Every Sunday morning I get my coffee☕️ ready and sit down to see where your next adventure takes us. I'm like you, I get so excited to see wildlife of all kind. The Grand Canyon is magnificent. Beautiful! ❤🦌🌲
Angry about that very much I went to the Grand Canyon 2006 I hiked from the north to the south rim it was awesome every step I left my footprint they're on the bottom of the canyon and I brought back memories
Kat,, your quote from President Roosevelt was a nice touch in your presentation. The deer, elk, snow and music was perfect. I need to get back for a visit Your videos was “ muy bueno”. 😋
Did the same path many years ago on a motorcycle trip. There are simply no words to describe what you see and a minute later again, and again, and again. Enjoyed the video.
I have been to the grand canyon and you are correct, it is tough to really understand what you are you looking at. My brain could not understand the scale of what I was looking , it looked like a mural. Your photography was able to capture the riches of the canyon. Thank you and stay warm.
Catherine, again can't thank you enough for what you are doing. We are seniors who can no longer get out as much and your travels and videos bring our beautiful and wonderful country to us. Thank you again and God Bless.
Funny thing about the Grand/Majestic Canyon is that you are encouraged to see it in person because pictures just doesn’t do it justice but when you do, it’s so incredibly vast that you can’t believe what you’re seeing is real, thinking to yourself, this has to be a picture. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
I've been to the north and south rims while traveling with our travel trailer. You're correct, you have to be there in person to appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canyon.
Loved the video. The Grand Canyon is so mething to see in person but I think you did a great job of capturing that beauty. I loved the elk and deer footage. Thank you again for taking us with you. Look forward to the next one.
You could use this review of the Grand Canyon as a Chamber of Commerce Video! I've been there a few times. My brother lives in Flagstaff, right down the road. It's magnificent there!! Be safe! Enjoy your freedom!
Might want to put a power blanket on your pipes Cat, thats just a fancy way of saying use electric tape on them , its a low voltage tape that will keep your pipes from freezing up, can buy these at any hardware store or even Wal Mart, pretty easy to set up, if push comes to shove, just go online here and find a demo of how to set it up!! Beautiful filming but I come to expect nothing less from you at this point! I have seen that sunrise at Grand Canyon and I hope to allow my wife the opportunity as well this year, but it will be hard to beat the sunrise we saw on top of Haleakala in Hawaii, I know you.ve been to the Islands so you know what Im talking about, but not to lessen this one it was and is spectacular, I would tell anyone go see it!! Quick story about my experience with elk, I was in the Wallowa Mts in East Oregon years ago and we were there during the summer, the elevation none the less was around 8000' ft. and we were getting ready to leave when we saw this small herd in the parking lot and I was going to get a family pic with the elk in the background, I had it all set up and was getting ready to take the pic when I got a nudge from behind, I turned around and behind me was 3 cow elk who were obviously looking for a free handout so I had one of my sisters come over and give them a treat, that was a big mistake because every other elk saw this and descended on us and we never got that pic but we did get away!!! Thanks again for all your hard work!!
Dear Cat 🍀😘👍, wow 🤩 what an impressive video you showed us, from the ‘biggest hole’ in the world. 👍🏜 we stayed there in the nineties and were totally speechless too. 😮 Traveling, the best thing you can do for watching these amazing places. 🤞😊 Have a good week, we think on you 😃😘your Berlin Fan Couple, Nicole and Hardy 🏜😊
Amazing Views! TGC is one of those places you go to and you can just feel the history of all the explorers who came before you. Where you can touch the earth and the earth touches back. Happy Trails Catherine! Warmer weather will be here soon.
I'm just like you -- thousands of years ago, when I was in college, I could never get up early (forget 8am classes!) -- but now I've transitioned into a mode where I absolutely love the quiet, peacefulness of morning (just as you mentioned). Oftentimes when camping -- I love go get out and sit in the pre-morning darkness and watch the "show" as dawn breaks into morning. And in canyon country, this is often a time for some really spectacular scenes/photos...
Nat Geo quality Grand Canyon videos, wildlife deer 🦌 & elk , yummy tacos 🌮 & a lodge trip. Great time 👍🏻 My favorite was the deer pictured behind the tree. You should print that one 🙋🏼♀️
The food looks great! The other day I made what I called in pan shepherds pie. I put leftover taco meat, added tomato sauce, one canned corn, and canned french cut green beans, drained the water, then placed it into the pan, heated it all up. Turn off the gas stove. Made mashed potatoes, spread the mash potatoes over the top of the thick meat sauce, and added cheese. Put a lid on it for twenty minutes. Man, was it easy and so tasty! One-pan meal, and thought I share.
Did the same thing 12 years ago. Winter is a good time to go. No crowds. The people that were there thought all Arizona was warm in winter. They had to stay in their cars while I enjoyed the rim trail.
Watching your afternoon and morning videos, I think that the afternoon ones are much better than the morning ones. So sleeping in until it warmed up would have been my Plan A.
Brought back memories of the first time I saw the Grand Canyon. It was such a spiritual experience. Pictures can never do it justice. Thanks for bringing us there.
I used to enjoy visiting parks in the off season when there were fewer people, but as I got older the cold became more miserable and would ruin an otherwise good time. It didn't matter how many layers of clothes I had on when my feet and hands were freezing. Safe travels to a warmer climate....
So cool this video aired the day my wife and I stepped off on our rim to rim hike. We absolutely agree, the most physically grueling activity we’ve done. Love your channel.
I’ll never forget seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. It did indeed not seem real. I couldn’t grasp it at all. The only time I got a small hint of the scale of it was when my hubby and I hiked down to a point where, looking back up at a viewing area, the people there looked like tiny ants. Then looking down, a group of mules and people also looked like ants, and that group wasn’t even close to the bottom!
I was there alone in mid-June 1968 while enroute from Great Lakes IL to San Diego in a VW bug, while in the Navy. I hiked down the Bright Angel Trail on a hot sunny day, turned around at the first rest area to get out ahead of the passenger burros. Deer now have Covid, brain wasting disease, and ticks with Lyme disease, and more.
When I see you in this place I remember my visits in 2016 and 2019 and get tears in my eyes, I miss it so so much. Living in the Netherland I miss it every day...
Absolutely Stunning! So skillfully photoed and as usual beautifully overlaid with wonderful music. God’s creation, so majestic. Thanks for sharing this.
