    In the spring there is a one week window when all the flowers you don't see bloom and the canyon is a riot of color .One of natures wonders .

    That wide spot you pass at about 1:40 is immediately after the second right hand turn. Great private safe quiet spot to spend the night. Last time I did that it was a full moon coming over the ridge. Awesome!

    Really enjoyed the "Creek Whistle" music to go with the beautiful scenery. Would it posible for you to record 'just the engine' working hard the next time you are hauling 43,000 lbs up a road like this please? I love listening to a good big diesel engine on full song and pulling hard.
    Keep well and safe travels.

    It's like an alternate universe. Right this second I'm climbing out of St George. Just went through the gorge a few minutes ago. River is flowing high right now!
    ETA: Proof this is current footage (other than river flow) is that you crossed Bridge 1 in the right lane! They just finished that and opened it up a couple days ago! Hope it doesn't take 2 more years to finish the rest of the bridge project 😆

    This video brought back a flood of good memories. Had the pleasure of going through the Virgin River Gorge three times. It was a punctuation mark to the many eye popping, gob smacking vistas and mind blowing geology I saw during my haul from Newfoundland to L.A. Down in the gorge one felt insignificant. Once west of Council Bluffs the lay of the land became even more interesting and westward from Denver on the I-70 it was visual sensory overload. It was difficult to concentrate on driving. The Glenwood Canyon, Grand Junction area, and the San Rafael Swell were some of the other highlights. I think it is safe to say that the U.S. is probable the only country to have such a varied landscape. And so accessible. Canada has it's share of beautiful vistas but many are hard to get to. It was a great memory trip. I really enjoy your videos .
