In this video I am once again joined by Bryan Delay (channel link below) for an overnight on The Box Trail in the mountains above Escalante Utah. We were looking to escape the heat and were told about this trail which begins at over 7,000ft above sea level (if you begin at the Upper Box Trailhead). I have done several trips in the desert of Utah, but this was my first in the mountains. It was a gorgeous little escape with a creek, canyon and lots of pines.

Dear Catherine really you are doing nice job for me.Iam 80 yrs old lady, when I watch your video , I feel that I am also going with you . very nice presentation , thank you,and my blessings is always with you.
Wow! a campfire. Here in my Southern California mountains we just don't get to do that because of the fire danger. That was such a pleasant video. Your videos have become quite important to me. You see, I just retired yesterday (June 13) at age sixty-two after thirty-two years of teaching high school. I've been backpacking since I was eleven, hiking National Parks and Forests throughout the Western States; climbing peaks and doing long hikes up to twenty-five days. But now I'm just always searching for the pleasant one, two or three night backpacks away from the popular spots in the National Parks. Your videos have revealed these gems to me. I'm writing these down for future journeys. My favorite places now are Arizona and most of Southern Utah. So thank you for these gifts. As a hobbyist landscape and nature photographer, I know how much work you do to create these videos. We all appreciate your effort. Looking forward to your next post.
Michael San Filippo Try the Wind River Range in Wyoming. There are lots of tremendous backpacking options there.
I did the Pacific Crest Trail a year after I retired, and while I only got 700 miles in, it was the adventure of my life.
Happily I have found all of your videos to be just like you are, wonderfully refreshing & absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for taking me along!
Thank you 🙏!
Thank you for another beautiful video, wonderful scenery, delightful commentary, and excellent music. Again, thank you! 😊💖
Thank YOU!!
Beautiful hike cat keep up the good work and thank you Brian for going with her😁🤗😇👍🐝
Catherine you captured the best of upper Box; another excellent video! A great little one night trip.
Yes it was. Thanks so much Bryan!
Catherine, your Utah, in fact your U.S., hiking experience is not complete without a nice 8-10 day trip in the High Uinta Wilderness. Make sure you take enough time to take a trip from one trailhead to another, the loop trails don't cover enough of the terrain and a weekend trip is too short to see it properly. Make sure you take in the Painter Basin, then climb King's Peak, or the reverse if you are traveling from west to east. The Painter Basin has incredible colors, those typical of the deserts of Utah and in sedimentary rock, but with a high alpine environment. It is also the only east-west major mountain range in the country, which is very fascinated. Everything you expect to see is off 90 degrees. I hiked it back in the 1980's and it was one of the highlight trips of my life.
Thanks for all the info! I appreciate it. It’s definitely in the list.
What an incredible location to ponder and appreciate life. As usual, great cinematography and stylish bushwear...(smiley face).
Great cinematic video and editing. A beautiful place. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks so much Robert!
Very relaxing & uplifting to watch. Nice that you included the sound of the crackling fire. 😊
Thank you Rimona!
Unforgettable
Absolutely stunning. LOVE Utah and your videography is so "right on" Makes me want to head to the woods.
I'm heading to Colorado soon... day hikes at first.
I look forward to relaxing with your posts. Thank you.
Wow, that was amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience.
So envious of your gorgeous back-country treks since I can no longer do them. Thanks so much for sharing your fine adventures.
looks like an Amazing place,,heading to Montana this week...time to escape the madness
Have a great time!!
Hey Catherine! Thanks for the video, beautifully done. I got to hike The Box just about a year ago as a day hike down to the parking lot. One of the best days I've spent in a while - I saw three other people all day, just about half an hour from the south end of the trail. Escalante is magical - hope I can make it back!
Your videos are a lil escape for me the trees and trails are visually striking...Thanks for another great upload.
I’m so glad Dorcas!
Beautiful place 👍
This trail looked absolutely beautiful. 💚
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Thank you.
😄😄
I've been eying that box route for a while now, thank you for making this and sharing, it's very helpful!
Another delightful video. Thank you!
That stream at the 3 min mark. I could sit and camp there for weeks.
Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful over nighter bet you didn't want to come back down. Always a great way to start my morning with your hiking and my coffee. Take care and stay safe
Love the sound of a creek! Beautiful hike and area. Nice to have a friend along. Yay on the fires! 😉🇨🇦
Me too!
So pretty out there! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thanks for the trip 😊
Really nice Catherine. Much enjoyed, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for another great video!
Beautiful country! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
The mountain stream is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
So serene and beautiful Cat!!