You bring back some great memories of “the crack” with my wife.RIP WE preferred the N. Rim but any views and experience is memorable. Enjoy the sounds of silence!
Agreed, this is a must see in person. Park. When you see it in person for the first time it will be an indelible experience. I'm heading back the first week in April for my annual R2R hike celebrating my 70th birthday. Always enjoyable content.
Oh Catherine... Light and shadows and magnificent colors enhance your awesome photography. We will definitely put the GC on our bucket list. Thank you so much. Stay well. 💕
OK that’s not fair now you really made me homesick my brother Craig lives in Tusayan AZ (Grand Canyon) about two years ago I would say he was the mayor of the grand Canyon he still flies for Grand Canyon Airlines as a pilot I love seeing the Grand Canyon specially at the bottom where I have over 100 trips White water as a river guide. That was so cool to see the elk and the deer glad you had fun nothing like seeing the sunrise in the canyon or a sunset ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out PS if you’re still around that little town stop in and say hello to him for me 😆
You are an inspiration to women who may be afraid to set out on our own. I'm 70 now. I lived in Grand Junction that has a mini GC. I hiked it many times. This year I'm finally going to the GC
Great video of one of America's most breath-taking places. Thank you for your videos, they have become a part of so many of our follower's lives. Soooo professionally done.
Oh my, how I would enjoy being there too! You are absolutely correct, no photo/video can come close to the visceral experience of being there in person. Just to wander the rim path, sit a while at various overlooks, have no time agenda, soak up nature, watch the hawks/eagles. YES!!! Oh to be in a quiet hang glider flying along the river's route!!! Decades ago, February, I stayed at the El Tovar, with a canyon side view, snow all around. Fantastic breakfast experience in the hotel. Another morning, went to witness the sunrise, about 20 degrees. Bundled, cold nose and ears, loved every second. I observed a helicopter, with a steel footbridge section, flying deep into the canyon. Then really was able to see the vast scale compared, as it descended, needed binoculars to follow its path, as it became a little spec. Catherine, you MUST get that desiel heater operational if you plan to have better, more comfortable winter living. Yes, I know that you are a tough lady. But frozen/cracked pipes are no fun. Thanks for another beautiful Sunday morning tour of our land.
I can't imagine the grandeur of the grand canyon in person,i traveled there from Canada sixty years ago. Always wanted to go back but haven't made it yet. Thanks, keep on exploring.
One of your superpowers is finding uncrowded times to visit these places that are normally really crowded. Your Yosemite visit was another example of that. I was there in the fall when there were controlled burns around the area so it was pretty smoky with no good views. Some clouds make it really beautiful as your shots show. Those elk near the end look like they need a spa day.
It is always awesome to see a sunrise at the Grand Canyon!! Even though I'm from the east I've been there many times. Once even being one of those tent campers when the temps went below zero. But the sunrise was GREAT!!
Wow. You got some shots of the canyon that compare with any I've ever seen. Glad you got to see that wildlife up close. I stayed in Desert View campground some years ago. The host noticed my Indiana plate and, as it was his preretirement home as well, came over to talk. He'd been working as a host for several years, switching to the North Rim ("the most beautiful place on earth") Campground during the summer. He had a hummingbird feeder. He told me that when he first arrived back at Desert View after being gone for months, the hummingbirds started to gather in anticipation before he had time to level his vehicle, let alone set up the feeder. They obviously remembered him. I thought it was almost a miracle that creatures with such tiny brains could do that, but as someone commented when I told her the story, "Every part of that tiny brain is focused on survival."
It is incredible there. I did a backpacking trip a few yrs ago from the South rim. And still dream of it these days. Was in awe at the grandure and magnificent views. Thank you. This video took me back there. And made me smile.
I'm also lived in my TC since 2019 and I've been on many adventures watching your videos is one of my favorite pastimes it helps me remember how lucky I am to be living this life thank you Catherine
Catherine this post has inspired me to visit the Grand Canyon. My wife has always wanted to go so, after I retire in May this year our first retirement destination shall be GCNP. She retired in 2019 and is itching to get out there. Kudos!
Welcome to "Washington State" where we experience a lot of the sub freezing temperatures you had mentioned. You have an amazing ability in capturing the very essence of nature in its prime. Thank you so ......for sharing!!! A+
Don't miss out on the northern rim. It is not geared so much for tourism but the views up close and personal leaves one in awe. During the winter do they leave the gates open and you can go in for free. The restroom will be open and that is it. No cafeteria etc.
I've always had a love/hate relationship with the Grand Canyon. My only multi-day backpacking trip there ended in tragedy and a day hike to the river and back to the rim was tough and it was too hot overall. I once did a 5 mile roundtrip starting at the Grandview lookout tower and heading to the south rim with the goal of cross country hiking through the forest to an unnamed, unmapped, unknown spot. I wanted to glimpse the feeling of approaching the big ditch and coming upon it without warning as the Spanish conquistadors may have experienced. That short trek was probably the best time had there. Thanks Catherine for getting up early and braving the cold to bring us spectacular footage.
You're right about pictures not conveying the immensity of it. On my first walk across America I hiked through there for the first time and remember being mesmerized. And about being there when hardly anyone else is there is special too. During the original shutdown I camped in the forest near Grandview Tower and was amazed how different it felt being one of the only people there. More recently, I took the ambulance through there while most of the park was shutdown and it felt extra peaceful.
We also went out to see the sunrise on the canyon one morning and then walked the rim trail over to Bright Angel Lodge and had a full breakfast. Fantastic! Highly recommend.
Another excellent video! May Almighty God continue to Bless, Guard, Guide, and Protect you in your journeys!
Thanks so much John!
Beautiful Grand Canyon! Thank you.
Thanks Katherine for a great video
That was absolutely stunning footage. Thank you so very much for sharing that. Be well. 😊👍
Beautiful video. Thank you 😊
Gorgeous! It’s on my bucket list!
Beautiful!
Hearing that Elk bugling out Reveley in the morning is so majestic.
Every Sunday morning I get my coffee☕️ ready and sit down to see where your next adventure takes us. I'm like you, I get so excited to see wildlife of all kind. The Grand Canyon is magnificent. Beautiful! ❤🦌🌲

