Tour Utah National Parks: The Mighty 5 & beyond Travel Guide with photography tips

This video is amazingly well done — informative, scenic, comprehensive, super easy to watch. Definitely just became my #1 source for planning my upcoming trip. Thanks for this.

My husband and I went on a tour of the national parks of America. It was wonderful, and the history and geographic splendour will stay with us forever.

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.

FINALLY a photographer who cares enough to teach and share his knowledge and experience. Although I’ve been to most of these parks, I’ve learned a lot and would love to go back. At times some of the video seemed a bit rushed and would have liked a little more information on the sites especially the side tours and smaller parks. An outstanding job. You MUST do more

I grew up in Salt Lake and St. George, UT, with a father who's an archeologist and big ol' nerd. He also happens to be the oldest of four sons, so we Jones boys have been to literally ALL of these places. Unfortunately my pops had a stroke a while back, and now has Alzheimer's, so it's been ages since I got to venture off the beaten path and into the beautiful nooks and crannies those four maniacs would always drag me to. I'm very under the weather right now and this video made my "puke, shiver uncontrollably, sweat buckets, eat saltines, repeat" day so much more bearable. A million childhood memories came flooding back to me. (Hiking through Devil's Garden in winter, a light dusting of fresh snow on the fins, and the entire park to ourselves . . .) It was great. Cheers, mate.

I make this trip in 2013. Is amazing. Everybody must see this beautiful land. God bless America.

I toured this country every summer for years with my family growing up. My father a professional photographer would take me with him early in the morning to get shots with his 8 by 10 camera. the best memories of my life the National Parks in Utah and South Dakota.

Nice and informative video.Thanks for sharing.Stay Blessed.🥰

I have never seen such an informative well presented yet entertaining and interesting video like this before... it had me pausing, and backtracking every so often. Thanks for the amazing content and detailed bits and pieces about sun positions and times for the best pictures etc.

Imagine exploring this area 45 years ago. That was a huge part of my childhood. I feel very lucky.

The totum pole in monument valley was climbed in the movie "The Eiger Sanction" by Clint Eastwood and George Kennedy.

As a Geologist myself, I am very happy that you explain how some of the formations formed. And the material is incredible. Iam very happy to travel to this area to annoy my wife with geological facts on our honeymoon.

This has to be the best instructional video on all of YouTube I will be going there soon and I have stored all of this information on my Google Maps thank you so much.

Hello I live in Thailand I like so much your videos this is in my dreams thanks ,

1:02:12ish- the absolute BEST and most scenic way to get from Capitol Reef to Bryce is to to take the Notom-Bullfrog Road to the Burr Trail and actually cross through the water pocket fold! It is a dirt road, but usually conditions are OK for passenger cars. In my opinion, the burr trail switchbacks are more incredible than the Shaffer trail.....and the burr trail will take you through Escalante and meet back up with hwy 12 before Bryce. The views are so incredible.

This is the best video on the Southwest I have ever seen. There's a good reason George Stevens selected this area to shoot movies like "The Searchers," with John Wayne. Thanks for posting:)

Beautiful video. Thank you for showcasing God’s amazing creation!

Thank you so much, Steve! I haven't enjoyed a travelogue as much as this for a long time. I loved everything about it: your photography; the tone of your narration; the pacing of each sequence; the incredible vistas; the sense of unlimited space (and freedom); the unfathomable beauty of God's good earth - everything! I live in the UK, where we have nothing remotely like these amazing landscapes. Now, I just need to plan my trip, for when the crazy covid times are finally over. Keep well and keep it going! 🙏🤝

Did the 5 parks in Dec 2019. Was wonderful even though higher up vista points were closed for snow. Capitol Reef dirt road was also closed. Overall wonderful trip. Started with Zion- Bryce- Lake Powell- Monument Valley-Arches- Canyonland-Capitol Reef . Wonderful narration and voice sir.

Totally agree, this is the absolute BEST travel guide video IV ever seen. Beautifully shot, clear, precise & relevant info, additional geological info - just perfect. Already planning this for my next trip to the U.S. My last trip was to Sturgis All the way from Perth West Australia 👍😊
