@@User-vbhhnvgjmt from what we have seen of China, we love it! Hopefully one day can go to the rainbow mountain there and Tiananmen Mountain (hope I spelled that right). So far we have only been to Hong Kong and Macau, both times for work
My mother and I moved to Utah from Northern Ireland when I was young. I’ve lived here the majority of my life and I can’t ever see myself leaving. The beauty is astounding and everything about it has gotten in my blood.
I always associate Utah, with Mormons, and my experience with them has been very negative….however, putting that aside, would love to see and experience Mother Nature……but it’s stressful having to spend my money in Mormon businesses……soooo, I will have to enjoy your trips….thanks for sharing….. seen all of it from the skies during a return trip from the UK…..❤️🇺🇸….
Haha that’s funny! I am in Alabama and for the last couple of years we just started exploring our state and are finding out that there are soooo many beautiful and awesome places that we had no idea was here. And I have lived here my entire life of 47 years. Y’all truly have a amazing and alien like state and we will plan on trying to make a trip next fall to see most of this.
I visited Utah on mid July. Amazing experience!! I envy the people from that state is like living in a PC wallpaper picture!! Dune, canyons, arch, salt planes, desert, dunes. Etc.

So grateful to have been born here in Utah. I'm 35 years old and I still look at Utah's geography in awe. Walking distance from my house is the Wasatch Front Mountains and go hiking in them almost every day
Chuckles R Us, Did I hear him right? Did he mention a couple times that Hanksville is in Central Utah? I have lived in Utah my whole life and for the 1st 45 years I lived in Mt. Pleasant which is actually smack dab in the center of Utah. In fact it's known as "Hub City" because it's the official center of Utah. I've lived in Coalville for the past 6 years though. I've never been to Hanksville but I know it's way down south by Lake Powell.
Hey thanks so much for watching! If you enjoyed this video it would mean the world to me if you could give it a thumbs up and subscribe! Lots more to come!
@@hmoobmua3067 they are located outside Hanksville Utah. Very close to the Mars Research Station. Here is a link and address. mars research station utah
@@ash7675 Illegal illsmeagal, who cares!! It's because of people like Kevin that great work is displayed to the world 🌎, especially for us that will never see such splendor without these awesome videos!
@@richbarney4281 why wont you ever see such splendor? Are you lazy or in prison? Its illegal for many reasons. Most people who venture into congressional designated wilderness hate the sound of drones. Thats why they went there! Ahh one other reason... for those drone pilots who respect others in the wilderness and the federal law. when one dumb ass breaks it and shares it for followers or vanity it make drone pilots look bad and more ensuing regulations will come around cause of this kook
And photographer Michael Fatali decided to light a huge stack of pallets inside delicate arch to film the effects for a ‘photo op’ Luckily the park ranger saw the smoke and fire and raced up and arrested Fatali and fined him 15,000 dollars and BANNED him from Arches NP forever. His business basically began to collapse as former clients doubted their pricey photos were real ie contrived and in poor taste. The scars are still in Delicate Arch even after restoration
At least Michael was honorable enough to apologize to me after I called him out for his atrocities, I think he got religion and some really bad karma. I took my two Fatali photographs down. Bad bad Michael Fatali. He had everything going right until his bad judgement.
Great video, 20 places in 15 minutes, no time wasted. Heading to Utah in a week and this will help fill my time there very well. Thanks for the video/information.
Wow .. I mean like Wow. What a classic piece of art .. so well done with the drone footage absolutely stunning. I'm going to leave my camera/tripod behind and just take my phone . Please keep em coming ! Seriously, your work is astounding.
I love that this video is up and here!! I've lived in Utah for 60 years and there are places here that I've never seen and will never see for myself in person except for videos like this where at least I can see those terrific places! 🙂
I am also a Utah native with homes in both the northern and southern parts of the state. Utah’s national parks are so exceptional that the state parks and forests are often overlooked. Yet they would be national parks in other states, that are not similarly blessed. Examples, Snow Canyon, Bryan Head, etc. It’s easy to get away from the crowds.
