Lots more just like it. Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming are filled with gems just like these, plus many other states have more as well. Just have to get out and see them.
Don't get me wrong, I love animals. But it just cracks me up how excited people get when they see deer, antelope, and buffalo. I see these animals almost on a daily bases. Except the buffalo, but I only have to drive like 20 miles east of where I live and BAM buffalos!!! I live in Wyoming, very popular for tourist. Anyways, love your guy's videos, can't stop watching. I plan on taking a road trip around the U.S. in a couple of years, can't wait!!!!
We were in Italy once and got excited about a cow on a mountain! We were like "why are we excited about a COW? They are everywhere in Texas!" 😂 I think it's just extra exciting to see things in the wild vs. on a farm or something hahaha. We absolutely love Wyoming, such a beautiful state!
That was another awesome video. You guys are just so natural in front of the camera and have a great knack for producing these videos. Just great scenery interlaced with solid information and describing your experience. I have been binging a bunch of your videos since discovering your channel very recently. I was glad to see you have been to the Great Salt Lake. We are planning on hitting Yellowstone and Grand Teton next year and will be passing through Salt Lake City. It is a bucket list item for me too to swim in it but I have read as well that it has some strong downsides. I am glad to see it wasn’t a miserable experience. Oh and that wind out west just hits different. We are on the east coast and recently took a trip to see the parks in NM/TX. We camped in Guadalupe Mountains for four nights. It was just sustained 30-40 mph winds with gusts up to 85 mph every dang day. Crazy!
We had heard how gross it was and while it didn't smell great and there were some flies, the experience was just so much fun for us! Maybe not everyone would agree, but since we have no idea when we will make it to the Dead Sea, it was worth a VERY quick float lol! The wind in Utah is GNARLY! We struggled with wind so badly when in Southern Utah this past trip. Those gusts in Guadalupe Mountains are insane! The northern Texas area has some of the craziest wind!
The salt levels are falling in the Great Salt Lake, also, the lake is drying up and they don't know if it will recover, ever. So I'm happy you got to go.
Sadly and not to mention the dried up brine in the great salt lake will become an arsonic toxic dust bowl for that valley. I grew up there and its such a beautiful state, north and south. Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve never heard of the great salt lake- now I’m obsessed!! Sooo cool! I had so much fun in Moab but didn’t have enough time to explore beyond. Looks like I need to plan a vacation soon....
Ah yes, you gotta explore Salt Lake! We have driven through Moab a few times, but never have been able to fully explore for one reason or another. But from what we have seen it looks amazing!
At the north end of the Great Salt Lake, there's a piece of art called the Spiral Jetty. It is so way cool. I wish I could post a picture here. Anyhoo, it's also by where they drove the golden spike for the Continental railroad. It's pretty cool to see the trains. Also, a bike ride across the causeway to antelope Island is an amazing thing. Just amazing.
That hike was gorgeous! I can see why it reminded you guys of Scotland! Do you remember the “noseeums” we have here in Texas? Many times when you kids were outside playing we would be getting bit by them! I really enjoyed this Vlog...you three make me smile every time❣️
It's been so fun to see your videos in Utah! I live in St. George, UT now and absolutely love it here..but we lived all over the Salt Lake Valley, as well as north and south of it for most of our marriage. Glad you guys have enjoyed yourselves here. If you haven't been to southern Utah (St. George, Arches, Zions, Bryce) it's all a must!
We drove through St. George on our way to Zion a couple years ago and had some AMAZING tacos at La Cocina Mexican Street Food! This was pre-vlogging days so we are dying to go back to Zion and Bryce and film them! Utah is such an awesome state and we definitely will be back 🙌🏼
What a fun video guys. You really put yourselves out there. So glad they had washing stations for ya. Kathryn’s black and white striped tank was doing some crazy stuff on camera. My old production crews would never let us wear them for that reason. The wind was insane at the salt flats, but at least Kona had a blast. Looking forward to the next one. Take care and stay safe.