Thank you!
Did the same path many years ago on a motorcycle trip. There are simply no words to describe what you see and a minute later again, and again, and again. Enjoyed the video.
Yo Sam! Yes! Motorcycle ride through this incredible place would definitely give a whole new perspective. I'm in!!
It's amazing that there's such a beautiful place on Earth. I'm watching a video in Korea, and I really want to go.😍
Your correct, nothing compares to being there in person, you still managed to get great shots
I have been to the grand canyon and you are correct, it is tough to really understand what you are you looking at. My brain could not understand the scale of what I was looking , it looked like a mural. Your photography was able to capture the riches of the canyon. Thank you and stay warm.
Nobody can go away the same person that arrived. This was one of your best.
The canyon shots are beautiful but like you said, you really have to be there to experience the true grandeur of the canyon. It is breathtaking!
Catherine, again can't thank you enough for what you are doing. We are seniors who can no longer get out as much and your travels and videos bring our beautiful and wonderful country to us. Thank you again and God Bless.
You are so welcome!
Any squirrels? I love Grand Canyon squirrel❤
WOW and you got a Chihuahuan Raven! I could tell due the extended Bristles on his beak..very cool!
Oh cool! I didn’t know that. :)
Elk butts in the morning, nothing better. The Grand Canyon is one of those magical places.
Funny thing about the Grand/Majestic Canyon is that you are encouraged to see it in person because pictures just doesn’t do it justice but when you do, it’s so incredibly vast that you can’t believe what you’re seeing is real, thinking to yourself, this has to be a picture. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
I've been to the north and south rims while traveling with our travel trailer.
You're correct, you have to be there in person to appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canyon.
THAT is the most beautiful place in our nation, perhaps on earth.. No camera, not even your own eyes, can take it in.. amazing
Loved the video. The Grand Canyon is so mething to see in person but I think you did a great job of capturing that beauty. I loved the elk and deer footage. Thank you again for taking us with you. Look forward to the next one.
Thank you mom. Love you! ❤️
The Grand Canyon is near the top of the list of places to visit. The sunrise is spectacular. Thank you for another great video.
You could use this review of the Grand Canyon as a Chamber of Commerce Video! I've been there a few times. My brother lives in Flagstaff, right down the road. It's magnificent there!! Be safe! Enjoy your freedom!
Catherine the Grand Canyon is on my list to see. At 69 years old this video inspires me to make the 1000 mile drive . Thanks for the fantastic video.
The Grand Canyon HUMBLED me when I visited.
Whenever I see pictures of the Grand Canyon I think of the movie Vacation and an episode of the Brady Bunch. Haha
What the hand of the Creator has done...very spiritual
Good Morning Catherine. 😁
Good morning ☀️
Might want to put a power blanket on your pipes Cat, thats just a fancy way of saying use electric tape on them , its a low voltage tape that will keep your pipes from freezing up, can buy these at any hardware store or even Wal Mart, pretty easy to set up, if push comes to shove, just go online here and find a demo of how to set it up!!

