My sister was screaming out the same thing: longest hike ever.
I was folding laundry while watching so it wasn't bad for me. But watching that hike, it looked like she was afraid of doing somethings and he would kinda do it first leaving her behind. Idk, it was weird. Then he forgets to pack the picnic lunch then proposes to her after a power bar with that corny poem while she's all sweaty and has a huge head wound from another hike in front of tv cameras. Idk, just weird. But I must say, I am thoroughly enjoying the drama between them and Kody & Christine.
shareIt is a long hike, especially for 2 people that are out of shape. Round trip the hike is just under 5 miles. It was painful to watch and listen to during the episode.
shareRound trip the hike is just under 5 miles.
That's not 5 miles on flat land, though. It was up, down, and over things, which makes it a strenuous and tricky hike.
I swear though that the walk over the tree was too dangerous. A slip and your head could easily hit a rock.

From a technical standpoint it is rated as a moderate hike, but you see a lot of families taking the hike, including young kids. I first discovered Kanaraville Falls back in the early 70's when I was going to school in Cedar City.
Throughout the hike there are ups and downs (a total of about 600 feet of vertical gain over the 2.4 miles), with most of the trail either being single track or actually going through the stream bed. The last 3/4 mile is totally in the stream bed through a narrow slot canyon.
In 45 years of hiking this trail, never have I had to climb a tree, cross a stream using a tree, nor have I seen parts of where the nimrod was taking Mykelti and the camera crew. He just didn't want to get his feet wet. For almost half of the hike the trail goes through the creek.
You know what I found more painful than watching them "hike"?! Watching Tony shovel a half pound of lettuce into his pie hole in one bite....
shareOmg is that why I felt like this was the longest episode ever? It felt like 4 hours.
shareYeah, I fast forwarded through those parts too. I kept thinking about the camera man/people that had to go with them. One had to race ahead and stand in the stream (it seemed) to capture their approach. Did they have to climb the tree with the cameras too? How awkward was that proposal while being filmed? She had to have been in on it.
shareI have a feeling that the reason that we see so much of the hike is that it was the camerman's retribution for having to endure the hike.
shareAnother thing which is a little snarky but true is that the Browns talk a lot about the outdoors and we see them in the outdoors, but they are in general obese, overweight or just big. I associate someone who spends a lot of time in the outdoors as being healthy. Why didn't he propose in a restaurant?
shareOr an ice cream shop! They claim to hike a lot, yet neither one of them looks even remotely fit, and watching them hike was nerve racking especially after Mykelti apparently fell and smacked her face on the ground...
shareMaybe part of their relationship goals are to get less schlubby and hiking is part of their fitness routine.

The falls sure looked pretty, I would love to do that hike.
