Trucker here; I have never noticed this. I'll have to look for it next time, I'm that way. But, that is cool thing about u'r channel. You seem to be able, to stop and smell the roses. Most of us truckers just see yellow and white lines. So, keep up the good work.
I used to live outside of Ogden and have driven this way many many times on my way to the Uinta mountains. I always marveled at the Devils Slide. I never knew about the 1000 mile tree. I miss the lack of people in the mountains and the slower pace of living. California is just too crazy. Thanks for the video! Great job.
Steve, you and the family always know how to make the best out of a challenging situation. And that’s what leads to your wonderful and always interesting videos. Thanks again.
Love your informative videos! As everyone knows, last names take on a life of their own, phonetically speaking. Weber is pronounced Wee-bur. Cheers from Utah.
@@SidetrackAdventures In the late seventies, this California boy was transferred to Hill AFB. I, too, pronounced the name like the bread. You absolutely cannot imagine the dirty looks I got!
Thanks for your videos of so many cool out of the way places. I live near the Devil's Slide and was allowed on the property that it is on and noticed that the east wall is completely covered in fossilized lizard tracks, bird tracks and ripple marks left when the limestone was just mud long ago. I took quite a few pictures but I lost them unfortunately. Also the original 1000 mile Tree sign is in the Railroad Museum in the Union Station in Ogden. Looking forward to your future videos !
Spent Thu-Sun mid-July in Henefer at a campground on the Weber River, just a bit east of the Devil's Slide. Stopped for pics and geology review. LOTS of tubers & rafters in the river. That's pronounced wee burr river.
Great video! Thanks! Lots of people totally just pull over into the construction area while the viewing area is closed, there's lots of room for a few cars to park. Going through that canyon sure is spectacular!
Just a thought, If one was contemplating whether or not, to carry a inexpensive rod and reel set up with lite tackle in their vehicles kit that beautiful stream has the answer!
I went to high school in Ogden and college at the University of Utah. I passed by that Devil’s slide at least 50 times, because we would drive to Wyoming to drink beer (at that time, the drinking age in Wyoming was 18). I’m now a Californian, so I haven’t seen it in decades. It’s good to see it again. BTW, it’s the WEEBER river. 😃
Brief and wonderful !! Great info, fantastic stories with good editing...My wife and I look forward to your travels every week. THANK YOU and your family for taking us along..Cheers from Detroit 🇺🇲 God Bless America 🇺🇸
Another great and interesting video. Thank you. If the Devil's Slide meant enough for your predecessor to have a photo of it, it seems strange you don't have any family stories about it.
I use to live not far from here. Just up the canyon. Most people don’t know it there because they are speeding by so fast. This is something I do when traveling, ask a local how to pronounce names if not sure. I lived in Washington state and boy some of those names are a brutal to pronounce.
I live in the Ogden area and always love seeing this as a drive by. I had no idea about the 1000 mile tree and will have to look for it now. Too bad everything cool is on private property.
Isn't that how it always goes? Everything seems to be named "Devil's ___" (insert word of choice there). 😂 Gotta say though... that's one hell of a geological formation. I had never heard of it before. Earth is a crazy crazy place sometimes.
I wasn't aware of it either.There's a Devil's Slide in California but when I saw the picture I was pretty puzzled till I Google it.. oddly it was the only photo in the album that wasn't of people or a boat. Lol
Hi, Have you done a video on the San Pasqual battle field off of 78 near the wild animal park. Been in Colorado 24 years and haven't visited the headwaters of the Colorado yet. I am inspired by your videos!
I had plans to do a video on it, and I have something somewhat loosely related coming up, but despite everything else being open after the pandemic, the battlefield is still closed.
I used to hitchhike and right before you enter Provo canyon the road splits there is a street light I was standing under neath it was starting to snow I was unprepared was wishing for a ride but no traffic.while I was standing there this man appeared next to me dressed in shorts and a day pack spoke with a heavy cockney English accent and had intense blue eyes and fiery red hair basically to watch what I wished for and offered me a place to sleep in a cave on the hill I declined he walked up the canyon just before the curve i yelled that maybe i would take him up on his offer.i tried to jog to catch up i got around the bend he was no where to be seen one side of the canyon is the river the other is the road and strait canyon wall.i dont know where he went.i found a picnic area and turned the tables over and made a shelter it snowed two feet .I ended up trying to walk up the canyon no traffic but road personal showed up and gave me a ride up the canyon to a cafe by devils slide on the radio gratefuldead was playing on the radio the song was friend of the devil in the song they say the guy sez he sold his soul for 20$ in Utah in a cave up on the hill.same place you decide.still broke still have my soul.
I was born and raised in Utah (but thankfully escaped to Southern California in 2005!), and though I'm familiar with a great many of the geological wonders there, I'd never seen nor heard of the Devil's Slide before today. I'll have to check it out the next time I visit. One quick note on Weber Canyon: It's pronounced Wee-Burr, not Webber. Of course, Hurricane is pronounced "HUR-ick-uhn", Santaquin is pronounced "Santa Quinn" instead of the correct "Santa Keen", "Juab" is pronounced "Jew-ab" instead of "Wabb", etc, etc. In fact, now that I think about it, this is probably why I pronounced San Jacinto as "San Jack-IN-tow" when I first moved here. 🤦♂
Whenever we would drive past Devil's Slide as a kid, my Grandpa would point it out and tell us "thats where Jack Frost chased the devil down the slide into hell!'. Apparently my Dad was told the same story by his Grandpa when he was a kid. No idea if that's local folklore or just a quirky story within our family.
Love your video. But Weber is actually pronounced Weeber. I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley of California and found out how it's pronounced after I moved to Utah.
Nice video! But it’s Weeeeeber, not Webbbbber! 😂 I’ve been up that canyon dozens of times and seen Devil’s Slide, but never even heard of the 1,000 mile tree.
Just a heads up. Weber is pronounced weeber. If it was pronounced your way it would have 2 b's. Webber. So the word weber seen often in Northern Utah is pronounced wee-ber
"Right now we're in a hotel, as you can tell by the cool artwork that you can only find in a hotel." LOL! Great line, Steve!
Trucker here; I have never noticed this. I'll have to look for it next time, I'm that way.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words and appreciate what you do for us as a trucker too!
I've watched a bunch of your videos and you have a great handle on history of everywhere sir.
Good video. It's "Wee-burr" canyon.
Cheers.
Once again Steve, Mother Nature shows us that she has all the best spots. Thanks for another top notch video, cheers mate! UK.

