Jonesing for Adventure
United States
Приєднався 5 лис 2019
Hi! Greg and Jamie here and we have a question for you:
Have you ever caught yourself dreaming about “someday”?
We have! We would long for adventure until we finally had a realization - we could choose to live that life today and, even better, could do it as a family! There is nothing like experiencing the wonder of a new place through the eyes of your kids.
So we bought a truck and fifth wheel and now we are exploring as a family. Every adventure brings wonder, amazement, and epic memories!
Jonesing for Adventure is two things:
First it is us (the Jones family) - a regular family that chose to make exploration a priority and then share all we discover here with you.
And secondly, it is a philosophy of choosing to chase dreams today instead of hoping for tomorrow. This is where you come in. Jonesing for Adventure may be the story of our family, but it can be the story of your family too.
So join us!
Let’s go make epic memories that our families will cherish for a lifetime!

Awesome, thanks. 💯
is the land along 279, BLM land?
I'm going to guess that Greg is an Aquarius and Jamie is an Aries.
Thanks for sharing your Canyonland Adventure. At twelve years old, my parents Eric and Kathy Nelson and their English teacher colleague couple Dave and Theresa Petersen and I drove two sport utility vehicles ours being an excellent Ford Explorer as far in as we could, and then backpacked 3 days in. We set up elaborate camp by an Anasazi village complete with pictographs, a kachina underground sacred area, and much 'abandoned' pottery shards and corn husks. A nearby cave which my mom Kathy found scary contained more fascinating Anasazi religious pictographs. These were great people the Anasazi. This was my best and deepest Canyon Lands adventure; Although I and my family visited Moab and Canyon Lands say 5 more times; also seeing many other great Southwest Parks, one of my favorite being Goblin Valley.
Great video. Your wife has such a beautiful smile. I will definitely use some of these suggestions. Thank you.
Can't believe you didn't make it to Newspaper Rock. There's a whole myriad of petroglyphs there on a huge rock panel. It's extraordinary.
i love how authentic you guys are, no fluff
Great video ,beautiful family ! Cheers !!
6:20 looked like Morning Glory Arch/Grandstaff Trail. It is one of our favorite hiking trails. It is only 3 miles down Rt. 128 from town (191.) Next time rent a UTV from Moab Tour Co. and drive out to Chicken Corners. Trust this tip- you will love it. Yes, Fiery Furnace is a great hike. Also, head over to Zion for a night or two- hike Angels Landing. It's worth it and really not too far.
Thank you. Time with your kids, priceless.
My boyfriend and I loved your video! We’re going in October and it was great to get some inspiration. Thank you!
Just wanted to point out that the gravel road at the end of Highway 279 goes all the way to Canyonlands NP. It turns into Shafer Canyon Trail, which is the switch backs you see at 8:20 in the video! It's an amazing drive and takes you through canyons and right along the Colorado river, but it's 45 miles long so it takes quite awhile
Do you need a 4x4 truck or keep for that road?
@@scottklein2583 It's probably been done with a car, but not advised.
If you continue on Potash Road past the "ponds", you'll go past the river in Dead Horse State Park and end up in Canyonlands.
Amazing video. Any idea if it would be worth visiting these places end of November? I know it will be a bit cold but I read that it's sunny most afternoons and there are lesser crowds during that time.
I can easily say YES. We just visited this area in late March, and while the crowds weren’t nonexistent, they definitely were more manageable than the busier seasons. Also, Arches requires a reservation from April through October, so thankfully we avoided that requirement also. I’m contemplating a future trip back there again around Thanksgiving for this reason to miss the busy season. Bring a jacket and some gloves and you’ll be fine.
@@dandawson8128 Thanks !
👍🙂 thank you!
What month was this visit
I usually take the old bronco on the trails, they take you out to where most people dont go. So much to do .. my favorite vacation spot.
Two women were murdered in Moab,they were locals,killed in broad daylight 8/21 Crystal Turner and Kylen Shulte UNSOLVED
So cool only seen it in movies thank you for sharing 😊
Number 1 you can’t miss going to my secrete waterfall but it’s only for locals or those who know about it
Potash Road is actually at the bottom of a dirt road called Shafer Trail -- well worth checking out next time you're in Moab.
