- It’s the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness! Disneyland’s Big Thunder Mountain has thrilled countless millions of guests in its many incarnations all over the world, but having spent my entire life growing up near Big Thunder Mountain in Anaheim, I thought since I’m in Utah, why not try to go see the real-life inspiration for the attraction! I was expecting to see Hoodoos, what I wasn’t expecting was to find so many other things along the way! From the “Mormon Emperor’s” house to Fred Flinstone’s car, the Desert Yosemite and a shop that REALLY Rocks, Bones of a strange beast, 100-year-old wedding cake, 72 year old bacon, and THOUSAND year old corn! It turns out the Beehive State is one interesting place to travel through!

The Eyes of God follow every living man! God has a purpose for you Justin!
Great video by the way!
That long tunnel gives me claustrophobia just watching you drive through it. But the COLOR of those rocks and cliffs - - breath taking.
I don't understand why Justin's channel doesn't have a million subscriptions. His videos are entertaining, educational, and just fun. Good work Justin! Another wonderful episode!
Look at the size of that LANDSCAPE!! IT ROCKS ....
That red rock scenery looks just like Disneyland. Shows how well Disney does with realistic landscaping.
speaking of handcarts, when I was 14 I got to go on a mock pioneer trek, where we packed 4 days worth of necessities into a handcart and pulled it in the wilderness outside of nyssa, oregon. it was one of the most amazing, humbling and most educational experiences of my life.
Fantastic job Justin. I've never seen videos of this gorgeous state before. I'm so glad that you shared this. The scenery was breathtaking. Your commentary was hilarious. Thank you so much for the adventure.
Thank you for coming and showing the state I have lived my whole life in. So many people just pass by and never really see the true wonders that is utah! I cant wait to see more of them and hopefully i can run into while you are in salt lake! A lot of us love you here! Thanks again justin!
A Lord of the Rings and a Labyrinth quote all in one video. Cool
THIS is probably the most incredible place I have ever visited. I was in awe at that climb. We came in from the bottom and hiked up. Seeing those two redwoods as centennials guarding the hidden entrance to the ascension was breathtaking. BUT, climbing those stairs and coming into view of those switchbacks and staring up at it from the bottom for the first time is something I will never forget. The entire canyon was beyond beautiful. What a lovely memory and fun seeing you discover it for the first time too! It's one of the few places I have visited before you! Cannot wait for more. Utah is a gorgeous state. You'll really enjoy it! Drive safe! Have fun! a
LOL!!! Thanks for taking one for the team. The panarama was breathtaking
Wow, really did remind me of Thunder Mountain! Never realized Utah was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing
I'm soooo excited that you're finally visiting my home state! Awesome! Highway 89 is Utah's route 66.
That super dark tunnel you went in... I can't believe you didn't mention Radiator Springs Racers! It was just like it! I was waiting for Mack to appear
Great vid, that ending was hilarious 😂
Omg that was absolutely gorgeous! So much natural beauty in the world, thanks for taking us there :)
I'm glad you finally discovered the unique beauty that is Zion.
"Hell of a place to lose a cow" - Ebenezer Bryce
I remember that story of how it got its name.
I loved this vlog Jason! Bryce Canyon was awe inspiring. Congratulations for making it down and back up the canyon. I appreciate everything you showed us in this vlog!
Big Laugh at the end. "I thought it was going to be permanent". - Boop! Such a fun time. Thanks. I connect with your humor so well.
I had no idea how beautiful Utah was. I want to visit now. Thanks for another great video.
thanks Justin for taking us on this awesome trip! that place is magnificent. can't wait to see more. drive carefully bud, PS Mustang looks great.
Love all your videos Justin!!! Hope your knee doesn't hurt too much....
I'm so glad you like it here! At first I thought you were in Arizona because hardly anyone who comes through Utah films it (at least that I know of), but then I noticed the trees and buildings and thought, "Nope, that is definitely St. George."
I've been to Utah a few times now for vacationing. I can't say enough how much I love it there. If my field of work was there, I would quit here, pack up and leave today to live there. So hopefully when I retire, we will settle down around Virgin, LaVerkin or somewhere in that vicinity. The people are the nicest, friendliest folks we have ever encountered on all our travels. It feels like home.
You well represented a state I used to live and got the history fairly spot on. Excellent job.
Yes BRYCE! Welcome to Utah, Enjoy your stay!
beautiful, awesome scenery
This reminded me of Sedona Arizona. I went last year and me and my husband's reaction were exactly like yours. We couldn't believe our eyes
We live in St. George! You were about 1 minute from our house! We found your channel because we have held annual passes to Disneyland for the past 5 years. The drive is only 5.5 hours away, so we go 5 - 7 times a year
Awesome video, once again. Thank you for taking me on vacation when I'm stuck at home packing.
Utah is one incredibly fascinating state. I've been there lots of times. I consider it my "home away from home".
