Quicksand and High Water: Hiking the Paria Canyon
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 06. 2023
- A four day solo journey down Paria Canyon and Buckskin Gulch following the massive flash floods of Spring 2023 in Utah / Arizona. In order to complete this 40 mile backpacking trip, I had to pack a wetsuit, GPS, waterproof everything, get stuck in quicksand, and cross the freezing cold river hundreds of times. This trip offered a unique experience to see Paria truly alone - I did not see another human for the entirety of the four days, and I was the first to attempt since the death of several hikers and the rescue of 19 others during May 2023.
Wishing the best for the families of those affected by the flash floods- unfortunately- the rain storms continue to cause flooding and more deaths in this area since this trip.

that quickstand???? Wtf!! This is wild -- congrats on making it thro. Great footage too 🌱🌱🌱
What a gorgeous canyon - Amazing footage. It must have been slightly eerie being there after the flood
That is speechless landscape. Water is one of the most amazing things besides clouds. Where does it really come from and why? How much is it?
It's been so long since I could do that! Thank You for sharing the adventures with us!
Thank you!
Another good one! No alternative but to subscribe. Keep the Utah coming... This was a great hike.
If he went to Flagstaff for a burger then he had to be in Arizona, not Utah.
Not just very good looking recordings, but also a pleasant guy to listen to :) thanks for taking us with you. Much love from the annoyingly boring flat Netherlands..
But Paria is in both Utah and AZ so your both right.@@indtexcol

Have u ever been to Zion national park in Utah?? They have flash floods there.. they call it something and I can’t remember.. the shallows?? Dang now I gotta look it up..
Again looks like an ancient city
Nevermind, I see u have been there.. the narrows..
What is your water purifier of choice?
I would have no patience with that hike. Trying to figure out how deep it is before each step
What are the hand signs you do at the end of your videos?
POV!
How do you keep from getting trench foot?
that water looks like latte macchiato
Guillermo is a crazy mofo - he tooks us back in June of 2022. Did he drive you 90mph down the dirt road?
Haha he's a savage
Foolish to go in there with rain
No closed captions!?!?!? Please turn it on. For this reason, you are getting two thumbs down!!! 👎👎👎
