What to pack for your National Parks road trip [Arches, Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon]

Excellent videos. We just found your channel, live in Arizona, and have been traveling the west for 15 years but have been RV’ing for 40 years. We enjoy your videos. Very well done and informative. Thank you.

Great advice here. 😎 As a foreigner who cannot bring a cooler on the pla ne , so I always buy a reasonably cheap cooler when I arrive and just leave it, when I go back. I'll nomally have to buy ice every or every other day, but it's worth it. Getting back to my car and cold water after a 1.5 hour hike in 120 degrees in Gilbert, Arizona, was great as the water I brought in my backpack was also about 120 F.

More great information guys. Thanks again. Three weeks and I'll be there, can not wait. Thanks for sharing.

Hi! - from Utah too and you nailed it! We love visiting southern Utah.

Your advice is GOLD!!! Yes!!! Was in Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce just this summer! Also Yellowstone & Grand Teton for 8 days. Used your advice & had the trip of a lifetime! Agree with this advice except shirts - " cotton kills". Please use a wicking fabric. Absolutely agree with hydration pack... Water is essential especially at those altitudes! Yes to electrolytes!!!

All your videos are so informative! Love it! Please keep them coming!♥️

Great advice! I have found the lightweight long sleeve shirts to be helpful as they keep the sun off but let the wind through for the hot sunny days.

Thank you so much for all of your videos. My family and I are going to the Grand Canyon for my birthday in April. All of your videos have helped me prepare for a stress free trip. I really appreciate you. New subbie! :)

Got my hiking poles for Christmas. Need to order those socks. Thanks!

Wanted to thank you. We just got back to charleston SC, from 2 days in GT and 4 days in Yellowstone. I watched hours of you videos and was well prepared for both parks. We planned it to get to the tourists spots like Jenny lake before 7am. We took scenic detours like Fire Hole falls road, water falls and some others roads, avoiding the geyser basins at peak hours. Even asked a ranger about best wildlife and found out there was a dead Buffalo at slough creek rd (lamar valley,)were we saw a grey and black wolf. Will be watching your other videos for our next cross country trip to either arches/moab or grand canyon. Your videos saved me from countless hours of stress from long lines and missed wildlife/landscape opportunities Thanks again

Ton of great advice! We love mild hiking and once we got our trekking poles, we feel lost without them. Just great support all around, not just for leverage while climbing I discovered. Never heard of Minky, as a family with a lot of blankets and throws, I'll definitely have to try that offer out for sure, thanks!

Great advice thank you! We are flying the Vegas this summer then driving this route. Do you have recommendations where to fill up good drinking water without buying plastic water bottles? We are staying at Bumbleberry Inn, Rubys Inn and then Moab RV Park (cabin). Thanks so much!

A s’mores blanket!

I kept insisting in the hiking boots for my husband, now that we watched your videos, he said….see! I don’t need hiking boots! A good tennis shoes will do it! 🤣🤣🤣 he didn’t listen to me, but he did listen to you guys🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for the video. It’s extremely useful as I plan to do a solo trip of the grand circle in June. May I ask a few questions please? Being from the uk I’m not completely familiar with how the parks work. Do they have water fountains at the park for refilling water bottles? Is there any areas of the parks that has loose sand in dangerous areas where tennis/running shoes might be a bad idea? Is the tap water drinkable at most hotels in those areas so that i could fill water bottles before leaving? And lastly, what is the situation with needing the toilet in these parks while on a hike? I imagine with drinking all that water loo breaks are frequent 😆 Thanks so much Steve

Hi! We're planning a trip late March early April with our four kids. We'll be going to all 5 plus Hoover Dam, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and the Grand Canyon! I'm kind of confused on what to pack for them. Do you think they'll be hiking in shorts and tank tops at all? Or mostly pants? We definitely plan on early morning hikes.. do you think they need a fleece jacket or just a windbreaker would be warm enough? Trying to cut out what we don't need and maximize space while packing for six people! We're flying in from the East Coast so definitely used to cooler temps. Thanks again for your videos and all your help!!

You guys are awesome, but recommending Cotton is a no no, once your sweat dries, you can chill bad. have you tried wicking shirts to pull sweat away from body? Keep bringing these amazing videos! Happy Trails!

Hello! We are heading to Arches and Canyonlands at end of June. Are there a lot of bugs at those two parks? Wondering if I should pack bug spray. Thanks!

What is the place that you show at 15:02 on this video. I’m hoping it’s in Zion or Bryce. It is so beautiful!

Which route did you take to Fruita. We would be driving a class c with a jeep from kanab Utah.
