It does! The park is huuuuuuge. When we've gone in the past we typically have just stopped at two places and moved along to other sites in the area. It's really hard to fit into a day.
We went back in March. But we couldn't drive all the way through because of road work at the bridge so we had to turn around and go back. We didn't go all the way around to see the south end due to time restraints. But it was really cool what we did see of it. We were glad we stopped. Funny that people see you talking to yourself and move on LOL. I know I've had some strange looks. It happens.
Yeah, the park is HUGE. It's a long way to drive around to get to either side if you have to travel back the way you came in and go around to the other side. Road work is necessary but it's unfortunate that many people had similar experiences to yours and missed parts of the park. I always wonder what people think seeing someone talking to themselves (or rather a camera). Before vlogging I never really saw too many people doing it so I can't speak for myself. Are they disturbed or simply just wanting to get away from being on camera. I always wonder....
@@CactusAtlas Haha possibly a little bit of both. But I'm thinking most are wanting to get away from being on camera. But it is a good way to make people keep their distance when you want them to lol
Were these petrified trees cut into logs and stumps after they were petrified and found in modern times or were they found already looking like they were sawed? Because if they were sawed off millions of years ago. Ancient civilizations!
Ok, I was there in June, did that hike, real glad you hiked it, beautiful place, i said this in your other video that you need to check out the aliens on newspaper rock! Dig your videos.
Thanks as always! We have part 3 coming up where I visit newspaper rock as you will see next week most likely. I didn’t learn about the aliens until you mentioned them last time, after my visit. So, in the video, you will see that I appear underwhelmed, mainly because I was not able to zoom in with my camera and the petroglyphs were in the shade and hard to see. Since then I recently saw some other pictographs with what appeared to be very alien-like figures in Utah. Those I filmed and you will also see them soon. But, when you see my visit to newspaper rock, be warned that I overlooked some key things and comment that it didn’t seem that great, but I am walking back that statement a bit in advance. I look forward to going back and checking it out again! Some of the stuff those old cultures carved/painted is very strange indeed!!!!
Bastards locked the gate off I-40 when I stopped in May, COVID-19, horse hockey, a road closed, unbelievable. Drove to the south gate, it too was locked. Why do they need rangers at this park? I was ok with the gift shop being closed, but the road???? There is a paved hiking path through Blue Mesa.
I cannot say what the conditions were to close the park. I'm sure there were concerns and a need for rangers to be safe as visitors could easily stop and wander off. Having to potentially rescue anyone in trouble could put employees at risk. Just guessing the reasoning... can't really say. I do know there was a lot of road and bridge work being done as well. The Blue Mesa Trail is the one that we hiked and filmed at the end of this video.
Ugghhhh so much to take in. From the ground to the clouds you capture so much. The colors of the sedimentary layers is just just merrffff.
This landscape is so much prettier than the badlands in South Dakota. It has so much more color. Loved it.
If you like the landscape, keep watching! We explore more in the Painted Desert/Badlands area in some future videos. Even a sunset!
I've never seen anything like those Badlands, that was amazing. Thanks for taking us on another adventure.
We've got more where that came from. 😉
Amazing and interesting landscape. Great way explore the beautiful desert landscapes. Great production.
There's definitely not a shortage of variety here. LOL. Thanks for watching! 😊
Very cool trip 😎👏
It really was. Thanks for watching!
You need more views, my dude. Wonderful visual production, sound, and narration!
Wow! Thank you so much! 😊
I never did see that natural bridge. WOW! Gramma Candy
Fascinating, isn't it?
Such a beautiful area! It does take lots of time to enjoy all of it!! Thanks for the tour!

wow that is truly a spectacular place!
It is! There is simply so much to see due to the size of the place.
Amazing landscape I've ever seen, very nice content the best captured so that's why I fully watched this video very informative too. New friend here.
Hi and welcome! Thanks so much for watching and the comment. 😄
87 views, really?! It should be like 87,000 views!!!!!!
LOL! Maybe one day! While 87k would be nice, we'll take what we can. Thanks for the comment (and laugh)! 😂
1k, today! 😎🙌👊

We were there in the mid 80's but we missed the pedestal bridge. Maybe we didn't to the north area. Gramma Candy

Likely they petrified and broke apart due to water elevation changes, ground movement and such.