Great short video. FYI, the first "e" in Weber is long. Pronounced Weeber. Just subscribed.
I'm glad You take time to do these videos! I lived in Salt Lake, Billings, and Cheyenne yet never saw these places. Love that region.
Glad you like them!
Great geological formation!
I hope this dude travels through Utah more in the future. These videos made me feel like I was back home, if only for just a few minutes.
I should be there in a few months.
@@SidetrackAdventures I can’t wait to see what you turn up!
Steve, on all your videos you really strive to find as much information as possible......
thank you
I have a picture in this in my aunt's photo album from the 20s. Always wondered about it.
Thanks for the tour I love knowing about the stuff I see when I’m riding by
Thanks for the info, never heard of it but will certainly keep it in mind on my upcoming travels in the area.
amazing story with grandparent picture, well made video with a nice explanation if I ever go there (ski trip maybe) I'll make sure to visit
Steve, you and the family always know how to make the best out of a challenging situation. And that’s what leads to your wonderful and always interesting videos. Thanks again.
That's so cool! I grew up in Utah and never once heard about these two fascinating landmarks.
I just drove this road twice in the last week. I never knew Devil's Slide existed. I will check it out the next time I am out that way. Thanks Steve.
Pretty wild looking formations
It looks a lot bigger in person too.
Love your informative videos! As everyone knows, last names take on a life of their own, phonetically speaking. Weber is pronounced Wee-bur. Cheers from Utah.
Thanks, I had no idea. I've only seen it written.
@@SidetrackAdventures In the late seventies, this California boy was transferred to Hill AFB. I, too, pronounced the name like the bread. You absolutely cannot imagine the dirty looks I got!
In actuality the name Weber is a German name, it should be pronounced "Veh-burr!" meaning Weaver in English.
Thank you for posting. You are a great story teller.
That is awesome, never heard of that even though I've known about the 1000 mi tree since a kid. Gotta add that to my list of stuff I want to see...
What a great little off the beaten track channel. I'm really enjoying this thanks! Greetings from Perth Western Australia.
Glad you enjoy it!
Good video. Love how there are many more references to "the devil" in Utah as descriptive landmarks. This has got to "irk" some folks!
Thanks for your videos of so many cool out of the way places. I live near the Devil's Slide and was allowed on the property that it is on and noticed that the east wall is completely covered in fossilized lizard tracks, bird tracks and ripple marks left when the limestone was just mud long ago.