Thank you! I'll look into that.

Watching your afternoon and morning videos, I think that the afternoon ones are much better than the morning ones. So sleeping in until it warmed up would have been my Plan A.
Yes. The Grand Canyon draws us back every year. We love the low key North Rim as well and love staying in their Mather and North Rim campgrounds .
Brought back memories of the first time I saw the Grand Canyon. It was such a spiritual experience. Pictures can never do it justice. Thanks for bringing us there.
I like the subtle way you acknowledge the restaurants are nothing to get excited about. Beautiful video!
I used to enjoy visiting parks in the off season when there were fewer people, but as I got older the cold became more miserable and would ruin an otherwise good time. It didn't matter how many layers of clothes I had on when my feet and hands were freezing. Safe travels to a warmer climate....
Awesome video Catherine!! Great shots and editing as usual 🤙

Thank you do much for braving the cold for that sunrise. The herd of elk talking to each other took my breath away! I hope your pipes are ok! 🤞
All is good. Thank you!
I like seeing the "very few or no people" sceneries; my "escape", so to speak from living in a big city.
I was there alone in mid-June 1968 while enroute from Great Lakes IL to San Diego in a VW bug, while in the Navy. I hiked down the Bright Angel Trail on a hot sunny day, turned around at the first rest area to get out ahead of the passenger burros.

Fantastic video thank you so much catherine
The natural world is breathtaking!!!
Breathtaking!! Beautiful...just WOW! I love it when you film wildlife! The herd of elk was SO cool! Thank you Catherine! Stay warm!
oh yeah, that black bird was pretty cool also, kinda looked like it was wearing a mask.
We rafted down the Colorado river thru the canyons. We started at the gigantic over flow tubes,absolutely incredible.
Absolutely Stunning! So skillfully photoed and as usual beautifully overlaid with wonderful music. God’s creation, so majestic. Thanks for sharing this.
Your photography did the canyon justice! Thanks for sharing........
SVAP with updated sunshine/shadows. Truly, more dramatic! SVAP: Spectacular video and pictures...ALWAYS
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for taking us along. Your efforts are always appreciated.
Thanks for sharing the splendid sights!
You bring back some great memories of “the crack” with my wife.RIP
WE preferred the N. Rim but any views and experience is memorable. Enjoy the sounds of silence!

