Utah Road Trip - Best Campsite in Moab (Arches / Canyonlands / Snowbird)

- Our crew set out on an incredible trip across the State of Utah. We camped in Canyonlands National Park and explored Arches National Park, along with other scenic landscapes around Moab. When is the best time to visit Moab & Arches National Park? When the weather is “crisp at night” and there are no crowds. We had no idea what to expect when visiting Moab, Utah. We’ve really only heard about it for Mountain Biking and off road driving. We were blown away with the hiking, open blue skies, red rock and breath-taking views. This video is basically the best of Moab, Utah and the mountains outside of Salt Lake City, Snowbird.

Story telling, editing, color grade.........epic locations! Loved every minute of it. Well done
Thank you mark! We had a blast on the trip and it’s cool to hear you enjoyed the edit. Take care!
i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Mathias Case Instablaster =)
@Byron Enzo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Byron Enzo it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
Utah's where I could not get anywhere in my car. As soon as I would get up to speed again I had to pull over and take more photos. I finally just had to make myself put my camera away and drive.
The next time you go to Utah you y'all need to go to Bryce canyon. Absolutely magical!!!!
Everything is spread out in Utah and takes some driving but my God there's some beautiful scenery all over the state!!! 🥰
Haha totally agree! I felt like a kid in a zoo. Left right front and center was full of views and they changed every mile. Absolutely stunning scenery and landscapes to explore and camp in. I’ll take it! You got it, Bryce canyon is on the list for next trip!
Once again: Out of the park!! Absolutely amazing scenes and editing!! Loved it!! 👊🏼
I really appreciate that SP! Had fun reliving the memories and editing this one up. The only issue is, now I want to go back!
Editing is always minty ! Keep the adventure alive 🤙🏽
Minty fresh! Haha I like it. Will do Scott, thanks for dropping a comment. I always enjoy the interaction
Awesome video Gatewood! Man looked like a cool place to spend some time. You had every thing from deserts to mountains. You just can't beat a trip like that brother. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks KW! The views out there were pretty special. Desert, Mountains, camping and biking. Just an all time trip like you said!
I absolutely love your editing and the production quality. Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate the kind words so much! It’s our pleasure, these trips are always a blast
Beautiful storytelling! Very inspiring.
Thank you so much! That was an action packed weekend for sure. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip!
I was 13 minutes late watching your upload.
It was worth the wait.
Another fantastic video.
Thought we might get some astrophotography , maybe next time.
Loved the light painting.
Loved the biking thought I would not but the crashes and the GoPro footage made it so interesting.
The only bummer is I'm watching on my phone . Your videos have to be watched on the big ole TV with 4K.
Great job again.
Thanks for sharing .
Waiting for your next video.
Take care, be safe and most of all have FUN.
Kenneth Wimmers thank you for all of the kind words Kenneth! InShot some Astro but did not include it in the video as I liked the light painting and long exposure photos just a little more. Maybe on a future outing though! Glad you enjoyed this one my man
Loved it man!!!! What a cool weekend! Oh, btw, awesome shirt!
Right on thanks, Pete! Well hey, the shirt has definitely gotten some use. You're close to 5K so this weekend the whole world will get to wear your gear. It's the best!
Great filming! I hope we find the no resources middle of no where you guys found when I camp out there. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you! Yeah canyonlands is definitely less frequented than arches since they’re such close proximity. Have a blast out there!
Another great video ❤
Man, outstanding scenes!!
Thank you Canajian! The views out there were like nothing I'd ever seen.
Another quality production, GB! Drone footage was outstanding, and the storytelling/editing was top notch! You have a gift!
Wow thank you for the awesome compliments! It was tough flying the drone out there, tons of no fly zones in the national parks and surrounding area. Glad to see our good times translated to a fun video
Another amazing edit. You are nailing it every time. They are just too short.
Haha it's hard to keep that audience retention if I go longer. These are all the clips I felt were a must see.
i just discovered your channel today through recommendation in youtube. i scrolled some of your videos. and i swear your videos are the most heart warming videos i have gone through this year. i hope you continue with your vlogs. i have not only suscribed you,but also added notification for your channel. lots of love
That means so much, thank you for the kind words! Yes more videos en route! Next one in a week
Wow! This was so enjoyable to watch. Great job!
Thank you so much!
Great photography. Well done!
Wow thank you so much for the kind words!
Nice drone work, great balance between exterior action shots and talking heads. Good luck with your channel, guys.
Thank you Paul! We had a blast out there
Love this!
Thank you jessica!
Another great video with your buddies. I stopped there on my way to Oregon a few years ago. I had forgotten how beautiful the area was.
UT is unreal, truly spectacular really. I’d love to try Oregon someday as well
Dude this is the best one yet!!!!
Thanks for being apart of the trip my man! Had a blast and can't wait to get back out there in your Land Cruiser.
