I do a lot of traveling, particularly in the western United States. This channel shares videos about some of the places I travel to and through. Feel free to join me!
Uniquely Utah: Panguitch: Small Town, Big History
US 89, which runs North and South through Utah, is home to scores of small towns that have their roots in Pioneer times. In this video, I visit, Panguitch, one of those small town. It has a great history and can the town's pride in that history is evident. Discover what awaits you in Panguitch and some of the surrounding area.

Terrific Texas: A Prada Boutique in West Texas
มุมมอง 1.9Kปีที่แล้ว
Take a drive through west Texas, and you may be surprised to run across a Prada boutique in the middle of the outback. With absolutely nothing around it, this lonely consideration of abject materialism and consumerism can be quite surprising to run across. (Does ANYONE really visit this spot on purpose?) Take a short drive with me as I show you how I ran across this spot completely by accident....
Amazing Wyoming: The Lincoln Highway and the Lincoln Monument
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Travel along I-80 through eastern Wyoming, between Laramie and Cheyenne, and you can't help but notice a huge bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln on the north side of the freeway. In this video I provide the history behind the Lincoln bust and the original 3,000-mile monument to Lincoln that it symbolizes. The Lincoln Highway, long-since replaced by I-80, is the original transcontinental highway, an...
Amazing Wyoming: Independence Rock, the Register of the Desert
มุมมอง 3.5Kปีที่แล้ว
One of my travels this summer took me to Independence Rock, a beacon on the Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail, the California Trail, and the Pony Express. The landmark is quite impressive, and vistors can still climb the rock to this day and see inscriptions from countless travelers from the 1800s. In this video I explain the significance of Independence Rock, climb to the top, and show a good num...
Amazing Wyoming: My Favorite Place on Earth
มุมมอง 1.6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I've been to a lot of places in the United States. At last count I've been in over 40 states, and I've even been to four other countries. I'm not as widely traveled as some, but I have traveled more than a lot of people I know. Every one of the places I've lived and visited has been beautiful, each with its own character and charm. I've met great people, eaten great food, and seen great sights....
Moab Area: Visiting Dead Horse Point State Park
มุมมอง 12K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In the busy destination area of Moab, Utah, there's a state park that is too easily overlooked. It is easy to focus solely on Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, but Dead Horse Point State Park should not be missed. It provides breathtaking views of deep canyons, beautiful red rock, and the Colorado River. One day in March 2022, I visited Dead Horse Point State Park, and in this...
Spectacular Arizona: Visiting Lee's Ferry, Navajo Bridge, and the Vermilion Cliffs
มุมมอง 38K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The northern portion of Arizona, known as the Arizona Strip, is an amazing area, with stunning vistas and a fascinating history. Modern roads and automobiles have made this area relatively easy to visit, but historically it is one of the most inacessible areas in the country. In this video I take you to three amazing areas in the Arizona Strip-Lee's Ferry, Navajo Bridge, and the Vermilion Cliff...
Greetings from Kanab, Utah!
มุมมอง 17K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In February 2022 I was traveling through Kanab, Utah, as I had done scores of times over the past several decades. During this stop, I recorded some of my thoughts about the town. I share why I think that Kanab is a great place to visit. The red rock that rims the town is stunning, and there is lots to see and do in the town and surrounding areas. By the way, the name "Kanab" is a Paiute word t...
Amazing Wyoming: Visiting a Wyoming Ghost Town
มุมมอง 5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Not far from where I live is the authentic Wyoming ghost town of Piedmont. I've visited the area often, taking visitors who are interested in our area. The history of the town is haunting. (That's a play on the designation "ghost town." Did you catch that?) Wyoming has a formidable climate, and nowhere is that more evident than in a visit to Piedmont.
Excellent.
Your videos are always so interesting for showing us a little of what life is like in "ordinary" parts of the US. Thank you
So nice of you
Amazing area we just drove from San Diego to the south rim of the Grand Canyon to St. George Utah. Passing through this area was amazing. Worth the trip, gonna make this drive again one day. Great video.
A trip well worth taking, for sure!
My wife and I really enjoyed this introduction to Kanab. Wonderfully done. We may be there later and might catch the roundup you mentioned. Thanks so much!
Hey, this was a really delightful video. I'm going to try to spend some time in Panguitch next time I'm in Utah. I also really appreciated the info on the quilt walk. Must have been so slow, or perhaps they came up with some good ways to speed up the pace. Thanks!
Thanks, Jeff! It took them two weeks, walking on the quilts, to go the approximately 60-mile round-trip. And, since they were carrying supplies, the trip back from Parowan was slower than the trip to Parowan.
Nice video. Very entertaining and educational video as well. Thank you!
Thank you very much, Allen, for this magnificant view on a typical town with great history! Reinhold, Belgium
Nice video, enjoyed watching. thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done, Allen. I enjoy U S history, and learning about history from out-of-the-way places. Thanxxxxxxxxxxxx for your time and effort.
My pleasure!
Super nice job on the video!! So nice to see a small town close-up like this. Sure makes me want to stop by. Thanks!
