Russ - My hubby just retired from military after 23 years. Now we have time to travel and bought a TT. These videos are so amazing. This helps us decided where we should go. I love watching the videos and seeing the stops. Thank you!!!
Russ I've recently discovered your channel, and want you to know how much your beautiful videos and calming voice have helped me during these stressful times. I'm an RN and my work responsibilities have been affecting me greatly, both mentally and physically, to the point where I was even having difficulty sleeping. But my husband and I watch your videos every night, and I'm able to sleep now thanks in no small part to your videos. So thank you, and stay safe out there.
When I drove through Capital Reef Nat. Park in September 1995, as I left the east side, the landscape changed from lush green grass, trees, and the red rock, to a baron gray landscape, which got me to think about the moon landing in 1969. I thought "aha" they filmed it here! Then I followed my brother on up Hwy 24 a few miles before reaching I 70 to a place we set up camp under Temple Mt. to ride dirt bikes in the San Raphael range.
Capital Reef National Park was established in 1971 to preserve 241,904 acres of desert landscape. Great to see the sun after 3 days of clouds. Nice fresh morning. Thanks Russ great video.Never seen you hike as much as on this Vacation. Hah. I knew you had it in you. Always enjoy.
I can’t even watch the news right now. Your videos take me back to the 80’s when I traveled all across this amazing country in a camper with my father and our dog Fred, both of whom are no longer with us. Thank you for your videos which bring a smile to my face and remind me of a simpler time.
I camped in my tent at the campground adjacent to the visitor centre here September 1997. Did several hikes, the most memorable being the Navajo Knobs trail, four and a half miles each way ! Also visited the old schoolhouse and picked apples in the orchards in Fruita. This was settled many years ago by Mormons. An oldtimer Englishman from Shropshire reliving some past adventures. Utah is my favourite State, so much to offer free spirits. This was Fremont first nation country.
jim: when in Colorado suggest you go south on US 50 at Grand Junction to Delta, then south on US 550 to Montrose, Ridgway, Quray, Silverton and then Durango.
We Love RVerTV , Grand Videos , Grand Music , Grand Road Trips. Great Video / Great Views. Thank you Russ for the RVerTV 2020 Virtual Vacation. Utah is Awesome . God Bless the United States of America , Russ, RVerTV Fans. Happy Trails Russ , RVerTV Fans. Russ- Too Cool 4 School.
We love watching especially because you are alone so we feel like we are traveling with you and you have a wonderfully peaceful voice. We know the work that is involved putting a video on line so a big thank from David and Kathleen.
Great views, unbelievable rock colors and formations, thanks for stopping and doing short hikes really enjoyed the video, glad you take the time to stop and enjoy some of the scenery, stay safe.
Another beautiful video and reminder of a trip years ago with my Dad. We travelled cheap and light and took in the scenery. I am fascinated by the geology of rocky areas and mountains . The video is beautiful and entertaining. Thanks. I'm glad you bought a Mercedes Van and a drone.
WOW. WOW. WOW. The drive was incredible. The writings were amazing to see and the scenery is epic. Thanks for taking me along on this trip. I really appreciate the ride. I am from Colorado Springs Co and if you get down here, it would be great to meet for lunch. If you do that kind of stuff. Thanks for the ride. Stay safe and happy adventuring.
Visited there just a few years ago. Wonderful bunch of history. It was drizzly Fall. Apples everywhere. Bakery had everything apple you could want. Rode way back in. Just overwhelming rock displays. Thanks for more good memories.
You read my mind! A few days ago I thought 'I'll have to ask Russ if he's been to Capitol Reef' and hey presto, you're there! The Torrey lizards and humming birds blew our minds even before we visited Capitol Reef itself
If you have time it's worth returning to drive past the Capitol Reef Visitor Center then along the scenic route that takes you to the Capitol Reef rocks themselves. I think it's OK for your van and narrow RVs but you'd have to check. The gorges are gorgeous that you drive through - a bit narrow and many wild goats to see
Wow just gorgeous. Another wonderful stop on this journey. Thank you Russ for allowing me to participate in the virtual 2020 vacation. Simply beautiful. Stay safe. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan
That one formation that looked like a layer cake on the side of the two lane you were on 13:23 looks familiar. I'm thinking that might have been a scene in Easy Rider where Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper were riding their choppers past.
Wow! Russ, you should not have turned around at the visitor's center. The scenic drive straight ahead is the best of the Park. Something to come back and camp in the campground with a view.
Those orchards are about 150 years old.(early pioneer days) Loved the early morning sun and shadow photography! So, you being a Colorado River guy, are we heading up to the headwaters of the Colorado?
Hello Russ , We throughly enjoyed the pettroglift very interesting. I myself am into things like that,...historical of the times. Yeah you will need your hiking boots for sure haha. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.Stay safe. Larry & Linda
Thanks Russ for helping me reminisce about the times I've spent in Capital Reef. Hope you get to return there and take in more of the sites. Took me (3) trips to get my fill of it. That drive thru Escalante is hard to top though. You can spend a couple of full days alone just in and around Escalante. Safe travels friend.
Good evening Russ, Wow what a beautiful place so much to see. When you get to Grand Junction Colorado try and find some fresh fruit stands if they are open this time of year. Getcha some sweet treats to munch on going down the road. Are you going to go up into the Grand Mesa area? I've never been there but was told there are some nice lakes and a lot of boondocking camping areas. See You Soon!
Loved today's drive. It looked like you may have walked a little faster under those overhanging rock. 😁 I think I would have. Don't want the 2020 visual vacation tour to end prematurely. Thanks for the ride. 👍🙏. Be safe.
If you want to go to Rocky mountain national park you will need to make a reservation. $2 reservation gives you a 2 hour window to enter the park. Weekends are tougher to book. The drive over trail ridge road would get you lots of views! Enjoy Colorado!
Suggestion. If ever in Capital Reef again, jump on Caineville Wash Road, off Hwy 24 just before entering the park if coming from Hanksville. Decent gravel road and it heads up to Hartnet road to allow you to circle back to Hwy 24 further west. I always did it in a Hummer, but know many who have done it in PU trucks and even a Subaru. Nothing tricky, but believe me, it will floor you with the beauty. And there is always the Pyramids to the Moon and Sun. I might have to subscribe to keep my memories of UT alive. Other than looking at a million photos taken with my Nikons.

