I don't know if you read these comments any longer, but I wanted you to know the immense joy your videos bring me. I've watched a few here and there, and now have decided to watch them through from the beginning. I hope to one day be able to travel the country the way you guys get to, but until then I will enjoy seeing it through your lens.

I love you let your kids be kids!

Well, this was just spectacular. “A lot of options” pretty much describes it. The voice-over by Trish was a very nice addition, with a lot of useful information. Caleb’s outsized personality cannot be contained within this one channel. The boy needs a bigger stage. Thanks for taking us along.

I've following you folks for over a year and I'm finally starting at the beginning of your adventures. Its been very enjoyable to watch your evolution as a family and as tour guides across the country. Looking forward in following in your footsteps. Thank you.

Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

Zion looks gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!

I've started all over, from the emptying of the house onward. Constantly smiling! Then laughed out loud: "It's the riverside walk. I think that means you walk along the river." But, you know, even in this very beginning you all had that right stuff to grow KYD into what it is today!

I admire the effort you guys put into these videos.

How much fun!! You guys are great!! And wow beautiful views and story telling. Love it.

Thanks for sharing your journey! Setting this one reminds me why I am hoping/planning on being out there with my wife in a year.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the voice over nt. at end!!! Wow good shots loved it !!! I will go someday.

I've been to Zion and Bryce National Parks. They are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I am "binge watching" and started with season one.

I am really enjoying watching your videos. I wish I had taken my family to some of these parks when I and they were young. To late for this old man.

amazing

"Riverside walk, I think that means you walk along the river" Hmmm good call LOL💗

Love the family-dynamics! You are all pleasent (and fun) to listen to and you make interesting and beutiful movies! Great job!

Ahh the narrows! We just did that, could have stayed forever, need to go back and devote a whole day to that hike.

I had to look your up just to say: This video include the coolest ranger dude I have ever heard in my life! Worth watching all your videos. lol. I loved him. Ecosystem, yeah, dude!

Wow, that is sooo awesome! I almost feel like I was there, but not quite. I've seen it before in other videos but your video allowed me to see and even feel some of the grandeur and wonder of the place. It's definitely on my bucket list now. It's funny I'm not as interested in the Grand Canyon. I saw it once when I was a kid. But this place is magnificent. Great video. Your daughter does a wonderful job narrating. She's good.

Love the "candid" interview at the end! Beautiful video, really nice voice over too. I'm enjoying these and will do a cross country journey soon. Thanks!

If you go back, I recommend partaking in the 1/2 day horseback ride through the park. May be a bit too pricey with a family but WHAT FUN THAT WAS! :) I can't wait to see what you guys have to say about Bryce--it is the most incredible terrain I have ever encountered, truly like being on another planet.

We have it easy, but Maddie likes to sleep 22 hrs per day being 16 (at the time). But most of the time we're in RV parks with elec. and have the AC on. But the weather is so nice at most of the places we visit, the trailer stays cool. We have to wake her up when we get back because she can't hear us when we get home :)

You guys are too funny, :) When we visited Zion last year we couldn't hike the narrows because of flash flooding, a real bummer. The mistake we made was not realizing that the tunnel closed to oversized vehicles at 6pm, we stayed till 7! Our Dodge 1ton duly was considered oversized and our travel trailer was just on the other side of the tunnel. This resulted in a 2 1/2 hour drive around the park, another bummer. But we totally loved Zion. How do you like your travel trailer? My husband and I are wanting to buy one similar to the layout of what you have, a Forest River Vibe 272bhs.

@KeepYourDaydream

7 жыл бұрын

Oh wow! What a bummer. We are so lucky we called to ask for directions and she said, "are you coming through the tunnel". Tunnel??? Do you still have the 1ton duly? I'm fairly disappointed in the quality of our trailer. I know they are all made cheep, but if I were to buy again, I'd get a 5th wheel so I can walk around the bed. Making the bed is difficult 2 person job. And I would make sure to have slide-toppers to avoid any leaks on the slides and a fiberglass front wind breaker. All that will be more money, but those features will also have other upgrades to go with it. I'd also buy used so the previous owner fixed all the low hanging fruit :) and get their improvements. We made the right call on not getting the outdoor kitchen. We much prefer to have a second door and access to the bathroom from 2 sides. If you must get a travel trailer, 31 feet opens up a whole new level of bunk house with beds on each side making another room. If you don't have the budget, it doesn't matter. Doing what you can NOW and better than perfect LATER! :)

