Love the stories
👍
It is awesome and a great channel for planning our dream road trip to the rocky states in United States…
If you are doing the Grand Teton-Yellowstone-Black Hills trip you would enjoy the short diversion to include Devil's Tower NM. There is a lot of stuff to do in the BH. Our kids loved gold panning (it is salted so they will find flakes), cave tours (there are several), and the 1880's train. Not really part of the BH, but only an hour south is the Nebraska Sandhills, which is a scenic drive. By Guernsey, Wyoming you can visit Register Cliffs and Oregon Trail Ruts NM. The trail ruts are several feet deep, Register Cliffs has names and dates carved by many of the Oregon Trail travelers.
Outstanding video! Thank you
There are no Buffalo in Grand Teton or Yellowstone 😂😂😂
One of my favorite things about Grand Canyon is that, if you have the time to stand there at the South Rim for an extended period of time, you can see the colors change on the walls of the canyon as the angle of the sun changes.
Re. Cody, WY, I stopped there for the dinner and show next to the rodeo grounds one night, and it was great.
Right up near the state line in CO, I went on a tour driving what's called a razor, which looks like a souped up dune buggy.
I also did the Durango & Silverton RR., which was beautiful, though it was the summer of '20, which meant we could only go about halfway to Silverton.☹
When I was returning from a solo drive to AK back in '84, I stopped at Jasper and Banff. As already stated, wow!
For those viewers who have trouble with oddly spelled place names, muh-LEAN Lake in Canada is spelled Maligne.
I LOVE y'all's videos! The content is always great and your commentary is even better! The level of excitement in your voices AND on your faces gets me excited about our next trip. We've done most of these trips and drives and your videos keep us wanting to return to Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas year after year! We love Lamar valley in mid to late August, and have been there every year except 2020 (due to Covid). Thanks for taking the time to do your videos. Keep 'em coming!
Love th mighty five was looking forward to doing angels landing while we were outwest this year but didnt happen sadly
Last summer I was in Glacier for a week and didn't see one bear…lol. Love the trip and it was awesome views just shocked I didn't see any bears.
If you like desert hiking, go to Death Valley National Park. I did that in 2023. BUT go in the winter! I was there in February and my warmest day was like 75!
Deze video is een echt meesterwerk!
Merci pour cette immersion et ces explications …
I hate that they paved the pikes peak hwy, loved when it was dirt
We are from Europe and we already did part of your trips. Thankss for these GREAT IDEAS. First year we did Gran Canyon, Antilope Canyon, Death Valley and Yosemite. We startet in Las Vegas and ended in SF. Second year we startet in Salt Lake and went to Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley, Mesa Verde, Dinosaur NM, Teton, Yellowstone and also visited Antilope Land. All was amazing. Third year we went from Vancouver to Calgary and visited Bamff NP, Louise Lake, Yoho NP and Jasper. Next time we would lime to start from Denver or Washington.
this Instrumentai pleace is so all eviating I'ts culminate foundation for nuwinding, thank you for sharing you ability with us!
Me and my husband wants to travel out west soon
We in the eastern United States are jealous of the majestic scenery in the West. I bet you feel lucky living in the West.
We're in Atlanta and are doing Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier, and the Black Hills this summer for my husband's 50th. We're so excited! We're trying to plan our big trip for 2026 and are a bit stuck. We want to do Grand Canyon but are divided on if we should do Grand Canyon plus Utah's mighty five or push to the west coast for the redwoods.
Loop The Fold drive at Capotal Reef is my favorite drive in Utah… Driving through Glen Canyon Recreation area is waaaaaay underrated.
Love the channel !!
What a great Video I also binge-watched! The information you are willing to share is amazing. Thank you !!
You forgot CALIFORNIA : Yosemite, Joshua Trees, Cabrillo, Mojave Preserve, Sequoia plus lots of State Parks like Anza-Borrego. Arizona has lots of parks too as well as New Mexico which hosts a lot of State Parks all over the state.
Great video! We have done many of the suggestions on your video–most of the time we incorporated it into a really large summer road trip. This past summer, we started in Colorado (Rocky Mtn NP, Colorado Springs, Denver, Glenwood Springs area) then drove through Wyoming and Idaho (back side of the Tetons and Stanley, ID), and then drove through Montana on route to Canada. We did Fairmont Hot Springs, BC, Golden, and then Banff (Kootenai, Yoho, Glacier Canada, Banff NP)and Jasper before hitting the road back to SC. We were on the road for 6.5 weeks. 🙂 It was a great trip! This summer, we are doing a an Alaskan cruise but also hitting Olympic NP and Mt Ranier for a day each (because that's all we have before we fly back).
We also booked the silo. It was amazing.
Really want to to Utah. We are thinking Rockies train. With your ebooks, we are trying to plan 7-10 days, on a shoulder season when it isn’t too cold.
I have a lot to learn!
Thank you for these informative videos, I've learned a ton by watching this channel. It's very apparent that you two are teachers from how your videos are so well-organized and fact filled! At the end of your Mighty 5 video, Matt made an offhand comment about considering starting the trip in Denver to include the scenic Routes 70 and 128 to Moab. We did just that and were so glad we added that spectacular scenery, it was unforgettable. Looking forward to more travels in 2025 and beyond using your tips, Happy New Year!
Thanks for the video, we’re doing the mighty five Utah trip this year. After watching the video we might add in the Colorado portion to our trip. Maybe see you guys out on the trail like last year.
Great recap of future trips. Wonder for Colorado 12’ foot road trip near end. How long should one prepare to adjust for altitude? Tks