Great area, bin there several times. Coming from the Netherlands every 3 years to Utah for hiking in ‘tis amazing area.
Utah is definitely a colorful, picturesque state!
Thanks again Russ!! But ya missed out on getting a pie-for-the-road from the Gifford house there in Fruita.....yummm!
You are so lucky to travel like that
Hi Russ... Still viewing your trip.. Beautiful drive ... Stay happy and safe..

Capital Reef is a huge geological feature best seen from high up in a aircraft.

I think it is the most underrated park in Utah.
Thanks again Russ.

Enjoyed Capital Reef. Thanks.
All I can say is: AWESOME video Russ.
My friends in Utah told me about this one........so beautiful! Stayed for 5 days.....
At 27 min 25 sec you were looking at Capitol Dome and you missed the sign. Nice morning for a hike and clear skies.
You’ve inspired my to start flying my drone more. Thanks for the inspiration!
We love watching especially because you are alone so we feel like we are traveling with you and you have a wonderfully peaceful voice. We know the work that is involved putting a video on line so a big thank from David and Kathleen.
Great views, unbelievable rock colors and formations, thanks for stopping and doing short hikes really enjoyed the video, glad you take the time to stop and enjoy some of the scenery, stay safe.
I like Capital Reef.... I was at those petroglyphs about a year ago..
We were there 2 years ago. We didn't know they were there until we happened upon them. Great find!!
Hi Russ.What a wonderful mixture of scenery. I hope you can keep finding these jewels to show us.Stay safe.
I thought you would jog all of those hiking trails at those altitudes 🤣🤣very nice Mr russ👍🌴🇺🇸
Thank you

Amazing!
I70 through Colorado, especially past Grand Junction and though Glenwood Canyon, is a spectacular drive.
Always a quality video product. Very professional.
Wow, what scenery! Thanks for this great vid. Still wish you would show us where you camp! :)
Very good video, thanks Russ from Puerto Rico. We appreciate your excellent job for us ,

Greetings!
Ocean, Desert, Swamp! The natural wonders of our world. Another great episode :-)
Rockfall hazard that's good to know lolol. Thank you such a beautiful place.
Great trip so far. Bravo !!
Got your morning walk in. Be safe!
Good one Russ. I would have been tempted to take a wade in the water.
I was through there many years ago, it's still beautiful. Thanks Russ.
I highly recommend Redstone Colo and the Castle. From there head south to Blue Mesa, then Montrose to Ridgeway
Beautiful
Very pretty area!
Thank you Russ.
Another great video! Many thanks, Russ! Really enjoying my armchair traveling!👍👋🇺🇸
Wow! Russ, you should not have turned around at the visitor's center. The scenic drive straight ahead is the best of the Park. Something to come back and camp in the campground with a view.
when you get to co run 70 east to hiway 24 ,very senic through there over battle mountian to salida to 50 to canon city ,ark river
Spectacular area Russ. Thanks so much for the tour!
Those orchards are about 150 years old.(early pioneer days) Loved the early morning sun and shadow photography! So, you being a Colorado River guy, are we heading up to the headwaters of the Colorado?
Very Nice !!!!
Love your stops. You are a great guide and I hope to visit some of these places some day. Thanks for the adventures!

I've toured through this area extensively a few years back and it is quite spectacular.
Awesome park
Thank you for the ride I am loving it!

Torreys my hometown ;)
THANKS
good afternoon like the side views
When you get to Rifle Colorado, check out Shooter's bar and grill, if it's open it's awesome

Hey Russ!!! Talk about "ROCKS" No shortage in UTAH!! Beautiful!! Stay safe!!
Roughing it without your mountain climbing boots!!! It's a canyon not a valley - Where the River cut out the rock!!! Rock same on both sides!!!
I live in Washington DC area, Exit 17 and 13:10 into this video...you don't know what heavy traffic really is!
Suggestion. If ever in Capital Reef again, jump on Caineville Wash Road, off Hwy 24 just before entering the park if coming from Hanksville. Decent gravel road and it heads up to Hartnet road to allow you to circle back to Hwy 24 further west. I always did it in a Hummer, but know many who have done it in PU trucks and even a Subaru.

I might have to subscribe to keep my memories of UT alive. Other than looking at a million photos taken with my Nikons.