Yes, I still have my duly but I use it to pull a 4 horse slant goose neck. I'd love a 5th wheel but haven't found a hitch that can safely switch back and forth. I've heard conflicting stories. The FR Vibe 272bhs is 34' with double bed sized bunks and has a walk around queen bed. It also has an outdoor kitchen and the second door is on the opposite side of the trailer going into the bathroom! I have to keep duly because of the horses but I would like a full-sized SUV to pull the travel trailer. My husband always buy used vehicles but I really want to purchase the TT new. But that will have to wait for now, hopefully we get setup before we head to Yellowstone in the next year or so. Happy and safe Travels

Angela Grant look at the Andersen Ultimate hitch. I also have a gooseneck ball in the back of my truck for my horse trailer. Andersen Ultimate hitches only weigh 70lbs (for the steel) and 40lbs (for the aluminum) and take 5 minutes to install or remove from the bed of the truck. The design of the hitch means you're pulling the camper from the same angle and level as a standard fifth-wheel hitch so you don't put the normal undue stress on the frame as other GN (non-recommended) converters do.

Bryce is amazing. Like ah-mazing... but there is no question that Zion is the right choice. Here's why. The grandness and scale of Zion is magical. There are endless hikes and driving through the tunnels will be memorable. The camping is easy if your stay in the park or you can stay at Zion River Ranch just outside the park like we did. I loved Bryce for the Mt. Biking and hiking. It's amazing... like the Grand Canyon, but it may not blow you away like I know Zion will :)

@KeepYourDaydream

7 жыл бұрын

You're going to love it. What kind of rig? I don't recall the mountains in the west to be a problem. Unlike the east, the roads are big and mostly two lanes so you can just go slow and steady in the right lane. I recall our steepest grade was going out the East gate of Yellowstone headed toward Buffalo was the steepest longest grade. I put kept the truck in 3rd gear about 45mpg and 3,000 rpms and held it steady. I could have easily gone 60, but like to keep the rpm's under 4,000. When climbing, I change my screen to transmission temp and keep a close eye when it gets above 210. In regards to Zion, you saw in the video that you have to go around the mountain if you're an RV over a certain length. You can't go through the tunnels. Those were the steep areas. Getting from Zion to Bryce had some grades, but they were only a few miles at a time and not that bad. Again, 2 lanes so you can go slow. And even if you hold up traffic...so be it!

From Bryce, we would go 389 clockwise around Zion (like you did) entering Springdale on the SW side. goo.gl/maps/P2G9efhYR2B2

I'm familiar. We've had the truck. Isn't it a 6.0? Should do fine. I recall my Denali pulling a big sluggish in the hills. I think the gear ratio is different for Yukon XL's as they are for trucks. I'll check out your map. Out of ALL the travel we did in the states, Zion is on our short list to return. Make time for the Narrows. We wish we would have rented the suits to walk up the canyon. We really wanted to do Angels Landing, but Trish was worried about the boys and the narrow path and heights. Zion River Ranch was the way to go - right outside the park and I recall not that expensive. Bryce was amazing. Wish we would have done some hiking there too. Enjoy. Post pics on IG with the @KeepYourDaydream or on fbook.

Thanks - Yukon XL with a 6.2L pulling a 30' trailer - ultralight for its size, but can be challenging for us on hills. We are Maryland flatlanders planning a 3 wk trip out west and back. I think I saw the solution to my avoiding-hills question on your Slot Canyon video - from Bryce, we'll avoid tunnel route to Zion (we're over 50'), head clockwise around the south side of Zion on 389, and enter Springdale from the SW. We're trying several routes to see the "grand circle" in about 10 days...but our route looks more like "grand spaghetti"...LOTS of ground to cover in the southwest.

Killer looking route. When you're in Page, AZ there are two tour companies to see Annalope Slot Canyons (one is called Ken's I think). They get full fast so you'll likely need reservations. We didn't want to go with 100 people, so we opted to find our own slot canyons on the way Zion... but going with the Indian tour companies is worth the pictures! Unreal pics. Far better than you could get where we went, although it was nice to be nearly alone. The Damn tour is cool too if you haven't done it. I did it as a kid. Now that they have the bridge that spans the Caynon it's even more impressive.

Hi Marc, What are you towing the trailer with? What's the spec on the truck? Does a 4x4 better than a 2x4? Thanks

I pull it with a '13 Ford F-150 with the large 6.2L engine. Fuel econ is only 9mpg. I've heard good things about the Aluminum Eco Boost. Only 4 cylinders, but exceptional towing power (so I've heard). I don't know the specs of my truck, but I know I'm under my towing capacity. I'm 15,750 total and the trailer fully loaded is 9,200. If I were to do it again I would buy a Ford 350, but we wanted to do this trip with what we had... so we did :)

Yeah, not great BUT... we still spend less on fuel than we do in the States.

It will be really helpful if you could mention the date and time of your travels, preferably towards the beginning of the video. Most of the travel videos do not do this and hence do not provide a reference to the seasons. It will be helpful for the prospective travelers to get an understanding of the conditions.