The stars are a site that is beautiful to see
They were incredible! Some of the most vivid I've seen
Thanks for the video! Fantastic views. Texas has so many great state parks including some nationals, that is hard to pick my favorite.
My pleasure Tom! Thanks for stopping by and leaving some kind remarks. Palo Duro Canyon SP and Caprock Canyon SP seem to be the parks with similar views as Moab. My favorite are generally in the Hill Country though.
This man deserves a play button
Thanks Andrew!
Fantastic editing! In MOAB Monday! Can't wait!
Thanks DM! You're a lucky guy, i bet those fall colors are in full force up in Moab. Not to mention everything else about it. Have fun!
This is an amazing video!! I love going to moab and doing these same things. Also, great recording!❤
Thank you so much John! I need to get back to Moab. It’s been too long!
This was cool, man. Really enjoyed it!
Thank you! Definitely one of my favorite trips for sure
That was some gorgeous scenery! The bike trails looked a little scary!
We were definitely a little overwhelmed at the top of the mountain trying to knock the rust off haha
Great editing as usual!!
Caleb Humphreys thank you Caleb! Had a lot of angles to work with. Such beautiful country out there
Cool video. Utah is easily one the coolest states I've experienced.
Utah is simply incredible
I love your videos!
Thank you so much Jennifer! I appreciate you watching them!
Can't beat Moab, my man!
Moab is INSANE! We are planning on going back sometime
Love you videos amigo
Loved this video. ❤
Thank you!
Your work is amazing as well as the places you go. Dreaming of visiting them some day. Keep up the good work. 🤜🤛
Definitely some breathtaking videography
Thanks my man!
@@GatewoodBrown yessir 🤙🏽🤙🏽
seeing this makes me think I'm heading west this spring. Besides meeting everyone in Ponca
Iowa Matt that’s a great idea Matt! There was too much for just one weekend, we are definitely going back in the future
super cool video!!
Thanks, Air Whip! I appreciate you stopping by and dropping a comment.
Love it
Thanks!
not gonna lie, this video was really well made. thank you
I really appreciate that!! We had a blast out in Utah so I’m glad it showed through
Great video!
Thank you Che!
Love that fact almost every comment has a response 👍 definitely gonna go and camp there sometime this year
You bet my man! Camping weather is coming...can’t wait! We are trying to plan A return trip to the Moab area and hopefully we can camp here again
Great video ☄️
Thank you!
素敵✨
Most people I know from elsewhere that move to utah shit talk it but I'm glad I was raised here even if want to leave. It's a beautiful place and it's worth visiting. You think those hills next to you are mountains then visit utah.
Yeah I even pronounce mountain as "mountin". Haha it's our thing
Utah is one of our favorite states to visit! We’ve been during all of the seasons and each time it is a blast. So much diverse terrain and good people
Garner state park is awesome with the Frio river right there
Schoch Soccer I absolutely love garner. Especially when the crowds die down and the temperatures drop. The Frio is magical
Well made video this is what the algorithm SHOULD push out but it wont sadly, you can value your tight knit supporters
Thank you! Haha the algorithm is tricky but never lies lol. Something about this needs to be improved
New Sub! Just saw your vid, epic, great footage especially w/your UAV, make? Just got the Skydio, is a ball! Telescope make and model? listed in your Amazon? ;- )) looking forward to your others. Keep up the great work and stay safe!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It’s a dji mavic 2 pro. Not sure about the telescope but I think it’s a pretty nice one haha
Tasty per ushual Gatewood!
Haha I like that, tasty, need to use it more. Thanks for always supporting GL!
Loved it
Right on Justin! Some of those colors remind me of Western Australia
I didn't know you'd been to Australia
The desert was definitely one of my favorite places when I road tripped the states.
@@AllThingsOutdoors I haven't been just seen a lot of really cool pictures of it. I also watch a guy called Youngbloods that makes a bunch of videos on the west coast.
Yeah I watch Youngbloods from time to time.
Ótimo vídeo
Thank you!
Great video for visuals, storytelling, and editing. I was curious about a few shots you had in the National Parks. They look like they had to be done from a drone. Curious if you were actually in National Park space or if you spliced in footage from someone else?
Thank you lance! A magician never reveals his secrets...haha but you’re spot on. These were drone shots just not in national parks so they’re totally legal. I used them to help tell the story since the views were similar. A drone shot of delicate arch would be sweet though!
what was the weather like in October and what time of day did you hike Canyonlands? Great video!
I remember it being warm during the day and cold at night. We needed puffy jackets at night but basically nothing but hiking clothes during the day.
Just discovered your channel while looking for free campsite near Moab. We're just going to drive thru, see the Arches, spend a night, maybe inside our Subaru Forester, or put a tent. Then drive to Colorado the next day.
Can you share the camp site please?
