Re: Horseshoe bend Arizona
There's a word I've noticed has recently been used quite inappropriately most of the time, applied to fairly mundane daily stuff.
I prefer to reserve its use as originally defined for truly awe-inspiring things, like great cathedrals for example.
Your videos show quite clearly that the Grand Canyon is one of the most deserving of its use:
AWESOME!
Thanks for sharing this with us and for the shout-out you gave to the forum.

Re: Horseshoe bend Arizona
Have to echo the comments above of awesome
I've not been to the Grand Canyon but some friends have and shown me videos of their visit and yours put a 'tin hat' on them
If I ever get to visit, then this would be the way I'd like to experience its 'awesomeness'
Fantastic viewing mate, especially in 4K
...... loved the F-RibsandSibs 'shout out' btw
(ps. hope you didn't mind me embedding your videos for you)

Re: Horseshoe bend Arizona
Great to see someone else's adventures gwozhog ..and it looks an outstanding place to have one.
I'm sure you could have done without the police chapters in your story
But they make for good reading and are all part of the adventure.
Looking forward to more

Re: Horseshoe bend Arizona
Greetings Gwozog,
simply stunning...
(Especially in 4k). Great to see the edge of the canyon had no "nanny state" safety barriers at the viewpoint. Quite a few of my kayaking friends have paddled Lee's Ferry to Diamond Creek but needed to get a permit a long time in advance. Do you need to get a permit to go upstream from Lee's Ferry?

Re: Horseshoe bend Arizona
Nope you just pay for a parking pass from a vending machine. 55 dollars was the cost for a weeks pass.
I once dated a girl in High School and her Father told me I would never amount to anything. He was right!