I enjoyed your aerial videos. Utah truly is a beautiful state with so many wonderful areas to visit. I've lived in Utah my whole life and have been to 14 of the places you mention on your list. I use to to visit some of these areas as a kid with my family, and we would be the only people around, now, not so much. It is getting harder and harder to find isolation in the wild areas of Utah. I had to smile at the way you pronounced some of the locations, i.e. "Zion", "Uintas" and "Bonneville". Just talk to one of the locals, they will tell you how to pronounce the names correctly. Have fun out there!
I agree about the crowds. I visited Utah “many” years ago, very beautiful & very pleasant. Visited again “several” years ago still beautiful, but crowded & not being a local we sort of felt we were looked down upon by the locals. I hope we’re wrong.
The noise from motorized vehicles has destroyed the peacefulness in Arches, and the long lines to get in during summer are sickening. Too many people!!! 😔
The 6 of us friends went and made it to these places in an RV in May 2019, just before the COVID and in love with them. So glad we were there. Can not describe the beauty. Not sure when we can visit again but sure wish we can. May be one of these days when all of the crazy things going on with this world ended then we can, I wish
Great list of some wonderful places here in Utah. Have lived here my entire life (46 years), have seen so many more incredible places to visit. Gunlock State Park, Goblin valley, Antelope island, and so many more. Having heavily traveled the entire southwest, Utah is one of the most beautiful states in America today!

Kevin: Nice selection. You got some of my favorites. My grandfather took me on Jeep Safaris starting when I was 5. I am 67 now. The first time I visited Temple of the Sun, Moon, Goblin Valley, Factory Butte, various Bentonite hills and other unnamed places. In the late 50’s, Grandpa and uncle, had articles that were among the first to document less common arches, the Maze, and much of what is now Canyonlands N.P. They also did a lot in what is now Capitol Reef and many things south. Off the Hole-in-the-Rock road, up Davis Gulch nearly to Lake Powell, is Bement Arch, named after my uncle. In 1996, we went to the Temples to do night photography. This required overland travel as the nice roads did not exist. Anyway, loved your video! My age and different injuries prevent difficult hikes now. So I will get my desert fix from your videos. Thanks and safe travels!
Some of my favorites ☺️ 1: Observation Point in Zions, second highest point in Zions and the view is absolutely beautiful, start early it's a decent hike up. 2: Geodefields in dugway, an empty and secluded bed filled with hundreds of untouched geodes that you can dig up, crack open, and take home. Super cool being able to break open nature geodes. 3: rock Canyon: perfect for rock climbing of all levels and as you hike up there's a few caves you can go inside too. 4: Millcreek Canyon: Personal favorite in the summertime to see beautiful greenery and if you go high enough you can reach dog lake which is a cool treat after a good hike up there
Totally awesome great video bru. Thank you for sharing this incredible video i enjoy every single minute of it. UTAH has awesome amazing spot, places parks to visit. I sure do miss BeUTAHful
Great video of some great Utah locations - some of which I never heard of, even though I lived in Utah for several years. One place I'm surprised you didn't have on your list is Goblin State Park. It is northwest of Moab and rather isolated, but some extremely unique rock formations. Also thought you might mention Uranium Arch near Moab (not an easy arch to get to).
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. I have a top 10 video that includes places that aren't national parks and I talk about goblin valley! Also I have a dedicated video to Goblin Valley, I love that place. However, I have not been to Uranium arch, I'll have to check it out!
We live in Texas, but I LOVE Utah. I've been to the salt flats, hiked to Mesa Arch (although not at sunrise!), hiked to the Cove of Caves. We also went 4-wheeling in Arches, and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, I'm no longer able to hike, so we'll have to stick to the 4-wheeling now. But I'll be back!
Just visited Moab area and specifically canyonlands National Park and Arches N. P. I especially discovered Dead Horse Point state park and believed it almost best of all three based on views and color during various sun angles or sunrise and sunset. I definitely wish to return and see some areas that you visited here
Great list. I was a huge fan of Zion's Canyon Overlook trail when I went last year. Great views of the valley from a high vantage point, but far less strenuous and dangerous than Angel's Landing. A really great alternative that you can finish in an hour or less.