I really enjoy small towns, too.
Hey, really nice video. Keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
I am interested in climbing & photographing the Missouri Buttes, which are nearby. Are they on private or public land? Are there any parking areas near the base of the Buttes? Should hikers be concerned with running into black bears? Thank you.
I'm not the expert on the Missouri Buttes, but I think they may be on private land. They are not a national monument, that's for sure. Black bears aren't a huge issue in the area.
Good Morning from Spain!! Just goes to show you that there is history all around us. Very enjoyable to watch I always enjoy reading the introductions to your weekly excel tips spreadsheet, its how I found your channel. Very interesting to see the quilts and hear you relate the story. By strange coincidence this last week through the wonders of the interent we have been in touch again with our cousins in the USA, my late fathers sister, my aunt moved there in the sixties. The last time I was in touch with my Aunt was when we got married and she gifted us an embroidered quilt, this far too long ago. She would have embroidered this in connecticut though!! I hope all is well with you I know this last year has been very difficult All the best
Thanks, David. It is always interesting to hear the stories that connect each of us, even across the globe.
Thank you for this video on Panguich, Utah, Allen! Your videos on the places that you visit in your travels are always fascinating to watch for what you show in the video and for this history of the location that you add to give us.
Glad you like them!
Splendid photography of this unique National and Western treasure, which remains immortalized; almost exactly as it was when the Pioneers when through. I traveled the old road too, long ago and each visit now is nostalgic as well as beautiful. I hope those precious signatures last forever, protected. Good job.
Lots of the classic westerns filmed arround kanab!!!
Wow! You did a great job with this video. Thanks for the work!
Glad you liked it!
I want to come hear one day.i love Dogs. An am from salt lake City. I'm in tucson.an have my dog.maybe one day soon 😀✅
Awesome video Allan!
Thank you very much!
I love these types of historical sites. U.s. is a history of average folks doing amazing things with limited technology and hard work.
Enjoyable video..thanks :)
Good video with intresting knowledge of the rock. Thanks !
Just know, photographers camp there over night to get sunrise shots through that arch. It can get testy!
There are campgrounds at Dead Horse Point and it's a great spot to set up and explore the area. I camped there for five nights a couple of years ago and found it very convenient to Canyonlands and other areas. The views are fantastic and are beyond description.
Thanks for this Adventure, it is just so beautiful and yet rugged. America the beautiful.❤
There is a great veterinarian office in Kanab. I adopted several dogs off the Reservation/Vermillian Cliffs area over the years and that vet office is my first stop on the way back to Colorado.
We just returned from a visit to Lees Ferry. Your video helped fill in the history and details of the area. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I drove across the old bridge in the 1980's, when going to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. It was quite narrow, and was signed as a one lane bridge. I think it was wide enough to allow two cars to pass each other, but not trucks.
My name is kanab😂
Hi ! Good evening, Is there any point in walking the loop between the visitor center and Dead Horse Point then returning via Mender, Shafer and Rim Overlook? Is the path easy and well-trodden?
Amazing content
My husband and I are traveling to Moab in a couple of weeks. Thanks for sharing this beautiful destination! We will definitely put it on the itinerary. Your video was excellent -- great videography, good information.
Great like this small town. This town left a good impression on me
It’s so convenient located in the highway, should get in to check it out….
애리조나 스트립(Arizona Strip)의 풍경과 역사에대한 설명에 감사해요 특별한 지형의 아리조나 Thank you for explaining the landscape and history of the Arizona Strip. Arizona's Special Topography
Where is D holiday name located? I went, and spent a day here but never found it
Been there and want to go back very badly eventhough we only ate lunch there and drove through a few times. Went to some surrounding areas including Johnson Canyon ghost town where some episodes of Gunsmoke were filmed, and the pet cemetery near by. Close enough to the Vermilion Cliffs for me and Snake Gulch. I can't say enough about the areas near by. Great vid and thanks for sharing!
Great vid! I loved visiting the areas you talk about here and always want to return. Vermilion Cliffs Nat Mon is the most beautiful place I've ever been, and I've been to alot of places! I like how you explain the history etc on these sites in this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for info sir
See you in late September 2023. Hopefully tourist is down
Did you get a chance to go over to Devil's Gate? Or see the Martin Handcart Historic Site?
Yes, I have been to both.
Thank you - we now have something to stop and see when we're staying in the area this fall!
Great video sir
Enjoyed your video! Kanab is one of my favorite places to visit and photograph.
Beautiful!
Thanks for posting. I’ve been passing through there for almost 50 years and it’s my local resupply point at Glaziers and Honey’s for food. They have a wonderful city park too. I am going to slow down the video and take a closer look at your list of the movies filmed there. Is that list for Kanab alone or does it include the Paria movie set west of town as well?
It includes Paria. The list was actually compiled by the tourism board/Chamber of Commerce in Kanab.
Very interesting. Well done.
Thanks!
Thank you. We really enjoyed this video.
Thank you for your great video presentation.
Glad you liked it!
Well done!
