Nevada’s Secret National Park Has a Glacier?! | Come Along With Jewasity PART 1

Heat. [Music] Heat. Good morning. It's about 4:00 a.m. I'm here with my friend Yoshi. Yoshi picked us up. We're going to the airport to Philly. And here, Yoshi, talk to them. >> So, we're about an hour away from the airport right now, Philadelphia International Airport, and we're looking very forward to a beautiful adventure in the American West. >> Yes. And keep your eyes on the road. >> Yes. [Music] All [Music] right, so we landed in Las Vegas, Nevada. And we are going to Great Basin National Park, which is around 5 hours north of Las Vegas. And on the way, we are stopping at So, we're going to Canarville, Utah. Making a little detour because there's a beautiful hike called Canar Falls that we can't wait to hike, which we'll do that today, but it's going to be an incredible hike. Something that we both know about and we really enjoy. >> Yes. Yes. Looking forward to that one very much. And I don't know if you can see very well, but look at the views. It's just driving by it. Beautiful. [Music] Well, on the way to Baker, we're passing Zion. So, let's make a quick stop. [Music] We are here at Zion National Park. We're at which side are we? We're in the north side of Zion National Park, Colop Canyon. It's a very uh unknown part of Zion National Park and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. And uh we're doing a very short hike right now. Just a quick stop on our way to Great Basin National Park in Nevada. This hike is about 1.1 miles. And Yasi, what do you see? Tell me, describe the view. >> I think they can see it in the background. Check this out. >> It's absolutely absolutely insane. Like, okay, it's hot. It's sweaty. You need to bring a lot of water. But but wow. All right. Yi, we just hiked a scenic overlook at the north side of Zion National Park. We both have been by both sides. Now, what is your experience? What is your What's the difference to you? >> There's a massive difference. The southern part of Zion National Park, which is where most people go and know about, is slam-packed. They didn't even allow cars. Did you go with the bus when you went to Z National Park? >> No. So, I stayed in the cabins >> within the national park. >> Yes. So, I had access with my car, but most people didn't. >> Correct. Most people go with the bus. I went with the bus cuz I stayed outside of the national park. And it was chaos. Absolute chaos. Right now, you can pan around. You'll see nobody's here. This is like >> literally no one's here. >> Like we can scream. No, there's nobody here. >> Nobody's here. >> And this is what I like. Me and Yasi appreciate nature. We appreciate Hashem's creation of the world. And hiking to places like this where you don't see a lot of people. You see just Hashem's so beautiful. >> Now, we did feel a little bit shortness of breath. >> Yes, a little bit. That is because we're about 6,000 ft above sea level right now. And of course, >> we're not acclimated today, >> right? We're sea level creatures, let's put it that way. And we're not used to this kind of elevation, but tomorrow we'll go even higher. So, we'll see how we acclimate. >> Yes. After drinking a lot of cold water. >> Yes. >> All right. Catch you later. [Music] All right. Now, we took another detour on our way to Baker and uh we stopped at Canaro Falls. It's about a 3- four mile hike. Some beautiful waterfalls and some water crossings. This, for example, is one of them. We especially >> we especially brought like uh sneakers that can get wet and uh yeah, let's see how it goes. >> Very exciting. [Music] Now we're basically walking through the valley in a stream at the bottom of the valley. Check it out. We have over here. Here you have the stream. We're walking through the valley. This is beautiful. [Music] So, uh, Yassi, how do you like this hike in Canar Falls, Utah. >> This is a very refreshing hike. >> It is. The water is cold. >> The water is cold. The sun is hot. >> Yes. >> Temperature is nice and like perfect comfort. >> We're scrambling through all the rocks. Let me show you guys what we're looking at here. