30 Rugged Miles In Utah's Most Unforgiving Desert! | Cosmic Ashtray & Harris Wash
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 04. 2024
- The Escalante area of Utah is hands down my favorite area to explore in the state. It's rugged, wild, incredibly remote and unforgiving. Hiking here requires mental grit and a willingness to take on a lot of bushwhacking. I was joined by @eric_hanson on this 30 mile backpacking trip through Harris Wash, the Escalante River and the Cosmic Ashtray. This has been a bucket list loop for me and am grateful to have had Eric to experience this incredible place with .

Eric seems like such a fun person to spend time in the backcountry with. I still have not made it to the Cosmic Ashtray yet.....I know I know, I live to close to have not gone yet.
Even with how close you are it’d still be a BIG day of walking!
Fantastic adventure. Well done! Glad you did not get cliffed out at the end there. The Cosmic has been on my list to go see within the next couple years. Looked super cool. Glad you finally got to see it. Have a great day.
Really enjoyed the video! Always good too when Eric’s involved! Loved the photography & music in the video. Never get tired of watching these type video’s (also like Miranda’s & Eric recent videos)😊
Ah thanks! So glad you enjoyed it!
I was waiting for a sand angel in the Ashtray..........Very cool feature. Hard to beat the glow of the red sandstone. Great adventure and video Devin.
Oh I thought about it! Ha! Such a wild and unique place!
Love Escalante....beautiful area....camped out and hiked the slot canyons with some buddies over 20 yrs ago....thanks for bringing back some memories!
Excited you all are sharing treks shared at different times so we can enjoy them again from different perspectives.
Super curious if my Rocky Mountain crew is going to snag Steven when he and his wife are officially done moving to Colorado. ❤😊
That beautiful slick rock canyon country. I love it! Thanks!
Wow, that was almost other worldly! So cool! So very different from anything I get to see here on the east coast. The “ash tray” and slot canyon were especially epic!
The music somehow reminded me of the 2018 PCT odyssey of Darwin on the trail. Always a pleasure to watch all of you trailblazers and thanks a million for the inspiration.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Devin this is so great! Such a grand adventure. When are we going on our second date??
Thanks for a great time my friend! That bushwhacking though! Let’s make something happen soon!
Haha you guys make a great couple!
When it's windy at the Cosmic Ashtray, you can witness erosional processes at work. Sand whirls in there, carving it out more.
Also! Can we all talk about how much Eric is being on everyone’s CZcams channel.
(Good marketing 😉)
What an absolutely amazing place! Tough hike though for sure. You guys definitely had a great time haha.
Yeah we had a good time. I knew Eric would be up for a tough, off trail hike and his experience really played well into making it work out.
Bout to go to coyote gulch this weekend. My first backpacking trip to the canyons of Escalante! And first multi day trip.
Great video! Thanks for bringing us along on the adventure.
Thank you!
Really cool video, thanks for sharing it! Nice to get review on gear, but this is what it all is for in the end!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
On my bucket list. After I retire I think I'll spend a couple of months in Utah and Idaho.
Sounds amazing!
What an amazing trip you guys had! The cosmic ashtray is a bucket list stop for sure! Did you use some of Jamal Green's info for the route finding?
Yes, Jamal is amazing and super helpful with beta.
Awesome fellas! Yall a hoot 😂😂😂 Love your content man
Thanks dude! We had a great time out there!
@@BackcountryExposure if your really bored and need an extra backpacking buddy, just let me know. Lol I’d drive that way non a drop of a dime.
Ashtray does look sweet! Glad you were able to make it out there after wanting to do it for years! Have you tried thermal knee high waterproof socks with a liner sock underneath? Curious to see if that would make a difference in your comfort wading through all that water.
Thanks man! I haven’t ever tried waterproof socks. Honestly they just seem to be more hassle than I care to mess with. I could be wrong though.
Eric’s tripod looks so big and clunky. I hope it’s at least carbon fiber.
If I have to bring a bigger full frame or mirrorless I will def invest in Peak Design’s tripod or Ulanzi’s carbon fiber and cheaper competitor.
Lol, Justin has those gigantic Komperdel camera poles. I love his idea and use those with the Ace Pro and new(!!!) X4.
I've hiked several miles along one Slot Canyon, the name of which escapes me. All during that adventure my mind was on Aron Ralston's story. For myself, I decided I'll not hike any slot canyon. It wasn't a comfortable experience, for MEeee.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Awesome adventure! Utah is such a cool state. I’ve been there multiple times and feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! There’s a never ending list of things to see and do here!
Hi Devon! What a trip this was! Mind if I take a screen shot of your film at 25:18 and frame it? It is beyond beautiful!
Thank you!
Not sure how well it will print, but you’re welcome to try. That sunrise was sure a pretty one!
What guy do you follow to get ideas of where to hike in Utah? I want to take my sons on an epic 5-6 day hike
A lot of my planning is done from scouring through maps and google earth. But the person I referenced is Jamal Green who has the channel and website, Across Utah.
Devin Indoors and Eric Indoors together! You need to get Justin Indoors as well!
Leave No Trace - Did both of you pack out all of your #2 waste?
Mt Everest climbers will be REQUIRED to haul out all their #2 waste from this year on. Considering the 6 weeks at base camp to get acclimated to thin air + the number of days climbing to higher camps, going up & coming down - that's going to be a whole heck of a lot of wasted weight - I'm thinking Clients will endeavor to get their Sherpas to pack out their #2 waste - unless the Sherpas raise an even bigger stink.
Always following proper leave no trace while out there!
WHY NOT POUR HOT/WARM WATER INTO YOUR FROZEN SHOES?..WET IS WET?
I've seen someone do that before and even with what they thought was not too hot and melted their insoles.
