In this video I visit a national monument and a town that are brand new to me and then head off the beaten path into the nearby mountains. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

* Campsite: I’m not going to give out the coordinates for this one because I’m not entirely sure I was supposed to camp there (or more specifically, drive to this campsite). On the drive out the next morning, I saw a small sign that I didn’t see on the way in that said something about motor vehicles not being allowed on the road I took to get here, even though the road wasn’t blocked or anything, so… 🤷‍♂️