Great video. I'm so looking forward to when the Can/US border finally opens up and we're able to do our Utah canyoneering road trips again. Anyway, here are a few more spots you might want to check out. IMO the most scenic canyon I've done would be Pine Creek in Zion. The most enjoyable canyoneering outing was Chambers, followed by Little Bull in the afternoon. And the coolest feature has got to be the rappel through the Golden Cathedral at the end of Neon Canyon.
Thanks! I am glad you like it, I too cannot waittt for the us Canada border to open. I want to spend a summer again in the Canadian Rockies. And thanks for the recommendations! I haven’t ever done proper canyoneering but would like to sometime!
@@KevinEassa If you don't have climbing or canyoneering gear, I can still think of a few canyons you should do to get that canyoneering experience without needing a rope and harness. First I'd recommend the Dry Fork canyons (Peek-a-boo & Spooky Gulch) near Escalante as a good warmup. If you enjoy those, then Egypt 3 is a nice step up in difficulty that you'll probably enjoy as well. I also highly recommend doing the West Fork of Blue John Canyon at the top, and then funneling down through the lower canyon (Lower Main Fork section) until you reach the big drop/rappel. Then turn around and climb back up canyon the same way you came. Finally, Ding and Dang canyons make a fun outing as well.
Hey Kevin thank you for creating this video it was really well done and I am so inspired to road trip out to Utah! I really am interested though where the second shot of this video is with the red sand and round white/ beige walls. Thanks!
Kevin, I've hiked virtually all the Uintae trails. By a wide margin, the most beautiful day hike in the Uintae's is the Allsop Lake Trail. It's an all day grind (16.9 miles) but lots of soil, long flat stretches, and totally doable in a day for a reasonably in shape person. Look at photos of the Allsop Lake Trail on Alltrails. I have no idea why Amethyst Lake Trail gets more love. It shouldn't. Allsop Lake Trail in in a more lush, more steep valley with a meandering river and wildflowers (in summer) the whole way. Truly gorgeous.
Love utah. Northern and southern utah is so different and all special. One of the most under-rated states. Incredible hunting and fishing too. Little Sahara and Sand Mountain for riding ATV. Maple Canyon for world famous rock climbing.
@@chrishoppe2714 The Subway and The Narrows are two totally different hikes. They aren't even part of the same river or canyon, Virgin River for The Narrows and Left Fork North Creek for The Subway. The Subway isn't even in the main part of Zion NP, it's part of the Kolob Canyon area of the NP. Trust me, I've done both hikes and the two hikes are VERYYYY different and the Subway is not a part of The Narrows.
I'd like to add one to the list that so many people are unaware of. Nine mile canyon, which is just a few hour drive from the main valley (Provo). Incredible petroglyphs and the drive through the canyon is absolutely amazing and beautiful. Also, most site's throughout the canyon are reachable to even the novice climber.
you should definitely check out the Utah west desert, its an almost abandoned place with lots of scenic mountains and open valleys stretching from delta all the way past the Nevada border.
Thank you so much for your videos on Utah! I’m going there this summer so they’ve been very helpful! One thing to note, since April 2022 of this year, you DO need a permit to hike Angel’s Landing. They do a seasonal lottery drawing for those who have applied for the permit, and then they also have a daily permit lottery that you can enter the day before you plan on taking the hike.
Omgoshhh!!! I have been waiting for a sign for me to finally visit Utah and I believe that this is it! Amazing itinerary, I will definitely go next month! Booking my trip tonight! Thank you for this, just subscribed!!! I'' definitely follow your adventures, I shall also post a video of mine :D Thank you again for this!
Ahh that’s amazing! So stoked you booked your trip! It will be awesome. I’m so happy you liked this video, watched and subscribed. Thanks so much and enjoy your trip :)
Im looking forward to visiting Utah this year and wanting to see what’s some good hikes to do there and this video definitely helps. Utah looks so beautiful from all the places you’ve shown here.
Local pronunciations: Bon-nuh-ville salt flats, not Bonnie-ville. Zigh-un National Park, not Zigh-ON. The places shown are all great, (I'm familiar with many of them) but I wonder, Kevin, have you gone a bit farther north through the Logan Canyon area to Tony Grove Lake and "the Caribbean of the Rockies" -- Bear Lake. There are some great alpine hiking trails there as well.