I'm LDS myself, so I know a lot about Brigham Young and the history of Utah.
Awesome video. Thanks for taking us with you and safe travels.
Enjoying this adventure Justin! You enthusiasm makes it so much fun. Absolutely awesome views!!
I got lost in Bryce Canyon once. It is beautiful. Great job!
I remember driving through those tunnels from the East when I was young. We had never driven that way home from visiting our family in Kansas, but Mama wanted to see Zion. It was night and we thought we would NEVER get to the end of that tunnel!
Justin...thanks for visiting the great state of Utah! That is my home state. I live in Arizona now, but I grew up in Provo (45 minutes south of Salt Lake City) in the shadows of the Brigham Young University football stadium. The beauty of Utah is something that truly has to be seen to be believed. You definitely need to go back to Zion National Park! It is my favorite national park in the state (and we have a few!). Also, I always appreciate your open mind when learning about different cultures. The Mormon culture has a very rich history, and is SO misunderstood by people. I was born and raised in the religion and continue to take a part in it to this day. Also, there has always been a joke (but it is so true!) that Mormons are the biggest Disney/Disneyland fans on earth! If I am any kind of example, then it is true! We LOVE our Disney!!!
Happy trails, my friend! :)

That is amazing scenery! Really glad I found your channel a few months ago!
LOVE!!!! Welcome to Utah! I found you by watching one of your videos about Disneyland, two years ago, and have enjoyed watching your new ones, since. I live in Utah and thoroughly enjoyed this video and look forward to the next one, to see what else you have planned while you are here. I enjoy your enthusiasm, your thirst for knowledge and your adventurous spirit. I learned several things from this video and have been inspired to check out a couple of the locations you went to, that I have never been. As you mentioned you are moving north, I would like to suggest Antelope Island, The Great Salt Lake, Promontory Point and Vernal. I look forward to your take on where you will visit. Keep up the great work and have a great trip!
You are awesome Justin! As a Mormon, I loved your commentary on the history and I must say I burst out laughing with the Brigham Young, Medium and Old joke!!! 😀
It's a sick day for me and your videos are really cheering me up as always, thank you!
I live in Hurricane and have never been to that museum! I need to go see 110 yo cake. lol. Thanks for showing me a place to go see in my own town. I visit your town all the time, thanks for returning the favor.
I loved this video Justin!! Especially seeing Bryce Canyon, and hearing you wheeze like Stevie the disabled kid from Malcolm In The Middle toward the end of your trek!! :-) looking forward to more Utah.
Great footage! Now I have to go see for myself, thank you Justin!!
So many interesting and beautiful places to check out! Take it easy and rest your knee!
Bro! I'm from Utah! So awesome to see a youtuber travel to our state.
I think your vlogs are awesome and I always get excited about the trips... My brother-in-law's wife's parents live in St George and I was told it's really a cool place to live... After watching this, it really makes me want to visit this place a lot more than I did before I watch the video... Thanks for all the good information!!!
Welcome to Utah, Mr. Scarred. Love your videos :)
When I am a momma I want to take my kids to Zion National Park now! Looks so awesome!
Nice job Justin. Keep up the good work.Welcome to Utah, hope you have a great visit.
THAT WAS SO COOL AND THE SCENERY IS AMAZING
I love this... I live in the st george area and since i am not mormon i have a lot of the same reactions towards our history
Dude I live in Utah, and as soon as I go to Disneyland he goes to Utah!!!!
Dude I just about fell out of my seat I was laughing so hard when you showed pictures of Brigham Young Brigham medium and Brigham old. I myself am Mormon and I found that to be completely hilarious.
What a wonderful tour guide! A treasure. Love Utah, such beautiful places. You need to go to Zion and Kanab someday. Tons of movie filming locations there.
Zion is amazing but Bryce Canyon will BLOW YOUR MIND!
This is amazing!! I'm convinced to visit and especially realizing it was the inspiration for Big Thunder! The drive out looked serene as well! Perfect to take with a couple of good friends. Thanks for sharing! PS, the typo at 21:14 haha!
Always a thumbs up dude! I haven't even watched the video yet 😁👍
One of your best ones yet. I am so jealous. Keep up the good content. Stay safe in the olddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd west.
I can sympathize with climbing those switchbacks. I hiked down into the Grand Canyon to Havasupai and the switchbacks on the hike back up to the top nearly killed me. Totally worth the 10+ mile hike though. The Havasupai waterfalls inside the Grand Canyon are beautiful!!!
Finally!!! If I could give you 20+ likes on this video I would! For the past couple years of watching, I have always wanted you to go to Utah. Being from West Virginia, we never seen anything as this, thats why eventually we plan to move to St. George/Hurricane/Virgin area. Lot of fond memories there. Glad you got to go to Zion and Bryce!
