Amazing Finds in the Middle of Nowhere

In this video—the second of a two-part series of a two-day trip I went on—I continue to explore some extremely remote and rarely visited areas in the desert west of Salt Lake City, Utah. I promise you haven’t seen this stuff before. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

This Was WAAAY Off the Beaten Path

This is the first of a two-video series of a two-day trip I did last November. The goal was to visit some very obscure places that are surprisingly close to civilization, and it was probably the best 2-day trip I’ve ever done. (Click here if you don’t see the video below.)

You’ve Got to See These Mountains!

This video contains footage from two big dayhikes I went on a week apart in September 2017. Both hikes involved climbing a couple of the 11,000-foot peaks in northern Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. These were very long days in some of the most beautiful mountains in Utah. The scenery is incredible. Enjoy! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Cost of a 2-Week Car Camping Road Trip

This quick video goes over the cost breakdown of the 13-day SUV RVing trip to southern Utah and western Colorado that I went on last October. (The trip is chronicled in this series of YouTube videos.) Let me know if you have any questions, and click here if you can’t see the video below.

Yes, this week’s video is super short, but next week’s is 45 minutes long to make up for it 🙂

NOW WHAT DO I DO?

In this video I drive the spectacular drive along the San Miguel and Dolores Rivers in far western Colorado and then try to figure out what exactly I want to do in Grand Junction. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Exploring 1000-Year Old Ruins in Utah and Colorado

In this video I spend a day checking out a bunch of Native American ruins in southeastern Utah and then western Colorado. I also have several wildlife encounters of the reptilian kind and see a bunch of petroglyphs (and a couple of pictographs). (Click here if you can’t see the vide below.)