@@kaypee4704 It's kind of like when many British (English) people, and even some New England people as well, mispronounce English by adding an "R" sound to words that don't even have an "R" in them. For example, "idea-r" instead of "idea." President Kennedy pronounced Cuba as Cuba-r. Don't get me started on how Brett Favre's last name is pronounced "FARVE!"
Hole in the rock and devils backbone both around escalate grand staircase national park. Hoke in the rock is a 4 x 4 road that takes almost 6 to 8 hours round trip to get back to the views. One of the most amazing places I've ever been.
Absolutely! Thank you. I don’t have any top 10’s or anything of Colorado but I do somewhat live there so I have an entire playlist of “hiking in colorful Colorado” with some destinations you might like to check out!
@@KevinEassa you (Now) know I will! I saved them all! Lol. I am headed to Zion & Bryce in 3 weeks. I’ll start there. 🤗 Greetings from somewhere close to Salt Lake City, UT. 🥳
Dude, super sick pics and vids of these amazing places. Very well done and very informative. I’m really curious what drone you use. I have a DJI Air2S that I’m still learning to fly.
Thanks so much! This video was shot over many years so it’s a mixture of the mavic 1 pro and the mavic 2 pro but I currently have the DJI air2s so all of my newer videos are on the same drone as you! It’s such an amazing model!
@@KevinEassa Thank you so much for the info and for your videos. It’s good to know that there are some cool beautiful places to fly without getting in trouble.
Photography is amazing. If you could list all the places mentioned in this vedio and provide a map to show their relative locations, it would be very helpful for us for our trip planning. Thank you.
Ha! Nothing special, these are from H & M actually and definitely not "hiking pants" but they are some of my favorites haha. If you go to any REI you can find a good pair of slim fit hiking pants though!
Thanks SO much for this amazing and exciting tour! I'm amazed that a non-native could capture so much of an unfamiliar state (now very familiar)! Here's a respectful FYI: Zion is pronounced zy-un, but that is very common among visitors 🙂. Also, it's farther (not further) when talking about physical distance. That is a VERY common mistake even the most highly educated people make ☺. Further is more of a mental distance, as in further more or further research is needed.
@@davidnilles3117 I had a few days in Colorado back in December, and Telluride and Ouray were so beautiful. The Million Dollar Highway is incredible...
@@KevinEassa we definitely should have. But we were limited. Did get to see quite a few things on your list. I want to go back and spend a solid 4-5 days in Moab and then at least 2-3 in Zion... We also didn't even get to do anything in the center of the state. Still so much to see. I'm constantly checking flights now, lol.
I have been to a place called Goblin Valley state park, it is next to little wild horse canyon. It is really cool. It has hoodoo that look like goblins, hence the name.
Awesome video, but more than half of them but there’s a few that I’ve been right by and didn’t even know were there like a parade of the elephants. Awesome information, looks like I got some more hiking to go to do.

A Utah native here. It's funny how a non-native can show me how little I know about my state. Most of these places I've never heard of.
Same here. I wasn’t born here. But I’ve been here since I was 3. My boyfriend knows way more about Utah than I do and he is from the East coast. Lol
Same!!
Lol don't feel bad. I'm 52, been here since the age of 13 and I haven't heard of or have but haven't visited these places.
Kinda the usual in a lot of places, the locals are meh, the visitors are all read up on it, but guess that's why they're visitors.

We live in Texas, but I LOVE Utah. I've been to the salt flats, hiked to Mesa Arch (although not at sunrise!), hiked to the Cove of Caves. We also went 4-wheeling in Arches, and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, I'm no longer able to hike, so we'll have to stick to the 4-wheeling now. But I'll be back!
Just visited Moab area and specifically canyonlands National Park and Arches N. P. I especially discovered Dead Horse Point state park and believed it almost best of all three based on views and color during various sun angles or sunrise and sunset. I definitely wish to return and see some areas that you visited here
Great list. I was a huge fan of Zion's Canyon Overlook trail when I went last year. Great views of the valley from a high vantage point, but far less strenuous and dangerous than Angel's Landing. A really great alternative that you can finish in an hour or less.