Thanks for the info!
I’ve been past there a lot & never knew about the tree.
I live 50 miles away from there.
Thanks for posting, I remember being absolutely mesmerized by this unique geological feature while heading to Snowbasin for a ski trip
Amazing the way two sides formed with limestone so close together.
Nature is so beautiful. It has many things to offer. Great content Friend.

I thought about it but I didn't want to chance it.
Just a thought, If one was contemplating whether or not, to carry a inexpensive rod and reel set up with lite tackle in their vehicles kit that beautiful stream has the answer!
Good video. Found your channel from Mrs. Orcutt's Driveway. I like how you show less common sights, so I subscribed
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow, more beautiful country. I never heard of the devil's slide. Thank you.
I've never heard of the Devil's Side ot the 1000 mi tree. If I ever travel back to Utah will be on my to do list
I went to high school in Ogden and college at the University of Utah. I passed by that Devil’s slide at least 50 times, because we would drive to Wyoming to drink beer (at that time, the drinking age in Wyoming was 18).

So beautiful, thank you Steve
incroyable nature. Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it.
I've traveled through Utah several times but never heard of The Devils Slide.... next time I'll make an effort to go on Hwy 84! Thanks!
Great video. In Big Bend National Park ( west Texas), there are a lot of those lava type structures near the base if the Chisos mountains.
Well, you can miss the Devil's Slide, because I sure did!
Thanks for adding to my "need to see" list!
As always, love your content and style!
Brief and wonderful !! Great info, fantastic stories with good editing...My wife and I look forward to your travels every week. THANK YOU and your family for taking us along..Cheers from Detroit 🇺🇲 God Bless America 🇺🇸
Thanks so much!
Thanks! Steve Never heard of it
That’s cool, I’ve never heard of that before
Good enough. Keep them coming.
Love it! I had no idea that some many place names in Utah referred to the devil. Makes you wonder…
I might be able to take that route in a month on my way south. Neat to see the vid!
Its worth it if you are heading that way. Very few cars and great scenery.
Well done. Solid writing.
THANK YOU,,HAVE FUN..LOTS MARKERS ON UT.WY ,EAST SLOPE AND DONNER PARTY STUFF..SAFE TRAVELS,,,
Another great and interesting video. Thank you. If the Devil's Slide meant enough for your predecessor to have a photo of it, it seems strange you don't have any family stories about it.
My great grandmother died when I was one and I don't recall my grandmother ever mentioning it, but she kept a picture of it for some reason I'm sure.
Weeeeeeber Canyon!

My old stomping grounds. 👍 ❤

It is pronounced We-Ber Canyon, Webber is the bbq

This reminds of “The China Wall” in southern Colorado.
Thanks for taking the time to explain this interesting formation. Wonder how many pass by without ever noticing it?
Thank you. Its pretty hard not to notice it. The video doesn't really do it justice for how big it is.
Looks a lot like Nelson Rocks (NROCKS) in West Virginia. 🙂
Whenever we would drive past Devil's Slide as a kid, my Grandpa would point it out and tell us "thats where Jack Frost chased the devil down the slide into hell!'.

Tea Stipend!
Thank you so much. Always appreciate it.
I'd hate to see what the Devil's Ball Crawl looks like......
I've been there
On my way to ogden
You sure do get around, don't you? 💋❤️💋😍💋❤️✌️✌️✌️🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸
And it is on private property
I wonder if anyone has ever walked down, or slide down the center?
I don't think you can slide, at least not safely,, but people used to climb in it.
👍🙂🇺🇸
It’s pronounced We Bur canyon!
No one cares
Build a ski resort for Texans.
People tend to disappear, or go missing in areas of granite and/or bodies of water. Be careful. Carry a personal locator beacon and a satellite phone.
0:08 LOL. Like how hasn't anyone ever caught a Gideon placing their bibles in the top drawer of every motel and hotel in the country?
Funny how stuff gets it's name...
"Weber" is pronounced "wee-ber" locally
Road work is the work of the devil.
Just a heads up. Weber is pronounced weeber. If it was pronounced your way it would have 2 b's. Webber. So the word weber seen often in Northern Utah is pronounced wee-ber
քʀօʍօֆʍ 🤦
Your pronunciation of Weber is totally wrong sorry to let you know.
That was great! Another place that I’ve never heard of. 👍☮️🌞❤️🗺🛣🏔
Glad you enjoyed it.
