Lived in the west all my life, NM, CO,WY, UT, AZ and NV. Utah has the best parks hands down! Zion is my favorite!

As a kid, mom would take us every year to a national park. Zion was the first when I was 5. We did zion a bunch more times til our last camping trip before I got out of high school. I went and got an application from the lodge and as soon as school let out, mom put me on a greyhound to my new home in zion. Best place I ever lived

Nice video. We won’t get to Utah for many years, but I love how authentic your family and love of our country’s landscape is.

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing this beautiful trip and wholesome content.

Just got back a week ago from the five national parks in Utah. This video makes me want to turn around and go right back! I flew into the St. George Airport from Daytona with a short stop over in Dallas Fort Worth.. it was so nice to see you and Cheryl again and your family and also Dennis and Clare in this video. I did get to visit Stone Canyon State Park in St. George and then we were off to Zion. Hiked along the Virgin River. The Narrows was closed due to the swift running river. You sure know where to find the good pie stops! I did enjoy eating mine at the Gifford House. I also visited Goblin Valley State Park and Dead Horse State Park. Stopped in Green river to see the John Wesley Powell museum and ate at the Tamarist. Sunrise at Bryce was one of the highlights of my trip. Your videos are the best! So informative with wonderful suggestions.

I really appreciate the reminder about water and food! I think that's easy to overlook and can be so critical. Even short hikes in hot temps require a lot of hydration

Really enjoyed following this video (along with many of your others). We're heading over from Perth (Western Australia) in May-June and will be visiting Utah's Mighty Five including quite a number of the stops you visiting on your trip (sadly we will miss a few that looked cool - especially in Escalante National Monument - as relying a rental means unpaved roads are off limits). Watching this has helped boost the excitement, including for all the pie!! We start in San Francisco, dropping in to Pinnacles and Joshua Tree National Parks, on to Vegas, do the Mighty Five, then continue from Arches to Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, Petrified Forest National Park, Sedona, Grand Canyon (North and South), Page, Arizona's stretch of Route 66, Great Basin, the Loneliest Highway, Lake Tahoe before finishing back up in SF. Can't wait!!

We visited the Mighty 5 last fall over a 2 week period. It was a fantastic trip!
-
Your channel rules! I love that you go into detail with these places in your videos. Most channels dont really do that.
-
Agree on the Iowa roads. I installed Sumo springs on our Ram 2500 and helped with the bounce,,easy install
-
That was spot on. Great job guys.
-
Of all the road trip videos of the Southwest this one is the best. A good subtitle would be "eating our way thru Utah" and the kids' attitude "I like mud" and sense of adventure was delightful. Subscribed and looking forward to more scenic wonders.
-
Oh i love all of this video. I can’t wait to go back!!!
-
this was such an amazing video! my bf and I are going to Utah at the end of may for our anniversary. this was extremely helpful and is getting us super excited!!!!
-
Just in time for our trip at the end of the month! Woohoo!
-
Utah is a must-visit state as it has so many national parks.
-
On my travels through Utah a few months ago I was bee-lining it to Moab through this area and as soon as hit Capitol Reef I stopped and couldn't believe it. Ended up staying there three days before I continued to Moab. Incredibly gorgeous.
-
I love your family, your videos, and the way you provide what we need with out a lot of falderol, as my mom would say. Great job!
-
I have that same Utah Rocks shirt! I love it. So comfy.

Hello Becca and Matt. Just came to say thank you. We bought the 1 day itinerary for Zion and Bryce from you guys. We were able to see so many things in one day.We had an amazing vacation in Utah. Springdale is such a beautiful town. We loved the people in Utah, they were so friendly.