Lol love that dissin' Terry joke! 🤣 you are right about the national parks. If you're ever in northwestern Colorado the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and Gunnison Gorge are amazing!!
welcome to our beautiful state Justin!!!
Love the borat reference
My home state! I'm glad you got to enjoy the scenery in Utah. When you come back you'll need to hike up the Narrows in Zion. They are gorgeous slot canyons. Or visit Delicate Arch in Arches National Park!
That's it, I'm going! Thanks sharing 👍🏼
The pattern in the weird rocks you saw are called crossbeds. They are formed by wind blowing sand dunes before they became rock.
Thanks homie, much love!!!
Wow! it really does look like Big Thunder Mountain! I need to visit Utah now.
That rock you were standing in front of at the end looks like a turtle. Thank you so much for this video. I've never been to Zion or Bryce Canyon but love to see videos about them. To me they are the most amazing places in the United States. Sure wish I could see them in person.
Tormund Giantsbane is the mascot? That is amazing!
Absolutely stunning! Be safe!
Utah is very Beautiful!
I always thought that the Wingate mascot looks like Dream Finder. All you need is Figment.
So cool to see the real inspirations!
We just did a video at the recent big Disneyland auction, have you ever gone to one? I bet you're like us and wish we could buy it all haha
I died when he said the doll was like Frodo of the nine fingers
I definitely recommend delicate arch, it was breathtaking!
Glad you enjoyed Utah! Bryce is pretty amazing. Next time I'd suggest you schedule a horseback ride into the canyon. The wranglers are great and you get to feel a little like a cowboy! :)
You just inspired my next vacation. Thanks!
well, that museum in hurricane (sp) was very informative. now i know where the saying, "i don't have a pot to piss in" came from!
That is Gorgeous! If you haven't been to Sedona, AZ; I highly recommend checking it out when you can. the Red Rock is beautiful over there as well
I was eating my lunch at work, and I was watching your video Justin, then I got to the part of the cake and the bacon and my stomach got 💫💥💫💥. ..!!!!
That was nasty...!!!
Love your video buddy keep going To the infinity and beyond....!!!!
I've been through Utah several times, but never got off the train I was riding on. I never saw such beautiful rock formations as you displayed on this video, and didn't know they existed! I thought Disney was exaggerating, but not so much. (Well, the real item doesn't have spinning tops on the rocks.) Well, Justin, I continue to enjoy your adventures, tagging along with you via TH-cam.
Holy Crap that was Outstanding! I've seen my brothers pics of the area but your vid really brought them to life. Definitely on my bucket list! There is a trail in Zion, called Angels Landing that I would love to do someday. It would be extremely height prohibited for you Justin. Thanks man! Love watching your Adventures!!!!!
My hope for this trip of yours is to end up somewhere close to see the Eclipse. Your coverage of that event would be priceless!!!! (just north of Salt Lake)
welcome to Utah! I love it here!
I am seriously thinking of moving to St. George some day.
I was just there for the first time earlier this summer! It is truly a wonder to behold, and very beautiful! It's worth the steep hill climbs for sure! I hope you do go back to Zion, there's a lot to see there too. Just be prepared to do some walking. Try hiking the Narrows. No heights on that trail :)
Wow! Never been there...wondered about the real place...thank you Justin! I've been through the mountain tunnel into Yosemite several times...do not like it so long that it takes awhile to even see the light at the end of the tunnel either! I'm going in from another direction next time even though there were lights inside.
You did great with your Utah and Mormon history!
Best time to visit imo is October! Great weather. No crowds.
Chuckled that the actor who plays Tormund in Game of Thrones is what you called the "Mascot" for the hotel. Thanks for that laugh.
Awesome job and funny ending !!!
I ordered a gluten-free pepperoni at Pizza Port yesterday. I told them you sent me, and they all seemed to appreciate that!
Welcome to Utah! Hope you have fun here!
"Woah" - Crash Bandicoot
Awesome video of Utah man, great coverage. I wish I could go there someday badly.
I think why us Dutch and other people from outside the USA go so often to the United Stated National Parks is at least for us we learn a about it in school a bit and here in particular there was a kids show where one of the seasons was fully centered around the USA en fully recorded there. Especially featuring The national parks on the west coast as well as the Orlando Theme Parks. Its why I love the countryside and amusement parks of your country so much.
keep up the lotr references! I'm loving it!!
GREAT VIDEO, need to get out there soon to Bryce and Zion national parks. so much to see.
Awesome!!! Will definitely have to visit Utah.
You gotta go back to Zion and do the shuttle tours. It's amazing. I love Zion, its my favorite National Park tied with Yellowstone.
Justin, you crack me up! 😊 safe travels 😊
I used to live in Cedar City, which is in relatively close proximity to both Zion and Bryce Canyon. I've also been to the Grand Canyon, and you're not imagining things; Bryce Canyon is definitely prettier, if nothing else.
That area is really gorgeous! I gotta visit it sometime! :)
