Man, your channel is awesome! God bless the great people of America! You are our beacon of freedom! Greetings from Romania!
Thank you for the wonderful comment and for watching!
I have never fallen in love with such a perfect orchestration between Music, Scenery, and Highway until this video, especially on I-80.. .. btw freewayjim I traveled the I-80 portion of the stretching coming from Wyoming, going into Salt Lake City (originating from Atlanta, Destination Seattle) .. It was at night and I couldnt see the mountains and hills, I just knew they were there and I have always wanted to see it during the day.. and finally I got to see it!
Thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it.
FreewayJim: “We really need to clean the windshield.”
Song: “Wiper, wiper…”
🤣
LOL, it can be a real challenge sometimes.
The music fits this video like a glove, Jim. And the video brings back fond (and not so fond) memories of Parley's Canyon. I almost caused a major accident going downhill in 1987. I was just learning how to drive a big rig, and it was literally my first attempt at using an engine brake. I believe "Oh my God, we're gonna die" is still echoing through the Canyon!
Thank you and that's quite a feat for a young driver, wow, glad you made it down in one piece!
This drive is even more beautiful in the fall, with all the fall colors.
Excellent video Jim! The scenery is gorgeous and the music is perfect. 🙂
Thank you very much!
Beautiful view, It s like being on vacation behind my computer. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
soo relaxing to watch your videos.. as always, thank you for the videos and for all the other road warriors out there...
Thank you for watching!
A me lo Utah mi piace tantissimo. Si rimane a bocca aperta dalla naturale bellezza di questo stato. Fantastico tutto.
I finally had the chance to see this Saturday afternoon after a very hectic week. Great mountain scenery with some laid back vintage tunes. Glad I caught in on my big screen with the Yamaha blasting the tunes!
Glad you liked it, thanks!
your videos, I learn about the United States on the roads and on the songs. Perfect.
Thank you for watching!
Greetings from NH FreewayJim....perfect Jethro Tull opening song, "Farm on the Freeway". He was a rich man before, now he has a million dollars and a pickup truck.
Thank you Dennis, I'm a NH native myself.
@@Freewayjim Think I picked that up on your Franconia Notch tour. Around 0*F but with less snow than predicted, colder up North. Cheers...
Really enjoy the music selections and the subtle editing that goes along with it.
Thank you very much!
@@Freewayjim I really love you videos. This video seems like Grand Turismo video game when you speed up the filming. I live in Miami and the landscape is soooo boring. 😢
@@billjames3030 Thank you!
Phenomenal drive, you do not disappoint (FreewayJim)... Love the way you handle the road despite the gorgeous scenery in front of you...
Thank you! This was an out of the way but fun drive, we had the time to do it so why not?
I agree with George! Kudos for a wonderful download, from CT!
Thank you very much!
I love Utah. Such an amazing place.
The views in Utah are way nicer than my area
Man! I remember this drive when I was a teen with my Uncle and Grandpa I didn't appreciate it then! Such pretty land!
Starting 2017 on a high note....what a gorgeous drive! Plus you've got great taste in music, that track went perfectly with the video. Well done!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.
Another great video. I find myself, like a lot of your followers, looking forward to the new videos every week now. Parts of this brings me to mind of two highways here. The windy section of the WV Turnpike. Remember that section well travelling to and from NC. It also brought me to mind of I-68 from Morgantown to Cumberland. That one could make for a great video.
Love the music selections as always. Have never been a huge fan of Jethro Tull, but I find myself making an exception for this one mainly because it's one I've never heard before.
Again, great video and happy new year, Jim.
Thank you very much and Happy New Year to you!
Man I got nervous @5:55 I thought that truck was going to come over to the right lane and smush you.
Thanks for the video fantastic scenery.
Thank you for watching!
I live in NH and I thought the White Mountains were impressive... 😳 I’ve always been a fan of Utah and this vid makes me want to move there as a backup in case I decide to move out of NH. Thanks for the vid man!
Thank you for watching, I'm originally from NH and thought the White Mountains were all that....until I went out west.
WOW. That was absolutely amazing, incredible, unbelievable and very breathtaking. The scenery was phenomenal. The music was perfect for every part of the trip. Thanx for posting this.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the kind comment.
Earlier this year, I was on I-80 West heading to Salt Lake from Denver and at 11:17 , I stopped at the rest area to just to see the amazing scenery!
Very nice run, Jim - we did the Westbound chunk of I-84 from Echo down to Ogden back in late June of 2012, and I thought it was a very nice run , one of the best stretches of our entire NJ to UT trip.
Thank you very much!
A drive through canyons that fits in with the new year. Excellent job, Freewayjim!
Thank you!
This is a great video!!! beautiful landscapes!! thank you very much for your dedication!!!☺👍👍👍
This lamb wishes you a happy new year.
There was lots of yummy vegetation along these roads. This lamb surely won't be hungry. 😋
And as an added bonus: button copy. A rare unicorn in Utah this lamb is sure now days.
Great work.
Thank you and happy new year!
I gotta get back out there! Enjoyed this, thanks!