Hahahaha yeah that shirt does some trippy stuff! 😅 The downside of this minimalist lifestyle is having only a few shirts to wear. And that wind made it even more fun and memorable! Kona loved it!
That light a the start of your hike was gorgeous, 🌄 in fact that hike in general looked lovely - views everywhere! If you say it's like Skye then this makes me very happy. It looks like we'll make it up there this summer as Scotland have relaxed its rules for us Brits. I've already been collecting tips from your site, a lot was already on my list, but you've introduced me to some gems like the Rha Waterfall, Brothers Point and the Lost Valley Hike in Glen Coe ❤️🙌 I'd LOVE to go floating in a salt lake. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for reasonably priced flights to Jordan at the moment, but given the distance from the UK, they're incredibly expensive. (I book flights as soon as they're released as I'm tied to school holidays so always pay a premium. I really REALLY hope a year from now I'd be free to travel a little further than just Western Europe *crosses fingers*) It seems a lot easier to find cheap flights to the US so I bet I make it to SLC to go floating first! 🌊 Thanks again for a beautiful video!
Ahhh we are so pumped you’re going to Scotland! It’s one of the most incredible places we have ever been (we say that a lot 🤣 but it’s true!). We would love to go to Jordan to float the Dead Sea and so many of the other countries around there. Crossing our fingers we can hop on a plane again next year! 🤞🏼
I just love to watch your travel videos! Ron are leaving Honolulu tomorrow, and will start our 5 National Parks hiking adventure in Salt Lake City and 6 different states. We are staying in SLC just for a day and don't have time to explore the Great Salt Lake and Bonneville Salt Flats like you did, however we just lived vicariously through your video! Mahalo once again for your excellent travel logs!
@@AdventuresofAplusK well, glad you made it through safe because it can get scary and dangerous especially when the salt is airborne and it’s like thick fog. Loved the video.
AWESOME vlog you guys!! Loved the pacing of the vlog and the excitement. We were just in Utah too, but just had time to drive around Antelope Island (missed the hike!), and didn't get to Bonneville Salt Flats. Thanks for taking us there through your vlog!
We didn’t know much about it before! The spot we swam at is one of the few spots people swim in. It was pretty clear water actually, but the flies and smells definitely made it feel less clean haha
Loved the hike but glad you did it and not me. lol Not a fan of sagebrush and open spaces and the no-seeums! We got to "no" them when we lived in Panama! Had no idea what was eating my legs up! They were so eaten up and they itched SO bad! Found out it was the no-seeums, so I ended up wearing jeans for the majority of the time in Panama. Thanks for the tour of the Great Salt Lake!
😊My home state! ⚠Just a friendly reminder that there are bison on the island so remember to keep your distance. ⚠ Looking back at three years ago, it's crazy how much of the water is gone now. 😞😬
My favorite thing to do on the salt flats is to walk way out there barefoot. Amazing salt scrub, not to mention a mega dose of magnesium thru the soles of your feet.
Thank you for this video; we have not been to Antelope Island yet. If you make it back down to S UT, I recommend doing a canyoneering trip. I highly recommend Steve Howe in the Capital Reef Area and Nick Smith with Kanab Tour Co. in Kanab. You will not regret the experience!
Fabulous 👏👏👏 really enjoyed this 👌 there is a movie called the Indian with Anthony Hopkins on the salt flats about a bike race , I’d love to see that place one day , thanks for sharing , excellent work 👍
Hey guys! I'm heading to SLC tomorrow, could you please tell me where is the spot where you took a deep in the Great Lake? I'd love to do that! Cheers!
That was in Antelope Island State Park. Take a look at our guide for more info adventuresofaplusk.com/visiting-the-great-salt-lake-things-to-do-at-antelope-island-state-park/
I could binge watch your videos all day! Seeing how happy you two are exploring and seeing such incredible views really brings a smile to my face
Thank you so much Tyler, this was truly one of our favorite days of all time!

