleasure. We are having a remodel done, and this video was such a great excursion from all that craziness around here. Thanks so much. Been really looking forward to your first hiking excursion. And the comments! What a hoot!! 😂😂😂 You were absolutely correct about how the temps can affect you. Especially when the body has not yet acclimated to them (normally early in the season). I had a hike very similar to yours and when temps hit upper 90’s 10 miles in, on a 12 mile hike back to my vehicle, it took everything I had to finish. Uphill, and even fluids didn’t help after a while. Learned a good lesson that day about late starts. Thanks again Catherine. Btw, excellent camera work too.
Thank you Anthony. I was definitely struggling in that heat. It surprised me really. I had to stop often whenever I did find a slice of shade to cool down from overheating. It honestly would have been better for me to have either left in the late afternoon the prior day or waited until it would have been early evening before tackling that stretch. I kept thinking how thankful I was it wasn't hot during my Grand Canyon trip this year. I'm not sure I would have made it.
Hello Cat from South Florida! I have a 1975 Airstream I've been renovating for the last year with hopes to get out there and see the country. What an inspiration your videos are. When I get weary working on the trailer I just watch one of these and I get fired up. Soon gonna do my first boondocks and then check out the North Florida springs and aquaphors. Thank you for the tips and photography.
great video, my husband and me we did it from crack in the wall and out on jacob hamblin arch. that was very exciting. the dangerous climbing out without a rope i never will do it
What a georgous landscape! The red rocks, this sweet shining green of spring, the blue sky, a lovely little river - I love this canyon. And so nicely edited. Thanks Catherine
Wonderful job capturing a gorgeous hike. Utah is truly spectacular, but yes it can be crazy hot. I was in Moab in August and it was like an oven, but still incredibly beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Happy adventures.
You should always bring a spray bottle of water with you to cool your face and arms, while you walk! This will cool your core temperature by a few degrees! Have been doing this for 30 years...Thank you for sharing your glorious trip!......God bless you Cat!.......
That was a great hike! Last month I camped a week at Arches National Park and went on many solo back packing hikes in the park. As you mentioned it is really good to get out into the nature and geology. Utah is my favorite destination since retiring.
Catherine, no I don’t know of any 1 to 2 day back packing hikes. The park service allows it, but has quite a few regulations. Including packing out all solid human waste, no fires, and bringing all water. It’s so dry there they don’t want humans taking water away from the critters. I stayed at the Devil’s Garden campground, the only one in the park and then went on day hikes in this park and over at nearby Canyonlands National Park. Good hikes in Arches are Devils Garden, Delicate Arch and Park Avenue. Over at Canyonlands I hiked the Grand View Trail which is easy but very scenic and the Upheaval Dome loop that has a easy and harder loop. Canyonlands does have the 100 mile White Rim 4x4 loop road that has primitive campsites and hiking trails. Overnight permits are extremely popular and limited. I did a three day trip on this trail a few years ago and it was one of best experiences I have ever had off-road.
Beautiful !!! As always you have done another great video with great scenery. I have been waiting for you to get set for your new life style and to take us through the country as you have done in the past in your other videos. You do a fantastic job.
Wow!! That was soo interesting and fun. I'm really going to enjoy these trips with you because I have infirmities that will prohibit me from doing them myself. Your photography and videography is amazing. Sure looking forward to the adventure😀 Be safe, Be blessed 😉☺💙🇺🇸❤
Thank you Donna. This is one of the reasons I love making these videos. For people who either can’t or won’t get to see these amazing places themselves. ❤️
Looks great! I'm doing this hike in October. Just did the Subway and the Wave . Subway permit was on the first try , but the Wave took 17 tries $$$. Havasupai is opening back up in 2023 - yay!
The picturesque beauty, harmonies of silence amidst flowing waters and softness of the breeze, the Arch as magnificent in it's splendour, all these wonders provide such magnificent experiences and you have captured each moment wonderfully. Thank you Catherine for such awesomeness 😊♥️
Excellent video Catherine! Solo backpacking will get easier and easier for you. A few years ago I was backpacking with my son and at breakfast I told him I had a dream the night before that I heard a large animal coming down the side of the mountain and as the animal got closer I could hear it breathing then the dream was over. My son said "dad that was not a dream I heard it too and it sounded like it was over by your tarp." You videos just keep getting better and better.
I hope to be the road full time in 3 to 5 years. I hope to be as Brave as you are on overnight hikes. I will be doing some more practicing on over nights in the tent by myself, well with my dogs, and longer hikes. Thanks for sharing you're wonderful adventures.
My God Cat that was beautiful, Really nice video! Only your 2nd solo but you can certainly handle it! I think this new lifestyle will suit you just fine! Also congrats on 10K subs, man your channel increased quickly!!! Thanks for the great video & can not wait for the next one!!! 👍👌
That's gorgeous country. I travel on my Harley so have to keep the bike close. Surprising the remote spots I can get to though. Love the solitude. Enjoy!!
Amazing thing is all that sandstone in those canyons has almost no fossils because it was put down in a desert, not underwater. Beautiful scenery Catherine, great hike.
great video. again. I've done some hiking and backpacking in my youth in California and seen many glorious sights but I've never been to a place with such dramatic and beautiful naturally-sculpted works of nature. thank you for letting me enjoy them just the same. you are very skilled at evoking the beauty and wonder of the natural world. be safe.
Wow Cat this is one of my favorite ones you have done. Great job. The views are amazing glad you are safe? Continue your amazing journey:) God bless you on your travels love and respect to you
Was just down there April, also on a solo trip. The mountains were still so snowy! It has been a very cool spring. Looking forward to visiting Davis Gulch next time. Many years ago I was there in CG with my daughter and we camped at the same campsite as you at Coyote Natural Bridge - and she practiced her Irish Dance on the beach there just down from the bridge. Thanks for the great trip video.
Great video Catherine. I was in that exact area last early October and spent a week there. I think your new lifestyle is perfect for ya. Looking forward to your next video.
The frogs were mating, not just piggy backing. 15 years ago when I did this trail, the waterfall was more to the left of where it is now. We had a shower stall like place we could stand under the falls.
I figured out they were mating eventually. lol
Gorgeous terrain, great scenery, and really nicely edited. Thanks for taking me along! Looking forward to the next hike!!
Thanks so much Gerard.
Thank you Cat for taking us along! Beautiful Scenery! Your editing abilities are top notch!!! .... Well Done!!!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely incredible scenery! Thank you for sharing! It makes me want to visit Utah.
Hello again. Thanks for sharing your experience. Another fantastic scenery area
You are an inspiration to all us women that would love to do solo hiking but still haven’t mustered the courage to do so. Great video and beautiful shots at the end. Take care!
Awe...thank you Haydee!! Choosing my solo trips wisely helps. Nothing too crazy. :)
Tip- As a solo female traveler you should always have multiple cans of bear spray for bad guys & bad critters. Keep one in your truck cab & one in
the camper by door & another to use while hiking. Be safe & Happy Trails.
Great advice. I'm concerned about Catherine as well.
I do have bear spray thank you. I didn't take it on this trip, but I did have pepper spray and a knife.
Beautiful scenery and excellent camera work, that four legged frog had me going there for a minute. Really a gorgeous place, Thank You for taking me along,🙏👍😎
Thank you, for taking us along on these gorgeous trips into America the beautiful!
Thanks Cat for sharing another amazing adventure. Glad you are having fun & doing what you love!
Thanks so much!
That was great! The effort you put into filming and editing was amazing so thank you.

