In 1962, I travel this road with my family in a 1959 Chevy Parkwood station wagon. I was 12 years old and had my younger brother and sister along, with my Dad and Mom. I remember, around the 16.00 minute mark, looking out the right side of the car, and it was scary! I told my mom, "I don't know if i should go to sleep, or die!" LOL! It was the last vacation from Pittsburgh to California that our family made, to visit old neighbors who moved to California in 1960. My Dad died not long afterwards, so a vacation like this, which was 2 weeks long was quite memorable to me. So watching this, for the first time, since seeing it live, in 1962, brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for recalling such a wonderful time of my childhood, now that i am at the end of my life.
@@alpinoalpini3849 so so sad should I have given the credit to his greatest enemy the one (s) who would like to blame God for all the suffering in this world? just because you believe it’s religious nonsense doesn’t make it so I behave what I believe I could really care less what you believe
Love this video. I rode my Indian on this route last year and will be again this year. I love this country and feel blessed to be a citizen of The United States. If only we could get the so-called news media to quit sensationalizing negativity and instead, convey all the positives this country has to offer.
ohh this video made me take the tour of Zion & Bryce. I am taking a tour of the National Parks in Utah, Arizona, and Nevada to celebrate my 27th year in The US, 12 years as a Citizen and couldn't be more grateful! thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for keeping this commercial free! Cant tell you how many mornings I have put this on and scrolled back 3-4x. Love this place! Thank you 🙏
My family vacationed here in the early 90’s and 00’s. We’ve all got older and don’t go anymore. Haven’t been for 16 years. My God. 16 years. I have to go back. I just have to. This place is magical. And I’m sure a lot more busy now...which bums me out. Amazing how time and generations go by and you don’t realize how much ‘this is your time’ and ‘how fast it goes’. Enjoy everyone. Youth is...well...wonderful. I took it for granted and though I would be young forever. But..it’s not like that.
I found it shocking going back even 15 years ago. It sucks riding on a shuttle with tourists. It's good for the air quality, but still... if you grew up in the time where you could drive through it yourself, with only a fraction of the people knowing of its existence... it's not the same. I don't think I'll ever go back.
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful drive with me it really is beautiful landscape . My name is Ivana from Canada and I never had the chance to tour the United States and probably never will so I appreciate people like you that share your beautiful scenery with others and again I thank you 😊
Whoever planned the route for this highway did an absolutely brilliant job. Anyone visiting Zion should try to enter this way. This and the Going to the Sun highway in Glacier are my favorites.
This, along with many other beautiful drives in America, was done BEFORE idiot environmentalists were allowed to exist in decision making positions within our society!
Retired Music Educator, Environmentalists are the reason this park and every park in our National Park Service exists. Otherwise, they’d be dotted with McDonald’s and Walmart and you name it. Is that what you’d prefer?
@@longhair2678 It's supremely useful land for human development (easy and cheap agriculture, transportation, and urban buildup options). Mostly flat(ish) open land with easy river access. It's very useful for the US to have. A lot more important than say Oregon or Utah despite the lack of comparable natural beauty and grandeur. I live in Illinois but i'm no fool. I would never trade what Illinois has for mountains and desert. The US would have gotten nowhere fast if the lands immediately west of the Appalachians were like the western US.
I was there in April 1994 all too short, when I look at this now I wish I had done it again, Bryce & Glen Canyon Dam. All so beautiful! I'm from South Africa :)
What I also love about this video is you can also see the sky, a major part of scenery & atmosphere, I couldn't imagine a world without it, Thank You!!
You are so right! Traveling solo, I drove it coming from Springdale and was blown away as I entered the park! Then on the other side of the tunnel, I thought to myself, it was like I was in a different place. Stunning all the way around, but the western side was the most surreal place I've ever been!
The tunnel is actually 1 mile long but they edited most of the drive out. There are portals along the way where years ago, vehicles could actually pull out and park to see the scenery below.
I can vividly remember driving through with my grandparents when I was 14 or 15 and I’ve always wanted to go back ever since. Even at that age it was beautiful and breathtaking.
Is there a point in the video where Angel's Landing can be seen? If there is, please reply with the minute and second in the video. Thanks. I would like to do the hike in December. Will there be too much snow or ice at that time of year?
@@RedondoBeach2 This is basically a drive "through" the park. You don't see any actual trails here. However, there are many videos of Angel's Landing hike on here if you enter it in the search. I only drove through 1 time, this exact drive except I was coming from the other direction in Springdale. If you've never been, you will be delighted!! As far as the hikes, follow Zion NPS on Twitter and you'll get trail conditions, parking suggestion, etc based on current conditions. Although I've only been once and live on the east coast (GA), I follow because I fell in love and enjoy seeing what's happening there...and I desperately hope to return one day!
And Ethan, you are more than blessed! What's your preference between Zion and Bryce? Although I've never been to Bryce, I'm guessing you'd say Zion based on my beautiful experience there! 😊
@@DivaInTheWoods Hey, thanks for replying. I did the hike on December 2nd. I was able to get to Walter's Wiggles. At that point the ice and snow on the trail was too much. I did not have crampons to keep pressing forward. However, since the temperature was in the mid-40s, I decided to give it another try the next day and I'm glad I did. Although that part of the trail was still slushy, enough of it cleared up for me to hike to Scout's Lookout. When I got there, I decided to continue on the Angel's Landing trail but only got 50-60 yards on the chains before I decided that I needed to turn around. The videos really cannot effectively convey the danger of this trail. The sandstone was still wet from melting snow (no snow/ice directly on the path) and there was small amounts of loose sand along the way as well. I had the strength and stamina to continue forward, but lacked the confidence, and that's absolutely key. So I'm glad that I did turn around. I intend to be back again for another hike to Scout's Lookout, and to hike the full length of the West Rim Trail. However, Angel's Landing is a no-go for me. Tragically, another person died on the Angel's Landing trail this November. I understand she was a local. Sympathy to her family and friends.
Thank you, that drive brought tears to my eyes. God's creation is beautiful. I don't know if I will ever get to drive it but I will certainly watch this video over and over. You picked the perfect music for it also. Beautiful.
when i did this drive two years ago, it had just finished raining about an hour ago and the sun was shining so everything was glistening. It definitely brought tears to my eyes.