Thanks for all the information. We are planning on visiting in June for the first time. Appreciate you sharing.
Have fun!
hi thanks for sharing your video of moab, !!! my wife and my self are going moab now in feb2022, did you recomendation for extrategic hotel in moab that is close to everything more or less close, to things in your list, and if you think we can get some company What to do short excursions in 4x4 off road February despite the weather? thanks for your list of things to do in moab . Thanks in advance 🙏
We don't have any firsthand experience with Moab in February but it could be really great! Moab isn't very big so where exactly you stay shouldn't matter too much. However all the things we mention are accessed from the north side of Moab. Have a great trip!
Thx a lot, want ot go there this year, good ideas!
Thanks for watching and have a great trip!
We were there last week. We did most of the things you suggested but didn't get to the Dead Horse state park. However, we did drive down the switchbacks on the Shafer Trail and took the Shafer Basin Trail to Potash Road. Our daughter had a meltdown going down the switchbacks but once committed it didn't seem like a place to try and turn around. If someone in your vehicle is terrified of heights, it's best avoided.
Sorry to hear that your daughter had a rough time on the switchbacks! 😟Thanks for mentioning it though - that's a great tip to hopefully help someone else not get into the same situation...
UDAH🤒🤮😷
Thanks for sharing. What time of year did you visit Moab? We are thinking to plan a trip in March
Our latest visit was in early June and we have also been in late September. We can't say for sure since we don't have first hand experience but March seems like it could be great - not too hot! Happy travels!
Thank you for this video. We're heading to Moab today and I just added the route 279 along the river! Great find! Danny and Lynn
Thanks for watching! Enjoy your time in Moab!
Any recommendations for rv resorts in Moab?
We like to check on Campendium for reviews before we decide on a place. We ended up at Slickrock Campground which was just ok/a bit disappointing in our opinion. We would check out another one next time but since we don't have any experience yet we can't recommend any. If you can fit, staying inside Arches for at least one night would be amazing (we did that with a smaller rig years ago). Dead Horse Point and the BLM campgrounds along the river are also worth looking into although we don't have personal experience with either (yet). Have fun!
Great video. Question: Did you get permit to fly your drone there? Or is there limit where to fly it? We will be traveling in 2 weeks to Moab.
Enjoy your time in Moab! You will love it! We made sure to only fly the drone in areas that were outside of state/national parks. The whole area has cool formations and beautiful scenery so it's not hard to find a quiet, out of the way area to fly.
FANTASTIC and well put together video. I hope you don't mind me embedding it into our blog "Your Ultimate MOAB Adventure and Visitors Guide" which will be super helpful to our readers. Thank you for putting out such well-produced video. Safe travels and hope to meet you guys on the road sometime soon. www.alwaysonliberty.com
Thanks for watching and sharing! Happy travels! :)
Some awesome things to do, thanks for your help and tips!
Thanks for watching and happy travels! :)
My favorite hiking trail is Grandstaff. It's about 5 miles round trip, but a cool, spring fed stream runs the length of the trail, so it's easy to cool off. At the end of the trail you can fill your water bottles with spring water coming from between the rocks in the canyon wall.
Thanks for the great recommendation!
Canyonlands view ua-cam.com/video/xifXU8sPjFI/v-deo.html
I just got back from moab. I did all the national park stuff. We did the hikes in arches and canyon lands which were fun. But simply nothing compared to the stomping grounds in the klondike bluffs. 2000+ dino prints of theropods, sauropods, ornithopods. My wife and I agreed that this was our number one attraction we saw, number two wasn't even close. It's free and secluded.... which blows my mind. If you care at all about natural history this is a must see. I almost don't want to tell people about it, just let them keep going to arches and canyon lands to selfishly preserve the prints for me to enjoy.