Didn't even know these gems existed in the U.S. Thank you for sharing
We are so happy we can share them with you!!! Can’t wait to share the gems we have explored this past week! ❤️

Thank you so much Sandra! We plan to keep posting on Sunday’s and are glad we can be a part of your weekend ❤️
Beautiful light 💙. Beautiful colour. Love the information you give. It's looked great 👍😊 on my big TV here in Ireland.
Thanks so much Don! We hope to make it to Ireland someday! 💚
Absolutley stunning views from the top of that place!!!
We are so glad you think so too! This was one of our new fav hikes!
Thanks for the vlogs they are great. I am making my list for places to go when my husband and I retire.
You’re so welcome! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Also, sunsets out on the flats are spectacular. The mountains in the distance are just stunning when the sun goes down.
We would’ve loved to see that! The wind made it so hard to be there 😭
So cool seeing the salt flats!!👍😁
They are amazing and so vast! Definitely just as incredible as all of the photos we have seen!
Loving these vlogs! Living vicariously through you guys
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing. I am going soon!!
We hope you have a great time!!
The salt levels are falling in the Great Salt Lake, also, the lake is drying up and they don't know if it will recover, ever. So I'm happy you got to go.
Oh wow that’s interesting. Yes we’re glad we got to go also. It’s a neat place!
Sadly and not to mention the dried up brine in the great salt lake will become an arsonic toxic dust bowl for that valley. I grew up there and its such a beautiful state, north and south. Glad you enjoyed it!

Ah yes, you gotta explore Salt Lake! We have driven through Moab a few times, but never have been able to fully explore for one reason or another. But from what we have seen it looks amazing!
I grew up in Layton. Its a very stinky lake. No fish. Just brine shrimp. Still a beautiful place and unique i guess.
At the north end of the Great Salt Lake, there's a piece of art called the Spiral Jetty. It is so way cool. I wish I could post a picture here. Anyhoo, it's also by where they drove the golden spike for the Continental railroad. It's pretty cool to see the trains. Also, a bike ride across the causeway to antelope Island is an amazing thing. Just amazing.
That looked like such a fun day! You guys really know how to pack in the adventure into one day.
It was so much fun, but we were pooped afterwards! 😴😴
Just found your channel and your content is so good! I love the salt flats! You guys have to go back for sunset, it is amazing out there!
Sunset would be amazing! 😍 And thank you so much for watching and the kind words!
That hike was gorgeous! I can see why it reminded you guys of Scotland! Do you remember the “noseeums” we have here in Texas? Many times when you kids were outside playing we would be getting bit by them! I really enjoyed this Vlog...you three make me smile every time❣️
I probably blocked the noseeums out of my memory from childhood 🤣🤣 I think we have discovered a few bites since this hike!
Such a fun video! I had no idea that the lake smells bad...super interesting! Floating in the lake looks like fun even though the water was cold. :)
We’re so glad you enjoyed this one Brandon! Thankfully the smell got a bit better the farther we got out in the water lol!
It's been so fun to see your videos in Utah! I live in St. George, UT now and absolutely love it here..but we lived all over the Salt Lake Valley, as well as north and south of it for most of our marriage.

Thank you!
Going this weekend for a road trip, thanks for all the tips!
Have a blast!
Loved ur video!
As usual, awesome video!
Thanks Andy! Glad you enjoyed it!
Finally got to watch this...this was such a cool fun vlog! I'm just salty that I wasn't there 😆 😂 Thanks for being awesome!!!
Hahahaha you win for the salt joke! 😜

Came in here to read your reply in full and just seen that you hit 20k subscribers overnight... so pleased for you both 🙌🥳 Congratulations!!
Sweeeet!!! We haven’t had service most of the weekend and found out via your comment lol!
Love you guys!! That hike looked awesome!
It was such an amazing hike! So different than what we normally hike!
Wow!!! So cool!!!
It was such a cool day! So many fun things we normally don’t get to experience!