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Yassi, what are you doing? >> I'm trying to buy some gold. >> Some gold? Well, good luck. >> Think this will work? >> Let me see. >> Little light. [Applause] >> Well, it's definitely fool's gold. >> A gold freckle. >> Look at that. A little gold freckle. I think we're >> I officially think we're >> We made it. >> We made it. This is it. So, we're driving here on the way to Baker Kurt, Nevada, and look what we found. There's cows in the road. There's one little calf right in the middle of the road. Okay, we just arrived at our hotel room, the whispering elms. It's What time is it? >> It is 10:14. >> So, why are we Why are we whispering? >> I don't know. Why we Let's go check it out. >> Not bad. >> Okay. >> So, a little villagers. >> For a town of 40 people, it's not bad. It looks pretty newish. >> See what we have. So, I'm staying in the futon. I promise you I'll see the nice big bed. >> Joan is staying on this on the couch like he's punished, >> right? >> I'm going to have to go bed tonight. >> Let's see what else we have. >> Uh, we have a nice little >> microwave situation. Fine. [Music] Good morning from Baker, Nevada. We have Yi cooking breakfast today. >> Good morning. I'm making a cheese omelette. Tell me what we're going to do today in the morning. >> So today we are driving up to 10,000 ft by car. We are going to be hiking about a 6 and a half mile hike to see Nevada's only glacier and we're going to see the oldest trees in the world called Brisl Pines. They go back >> Wait, wait, wait, wait. You said glacier. >> Yes. >> In in the desert. >> In the desert in Nevada. Yes. >> And there's going to be some ice and some snow and >> and low key those cooking skills are not bad. Yes. Yeah. A little overheated at the moment. So, I'm going to turn that off cuz I'm basically done. >> Wow. Okay, fine. >> It's going to be beautiful. Beautiful hiking. Looking forward to it. >> I'm I'm just My eyes my eyes are locked right now. I don't know. You >> look at the beautiful Do you see the mountain right there? >> I think so. >> But our mountains are going to be that direction, but you can't really see them now cuz they're behind those mountains. >> This is like hotel. This hotel has like five rooms and there's like two hotels in the whole town >> of like 45 people. >> Yes. >> All right. Good morning. So, we are driving up the road of Great Basin National Park to Wheeler Peak Cra Campground. >> Yes, we are driving up to the campground. It's an elevation of just over 10,000 ft. And we're going to hike to the only glacier in Nevada. And we're going to hike uh through the oldest trees in the world, the Bristol Con pine trees. And we're going to see three two or three alpine lakes depending on what route we take on the hike. And the scenery is beautiful. We have uh pine trees and aspen trees. Ironically, Nevada, which is a desert state, the driest state in the United States on average, has aspen trees, kind of like Colorado would have. And the scenery is like right here we have the basins. You can see the valleys are called the basins here. And they're beautiful. [Music] Hiking can be difficult, but you know what shouldn't be?

You're welcome. >> Good morning. >> Good. I'm still holding on to the ice coffee as long as I can. >> Yes, we got a we had coffee this morning. We had a omelette breakfast and now we're hitting the trail. We're doing about a seven mile hike, a little more than seven miles. Um, we are going to the only glacier, Nevada, and we're going to see uh two alpine lakes. The scenery is beautiful. We're right now at about 10,200 ft above sea level and we're going to see incredible views. This hike will take us about 4 and 1/2 hours. We're breathing heavily because we're over 10,000 ft in elevation. And uh, of course, the higher you go, the thinner the air, the oxygen, the less oxygen there is. So now we are we're not struggling. We're doing pretty. How would you How do you feel? >> Yeah, I'm okay. >> We're doing okay. >> I feel it. [Music] We're heading towards the first lake called Stella Lake. Um, I can't wait to see it. Based on all trails, it should be right up this little uh ridge right here. >> Right up here. Right. >> The mountain in Yeah. The mountain in the backdrop is Wheeler Peak, the second tallest peak in Nevada. And we are headed around to the only glacier in Nevada. Also, the Brisl pine trees. There are all the trees. >> The wind. It's so It's like it's open. >> Yes. And it's quite chilly. It's about 60 maybe. Beautiful weather. It's kind of like you would say sickest even colder than