Discovering a Hidden Oasis in a Remote Desert Canyon

Hi folks 👋 Many of you have been asking for more details about this hike. Here’s a link to my hiking guide with all of the details: nicholaseager.com/g/coyote-gulch Coyote Gulch is a difficult hike in a sensitive environment. Some climbing experience might be required and you need to pack out all waste (including human waste). Please research carefully, and be safe and respectful if you decide to go do this on your own. Thanks for watching and your support 💛

Thank you for the silence, No talking no music just beauty. Feels so very good. Kay

This is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Being able to enjoy all the sounds I can almost smell the air. Each view is a painting unto itself. As a 75 yr old thank you for taking me where I am unable to go. 🕊

Your filming is so professional. I appreciate that you keep your camera in focus, not blurring out the background or surroundings. Because the majority of your scenes are visually clear the viewing experience is so enjoyable. We feel like were there with you. We feel the experience your having or at least can imagine it because we can see so much in each scene. I hope content makers and filmmakers in general follow your example.

Never seen your videos before. I have followed many backpacker, nomad, bushcrafter channels but your channel in new to me. This was absolutely the most incredible magical place I've ever seen videoed and your camera work catches ever bit of it's beauty. Thank you for sharing this and for your sensitivity to this sacred place and the way you captured it's uniqueness and character.

I've hiked this canyon 4 times, and taken a dozen people with me over the years -- the last time I did it, I was 65 yrs old -- and back then there were no cables to pull yourself out of the canyon with! Most beautiful place in the universe, according to me. And I always did it as a one-day hike, no overnight camping is necessary. Keep the backpack as light as possible; bring a filter so you can drink straight out of the creek. You will be walking IN the stream half of the time with wet feet -- that's great, it keeps your feet nice and cool. There are 3 great arches to see, plus one natural bridge going right over the stream. The Steven's Arch with its 225-foot opening is my favorite of all the more than 300 natural arches I've visited.

There is a good chance this canyon looked exactly like this when the Egyptians were building the pyramids. You found a place that exist outside of time.The silent hiking was an excellent choice, thanks for taking us with you.

As a disabled veteran, thank you for taking me along for this wonderful journey. Semper Fidelis

Great job showing this beautiful Nature, finding those locations, hiking, planning shots, angles, setting up tripod 100s of times, and then editing everything. You have my admiration, and my thanks.

Hi. This is absolutely beautiful. No talking just silence. I love this video. Breathtaking beautiful. No cars, no people, no noises, no pollution. No Tv's lol. No shops. This is what I need. Thank you.

I love how deer who haven't had contact with humans before aren't really afraid of people, just mildly cautious.

BRAVO !!!!!! THAT was an incredible small journey and should win an award for cinematography and editing. Thank you for bringing us along.. Mother Earth truly is magnificent.

I'm not certain I would be able to leave if I hiked into an area like this. Leave the modern world behind forever.

It’s amazing to think of the power of water / not only to carve the canyon, but to allow the growth of all of that plant life and thus support the animals.

FINALLY the algorithm gives me something i actually want to watch 🎉

Reminds me of an old western novel where the man finds such a canyon (through lava tubes) such as this and starts a ranch. One or two ways in/out. Then finds women of his dreams, starts a family...... read many westerns like this beautiful place. The colors...oranges, reds, green, blue of the sky.....to traverse the canyon, camping out for days/weeks....80 y/o this summer...dont know if I can hike 26 miles, but I sure want to. So glorious, like the native peoples and pioneers found this place before our generations! ❤

I am a seventy year old woman, no longer able to these things. Thank you for taking me along with you .

Hello Good Folks. Brief context: This wonderful video shows a stretch of "Coyote Gulch", a tributary of The Escalante River in southern Utah. It's part of the "Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument". Public Land (Bureau of Land Management). Fun Fact: The "Staircase" refers to a vast geologic landscape that can be thought of as five gigantic, colorful "steps": The Chocolate to Vermilion to White to Gray to Pink Cliffs. It's largely remote, stunning country. 🌞

Absolutely gorgeous desert country. The contrast of the green cottonwoods the various shades of colors in the rocks and sand and creek waters is striking…all under a beautiful blue sky. Birds chirping. What a fantastic excursion. Great video.

Cmon people this deserves way more likes
