  • I set up camp near the San Rafael Swell on some BLM land located in central Utah. The San Rafael Reef was my picture perfect backdrop for my dispersed camping/boondocking/rv camping and it was beautiful! I visited the San Rafael Reef viewing area and hiked the Spirit Arch Trail less than a mile away. I rode my KLR to visit the petroglyphs in the Black Dragon Canyon and the glyphs and canyon scenery did not disappoint. An appreciative shout out to my channel patreons and Super Thanks donator's!

    HELLO From Castle Dale Utah 🇺🇸.
    My wife and I go camping every year at the little grand canyon and Buckhorn Wash..... 25 miles from my house.
    We love living right by The Swell.
    I have a couple of videos of our campsites on the Swell.

    The Dragon 🐉 hike is cool. Those petroglyphs are wild to me. Yeah plenty of camping out there. The cross over is only illegal if a cop sees you 😂. Mainly because people crossing an interstate is dangerous at those speeds but it didn’t look busy. Just got to be careful. Great video

    • @DispersedCamperMan
      @DispersedCamperMan  Рік тому

      I agree. The only way to legally cross over was to go 14 more miles further for an exit ramp. Lets just say I wasn't going to spend that amount in time and fuel doing that. LOL

    Nice Mark! Been a while since Ive seen the San Rafael Reef, i stopped once at the rest area and me n the kids walked up a huge hill to get to the top to see the views, it was amazing! I had no idea of the BLM camping back then, it sure does look like a great spot! I also didnt know there were petroglyphs in Black Dragon canyon, and I have a picture of my son by the Black Dragon Canyon sign! I just returned from a mini trip, about 700 miles, went to Black Kettle, Skipout and Lake Meredith campgrounds and other places, getting my vids out now. Thanks for your vid, it was great as usual man! Have a great day!