Welcome! Yeah this is the willow flats campground in canyon lands National park. I think the spot was $7 and then the park entrance fee. Best views I’ve seen from a campsite though
Moab is my favorite place in the world.there was a free campground with a outhouse lol
Hey that’s not too bad! Moab is absolutely heaven on earth. The views are stunning and there’s so much to do out there.
@@GatewoodBrown absolutely agree with you. Amazing video well DONE
Great video I’m subscribed. Coordinates for the campsite?
Willow Flats in canyon lands!
Man, this looks awesome! Did you shoot all this on your GoPro?
Thanks! This was a combo of my GoPro and Sony a7iii
What's the best campground you've been to? This one was Willow Flats in canyon lands.
Best campsite for me was a 7 day trip into the Alaskan tundra via bush plane...50 sq miles of visibility with no other humans.
@@RiverKingsKayak That does sound ideal...and gnarly! I know there are certain precautions to take with bears, but they just seem mean out that direction. Maybe one day!
@@GatewoodBrown they are actually so full of fish and berries and so many bears that they are not too territorial or too aggressive...in general😉
@@RiverKingsKayak That does provide some level of comfort haha. Their fullness also sounds like they just finished up eating world famous hot dogs and wings in Mortimer, NC!
@@GatewoodBrown yes sir!!!!
Sweet! Mind sharing where you camped in Canyonlands?
Of course! It was the willow flats campground. We would totally go back there
What’s the weather like around October? I plan to visit first time. I might drive my car and camp In it. It’s large enough. I have a mini stove.
Ya know I’m not sure but I’d imagine pretty pleasant in the desert. Mountains will be snowy and could run into some mud
How were you able to use your drone in the area? I though you weren't allowed to use drones in state parks. Did you go somewhere else? If so, where? I would love to go!
Great question Zane! Everything you said is true so we avoided all national parks and only flew within legal air spaces. Flying in arches would’ve been fun though! Haha
@@GatewoodBrown Great to know! Is there a list somewhere of all the location you went to if someone were to want to recreate your adventures? I know I want to!
You’re talking to the right guy! We left SLC and drove straight to canyonlands national park to set up camp at Willow Flat Campground. This is next to the Green River Overlook (sunrise time lapse location). Arches National Park comprises most of the hiking and arch footage. The whole park is amazing so if you go to the main areas you’ll see what is in this video. Then we bolted back to Snowbird Mountain Resort bear SLC for some downhill mountain biking. It just so happened they had oktoberfest that weekend so we lucked out! Such an epic trip and we are already hoping to go back and explore other parts of Moab.
@@GatewoodBrown Thank you very much for sharing!
My pleasure! I hope you guys have a good time
127 Days vibes for sure 😳
Thank goodness we didn’t have to cut off our arms out there. Funny you bring it up, we talked about that movie during our hike!
@@GatewoodBrown Yeah thank God y'all were safe and didn't have to .I don't know about you but I don't know if I would be able to bring myself to do that 😂
Blair Marcus haha yeah id probably just drown. But as long as the bears and snakes stay away I’m all good.
Where was that campsite? Looks awesome
Willow flats in canyon lands!
@gatewoodbrown
Dude where is that mountain bike and trail you guys tore up???
Hey! This was up at Snowbird. Such a rad trail! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area
@@GatewoodBrown
Now on the list for my road trip this fall. Really appreciate that!!
First!
Boom!
What kind of work you guys guys do to travel like that
Camping is pretty cheap! Just need money for gear, gas and food.
I live in st George this is everyday life lol
That makes me entirely jealous! Haha
New subscriber! I just wanted to know where you got your rent? If you could give me the name brand or link? Thanks. I love watching the videos!
Hey welcome to the channel! Click one of the amazon links in the description and then search ‘The North Face Stormfront 2 person tent’. That’ll take you to it!
Gatewood Brown Thank you! I look forward to watching more of your adventures. God bless!
D3SIR33 smith anytime! Stay tuned this Thursday, I plan on uploading another kayak camping video
I need some of them camera skills!
Haha thanks Kevin! Sometimes I feel crazy waving it around for those transitions
@@GatewoodBrown I cant get myself to take it in every burger place and gas station like Pete..lol
So what is the campsite? Arches NP?
Canyon lands! Willow flats to be specific
Cool, thanks! Can you recommend something similar around Zion? This is exactly the kind of site I’m looking for in November, but we will be mostly around Zion and Monument Valley.
Jason Taylor unfortunately I’ve never been around Zion so I can’t help there. But surely there’s a video out there with more recommended campsites in Zion!
3rd
3rds not bad!
I'm afraid if I ever go there. I will just walk away and give up on everything to live in the wild.
It’s tempting...Moab is wonderful
Where’s camp?
Willow flats in canyon lands!
@@GatewoodBrown Lucky to get! Was it full?
@@joanmarshall6653 Not at all! Rolled right up, plenty of spots to choose from. This was pre-covid though, I've heard it's much more popular to go camping now.