Thank you for watching!
This is my favorite video of yours xD
Thanks, glad you like it!
Thanks for posting, Jim. May you have many more road trips in 2017. Happy New Year.
Thank you Bill, Happy New Year!
Beautiful Utah. We stopped at the Taggart exit on a trip and had lunch at the Taggart Grill. Great food al fresco canyon wall oasis grotto with peacocks in the yard. What a great memory.
I have been on part of Interstate 80 from Salt Lake City to Park City. Very nice stretch of interstate, and it is nice in the winter as well. All of I-80 & I-84 in this video are very neat, for sure.
Thank you
Just discovered your channel and I feel so lucky! It's poetic to watch your videos. You have excellent taste in music Jim! I have been to the United States thrice and have always loved the drives on the highways. Your videos make me feel like I am on the same roads again! So thank you for that. Also, you should look at creating playlists of these songs!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy the tunes and the rides.
I love this video, the music choices are really spot on with the great scenery. Really reminds of when I lived out west.
Thank you very much!
I bet you've seen some scary stuff on these trips. I used to drive 6 to 8hrs each day, and you know the risks. I appreciate your work here. Beautiful music,beautiful scenery, an excellent quality. Thank you.
Thank you David, my average day on one of these trips is 12-14 hours and I really have not seen much scary stuff over the years surprisingly enough.
Freewayjim It’s a lucky thing you weren’t Burger Planet when the huge Lakewood I-70 crash happened. If I were Burger Planet I’d be freaking out even more than he did.
Absolutely marvelous. Love the videos. Keep it up!
Thank you Adam!
Happy New Year! Great video. I loved the music, especially the first song.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
Very nice ride, always good to see canyon roads as well- makes me really appreciate how diverse, different freeways are and all! Hope to one day explore some of these roads myself! Happy New Year by the way!!!!
Thanks and Happy New year!
thanks for the upload. This is one of the routes that I take my motorcycle on, I just go the opposite direction. It is very relaxing. take care.
Thanks, would love to see it in the opposite direction as well.
Love this Utah videos.
Thank you!
Happy New Year's and Thanks for uploading the video!
You are welcome and Happy New Year!
I liked the music and the video. Have a blessed day Freewayjim & Happy New Year! ^_^
Thanks
I thank you so much
You're welcome
Great soundtrack for a great ride, Jim. This is the type of ride that really makes me miss driving in the mountains of Southern California; Florida's too flat.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
My wife has an aunt that lives in Coalville, we live in Bountiful, so we drive that route quite regularly.
Another great video with an even better soundtrack. Hadn't heard Tull's "Farm On The Freeway" in years. Brings back good memories with friends long past.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
really very well videos. thank you so much. also musics are wondwerful.
Thank you for watching!
That’s it. I am packing now to move there. I miss trees. 26 years in AZ and NM.
I lived in salt lake city for 10 years and drove truck from 1990 to 1994 and if I could I would skip parleys canyon I would take 84 instead and come in from the north thanks for the memories I like ur videos pretty cool anyways be safe out there . Thanks again
The Utah Canyons sure are the most attractive views of the Rocky Mountains in Utah.
That was a great ride and well worth going out of the way for. And you clinched I-84. Great music choices also. Digging that "metal" flute of Jethro Tull!
Thank you! yes I have no regrets, just wish the weather was a little better and it's always good to clinch an Interstate. Speaking of Tull, I'll have to fit Aqualung into a video someday :)
Good road, Utah is a huge state. Cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀
Beautiful scenery
wow sir you aare the vibe master
LOL, Thank you!
Hi FreewayJim & UA-camrs Sure do Enjoy Your Traveling Videos & The Music Played!
Great video to kick off the New Year! Lol! That is definitely some scenery!,
Thank you, yes it was a fun drive.
I hope you had a happy New Year and some more roads to go on!
Thank you!
Beautiful canyons of Utah...the remarkable Mormon State.
Beautiful landscape
Those Wasatch Mountains got me 'wow' 👌
Nice video Jim, I used to live in Utah, and make me miss there ):
Thank you!
Thanks FMJ 👀😎
Thank you for watching!
This Utahn loved it. Thanks Jim!
Thank you, a great state to drive in.
beautiful!
Thank you!
Amazing view with music. Thanks a lot. Have a fantastic new year 2017
Thank you very much!
Percorso fantastico per una visuale paesaggistica a dir poco meravigliosa. Filmati bellissimi anche se velici.
Thank you
Happy New Year and great job!
Thanks, Happy New Year!
Happy New year freeway love you videos 😊😊😊😊
Happy New Year and thank you very much!
There's something about cruising through the mountains, bro. Awesome video.
Thank you, I love driving through the mountains.
Amazing video, Freewayjim.
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thanks
very nice. It looks much more lush and green that I would have expected around Salt Lake City. :-D I think I saw portions of this road in realtime awhile ago from BigRigTravel's channel.
Thank you and yes, it was definitely more green and lush in places than I was expecting.

