We hiked Lower Maidenwater last weekend. We loved the canyon but I understand why it isn't more popular. You have to hike about a mile in before it turns awesome and then the last 3 miles are also just alright. But the main section of the canyon was really cool!

This section was especially cold:

Yup -- "Blocked in this country due to copyright grounds."


Did you start lecturing your kiddos on the virtues of maintaining and preserving your 2nd Amendment rights or something? :ne_nau:

I can watch it via VPN if I route it through Romania. They probable just think I'm a Russian Oligarch conspiring with Trump. :lol8:

Awesome video edit Dan!

Can I have permission to use this video at my work? I’m the captain of a work hiking club and I get lots of questions about kid hikes. I’ve given them plenty and I forgot all about maidenwater. I haven’t done it in about 10 years ago and forgot how cool it is, especially for kids.

Fun video. Music is my number one headache when producing videos. I had to resort to a paid subscription to royalty free libraries.

Help yourself.

Just a reminder, there is little to no shade for the last 3 miles. So remind people to bring plenty of water (maybe a water filter) and try to avoid the middle of the day during the Summer.

It took us about 5 hours (4.75 hours to more precise).
