Previously, Thomas and Robby hiked in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and drove through the Rocky Mountains on I-70. In this video, we woke up at Dead Horse Point State Park and explored one of the nearby trails to check out Shafer Canyon. Then we headed to the visitor center where we saw the potash solar evaporation ponds in the distance. After that we went to Dead Horse Point Overlook where we could also see Thelma and Louise Point in the distance behind a rock.

Then we drove to Canyonlands National Park, and even though we had a dog with us, we were still able to go anywhere a car could go. The park is split in to three parts, Island in the Sky, the Maze, and the Needles. We only checked out Island in the Sky, and our first destination was Mesa Arch. Then we made our way to the Green River Overlook. Next was the Orange Cliffs Overlook. And the finale was Grand View Overlook. On the way out Robby quickly checked out Buck Canyon before we were on our way again to continue west...

    This video hits me in the feels. I'm from Ohio too and remember being in my late 20s when I first started backpacking and Canyonlands was one of the early trips for my friend and I. I'll never forget how much a visual impact it had. I also vividly remember thinking that "although I've never seen the Grand Canyon, I can't imagine it being much better than this" as we camped over the Green River. I'm now pushing 50 and Utah and the desert Southwest will always be a special place to me. My friend has sadly stopped backpacking for health reasons and while solo camping is possible, its not the same. You guys have no idea how special it is to have friends to share these trips with, how fleeting these years are, and how much you will miss this period of your life when you look back decades later. Please savor it.

    Robbie: "We have to come back here and back country camp." Me: "I'm DOWN for that video!"

    As a swede 🇸🇪 where there’s basically no need to apply to visit our nature reserves (only talks of it at certain places I think), nor any regulations against dogs (only horses at certain paths), I’m amazed with these humongous and vast landscapes, which then hold so little people. I get it at certain places - like Angel’s Landing - but not allowing for Sierra or people without passes, having these empty places - it feels overly regulated. People can manage themselves and behave respectfully most often. Such a shame for anyone to miss any of this,.. Thanks for sharing though, once again! Amazing scenery! Always enjoyable to watch your channel, guys!! 👍
  • @dittolugia
    This is so timely, I literally just got back from Canyonlands, grabbed some food, and then saw this video pop up on my feed!
  • @chrisjbellew
    This filming and editing is getting outrageously good. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
  • @cherylw388
    Really enjoyed this guys. Thomas you are a wonderful dog dad. Robby you make a great travel buddy. Thanks
  • @lxl8093
    Love the music/editing in these road trip videos. Sierra adds cuteness just by sleeping in the car.
  • I've never been to a canyon before, and as a young boy i thought to my self that the landscape is really intriguing and i want to visit it sometime in the future. After watching this video, it reminded me of my younger self's desire to visit and see a canyon right before my eyes. I feel like this video really captured the beauty of a canyon. Thank you for documenting your travels and sharing it with us!
  • @killuax3905
    You guys never disappoint, thanks AA!!! 🤗
  • @spldrotty
    Thomas! The mustache looked pretty stellar! Bring it back!
  • OMG!! Thanks guys. Thanks for taking me to all these wonderful places through your vids.
  • that's the exact way I discovered the Canyonlands National Park last Year in April - driving and seeing as much as possible. Next Year I will be staying more than 2 Days there and "dig" deeper. Thx from Germany for this Video
  • @gmonteith
    Others have commented on the videography and editing, but I have to say the music just keeps getting better and better too.
  • Love watching you guys. You make me smile at your exuberance and youthful joy. 🤗☺️🙏
  • @rorngsorn5272
    I'm sorry happy to see you hiked at the Canyanlands.
  • @dayhikedave
    Spot on with the music! Awesome!👍🙂🙏

    Love your stuff!! The Moab area is so beautiful. I've been twice--most recently was fall/winter 2020, where my family wanted to get outdoors and do some hiking for just two or three days. A front blew in the last day, and when we went to Dead Horse Point it was very drizzly and extremely foggy, which actually just enhanced my photos by making it look mysterious. We had to save a couple of hikers at the overlook who had hiked around the rim from their campsite and didn't realize the front was blowing in. They were wet and freezing and needed a ride back to the Visitor's Center. We left the next day early in the morning from Moab and it was snowy and about 20F, and it snowed on us all the way back to Texas. The road you saw from the overlooks was probably the White Rim Road, which is very popular with motorcyclists, cyclists, and 4wd enthusiasts. My dad wanted to ride it on his motorcycle which is why we went the last time.
  • Always look forward to seeing your guys's videos. ❤️ Adventure archives!