IDK why but I always forget about this section of I-84! ... I always count 84 among the few highways I've ever seen the entire length of ... ... and then I realize every time I go that way I'm headed for SLC, so I've never seen the section east of I-15. (I think my next trip to SLC will involve a slight detour... :) ).
Going westbound on I-80 in Utah at the 84 split there is an overhead sign that says "I-84 Ogden Portland" and "I-80 Salt Lake City San Francisco"
I enjoy drive with music
Thank you!
US-40 East brings you to Atlantic city, NJ from I-80 Utah exit 140. SLC to Atlantic City with a RV should be I-80 East to Patterson NJ Exit 57 RT-19 South for GS Parkway south to exit 38 a distance of 117 Miles. Alternative route is I-80-PA-33-78-22-287-18-Parkway-ACE. Note RT-18 to parkway is exit 105 13
Jim, have you traveled eastern part I-84 west of Waterbury, CT to I-81 near Scranton, PA (The Office). I know you Traveled I-84 east of Waterbury.
Yes I have traveled all of it.
Like your music choice
Thank you!
merci et super pour la musique
Thank you
It's interesting to play certain scenes at "actual speed" at .25 so it's more like traveling at 75 and catching the details. Also, it's interesting to hear "Undone" by the Guess Who at .5 or .75 as if it was sung as a slow bluesy version.
Hi FreewayJim & UA-camrs hope Everyone had a Pleasant New Years 2017-! Anyway May the Weather be for You because we UA-camrs Enjoy Your Driving/Travel Videos & Music!
Thanks, Happy New Year!
At 6:37 is that a big M on the side of the mountain? Do you know the story behind it?
I think it's for a local High School or small college
probably Morgan High school
It is Morgan based, it is Morgan high school
I’m from Utah. Utah puts letters on the sides of the mountains everywhere. The M on that mountain stands for Morgan which is the town. Mainly they are by high schools which are who does the letters. There was a U on one mountain before he enters the first canyon because that’s the Uintas.
Awesome video!
Great quality👍
What kind of camera do you use for your drive lapse videos?
Thank you very much, my gear is listed in the closing credits, I use a Sony HDR-JP 710 Handycam.
Have you ever been on interstate 81 in Syracuse
Yes I have but have not filmed it.
Great video. What kind of camera did you use?
Thank you, my gear is listed in the closing credits (Sony HDR-PJ710).
Was that snow on the mountain tops? How lovely! How do you get to drive around so many places???
These are just taken on road trips/vacations, I usually take one big trip a year.
One thing that mildly annoys me about the interstate system is that I-70 terminates in the middle of Utah. Imo, to take a true East-West roadtrip, one simply must drive I-70 in Colorado (Of course, if one feels like it, taking back roads is awesome, I mean, who can argue with trail ridge road?), but I-70 only takes you to Utah. Of course, if one wanted to only take one interstate for the entire trip, then they could just take I-80---but---then they miss out on the Rockies. Of course, taking the same interstate Coast-to-Coast doesn't really matter, so one can just take the full length of I-70, then take I-15 up to I-80.
Man, I have that much to rant about interstate numbers?
Great video by the way, Jim!
Thank you, I-70 ending where it does doesnt bother me but I do see your point.
Or you could take the southern route on I-10 during the winter months. Another route is I-40 although it ends in Barstow, CA not quite all the way to the coast.
The US 40 intersection you showed is the western terminus of US 40.
Happy new year FWJ!!! May the new year bring another big trip for you, have you considered going back to Cali or going to the northeast this year?
Happy New Year, I have no idea what's in store for this year, got a lot going on in the real world.
Bonne Année et un bonjour depuis la suisse
Interestingly enough there is also a section of I-84 in Connecticut.
Caeshristopher Buckley
It's probably another I-84. Years ago I-84 was called I-80n but it caused confusion. I remember a truck driver in Brigham City (21 miles north of Ogden) asking where I-80 was. In order to tell him I had to ask where he wanted to go. When he said Idaho I directed him to what was then I-80n which today is I-84. I-84 in the west leads to Portland Oregon thru Idaho. I-80 passes through Nevada to San Francisco.
Great drive once again! Also, what video editor do you use?
Thanks, I use Final Cut Pro X by Apple, my gear is posted in the closing credits.
Freewayjim Thanks ;)
Look at the mountains
11:19 why is the view area numbered exit 166
What was the "U" and "M" letters on the mountains early in the video for?
I don't know., maybe someone else does.
They stand for the local high schools in the area. Just like the University of Utah has a large U above campus, some of the local high schools in Utah also place letters on the mountains above their schools.
Yes johann is correct, it represents the high schools, colleges, high schools, and the different cities in Utah
Yep
what is the average speed of your car?
Maybe 5-10 over the speed limit
Boy the cloudy weather in this video makes me tired
Hauled a few haz loads thru here on my way to California. Fun😐
Didn't know the the mountains on I-80 are right on the Salt Lake city limits. I guess eastward expansion of the city is out of the question.
Yes it really is, the Wasatch Mountains run for quite a distance north-south, check it out on Google Earth sometime, it's pretty neat.