Another beautiful spot👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice. Thank you
So pretty! Beautiful woods, flowers and sounds! Loved this!💕
Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing this journey! We look forward to hiking it! Blessings galore!
As always, an excellent video depiction of your overnight hiking experiences 👌🏻
Great video.. Greetings from Denmark, northern Europe, the old Viking country.
Nice I was just there at Escalante too but I did the hike Hurricane wash to Jacob Arch !
It is good to see you back in the woods!! You do a great job with all of your videos, but I like the ones on the trail best.
Thank you.
Hello Catherine😊😊! What a beautiful and serene hike. I wish I was there with you. I love Utah and can't wait to get back there! Great video Catherine!
Beautiful campsite and hike. My heart will always be in the Rockies. Soaking your feet in a cold stream and just being.....thank you for living this life and thank you for sharing. More please
Next trip is in Colorado. :) Thank you.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures awesome! I grew up in price Utah and then grand junction Colorado and was stationed at Peterson AFB in Colorado springs. Hope you get to see the wild stallions on the book cliff mountains near grand junction Colorado.
The creek water looks cold. Thanks for sharing.
Was there fishing Monday, caught a few rainbows just opposite the registration area. Horse flies were crazy. Good fun hike, plenty of squirrels for dogs to chase.
What a beautiful place to hike and camp. The shots of the canyon walls along the creek were very pretty.
Thanks for sharing with us and we hope you have a wonderful week!
Great hike Cat.
That trip was awesome. Beautiful campsite, nice creek, easy hike in, just perfect. Thank you for sharing Cat. I give you 👍👍 on that one 😂
Thank you so much Johnny. Hope you’re staying cool in AZ!
Great photography as usual. Very much appreciated because I'm an east coaster, mainly NYS and FL and not much climbing. I would not get to see what you see but for your video! Thank you much!
Hello Catherine, happy Sunday to you Dear. Thank you so much for sharing another beautifully filmed video. There were so many picturesque settings in this video. The very best of good things for you every day. Please stay safe and healthy. 🤗
Cat now that’s what I call beautiful! Love the mtns & the gushing river... Sooooooo relaxing! Thanks again Cat for being the highlight of my week!!! You really are amazing! 🥰👍⛰🌲🗻🏕🌱🍀⛰🌲
Thank you Loran! 😄😄😄
Awesome
This is just beautiful. You capture the moment like nobody else. Thanks a lot, Cat!
Thank you so much!
Your housekeeping trick at 10:53 had me giggling and then wondering why I've never done it that way!
😂😂😂
So Peaceful! 💕 Catherine
Well, that looked just lovely!
Thank you Angela.
Excellent as always. I felt like I was there with you.
Sometimes a gently flowing creek is just what I need! The forest is gorgeous! I loved going on this hike with you guys! Heading over to Bryan's right now.
Glad to see you're getting back in the groove. We hope to be out soon. Spent a week in the hospital with a bacterial infection from a trash can lid that came down and cut my forehead. Almost died with that one. Looking forward to your next trip!!
Omg Todd! I’m sorry to hear that, but so glad you are okay. We need you around!
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS SCENERY VIEWS VIDEO ! AWESOME CAMERA FOOTAGE ! THANK YOU ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Nice!
Awesome over nighter , beautiful scenery love the sounds of water, peaceful . nice to have a fire at the camp sight. thanks
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful area, brings back memories. Kurt
Beautiful! It's nice that you got Bryan to slow down so we can linger on the gorgeous scenery. He's usually zooming!
😂😂
Thanks, Catherine. Beautiful hike. Perhaps mention some of your gear. I've hiked the area and I'm going back this summer.
I'm running out of superlatives so taking nothing away I enjoyed this one like all the rest. I'll be looking for Bryan to drop his take on this overnighter next.
Thank you John.
Beautiful scenery. Love your videos, inspires me to get outdoors and appreciate mother nature 😍
Thank you 🙏!! ❤️
Hiking along that stream had to have been a delight
It was! 😀
I share all your hikes and back packing treks with my friend in Australia, she loves watching your adventures as well.
Thank you so much Pamela. I appreciate that.
Great job as always Catherine! That was a really beautiful area, and yeah didn’t look like Utah...
Thank you Mike! Be safe out there and enjoy the rest of your trek!
If you liked the woods in the Box. The some wonderful Utah woods are in northern Utah. Head to the Unitah Mountains. Lot's of backpacking there. Some are easy, some are hard. My favorite is Red Castle.
I’d definitely like to visit the Uintah’s.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures There are so many amazing hikes in the Uintah's like Roger said. Red Castle Lake is amazing but my favorites are probably Ryder Lake or Amethist Lake in August or September. The Granddaddy basin is a little easier and just as beautiful.