Nice Megan! Great place for a first trip!!
I admire your sense of adventure and all that you accomplish! Looking forward to seeing your next trip.

A beautiful adventure. Those frogs should get a room!
😂😂😂😂
Glad to see you get out on the trails! Nice trip, good weather, many little friends. Thx for Sharing Catherine 🥂

I know!!! hahaaa. I thought I was seeing things. lol
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures You were. Frog porn lol.
I never got a chance to hike in Utah, so I am vicariously enjoying it's beauty thru your videos. Loved the wildlife and the unusual frogs. Thank you.
Thank you Pat! So glad you could come along.
Thanks for the trip to my old Utah home. Again...excellent videography.
Lovely! I love Escalante so much, we need to fight to keep it untouched. Oh by the way I think that was an Elk.
Whoop whoop! You are doing it girl! Awesome Blossom! The canyon wall walk away shot at 14:57 were gorgeous! Hike on!
Thank you so much Lori!
Definitely want to go there...thanks for taking us with you
Piggy back rides are how I ended up with 4 kids
Bwahahaaaaa!!! That's the best thing I've heard all day. lol
Hahahahaha,now that's a cute comment!
No more piggy back rides for you! lol
That's what his wife said!
Maybe u should slow down on piggy back rides. Lol.
Ur trips are awesome ,,,stay safe out there and enjoy
Thank you!
I like how you make it plain as to where you were . That's the most important thing to know . Some videos have the location buried in the video . Nice to have that up front and even through the videos . God Bless
Nicely done Catherine! The photography is outstanding and thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Pete!
I’m so jealous. What an amazing hike!
Beautiful.....peaceful.....quiet place. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Cat!, You have so many adventures for me to view and catch-up on!!! I think you would be happy on the Olympic Peninsula, say Sequim!?! So knowledgeable and easy to look at!!! A rare gem of a woman indeed!!!
great to see you back on the trail. I love Utah....normally Im not a desert person but I fell in love with the Canyon Lands a few years ago....great to see you back with new videos. Looking forward to this years travels...
I really love this kind of desert. Not so much our California desert. lol Thank you Randy!
Nice start to your new life of adventure, Catherine! Thanks of taking us along. Looking forward to the next adventure!
Thanks so much Mary Ann.