Wow, that sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Went to Moab for the 1st time last May. Besides all the beautiful places you’ve covered & others mentioned here, check out a drive that is a big loop from Moab… start very early cause the ending is the best part & you’ll want as much time as possible. From Moab, take 128 north along the River stop at Fisher Towers, continue to I-70 & go thru Colorado National Monument, exit in Grand Junction… THEN…. Something apparently not many people know about… A 4-5 hour drive (if you don’t stop) along the Unaweep-Tabeguache Scenic Byway. This is an absolutely stunning drive that apparently not many know about cause we saw maybe 10 cars the entire time. Try to hit it as early as possible so you can stop for great pics. There is a good 2 lane road with one 6% grade section towards the end. WARNING: go prepared with food, water as there are no conveniences, hardly ever any cell service, very few houses & even fewer passing vehicles. You want to be out of the Byway & back on 191 before dark… in case you have car trouble… experience speaking. From Grand Junction, take HWY 50 to 141 to 90 & finally to 46 which takes you to 191 & back into Moab. There are some UA-cam videos of the area… even the very old ones are good.
That sounds like an amazing drive - thanks for sharing! We drove part of that on our way from Moab to Black Canyon of the Gunnison and the part we drove was very beautiful. We will have to check out the rest next time! :)
Great video, tks ya. Gotta check some of these spots!
well thought out....thank you
Thank you 😊
Been to Moab about 25 times. It never gets old. He showed Shafer Pass in Canyonlands, it is not for the weak hearted. It also gets pretty rocky at the bottom. Musselman Arch is pretty cool though.
Moab is definitely a special place!
This video really helped us on our trip. Dead Horse was our favorite. Thank you
We're so glad you found it helpful! Dead Horse really is incredible. Happy Travels! 😁
Beautiful family.
😁
Great Video. Watched it before going to Moab.
The scenery on the video looks amazing
That area is full of such cool/unique scenery! 😁
How many days to cover your top 3 on the list? Great video btw.
We think you need a minimum of 2 full days to get a good overview of all three parks. In 2 days we'd do this (both days includes some afternoon rest/dinner back in Moab/your home base): DAY 1 Arches NP - Everything but Delicate Arch. Don't miss Landscape Arch, Garden of Eden/Double Arch/Windows, & Park Avenue. Pack a sack lunch for the most efficient visit. Dead Horse Point SP - Dead Horse Point is amazing at sunset and it isn't a big hike so we'd suggest doing it on the main Arches day to distribute the hiking a little more evenly across the two days. DAY 2 Canyonlands NP - As much as you can see. Don't miss Grand View Point (we like the hike along the canyon edge) and Mesa Arch. Pack a sack lunch again. Arches NP Delicate Arch - The Delicate Arch at sunset experience is a can't miss. It is very popular with lots of people but it is still amazing. If you have 3 days you can be a little more leisurely in your sightseeing and probably add in the drive along the river to see the petroglyphs/dinosaur tracks and get a different perspective (being by the river is a much different vibe than above at the parks). 4 days would open up some time for off-roading and/or an on-the-river experience. Hopefully that helps! Enjoy - it's an amazing place to visit!
@@JonesingforAdventure Informative, huge thanks! As for tickets/reservations, where would we buy them?
@@rdiesel84 Last we checked, you don't need a reservation to visit any of the three parks (Arches, Canyonlands, or Dead Horse Point). You pay the entrance fees at the entrance gate for each. If you plan on visiting more National Parks within a year, we think a National Parks pass makes a lot of sense and you can buy that at the entrance station as well.
Great presentation. Thanks
We were there in May and only had 2 days which were totally not enough time! We need to go back. Enjoyed your tip ideas and wrote down the things we missed. Safe travels
Yeah, 2 days would be really tough! We thought 4 was just enough to get a good overview and see the major sights but we still can't wait to go back... Thanks for watching and happy travels! 😁
How was the traffic, crowds, etc... In May?
You changed my route! Headed there next week!!
Have a great time! 😁
Awesome info
Sand Dune Arch is a short hike in Arches that is great fun for young children
Great tip - thanks for sharing! We missed Sand Dune Arch last time we went - we did Skyline Arch instead (which our kids loved). We will definitely check out Sand Dune Arch next time...