Thank you for this. Very informative and helpful for planning trips.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Superb images.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing, great visuals ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Great video. I'm so looking forward to when the Can/US border finally opens up and we're able to do our Utah canyoneering road trips again. Anyway, here are a few more spots you might want to check out. IMO the most scenic canyon I've done would be Pine Creek in Zion. The most enjoyable canyoneering outing was Chambers, followed by Little Bull in the afternoon. And the coolest feature has got to be the rappel through the Golden Cathedral at the end of Neon Canyon.
Thanks! I am glad you like it, I too cannot waittt for the us Canada border to open. I want to spend a summer again in the Canadian Rockies. And thanks for the recommendations! I haven’t ever done proper canyoneering but would like to sometime!
@@KevinEassa If you don't have climbing or canyoneering gear, I can still think of a few canyons you should do to get that canyoneering experience without needing a rope and harness. First I'd recommend the Dry Fork canyons (Peek-a-boo & Spooky Gulch) near Escalante as a good warmup. If you enjoy those, then Egypt 3 is a nice step up in difficulty that you'll probably enjoy as well. I also highly recommend doing the West Fork of Blue John Canyon at the top, and then funneling down through the lower canyon (Lower Main Fork section) until you reach the big drop/rappel. Then turn around and climb back up canyon the same way you came. Finally, Ding and Dang canyons make a fun outing as well.
We love Utah! ua-cam.com/users/shortsrWoyokvZgQc?feature=share
Very nice video! Greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Kevin for this beautiful video and information..
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is promontory point accessible by road and open for visitors?
Tons of useful information and great presentation. National Geographic traveler couldn't do any better in my opinion!
that's so awesome to hear you say that, thanks so much! and thanks for watching!
Thank you Kevin! Going to Yellowstone and then Arches in July, and all the info you’ve given is great!
So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching Tina!
Excellent video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Epic drone footage, I love this. Bryce Canyon will be my next adventure
Thanks so much! Bryce is awesome ! I have some videos from there as well
Hey Kevin thank you for creating this video it was really well done and I am so inspired to road trip out to Utah! I really am interested though where the second shot of this video is with the red sand and round white/ beige walls. Thanks!
I have been on top of angels landing …what an experience and breath taking … what more is there to say….
Kevin, I've hiked virtually all the Uintae trails. By a wide margin, the most beautiful day hike in the Uintae's is the Allsop Lake Trail. It's an all day grind (16.9 miles) but lots of soil, long flat stretches, and totally doable in a day for a reasonably in shape person.
Look at photos of the Allsop Lake Trail on Alltrails. I have no idea why Amethyst Lake Trail gets more love. It shouldn't. Allsop Lake Trail in in a more lush, more steep valley with a meandering river and wildflowers (in summer) the whole way. Truly gorgeous.
Love utah. Northern and southern utah is so different and all special. One of the most under-rated states. Incredible hunting and fishing too. Little Sahara and Sand Mountain for riding ATV. Maple Canyon for world famous rock climbing.
Utah is not underrated.
Thank you 🙏🏻 for this knowledgeable content , it’s an excellent job ✊🥰 keep safe , God bless you 🫂😘
So beautiful places! Thank you for the video. I'd like one day to visit those picturesque places. Btw i am watching you from Russia
epic video thank you
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful. I subscribed. New friends from Las Vegas
Thank you so much! I hope you like the channel!
Got to love it! The outdoors are getting to crowded now. Low key sad going to these places as a kid as the only one.
I was born in Utah I know everything about Utah it has breath taking nature
You should check out The Subway at Zion. It's probably my favorite hike/canyoneering experience in all of Utah
Subway is part of The Narrows in Zion so its pretty covered but doesn't sound like he went far enought
@@chrishoppe2714 The Subway and The Narrows are two totally different hikes. They aren't even part of the same river or canyon, Virgin River for The Narrows and Left Fork North Creek for The Subway. The Subway isn't even in the main part of Zion NP, it's part of the Kolob Canyon area of the NP. Trust me, I've done both hikes and the two hikes are VERYYYY different and the Subway is not a part of The Narrows.
My favorite state!❤️
One of the best! Thanks for watching!
Awesome Video Kevin!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you Doug!
Thank you for the video and information. Picked up a few places for my trip (The Mighty 5) this Fall.