I'm going to do the utah grand circle in mid october for the first time. havn't been in the use for 17 years and this is the destination i choose to travel after all these years
Them views take my breath away, simply !MAGNIFICENT! and i feel as if i've stepped back in time to the Jurrassic and Createous periods in Earth history Amazing!
I've been motorcycling for just over 3 years and have only 50,000 miles under my belt...mostly in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. So, I consider myself to be a beginner. I'm planning a 2019 spring trip to the National Parks in Utah. On Google Maps, the switchbacks after the mile tunnel look intimidating. They look like what you'd find on Passo dello Stelvio in Italy! Your video gave me the ability to make a much more informed assessment of the road and I'm now looking forward to riding it. Your video is beautiful...I like the highly saturated colors that the evening light gave you, and the smoothness of the camera-work is very professional. Your choice of music and the mystical scenery of the Zion area are perfectly synchronized. Thank you for having done this... I'll enjoy it many more times.
I have been there twice, the place is beautiful, peaceful, if you go you can go, first go and enjoy it and see the possibilities of what you can do and then go for several days. Take walking shoes and take another if you're going to get into the water in the Narrows. I recommend you to start the holidays or after. In vacation time there are many people. You can camp if you want, but you have to make reservations much earlier. It is also beautiful place near there called Bryce National Park, it is also beautiful to visit
After searching through many, videos and more videos searching for the one thats not looking at another person rear end and chicka boo music, we found you. This video is saved to my play list. The music, the scenery which I've been to as a young girl inspires me to want to enjoy my ride even indoors. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
This is truly an amazing beautiful scenic route to behold!! What awesome filming 👏👍 indeed! You have captured every beautiful angle and curve of this magnificent (breathtakingly) road view of the mountains, hillsides, canyons and all... so very splendid! I couldn't take my eyes off front and center...from the start. I can only imagine how stunning it must be to drive through...(without taking your eyes off the road.... would be impossible). Absolutely Divine (understatement)...Is God's Beautiful Creation of Mother Nature...Earth. If there's an Oscar for films like this.... This Is the Winner. In my eyes....thank you for sharing. I have now traveled through Mt. Zion National Park.... so vividly and Awe-beautifully‼️ 🏞️ Merci.... *Van🚐 Wings 🦋*
Very nice. Did this on my motorcycle in 2014. Was hard to concentrate on handling my bike and the beautiful scenery at the same time but the view on the bike was so much better than being in a car.............
I spent the night in a small tent in the campgrounds back in '82. It was a very memorable experience. I've never stopped thinking about Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. They get in your blood and you can't get them out. If I could move out there, I would in a heartbeat. Zion is arguably one of the most beautiful places in the country.
We've been all over the country between the two of us and I've been all over Colorado but I haven't seen the Utah side yet. This place is now on our list. Very pretty. We just love the west. Colorado is home. No excuse not to explore THIS. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this beautiful film. I have been to many places all around the world. Zion is one of my top 5. Although I live in Europe, I have already been there 3 times and about to go again.
GOD IS AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing. Your efforts and works are appreciated. A lot of people will not be blessed to see this in person but you were. Lost for words.
I first visited Zion Park in 1980 aboard a Green Tortoise Bus out of New York City. In 1991, I returned to Zion to work as a seasonal park ranger and stayed for only the one season. I have visited the park several times since then and it has always seemed more crowded but I can't blame people for wanting to experience such breathtaking beauty.
Utah's simply one of the cleanest beautiful places left in the lower 48's. Good job people,, your love and pride, your appreciation of God's gifts, it's showing!
Have you ever experienced the Wasatch Front (Salt lake City metro area) in the winter? The air quality is awful. Unfortunately, Utah is not even close to being one of the cleanest places in the contiguous states. And the people? They'd rather let Trump sell Zion off to some shady corporation that would build crappy motels and fast-food joints there than have it be owned by the people of the USA and operated by the National Park Service.
gato ryak We (Utahns) have the 2nd most public land in the country after Wyoming. Over 70% is public. With SEVERAL National Parks. People from other states always want to tell us how to run our state.
ScoDucks2020 I live in Utah and am not and have never been Mormon. I just find it funny that people from other states always love to tell us & Wyoming & Idaho how to run our states and our lands. I moved here in 1978. Would never presume to move somewhere & start telling them how to run things. Especially when the place they moved from is such a craphole.
I drove this in July of 2022. One of the most beautiful places I have been to. I live in Tennessee. I live 20 miles from The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Love that place also.
Looking at it now, over ten years after leaving the States, there are other roads that have left stronger impression on me. But Zion was a special place and the video is very nice.
Yes, I've done that drive, and it is as good as it looks on this video. I live in Colorado and Colorado and Utah are rich with great eye candy like this.
Thank you so much for sharing this tour of the Zion NTLP. I had the opportunity to tour it in 2016 and fate has wanted that this year we could not return, but we will return to that beautiful land. Our days in Springdale and our tour of The Narrows are unforgettable. Greetings from Punta del Este, Uruguay.
Driving on the West side of the park on HWY 15 was good enough for me. This is absolutely breath taking! Angel's Landing is on my bucket list so I will be visiting Zion soon!
I drove Highway 9 a week ago. My sixth time but I find it always stunning. I also love Kolob Rd in Rockville up to Kolob Reservoir. Very beautiful is Route 12 between Escalante and Boulder and the best coffee in Kiva café. Thanks for sharing. Beautifully done.
Hubby and I did this drive as part of a very long road trip last Sept. Simply stunning ❤️ We have beautiful places in UK but this was breathtaking - thanks for posting, great quality too.
Excellent virtual tour. Great recording job and great music. Good job, it's the best I've seen this month! Keep it up, what a beauty. That landscape is just beautiful, I don't know what makes it so beautiful!
Yep nice work there , looks magnificent even on my phone screen. I'd love to watch this exact thing through VR sitting on a virtual motorbike that moves with the road, just great ❤
What does that have to do with beautiful scenery?? Of course there are shitty places in cities. Still doesn't change the fact of what I said. I never said 100% of U.S. soil was gorgeous. -__-
America truly is beautiful.