Worked there in 80,81. So awesome and not changed !! Woke up down there once, chilled a Coors in Colorado river. Awesome video/memories !
Hi wow this is awesome wonderful video. 😊😊😊🙋♀️💞
You are right in that everyone should see it in person at least once. I've been there twice so far and still can't get enough!
You are an inspiration to women who may be afraid to set out on our own. I'm 70 now. I lived in Grand Junction that has a mini GC. I hiked it many times. This year I'm finally going to the GC
Thank you 🙏
Great video of one of America's most breath-taking places. Thank you for your videos, they have become a part of so many of our follower's lives. Soooo professionally done.
I want coffee everytime you make yourself a cup. Another amazing video!!!! So much space out there. One of the bucket list destinations.
Oh my, how I would enjoy being there too!
You are absolutely correct, no photo/video can come close to the visceral experience of being there in person.
Just to wander the rim path, sit a while at various overlooks, have no time agenda, soak up nature, watch the hawks/eagles.
YES!!!
Oh to be in a quiet hang glider flying along the river's route!!!
Decades ago, February, I stayed at the El Tovar, with a canyon side view, snow all around. Fantastic breakfast experience in the hotel. Another morning, went to witness the sunrise, about 20 degrees. Bundled, cold nose and ears, loved every second.
I observed a helicopter, with a steel footbridge section, flying deep into the canyon. Then really was able to see the vast scale compared, as it descended, needed binoculars to follow its path, as it became a little spec.
Catherine, you MUST get that desiel heater operational if you plan to have better, more comfortable winter living.
Yes, I know that you are a tough lady. But frozen/cracked pipes are no fun.
Thanks for another beautiful Sunday morning tour of our land.
I can't imagine the grandeur of the grand canyon in person,i traveled there from Canada sixty years ago. Always wanted to go back but haven't made it yet. Thanks, keep on exploring.
One of your superpowers is finding uncrowded times to visit these places that are normally really crowded. Your Yosemite visit was another example of that. I was there in the fall when there were controlled burns around the area so it was pretty smoky with no good views. Some clouds make it really beautiful as your shots show.

Yet again, another amazing vicarious experience to see the beauty of what you see! Thank you.
We always look forward to your videos every week. Love it!

we are such a moment in time.....
It’s a real pleasure to watch your videos Catherine you seem like such a good person
It is incredible there. I did a backpacking trip a few yrs ago from the South rim. And still dream of it these days. Was in awe at the grandure and magnificent views. Thank you. This video took me back there. And made me smile.
I'm also lived in my TC since 2019 and I've been on many adventures watching your videos is one of my favorite pastimes it helps me remember how lucky I am to be living this life thank you Catherine
went there a few years ago,wish we had something like that here in England.I could sit there every day and see something new everytime.
I've been there with 6 inches of snow on the ground!! It doesn't even seem real!! Lucky You! You had the place to yourself!!Enjoy!Be safe!!
Catherine this post has inspired me to visit the Grand Canyon. My wife has always wanted to go so, after I retire in May this year our first retirement destination shall be GCNP. She retired in 2019 and is itching to get out there. Kudos!
Thank you for filming in the Yavipati, enjoyed it! 👍👍Always, ALWAYS SPECTACULAR VIDEO AND PICTURES! From now that will become this acronym: SVAP
Breathtaking landscapes !!!! Wonderful ......thank you
Early bird gets the worm🌝
Stayed over at the canyon in summer sunset and sunrise absolutely breathtaking!
Welcome to "Washington State" where we experience a lot of the sub freezing temperatures you had mentioned. You have an amazing ability in capturing the very essence of nature in its prime. Thank you so ......for sharing!!! A+

You are the cutest Catherine! Such a great personality! 😊👍🏻🇺🇸❤
Cat🤭 You're better... ❣️🤣🤣🤣... Thank'You 👍
I hope to go this year, at 75,I'm happy that your showing that pathways are doable for me, need to find someone to go with.

Its religious experience every time I visit Grand Canyon. North rim and the road that leads to it is particularly scenic. Great video. Thanks
Hi Cat! Thanks for sweeten my Sunday. Regards from Germany ,Ralf
Awesome, you got to see both deer and elk. Thanks for sharing. You've done well, getting to know your camper. Wishing you all the best! 👍😎🇨🇦📷🐾🌲