sickest probably. It's like November weather almost late October. And uh Stella Lake should be somewhere. Oh wow. >> Look at that beautiful nicer than I expected. >> Wow. This is >> Let me show you. >> Stella Lake. Stella Lake. Technically it's actually a tarn. A tarn is basically glacier fed. So and snow melt. So basically what you see there, those are 12 and 13,000 foot peaks and snow gradually melts including the glacier gradually melts into this lake. Um it's not very big now, but of course it recedes as the summer months pass. Sorry. >> Well, this is melted snow. >> Yep. This is basically fed by melted snow and ice. Yes. That's why technically even though it's called S Lake, it's actually a tarn if you want to be more specific. But it's beautiful. The color is very clear. Look how transparent it is. Really clear water. Absolutely beautiful scenery. I can pan again. So you have Doso Dyabi, one of the peaks, and you have Wheeler Peak, which is the big one right there. That's Wheeler Peak. It's absolutely beautiful. So, we're hiking up to the Bristol Pine Grove Trail and uh >> it's getting real rough now. >> It is quite difficult. >> The sun, the oxygen, the >> seat belts. >> We're over 10,300 ft. So, we're doing fine. It's just we're we feel kind of like we're running a marathon, right? >> Feels like we've been hiking for a few miles. Yeah. These are the oldest trees in the world. I'm going to be getting to the interactive area where you'll see signs and different ages of trees. But these trees, this is of course dead ones. They die and they decay extremely slow. They're very solid. They contain very little moisture. And the reason is because it's a very harsh climate and they grow really slow and it's quite dry. Look at this incredible view. I'm right now about 10,500 ft above sea level. And uh what you see down there is of course the the Great Basin. The Great Basin stretches parts of Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, and Idaho. [Music] So, finally me and Yasi made it to the interactive trail of the Bristol cone pines. Let's see what this one says. Science and bristle cone. This is of course a dead one. Yes. You want to give it a knock? Give it a knock like you're knocking on someone's door. >> What does it feel like? Solid. This is solid. >> Is that like a thick man? >> Very little moisture. Here you have signs with the bristle cone. Bottom line is that between three and 5,000 year old trees, but uh look at all these. This is a dead bristle comb pine. Over here you have a live one. And you notice the way they're very they're very uh in a sense they're like half dead and half alive. As you can see, as I pan up, some branches are dead. Yes. You want to give them give it a touch. The actual bristle com. What does it feel like? Is it rough? Is it >> Yeah, it's pretty rough. >> It's quite >> It's like a thick rough heavy. >> Wow. >> Yeah. >> Some of these trees are >> This tree doesn't play any games. >> Yi, look at this. >> Wow. This is one problem. Look at this. The detail in here. This is a dead bristle comb pine tree. Who knows how old these trees really are. If you can see it, come the camera. Um over there is the snow. This is the the rock glacier in Great Basin National Park. As you can see over there, it's elevated the rocks because it's fully ice underneath. It's one big ice glacier and you have the snow behind. Um we're going to try to go a little closer and get better videos and and see it better. But this is the full view. It's it's really beautiful. So, I'm heading up to the end of the trail. It's a very difficult trail to head to the only glacier in Nevada. Let me pan back. I had to hike all of this rocks. Very rocky terrain. Look at the beautiful mountain peaks up there. Yasi stayed back just a little bit to rest up and to take care of some footage. with the that uh straight down there is the Great Basin. We're about 10,500 ft above sea level. The mountains you see are between 12 and 13,000 foot peaks. And let me show you the glacier. It's my first time here. So, you guys are coming with me to the end of the hike. I see some snow there. Wow, look at that. Absolutely beautiful. But I'm right here. walking on snow in Nevada in Augusta. It's incredible. Incredible influ to see such an incredible phenomenon in a state that is so known to be hot and dry. Here it is, Schneai. So, I'll head