I've driven over 150,000 miles through the US personally and as a truck driver. And there's nothing else in the world like this drive.
This drive literally brought tears to my eyes ..what a majestic beautiful earth we have.. alllll praise to you Jehovah ..thank you father

Do it in the sunlight to do it justice. This was home for seven years. Truly awesome.
Is it better to drive it in the morning or afternoon?
My wife and I (we are from the Netherlands) drove this highway last month and it was absolutely breathtaking. Very beautiful landscapes!
Beautiful. I also love Highway 12 in Utah and 128 along the Colorado River to Moab. America the Beautiful!
Wonderful!! You can check out cost effective hotel in Utah, US enjoy the video - ua-cam.com/video/_Mg0SQ6ZSrk/v-deo.html

Indeed, you are very lucky. I think Utah is the most beautiful state, well it is my opinion.
I live here too , but i dont feel as blessed lol
I feel blessed to be able to visit and enjoy the splendor that Utah has to offer but then I can go back to NYC where I live :-)
@Underdog only brain cells and logic lol
@Underdog yep. I just hide out in the desert with my family away from that cult

Watched this 2 years ago. Still takes my breath away the view coming out of that second tunnel.. So beautiful..
Yup, east to west is the best way. Driving it in person was exactly what you described. Come out of that tunnel and you're in a different world.
I just went on this highway 9 a month ago...OMG a must see! Thank you for the revisit!
I went to Zion as part of a family trip in 2008. Thanks to this video, I can go back anytime I want. So relaxing, thank you!!
And I live 45 minutes away from this park. Blessed

Utah and Arizona has some of the best scenery there is.
The Colorado Plateau is hard to beat.

Zero in on Southeast Utah where all the best scenery comes together -- at least five National Parks!
Thank you for this beautiful film. I have been to many places all around the world. Zion is one of my top 5. Although I live in Europe, I have already been there 3 times and about to go again.
As a Californian, I made a point to drive into Zion for the first time from the East entrance; well worth it. Simply world class.
I love this place and am glad I traveled it multiple times before the crowds took it over, forcing you to see most of it by tourist bus...