Happy Hiking!
Hope you enjoy your trip! Thanks for watching!
I'd like to add one to the list that so many people are unaware of. Nine mile canyon, which is just a few hour drive from the main valley (Provo). Incredible petroglyphs and the drive through the canyon is absolutely amazing and beautiful. Also, most site's throughout the canyon are reachable to even the novice climber.
Planning a trip there at the end of April. Assume the roads & hiking will be void of snow & mud ?
you should definitely check out the Utah west desert, its an almost abandoned place with lots of scenic mountains and open valleys stretching from delta all the way past the Nevada border.
Noted! Will add it to the list next time I’m in the area!
Good video!! Direct and to the point with good descriptions throughout!! Enjoyed it !!!
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching!
Thank you brother for the inlightment
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for your videos on Utah! I’m going there this summer so they’ve been very helpful! One thing to note, since April 2022 of this year, you DO need a permit to hike Angel’s Landing. They do a seasonal lottery drawing for those who have applied for the permit, and then they also have a daily permit lottery that you can enter the day before you plan on taking the hike.
Omgoshhh!!! I have been waiting for a sign for me to finally visit Utah and I believe that this is it! Amazing itinerary, I will definitely go next month! Booking my trip tonight! Thank you for this, just subscribed!!! I'' definitely follow your adventures, I shall also post a video of mine :D Thank you again for this!
Ahh that’s amazing! So stoked you booked your trip! It will be awesome. I’m so happy you liked this video, watched and subscribed. Thanks so much and enjoy your trip :)
@@KevinEassa Yes I subbed right away!!! Thank you so much, looking forward to watch more of your contents!
Eu Amo ❤ Utah, Cidade de American Fork- UT Uma Cidade Incrivel.
Im looking forward to visiting Utah this year and wanting to see what’s some good hikes to do there and this video definitely helps. Utah looks so beautiful from all the places you’ve shown here.
Have fun! You will love your trip, thanks for watching
Local pronunciations: Bon-nuh-ville salt flats, not Bonnie-ville. Zigh-un National Park, not Zigh-ON. The places shown are all great, (I'm familiar with many of them) but I wonder, Kevin, have you gone a bit farther north through the Logan Canyon area to Tony Grove Lake and "the Caribbean of the Rockies" -- Bear Lake. There are some great alpine hiking trails there as well.
Perhaps, that’s how Americans pronounce it….but according to the spelling, he is correct….American Pronunciation, always screw up the language …..🙂🇺🇸
@@kaypee4704 It's kind of like when many British (English) people, and even some New England people as well, mispronounce English by adding an "R" sound to words that don't even have an "R" in them. For example, "idea-r" instead of "idea." President Kennedy pronounced Cuba as Cuba-r. Don't get me started on how Brett Favre's last name is pronounced "FARVE!"
Hole in the rock and devils backbone both around escalate grand staircase national park. Hoke in the rock is a 4 x 4 road that takes almost 6 to 8 hours round trip to get back to the views. One of the most amazing places I've ever been.
We tried to go in the spring but our car couldn't make it. Can't wait to get there next time
Thanks it’s a great video, and the photos are beautiful as well, keep posting similar videos pls (maybe about colorodo)
Absolutely! Thank you. I don’t have any top 10’s or anything of Colorado but I do somewhat live there so I have an entire playlist of “hiking in colorful Colorado” with some destinations you might like to check out!
The hills are going to be closed down soon; they’ve been over promoted. I respect how this guy talks about them.
I was just everywhere in Utah for all national parks but I haven’t seen some in this videos. Ty for sharing
Thank you so The Beautiful video you share spectacular so beautiful God’s creations. I love it so much that place.
Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼
Great Video! Great Hidden Gems for me! I’ve only heard of 1/3 of them. Granted, I’m from SoCal, but still!! Lol
Thanks so much! You’ll have to go make a trip and see some of the spots! I’m from Maryland!
@@KevinEassa you (Now) know I will! I saved them all! Lol. I am headed to Zion & Bryce in 3 weeks. I’ll start there. 🤗 Greetings from somewhere close to Salt Lake City, UT. 🥳
You Gave Me Vertigo.
