In this video I leave southwest Utah and cross into Nevada to explore the barren desert landscape there. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

I mention the Coleman 52 qt. Xtreme Cooler (Amazon affiliate link) in the video.

In this video I continue exploring the highlands of the Markagunt Plateau in southwestern Utah. I hike up a mountain, try and fail to hike to another spot, explore Cedar Breaks National Monument, drive one of the highest roads in Utah, have a couple of wildlife encounters, and make some dinner from a gorgeous camp on the edge of a meadow. Whew! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I start exploring southwestern Utah’s Markagunt Plateau. I check out a couple of caves, hike a short trail to a really neat waterfall that emerges from a cave, and more! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.

In this video I leave southern Utah’s Capitol Reef National Park and set out to find an obscure and difficult-to-access (but very pretty) waterfall called Sand Creek Falls. I then steer my trusty RAV4 southward and drive up onto the Markagunt Plateau, a forested, high-elevation plateau east of Cedar City, Utah. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I finish up Capitol Reef National Park’s Cathedral Valley Loop, something that has been on my Utah bucket list for years. I check out the Morrell Cabin, the Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Moon, Glass Mountain, and more! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I start the 60-ish mile Cathedral Valley Loop through southern Utah’s Capitol Reef National Park. I drive across a river, come across an old abandoned truck, and drive through some truly epic desert landscapes before finding a buggy campsite on national forest land.

Learn more about the drive here. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I explore Buckhorn Draw, a canyon in Utah’s San Rafael Swell area. I check out a ton of petroglyphs, some pictographs, a natural arch, a Native American ruin, a dinosaur footprint, and more! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Sorry for the delay in getting a video out, but good internet access has been difficult to come by on this trip! In this video I head to central Utah’s Little Grand Canyon and promptly break my main video camera. Great. I also cook up a couple of easy meals. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

I leave tomorrow on a monthlong road trip and couldn’t be more excited! In this video I talk a bit about the trip, and I also ask for your input on places I should see and things I should do along the way, particularly in northern California (east of I-5), southeastern Oregon, and southern Idaho. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video—the second of a two-part series, the first one being here)—I take my little inflatable raft up to a high mountain lake and then hike up a mountain, giving me some incredible views of the Great Salt Lake and more. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)