back. We got to head back. We got some other stuff to do. [Music] This is a slot canyon. I literally feel like I traveled to a different planet. And speaking of travel, are you heading to Israel? If yes, don't stress. Literally one call, just one, and it's all handled. From your house, anywhere in the world to the airport, Tripley handles everything. Stocked apartments, rental cars, attractions, SIM cards, food, and even a private chef or any concier service. Americanstyle service, Israeli pricing, so it's smooth, affordable, and not just for VIPs, unless you want to feel like one. One call, everything you need. Israel made easy. Yeah, that's good. >> Okay, so we're about to enter Leaving Cave >> and let's see what they have to offer. >> We got to give the card wherever the camera is here. >> Thank you. Thank you. Entering Lehman Cave, Great Basin National Park. Thank you, sir. Look at that. Look how far it even goes up there. Beautiful. Good photos. But a couple things first. This path here, there's no hand on the left. And if you fall in it is going to hurt very bad. uh it's created this round shield on top but underneath it is a whole lot of secondary growth. So the shield was fully formed, but water kept dripping and flowing down underneath it and it created this this formation that we call drapery because it looks like a curtain. Yes, as you can see, no light, natural light in here whatsoever. Uh life in here had to adapt to complete darkness. The bats in here use echolocation to find their way around. other insects who use their sense of touch, their feel, sense of feel. The packrats in here that stole his turkey jerky would find their way around with smell. They create basic and that water will come out of the crack and form a welt. So, we're at the Leman Cave Visitor Center in Great Basin National Park, and we just finished the Leman Cave tours. And the uh fruit trees you see here were planted by the person that found the Leman Caves. His name is Mr. Leman. This is an apple tree. Yes. You want to attempt to pick one? One of the low apples. >> This is how the whole world started. >> It is. Oh, you're right. Here we go. >> There you go. An apple right there. Let me show you guys the uh This is pear. >> This a pear tree. They're not ripe yet, I think. >> Yeah. He said you don't have to Well, you shouldn't picked No, these are apples still. >> Oh, >> is it apples or pears? No, this is pears. >> But the leaves are different. This is a pear tree. >> That's a pear tree. >> And I could show you the apricot trees. >> Then, right anymore. Exactly. These are Africa trees right here. >> Uhoh. Use the one behind the more rounded leaves. >> Yeah, right there. Okay, y'all see. So, we did uh two pretty interesting things today. We did the uh rock glacier hike and we just came out of Leman Cave. Let's speak about Rock Glacier hike first. What tell uh tell me what you experienced. >> Okay. Well, first of all, it was very interesting because it's it it it's a mixture of different environments like all put into one. So, you have, let's say, the the forest aspect, you have the glacier, you have the desert, >> you have the oldest trees of the world. You have so much there. >> Y >> and it was a really tough hike. Let's not >> It was 7 and 12 miles. >> 10,000. No, it was over 10,000 ft. over 10,000 ft. >> And we used the oxygen thing. >> Yes. So the little uh sports the sports oxygen tank. It was well worth it. We went to the glacier. Uh I would say that hike to the actual glacier is difficult. But anybody that does a little prepping perhaps could do it like you know just make sure you work out a little bit or maybe >> go on some hiking before. I think anybody that could do that definitely through the hike. But a lot of people actually stopped at the Bristol Cone Pine Grove and did not go to the actual glacier cuz it was very difficult for like uh 2 m further but 25 miles >> and also difficulty like boulders and uh rocks and just elevation. >> I myself couldn't get to the last stretch. I was too exhausted. You went a little further than me but but I did get to the glaciers. >> Yes, >> it was it was beautiful. >> It was absolutely beautiful and incredible. Hashem's creation is >> it's not normal. Even driving now it's crazy. [Music] All right, we're going to taste those sausages. Let's see if he knows what he's doing. Those are good.