Have you ever experienced the Wasatch Front (Salt lake City metro area) in the winter? The air quality is awful. Unfortunately, Utah is not even close to being one of the cleanest places in the contiguous states. And the people? They'd rather let Trump sell Zion off to some shady corporation that would build crappy motels and fast-food joints there than have it be owned by the people of the USA and operated by the National Park Service.

We (Utahns) have the 2nd most public land in the country after Wyoming. Over 70% is public. With SEVERAL National Parks. People from other states always want to tell us how to run our state.

Do you live in Utah?

I live in Utah and am not and have never been Mormon. I just find it funny that people from other states always love to tell us & Wyoming & Idaho how to run our states and our lands. I moved here in 1978. Would never presume to move somewhere & start telling them how to run things. Especially when the place they moved from is such a craphole.
I drove this in July of 2022. One of the most beautiful places I have been to. I live in Tennessee. I live 20 miles from The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Love that place also.
I was just there, and this is it. Great video, go there in person and hike and bike. A must, beautiful, serene. Can’t wait to go back ❤️.
Absolutely breathtaking beauty ♥️
Man i felt like i was in the passenger seat! Awesome job.. driving off into the sunset..perfect
Looking at it now, over ten years after leaving the States, there are other roads that have left stronger impression on me. But Zion was a special place and the video is very nice.
who are the one putting thumbs down on such a wonderful video. they must lack any gray matter up stairs, fell sorry for them
Yes, I've done that drive, and it is as good as it looks on this video. I live in Colorado and Colorado and Utah are rich with great eye candy like this.
So serene and breathtaking at the same time!
Ez valami csodálatosan szép hely...
Thank you so much for sharing this tour of the Zion NTLP. I had the opportunity to tour it in 2016 and fate has wanted that this year we could not return, but we will return to that beautiful land. Our days in Springdale and our tour of The Narrows are unforgettable. Greetings from Punta del Este, Uruguay.
Im frm nyc .drove cross country many times ..saw alot .utah was is a beautiful drive .rollin hills mts .etc ..God bless america
Thank You for sharing, it's spectacular and so relaxing at the same time. Such a great ride, beautiful
Driving on the West side of the park on HWY 15 was good enough for me. This is absolutely breath taking! Angel's Landing is on my bucket list so I will be visiting Zion soon!
Excellent videos. I was blessed and fortunate to see the magnificent beauty of Utah last year. This brings back great memories.
Incredible video. The beauty of this drive it gets better everytime you take a turn.
Thanks for uploading.
I drove Highway 9 a week ago. My sixth time but I find it always stunning. I also love Kolob Rd in Rockville up to Kolob Reservoir. Very beautiful is Route 12 between Escalante and Boulder and the best coffee in Kiva café. Thanks for sharing. Beautifully done.
The drive through Long Canyon (Burr Trail) in Capitol Reef National Park is also spectacular.
I drove only paved part of it in passenger car. I never could afford renting SUV.
This is so beautiful! It makes me feel a certain way.
Simply magnificent. Hats off!
Beautiful and good music.
Hubby and I did this drive as part of a very long road trip last Sept. Simply stunning ❤️ We have beautiful places in UK but this was breathtaking - thanks for posting, great quality too.
It truly is one of the most magnificent places on Earth, very unique
I loved Zion National Park. besides Yellowstone it was one of my best vacations. Bryce Canyon was awesome as well
Excellent virtual tour. Great recording job and great music. Good job, it's the best I've seen this month! Keep it up, what a beauty.
That landscape is just beautiful, I don't know what makes it so beautiful!
Yep nice work there , looks magnificent even on my phone screen. I'd love to watch this exact thing through VR sitting on a virtual motorbike that moves with the road, just great ❤
If I lived near here I be here everyday....absolutely beautiful.
Fortunate to drive the highway a couple of years ago. Awesome and the scenery is great.
Beautiful ... bright ... pure ... strange ... wonderful ... it's not a human city. It is paradise ...
I was there in Sept. Beautiful scenery. There are alot of gorgeous scenery all over the U.S. I especially love the Glenn Highway in Alaska.
What does that have to do with beautiful scenery?? Of course there are shitty places in cities. Still doesn't change the fact of what I said. I never said 100% of U.S. soil was gorgeous. -__-
@mj rockfort That's no coincidence, buddy. Private land = mined, developed, ruined land.
Have driven this route in the past and will again this spring. Absolutely spectacular. Thanks for making this video!
I love this place, so thankful for SY taking me here all of the times we went 😢💔💜
UNE TRÈS BELLE BALLADE . THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Amazing! best wishes from Poland
I just drove this hiway from the south. I don't think there is a camera that can truly capture the incredible beauty here.
