Where is the grand canyons located
This Place is AMAZING! | Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
hey team for the next week I'm gonna be
spending my time here in Arizona
specifically at the Grand Canyon as well
as some other really amazing hot spots
with the Sony team I am part of the Sony
Alpha team and I'm here with other
amazing photographers and videographers
and we're going to be exploring this
area right now we're staying at the
Yavapai Lodge for a couple of nights and
exploring the Grand Canyon I'm so pumped
I am currently walking the room trail on
my way to see the Grand Canyon the Grand
Canyon I have never seen it before it's
on my bucket list I feel like it's on
everyone's bucket list so I'm super
super pumped to be here you're
approaching incredible view
I'm often asked the question how do you
balance between filming and taking
photos and actually just really enjoying
the moment for yourself and you travel
this is what idea I first see something
I put down the cameras I have it out or
I just don't bring it out at all and I
really soak in the experience that first
moment sometimes will actually have the
camera on and I'll kind of like have it
to my side so I'm not focusing looking
in the camera it's just kind of like a
little little parrot on my shoulder just
watching the view as I am but most of
the time I'll just take in that first
moment for myself and then I'm able to
share and reflect with my experience
with you guys afterwards so many times
people come to locations like this and
they don't even really look got it
really soak it in to get the full
experience just be present and that's it
just sit and be present and appreciate
[Applause]
[Music]
waking up at 4 a.m. is totally worth it
when you get to see now I'm gonna stop
this time last I'll take some photos
because the light is just experience
it's awesome little nippy this morning
but worth getting for them absolutely so
many good job look at that lens oh yeah
100 it up the compression of this is
unbelievable and yeah what a perspective
zooming in trying to get the sense of
scale of this place play yeah nothing
does it justice you'll see behind me
there is a pyramid like rock formation
it's called Vishnu it's named after the
indian god vishnu and all these other
specific rock formations scattered along
behind me are named after Indian gods
what I just learned that's super cool
about the Grand Canyon in specific areas
different rock formations are named
after different gods of different
religions so it's celebrating all
different types of religion
[Music]
we're hiking the stunning
Kaibab trail which means Mountain lying
down in the piling which is one of the
tribal languages from the tribes people
that live here and I mean wow the colors
aren't real there's like reds oranges
and yellows and browns and purples and
magentas and greens and oh it's like a
photograph or a photographer
photographer and videographers dream
[Music]
okay so here we have some fossils in the
side of the Grand Canyon this is called
a brachiopod right here looks like a
seashell you can also see what are
called sea sponges these are basically
ancient coral reef that are now 7,000
feet above the surface of the oceans
crazy to think that this was below water
these rocks were actually underwater and
here's the proof right here just to give
you guys a perspective like look how
high up we are and this all used to be
underwater this rock here is about 265
million years old but the rock down
there is 1.7 billion years old that's
like a third of the Earth's age it's
been here for so long and knows so much
it seems so much have you found any
dinosaurs so I've never found a dinosaur
fossil here in the Grand Canyon yeah but
when I work for the Park Service in
what's called the Petrified Forest
National Monument we found what's called
adlai Pass or stair which is one of the
very beginning or very first dinosaurs
they were very small they were kind of
like a little mini t-rex so they had
little arms and big legs and big teeth
for a little dinosaur
this dinosaur in Jurassic Park it is so
if you've seen Jurassic Park it's where
Newman from Seinfeld is trying to escape
the island with all the embryos and that
little dinosaur comes up with the
and we found it in a dry wash when I was
walking the dry wash GPS sings what are
called tamara trees the partner i left
actually tripped and fell over the
tailbone no this is the lipo soros that
was sticking up out of the ground
and we got to dig it all out and put it
into a plaster cast and help the park
paleontologists put it onto the flatbed
truck and everything we got it all right
so we got a bear slingshot check the
wind here for the bears and we got a
volunteer
[Laughter]
Native Americans dangers we're heading
out doused rooms pulling right now baby
it's getting bumpy a little bit here
[Music]
we're in this crazy adventure mobile
that's the only way you can get through
this desert is so bumpy probably not the
best thing for me to be in right now
with the baby in my belly and I have to
pee too as you can see I'm not in the
vehicle because it's so freakin bumpy
and I really don't want to be in there
pregnant so I'm walking also the benefit
of the others ahead means I can pee and
no one's gonna see so excuse me
why do that so after that hour and a
half of stream bumpiness this is where
we arrived not bad not bad it's actually
incredibly stunning
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]

I've ever seen honestly I feel so small
I'm like 63 and just standing here I
feel so humbled absolutely amazing

isn't this just like a photographer's
dream all the textures and yeah it's so
amazing like it's it's kind of
overwhelming like I don't even know