@@AdventuresofAplusK Thank you for your reply and I know how you guys love Hawaii! We have lots of beautiful trails on Oahu, and neighbor islands!
Love you guys! You're both adorable.
love your life 👍
Thank you so much for watching! This was such a fun day for us!
Oh, driving through the salt flats in a wind storm…fun times 🥴. Done it may times and it’s always crazy.
It was brutal!
@@AdventuresofAplusK well, glad you made it through safe because it can get scary and dangerous especially when the salt is airborne and it’s like thick fog. Loved the video.
love it!
AWESOME vlog you guys!! Loved the pacing of the vlog and the excitement. We were just in Utah too, but just had time to drive around Antelope Island (missed the hike!), and didn't get to Bonneville Salt Flats. Thanks for taking us there through your vlog!
Thank you so much! This is one of our favorite vlogs we have ever made and we’re so happy you liked it! Did you see any buffalo on the island?
@@AdventuresofAplusK We did indeed see buffalo! Even found a couple of pronghorn.
Ah jealous! We haven’t seen any pronghorn yet!
Wow. Didn't know salt lake was clean enough to go into!
We didn’t know much about it before! The spot we swam at is one of the few spots people swim in. It was pretty clear water actually, but the flies and smells definitely made it feel less clean haha
That’s what we said... so much salt!!
It was caked on us! lol!
Loved the hike but glad you did it and not me. lol Not a fan of sagebrush and open spaces and the no-seeums! We got to "no" them when we lived in Panama! Had no idea what was eating my legs up! They were so eaten up and they itched SO bad! Found out it was the no-seeums, so I ended up wearing jeans for the majority of the time in Panama. Thanks for the tour of the Great Salt Lake!
Hahaha those little guys are brutal! We are SO lucky we went on a cooler day and they weren't as bad. Panama? How cool! How was living there?
@@AdventuresofAplusK Panama was very hot and humid but the friends you make while overseas are family and that made it wonderful!
Thank you guys for the video. My girlfriend and I are going to all of these places and the video was very informative and useful. :]
Awesome! We hope you have a great trip. Thanks for watching!
😊My home state! ⚠Just a friendly reminder that there are bison on the island so remember to keep your distance. ⚠ Looking back at three years ago, it's crazy how much of the water is gone now. 😞😬
That is a really cool park! Gotta watch out for those bison!
Driving on the salt flats is fun! But it cleaning the car after can be painful!!
My favorite thing to do on the salt flats is to walk way out there barefoot. Amazing salt scrub, not to mention a mega dose of magnesium thru the soles of your feet.
Nice!!
okay shiet, gotta bring my fam to utah now
Utah rocks 🙌🏼
Amezing
Thank you!
I have driven that hundreds of times and those winds are wicked and will suck the gas out off your tank also.
It was terrifying! 😬😬
Thank you for this video; we have not been to Antelope Island yet. If you make it back down to S UT, I recommend doing a canyoneering trip. I highly recommend Steve Howe in the Capital Reef Area and Nick Smith with Kanab Tour Co. in Kanab. You will not regret the experience!
Thank you for the tips Debra! We are currently in Southern Utah and have done some fun exploring of some canyons!
Fabulous 👏👏👏 really enjoyed this 👌 there is a movie called the Indian with Anthony Hopkins on the salt flats about a bike race , I’d love to see that place one day , thanks for sharing , excellent work 👍
We heard about another movie too filmed on the salt flats! Looks like we have some movie nights ahead of us! 😄
Adam just informed me that IS the movie we were told about and need to watch! Oops!
Thank you for your beautiful video! Which app do you use for the trail?
We use AllTrails and love it!
You need to hit meadow hot springs
We've wanted to go there! Someday :D
Hey guys! I'm heading to SLC tomorrow, could you please tell me where is the spot where you took a deep in the Great Lake? I'd love to do that! Cheers!
That was in Antelope Island State Park. Take a look at our guide for more info

Such an epic adventurous vlog 💕🤯 also my hubby thinks Adam looks like diplo, have y’all ever gotten that before?
Oh and also did you wash ur van right after the salt flats? I was thinking if it might cause rust?
Hahahaha I think my best friend thought that once too! I can see it!
Yes we did! That’s the first thing we did the next morning!
Adventures of A plus K wow y’all are fast! Love you even more 💕 looking forward to the next vlog!
I spend wayyyy too much time on UA-cam lol! 🙈 We love chatting with everyone!
Another great video 👍🏽 what mic did you guys use on the mountain top? It sounded great lol
Thank you so much! We have a Rhode mic (this one: amzn.to/2W08pam) with a fuzzy wind cover on it. It’s awesome!
Adventures of A plus K You guys are amazing with the comments! 😊 Thanks for the link. I wish you the best!
We love chatting with people on here! Thanks so much for watching! 😄
🖒🌊
🌊🙌🏼🎉
What is that app you used to see the trail?
Hi Rachel! It’s the AllTrails app...highly recommend it!
I used to do that
Didnt research or check out anything.
Not a good idea.
Many parks, adventures require appts, reservations, were closed, etc. Etc.
Yes you have to plan ahead nowadays!
Wash the 🧂 salt off the van?
We did, just not on camera. Taking care of our van is our top priority always.
what month did you go here? Im goin this next month
This was late June 2020!
@@AdventuresofAplusK thank you
It's actually pronounced bon-uh-vil. www.dictionary.com/browse/bonneville
We do our best 🤷🏻, but thanks for the insight. We'll get it right next time.
