If you go to Arches or Bryce canyon it's best to start at the back of the park and work your way toward the park entrance. It's less crowded this way.
Inspirational, and I have done most of the Grand Loop 3x over the past 50 years. Remarkable job, your narrative was key to this project.
Thank you for your video!
Saving this for future reference. Great information. Curious as to why someone would down vote this.
Very well done. I have been to most of them as well. Great places to visit.
Hi there, we are headed to Salt Lake City next month to visit the the 5 popular national park and we have 5 to do that, since we are going to Yellowstone stone first. We are not sure if 5 days are enough to visit all 5 parks, but if worst case scenario we will have to skip Zion instead in order to complete most of it. Can you advise rather it’s wise to head straight down south or best to start south East from Arches to Bryce and Zion? How long do you think Arches NP is required and if Canyonlands can be comfortable squeezed in 1 day? I have a 10-24mm wide angel lens, 18-250mm and a 75-300mm lens. Should I bring all or just 2? Any tips for Yellowstone NP or maybe you haven’t made one? I was checking out all your videos, but couldn’t find it.
so good, thank you
Thank you for the excellent film ! We saw some of these out-of-this-world places last year. We're dreaming eye open to go back in a foreseeable future and use some of your recommendations.
The State I was born.not sure why.some of us have No path
Hey! I saw that in a Roadrunner cartoon.
Have they repositioned the 4 corners area as the first attempt was not the correct location?
wonderful tour
Enjoyed every minute of the video. Learning the correct pronunciation of Navajo names is crucial. Can’t wait to move to Arizona in October.
BYOB its a real backwards state.
i love the way you narrate this i wish i could do it and the place is beatiful!
Oh my God – I've been a dozen times in the four corners region and your video is just excellent to cope with my "holiday-homesickness" until traveling to the US from Europe is possible again…
….and I even got some new tips!
Thank you so much!!!!
PS: And definitely never was one of those loud and partying Germans 😉
You should do a comparable video for the State of Colorado. I just moved out there and could use advice about what to see and do that is a little bit more thoughtful than most of the other videos out there.
❤️❤️❤️Thank you for making such a wonderful video
Heads-up:
Be careful to police in Utah. They're hiding everywhere if they see your license plate is not Utah or they have a bad prejudice thought (a bad intention) then they just give you ticket even you're innocent. They know you're not going to be able to contest in court in a small town like Panguitch. They just victimize you by using their authority. I got one and I saw many polices were hiding there after I got this ticket.
This police accused me for speeding in Panguitch town. But he issued this ticket about 7/8miles miles from town on 89 freeway which is 65miles/hour. It's about 1miles from 12- freeway. I didn't see him following me from Panguitch but just recently at the point he issued this ticket.
If he followed me for 7miles? It's a big question mark why he didn't call "back up" or put siren to catch me on 89 highway? Why he tailgate me for 7/8 miles away from town to the point he issued this ticket? It's kind of weird.
Some people said Utah highway 191-6 is also famous for this dirty practices.
Remember: Utah highway 89, Utah highway 191. Avoid staying in small towns in Utah.
I couldn't argue to police officer at that time. But for sure I was innocent. As a 60 years old visitor I had no motives for racing 55miles/hour in town at 35miles/hour sign. As a visitor, slower is better BC I love to see the scenery.
Don't invite people to your state if you're not welcome to visitors and have bad intention to put visitors like me to be victimized by your state's broken system. I should deal with this case while I visited Utah. Utah Tourism is a trap.
How to deal with this case?
It's quite shocking to me that 2/3 of the visitors are European. I intend to go in the few years.
Excellent video. Just the trip I've been looking for. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful video and great information! Really enjoyed it, thanks!
Arches national park is beyond amazing! Dead horse view is fantastic like a dream the colors blend into the snow and red dirt we went at what i believe was the perfect time nice a cool. The snow really brings out the red in the dirt! Make sure you have your yack track feets on slick~*~ love this epic adventure 🙂
Thank you for such a fabulous video! Do you think the later September or early October is a good time to visit?
I am going to be in Salt Lake City in late November. I get into SLC on Sunday night and have to leave Friday morning. I’ve always wanted to see Yellow Stone.. but I’m for suggestions. Any thoughts?
Would it possible to do Shafer trail in a regular non-modified Chevy Suburban 4×4?
This is the best travel video i have ever watched.!!!
And i watch many.
Lack of money has kept me from being an explorer, but i also became crippled 4 yrs ago so even if i won the lottery i could not go – and enjoy – sight seeing this beautiful world.
So i watch posts of other people's adventures (thank you very much).
Through others who generously share their experiences, i get to see some amazing places. However, even though im appreciative, they are often fast shots of scenery but not much indepth knowledge. So i feel i have watched someone's quick pics of a vacation.
Yet i have not seen anything so all-encompassing with rich detail and beautiful video capturing every tiny aspect of a journey as i have in watching this post. I feel that i was on this trip WITH you.
💞💞💞
If you go to Goblin Valley state park, I highly recommend a hike nearby at Little Wild Horse Canyon. It was one of the highlights during our trip through Utah!
The Grand Circle is the most beautiful drive I have ever been on. This is my rating in case you can only do one or two parks. Keep in mind that some of the parks are several miles apart. #1 Zion N.P., #2 Monument Valley, #3 Canyonlands, #4 Arches, #5 Moab and surrounding area and Brice Canyon as #6.
My wife and I would love to come out for a 7-day trip. Either fly into Vegas or Phoenix. Do you suggested itineraries for a 7-day trip?
I wanna go there once 👍🎶🎧🇨🇭
