  1. Beautiful video of all the parks in Utah and reminise the footsteps my husband and I took. Kudos to you and your Dad for putting all this in a video. And yes, you have to see Monument Valley in person, and that goes for all the other parks. Good job!

  2. You're extremely lucky your dad and you get along and share the SAME interests. I've traveled a lot with my dad and he can care less about the history and significance of nature (most of the time). You guys are gems! Thanks for making winter time better for me. Btw I live in Youngstown Ohio about 45 minutes north of East Liverpool (Lincoln Highway). Super stoked you guys were that close to me!! God bless you boys!

  3. Hey I am watching your video toady, I did exact same road trips like you, Vegas to Valley of Fire, Zion including all trails, Angels Landing, The Narrows, Carmel Lookout and than headed to Page AZ, stayed in Lake Powell and did all what I could do, including Horse Shoe Band,Upper Antelope Canyon and some other small attraction, ( Love the Page AZ) wonderful town. from there, I headed to Monument Valley early morning and I did not like the Drive until I made to main highway, I was so alone in the car, on the highway, there was no house, no civilization, car cars on highway, and no signals and I said what I am going to do if something goes wrong. ( not a fun at all) any way loved the Monument Valley, from there, I went to Moab and spend 2 days in Canyonlands and Arches ( LOVED Arches Park) and Boy I have visited all the arches ( I will go back again to Canyonlands just to do The Needles and May be The Maze ( need some for folks as it is totally remote) from there I drove to Bryce Canyon and spend a day and than drove back to Vegas, spend half night at strip as my flight was in the morning and Back home and dream is over , I am going back again this time I am driving my EV9 with Himiway Ebike from Louisville to Colorado and finish some of the NP there but I must revisit my most loved the ZION. hey by the way Before going to Key west and I did watched your road trips with dad. wow, I just remember that, where you stopped at the big Lobster place remember!

  4. What a geat service you offer up to us that will never get to see this part of the country. You do a great job with the editing and narration. And Your choice of a travel buddy is just awesome. Dad is one cool Dude. Thanks guys you truly add so much enjoyment to some boreing days in Cold Southern NY.

  5. Arches – bird wings.
    Re: Dot's Pretzels, The pretzels were developed here in North Dakota and I met Dot and sampled them at the Pride of Dakota Show where she started promoting them statewide.
    I love your videos!!

  6. America's National Parks are just simply amazing. Been to 26 parks and I have to say Mesa Verde is my favourite but Islands in the Sky is right up there. Camped overnight in Arches and that was amazing.

  7. We visited Utah in November of 2009 before our son went off to Grad School.
    Bryce Canyon left us speechless. Looking down from Inspiration Point with the HooDoos covered in snow. They actually look like people dressed in white. Such a breathtaking view !!!

  8. After a couple of years watching your videos I'm finally taking a trip to see the Mighty Five next month along with Monument Valley and your videos have been great to help plan. Thank you for posting