Thank you Anthony. I was definitely struggling in that heat. It surprised me really. I had to stop often whenever I did find a slice of shade to cool down from overheating.

Thank you so much Katherine you are the best 🤗🤗🤗
Krásný trek jako po ráji velmi hezké video přeji hodně krásných zážitku 🌞🌞🌞💚💚💚🏕🌟🌟🌟
What a beautiful area! Thanks for showing it to us. Can't wait to see what is up next.
Hello Cat from South Florida! I have a 1975 Airstream I've been renovating for the last year with hopes to get out there and see the country. What an inspiration your videos are. When I get weary working on the trailer I just watch one of these and I get fired up. Soon gonna do my first boondocks and then check out the North Florida springs and aquaphors.
Thank you for the tips and photography.
We did it during thanksgiving week nice weather and colors
Outstanding video. Thanks for sharing your adventures. What you are doing was me about 50 years ago. Sure do miss it!
Thank you Tom.
STUNNING!!!
Thanks for sharing and glad you made it safely.
great video, my husband and me we did it from crack in the wall and out on jacob hamblin arch. that was very exciting. the dangerous climbing out without a rope i never will do it
You always have beautiful shots in your videos but the ones from your 2nd day in the morning were extra fabulous!
Thank you Patti. Those might be my favorite shots as well.
Mating frogs, it's called amplexus (male on top,) Lovely area....!! Great post!
So, the males are smaller than the females. Interesting. Thanks Gary.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Has me wondering about salamanders now. Gorgeous colours, nice video, CAT.... thanks for taking us along!

Thank you Donna. This is one of the reasons I love making these videos. For people who either can’t or won’t get to see these amazing places themselves. ❤️
Hahahahaha you cracked me up with the mating Frogs.
lol
WTG GURL! YOU DID THAT HIKE & I'M HAPPY FOR YA! WHEW
Thank you so much 🙏
Beautiful scenery there Cat. Way to power through everything. The more times you do solo the more comfortable it becomes.
Thank you Jaxx! I agree with that. I was already more comfortable this time than the last.
It's amazing what a little bit of flowing water and a few million years can carve out of rock.
Indeed!
Looks great! I'm doing this hike in October. Just did the Subway and the Wave . Subway permit was on the first try , but the Wave took 17 tries $$$. Havasupai is opening back up in 2023 - yay!

Thank you Bryan! I wonder what that animal was!!
It was probably a wild boar. It may have been a black bear or deer, although it sounded too big to be deer.
Catherine Gregory, Javelina
I enjoyed the hike 😎
Another great video. Because off you im going on my second hiking trip to Big Bend National Park with a lady inmet in a hiking club. So excited!!!!
That is so awesome!
I agree with all prior comments, so I'll just say your doing the leg work and I'll do the knee work, praying for you, thanks again Santa Maria man
Thank you Warren. I'll always take the prayers.
Beautiful scenery! Glad you stuck to your plan. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Thank you Tammy. I am, too!
thanks for sharing
Nice job, Cat. Looked like a great trip. Keep them coming.
Awesome backpacking alone is nice .... and even a squirrel can sound like a bear let alone a deer running away.
Thank you for your ethics in choosing your camp site... Admiration!! Wonderful hike. Glad you didn't get spooked and head back early...good for you.
I hope to be the road full time in 3 to 5 years. I hope to be as Brave as you are on overnight hikes.
I will be doing some more practicing on over nights in the tent by myself, well with my dogs, and longer hikes.
Thanks for sharing you're wonderful adventures.
Awesome Eve. I think with each baby step you gain confidence. That’s how it’s been for me. Keep me posted on how things are going for you. ❤️
You are a brave soul 💪I would worry too much at night in the middle of no where alone
Very nicely done! Thank you! Looking forward to your next adventure...

Catherine Gregory yes! 43K views of the camper vid! 😳👍
Loved the video. Getting little envious of you. :)