Love the bright golden flowers!! Quite a bit different feel in that area it seemed....good background noise....still had the nice rock walls but lots of other growth plus the ever present creek.......I know that creek water tasted good too.....great little getaway....and do not think for a minute that I missed the cheese raviolis lol lol. You still have the best coffee shop around.
lol. I knew you wouldn’t miss the ravioli! 😂😂
Hi Cat. 2016 my hubby & I stayed at the Escalante Outfitters lil log cabins for three days. Had a great time exploring Peek-a-Boo Canyon & Spooky Gulch. Escalante is massive and not crowded. I’d love to try Box Canyon next time. Glad you enjoyed it. Love your videos, though they make crazy due to the pandemic & having to stay home and cancel a few trips. 😄
Nice, and nice video ,just saying
wow!...flipping awesome campsite!!…...I went out hiking today and started out at 4 feet above sea level elevation for the entire hike!..lol
😂😂
Catherine, you are really inspiring me to visit Utah. I remember your Coyote Gulch video and it has made me want to wait until later on in the year. Now, I am thinking I need to make a trip to see some of these places. Great video!
You do! Fall is a great time to visit Southern Utah.
Thanks for sharing. If you ever want to go out of the States you should check out the Turkish trails here. You will love them.
woops! that pretty music put me to sleep
lol...this video is maybe a bit too relaxing. 😂😂
Not the usual Utah hiking CZcams video. The trail has lots of interest and your overnight spot just invited relaxation. I bet the forest smells were great, too. No wild life to speak of? Keep it coming.
Yes, the smells were beautiful. No, we saw no wildlife.
Well done! I'm not accustomed to seeing you hiking with trekking poles anymore.
Thank you. With all the boulders and stones I encountered in the water during my Death Hollow trip, I decided to bring them since I'd be in and out of the water here, as well. It did feel awkward using them again. lol
I enjoy the day-n-half trips into the lesser known niches and spots in the west. our National Parks are a treasure but i like NOT recognizing all the sights [grins].
😀
Great videos! One question: How do you prevent feet issues when you walk through so much water?
Hi Catherine. Always enjoy your videos of your adventures. You really have an eye for beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing. Quick question, how do you dry out your shoes or do you just let them air dry?
Thank you! I just let them air dry. In Utah the climate is very dry so it doesn’t take long.
👍
Awesome overnight hike! We were wondering what kind of footwear you were wearing for water crossings. You didn't seem to be changing each time.
It would be a real pain to change each time. There are too many crossings. I wore my LaSportiva Ultra Raptors and Darn Tough socks. They dried quickly. Thank you!
Is beatiful cathering Iam mexican end Ilike you videos.
That is a neat area. It looks like you got some good cardio. Do you wear Crocs around camp? Is that a Big Agnes one person tent?
Beautiful scenery. The streams and mountains are intoxicating. Did you see any wildlife?
Thank you. No, I didn’t.
Catherine Gregory I’m finally getting to go to Colorado in September for some hiking and 4x4ing after my shoulder heals. Looking forward to more of your awe inspiring videos. Thank you for sharing, it does more fir me than you will ever know.
Thanks for taking us along on your trip....love Utah. Im jealous of Bryan that he got to go on a pack trip with you...love to do that someday. LOL Cat...stay safe out there...
Thanks for coming along vicariously Randy!
Awesome! Had no idea Utah could look like this! How are you getting those smooth walking clips with the a6400?!
I actually experimented and shot the entire hike on my iPhone 11. It has great stabilization. Next trip I’ll be back on my a6400 with a couple walking clips from the iPhone thrown in.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures oh haha! Awesome. I suspected it wasn't the a6400, but was hoping you'd found some post production wizardry solution. Lol. I did all my Yosemite videos with a Samsung Galaxy S9+ on a gimbal and the results were surprisingly good. Even better that you didn't even need the gimbal!
👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍
Cathy, I would love to go hiking with you one day.
you must be kidding how come I havent seen this video with so many trees in it? Man
Arizona has a fire ban and you had a campfire so wondered if Utah has no restrictions?
There weren’t any restrictions at the time of this trip.
Hello Catherine. I loved the show, but did not give you a thumbs up. The reason why is I would have been number 666. I will check later to hopefully give you number 667. Southern Utah is absolutely beautiful. I just love it. Well, take care and stay healthy. Vaughn
Okay, I am thumbs up number 687. Got past the 666 number. Whew! Vaughn
Thank you Vaughn
Was this in May or June? Love Utah!
It was May.
question: do you change shoes for river crossings or just hike in wet shoes and socks?
I just hike in wet shoes and socks. There are far too many crossings to change shoes every time. :)
😍
