Thanks for the great comment. Yes, we are blessed to be able to get out and about and see this beautiful country. Thanks again for viewing and commenting on our channel. It is sincerely appreciated!
Last year I was in Hanksville and I enjoyed this kind of landscape - thx for sharing the Drive - next time I am heading to Hanksville I make a turn and try this road
Thanks for being my subscriber 100!😀 We’re headed to Hanksville tomorrow and doing Skyline Overlook. Also doing Hidden Splendor Mine plus Behind the Reef road. Good with acquiring the new drone.😀👍
Wow...Number 100! I am honored. I hope we can both get to 1000 one of these days. I haven't been on Hidden Splendor or Behind the Reef. Are you planning on posting videos for one or both? As far as the drone, I need to make a decision soon as in May we are going to SE Utah for 10 days and I want to have it for that trip. Have fun in and around Hanksville. Stop at Stan's Burger Shack in Hanksville. They have good burgers.
@@cactushill Yes, hopefully we’ll get enough footage for multiple videos. Stan’s is the plan for lunch on Friday! Getting my new drone early in April. 😀👍
It's possible but there are many little gullies across the road that could ruin your day. Depending if it rained recently would be the determining factor. I saw a few "Regular" cars at the Mars Station. Maybe ask around Hanksville to get opinions from locals. There is a off-road recovery/auto mechanic called "Rabbit Brush" North of Hanksville on Hwy 25. He is a local expert. He has a UA-cam channel as well. All this being said, please use your own best judgement anytime going off-road. Well, thanks for commenting and viewing our channel. It is sincerely appreciated.
I want to buy a 4x4 SUV so I can drive the roads that you do. My father has passed and left me some money. I want something with high clearance and a powerful engine like an 8 cylinder. I was wondering if you might have any suggestions.
Cathy...My suggestion would be to visit several local "4X4" shops in your area and ask a lot of questions. Also, get in touch with any Off-Roading clubs in your area. Off-Roading in Southern Utah could be very different than where you live. Personally, I don't think you would need a V8 engine. Off-Roading is more about generating torque and not necessarily about horsepower. We built our 2014 Jeep from the "Inside Out" (Things you can't necessarily see). We upgraded the axles, gearing and installed "Lockers". We also installed an air compressor so we could "Air Down" as needed. The lift for more ground clearance was the last major upgrade we did along with larger more aggressive tires. Also, are you planning on doing any "Over-landing"? That would be a factor in what type of vehicle you acquire. I am partial to Jeeps and they do have a model that has a 392 Hemi V8. Although, I understand that the "Transfer" case doesn't hold up very well. I know two people that had to replace the transfer case with less than 40,000 miles of use. The new Jeeps have a lot of what we added as "Standard" accessories especially in the "Rubicon" line. Anyway, do a thorough search on what you need so you can get the vehicle that best suits your needs. Thanks for commenting and viewing our channel...It is sincerely appreciated!
@@cactushill Thanks for your advice. After researching new 4WDs I was shocked by how much new ones cost. With that in minde I decided that a used one would fit my budget better. Then I realized that My dad's truck is a 2011 4WD Tahoe with a towing package and he took really good care of it. So, DUH, I've decided I'll keep it. I'm not used to driving something that big, but I'll get used to it.
Great video! Love it and will soon take the same journey on our next visit in mid may. Now for some ideas....how about mentioning the time of day in your videos and even the time of the year. That would help. Then how about showing or mentioning the direction you are moving toward. Maybe even a N,S,E,W superimposed direction on the video? I really believe your videos are some of the very best Utah adventures to follow on UA-cam! Thank You.
Thanks for the wonderful comment. I am still learning video editing and how to put together a "Story" when I publish a video. I try to put in the general time of the year when they are filmed but I don't always succeed. As far as the travel direction, I will put a note in my "Production Outline/Template" that I do for each video so I can include that information and time of the year. Thanks again for the positive comment and helpful suggestions. It is sincerely appreciated!

The road looks good, but is it possible to use a regular sedan?

The only thing that could spoil this place is posting its location in a youtube video