Dude, super sick pics and vids of these amazing places. Very well done and very informative. I’m really curious what drone you use. I have a DJI Air2S that I’m still learning to fly.
Thanks so much! This video was shot over many years so it’s a mixture of the mavic 1 pro and the mavic 2 pro but I currently have the DJI air2s so all of my newer videos are on the same drone as you! It’s such an amazing model!
@@KevinEassa Thank you so much for the info and for your videos. It’s good to know that there are some cool beautiful places to fly without getting in trouble.
Thanks for sharing... great video.
Thank you so much :)
@@KevinEassa I love to fly my drone and take video which place you will recommend. Your video is so inspiring.
Great aerial photos. Thanks 😊 🙏
Photography is amazing. If you could list all the places mentioned in this vedio and provide a map to show their relative locations, it would be very helpful for us for our trip planning. Thank you.
Really well shot man, thanks for the suggestions
Thanks so much Eric! Glad you liked it!
We’re coming off a pandemic EVERYWHERE is crowded right now.
I saw all 5 NP’s in Utah last September. Was a great time to travel. No issues at all.
Once the biden bucks are spent and the available jobs disappear then it’s gonna be better
Extraordinary video. Thx for sharing
I'm from Utah and have never heard of most of these, got some exploring to do
have fun! Thanks for watching
Best video on UA-cam. Thumbs up so hard it hurts!
Thank you so much!
If you come to visit Utah from one of those west coast bastions of liberalism, please spend your money quickly and return to your happy land.
There’s also more of the number 5’s along i70 by Richfield.
Nice! Such an awesome area
Badass video Kevin, thanks for the info! Also on 8:28 what brand in grey pants are u wearing? I’m trying to find some slim fit hiking pants tia
Ha! Nothing special, these are from H & M actually and definitely not "hiking pants" but they are some of my favorites haha. If you go to any REI you can find a good pair of slim fit hiking pants though!
Thanks for making these! inspiring!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Thanks SO much for this amazing and exciting tour! I'm amazed that a non-native could capture so much of an unfamiliar state (now very familiar)!
Here's a respectful FYI:
Zion is pronounced zy-un, but that is very common among visitors 🙂. Also, it's farther (not further) when talking about physical distance. That is a VERY common mistake even the most highly educated people make ☺. Further is more of a mental distance, as in further more or further research is needed.
You have some superb videographic skills.
Could you create some Utah driving videos?
Very cool! Glad I stumbled upon this now. Renting an RV for 9 days. Spending a few days in Colorado, a few in Utah. Maybe too much good info, lol...
Haha you’ll have to rent the RV for a few additional days! I hope you enjoy your trip
Doing the same thing this summer. A few days in Colorado at Durango and Ouray, and then over to Moab.
@@davidnilles3117 I had a few days in Colorado back in December, and Telluride and Ouray were so beautiful. The Million Dollar Highway is incredible...
@@KevinEassa we definitely should have. But we were limited. Did get to see quite a few things on your list. I want to go back and spend a solid 4-5 days in Moab and then at least 2-3 in Zion...
We also didn't even get to do anything in the center of the state. Still so much to see. I'm constantly checking flights now, lol.
I have been to a place called Goblin Valley state park, it is next to little wild horse canyon. It is really cool. It has hoodoo that look like goblins, hence the name.
In september. I can't wait to see some of these places! Lynn and Danny
I hope you guys have the best trip! Thanks for watching!
Great video and awesome places. We have a class c RV so not sure how many we can get to but willing to see.
We visited Utah this week and they are amazing
Such an incredible state! Thanks for watching Sally!
@@KevinEassa You are welcome, Kevin.
Thank you for sharing. Love it!
One tip: If you do the Narrows hike, rent the canyonering boots and walking stick. It’s only $30 and makes a WORLD of difference
Good tip! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, but more than half of them but there’s a few that I’ve been right by and didn’t even know were there like a parade of the elephants. Awesome information, looks like I got some more hiking to go to do.
So many hidden gems to explore! I’m glad you found some new stuff from the video!
Absolutely EPIC!!!!! BTW where is the second scene shown in this video? It's the one where a big rock surrounded by orange sand. Many thanks!
Thanks! Cosmic Ashtray, we have a video on it as well!
