- Deep in Canyon Country is one of the most beautiful trails in Utah... Poison Springs. It's been over four years since I have tackled this trail and I have been itching to get back. So when Donald over at Softroadingthewest asked me to join him on his epic Utah trip I was excited to join and show him a few of my favorite places. We met early Friday morning for two days of adventure.

![Happy Canyon | One of Utah's BEST! via Poison Springs Rd, Hike & Float [4K UHD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/m2FcxkpAp-4/mqdefault.jpg)
Jared, this was absolutely spectacular! I know very well the difficulty of getting the camera to do justice to the majesty of some places, but honestly I was surprised watching this...I already remembered this as my most epic drive of the week but in your video it actually looks even better than I remember. The drone shots are fantastic and really hammer home how mind-blowing these landscapes were.
I also know very well how difficult it is to boil down hours of footage into a concise, watchable story, and you just nailed it here. I was entirely captivated even though I knew what was coming next, haha! Music soundtrack was on point as well. Such nice work, you should have SO many more subscribers.
Thank you again for meeting up and planning this incredible excursion. It really was the highlight of my week in Utah.
I agree, it is amazing and that soundtrack is definitely up there for sure! Loved the intro shot as well if I say so myself 😁
Thanks so much. This was such an amazing adventure!
I'm a refugee coming over from Soft Roading the West's channel. Also Canuck, we specialize in northern Vancouver Island, northern BC, Yukon, Northwest Territories. Sort of glacier collectors, lots of dirty, zero maintained mine access roads to get up there in places most others don't go. Both your jam and mine are massively beautiful. Subbed, thanks for the pretty pictures.
Welcome! That sounds incredible the PNW is so stunning. I’d love to do some exploring in BC. I love the history behind early mining.
I've been following you for several years now and I have to say that this is, hands down, the best video you've ever produced. Beautiful scenery, great camera work and excellent music. Well done.
I really appreciate that Bill. This trip was incredible I’m glad I was able to capture some of it.
I enjoyed this video even more watching it the second time. 👍🏼👍🏻
Hey ! I am a Donald Sub. and now yours .This so beautiful! It is something I wont be doing soon ,But I Thanks you all for taking us on your adventure Becky @ The Home of the Simpsons!
Thanks Becky! Welcome!
Came over from Donald's channel. That is some pretty country out there! Thanks for taking us along on the ride! George.
Thanks! I’d love to meet up for some Idaho adventures.
@@BackroadExploration Sounds good. I sent you a email. Hope to get together sometime. It would be fun! Thanks for your interest! George.
Another great video Jared! Way to go pal…
Great to see Donald with you, good to give him a tour of our amazing state.
It was awesome meeting up with him. He went to a few places in his first two days I’ve never seen. I need to go check them out.
So beautiful
Better than I remember!
Wow truly amazing! And exceedingly camera work! Love it! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching. This trip was so much fun.
Got the link to this video from SoftRoadingTheWest. Awesome video! Utah is amazing!
Thanks so much for watching!
Came here on Donald’s recommendation, glad I did. I’ve never heard of your channel before, but I just subscribed . Excellent video, commentary and scenery. Looking forward to seeing more of your work .
So happy to have you! I’m excited about the next part of this trip. I’d recommend checking out a few of my most recent videos as well.
Very nice videography. Among a few that I would choose. Keep it up.
Thank you!
Really nice video Buddy, enjoyed it very much. Found you via Donald's channel. Utah sure is amazing.
Thanks Mike! This was so great meeting up with Donald. He’s even better in person. Genuine, funny and great company.
I want to go so bad, but obligations like growing food and caring for animals makes it a future dream right now. I live it through channels like yours, and I thank you for it.
What kind of Farm/Ranching are you operating? Lots of farming in my family history.
@@BackroadExploration Just a small garden but with the way things are, I feel it's more important to grow as much food as I can for myself and enough to have some to away rather than travel. Animals are just the pets, but in the sticks where I live it's hard to get a garden/kitty sitter.
Makes sense.
Amazing! Simply amazing! I am several shades of green with envy!
Such a beautiful fun area!
Cool been waiting for these episodes to start. Donald's channel is great. Awesome episode Jared!
Thanks! It was so much fun to spend this time with Donald!
Love the colab!
Thanks John!
Both channels AWESOME 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome collab video and what a great opportunity to show Donald some of your home turf!
💯 he was the best part of the trip. Awesome guy. So gracious to let me showcase this part of his adventure.
I ❤ Utah!
Great video, one of your best 👍
Appreciate that J.G.!
Awesome trip! Love the drone footage
Donald sent me here and happy he did. Great job show casing your adventure. We pulled a 30’ travel trailer through Utah last summer ( from Cape Cod Ma ) spent time at Kodachrome St Park and Brice Canyon. Utah is just Amazing. Can’t wait to get back there someday and explore a lot more. Thank you for this series.
Sounds like an amazing adventure! No matter how much exploring I do here, I keep finding more I want to do.
Wow that's a 1949 or 1950 Hudson Hornet pretty kool. Awesome video of you two brothers and Donald hanging out in the dirt. ✌️out
Awesome insight! I had no idea what vehicle it was. Love running across old rigs like that on the trail.
Awesome! Beautiful work and scenery.
It’s one I need to take you on as well!
Sick! Really enjoyed this! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Just, Just speechless.
Gonna have to watch this a few more times.
I feel this! I’ve spent hours looking at the footage editing. It was so hard to choose what to keep and what to cut. Just unreal.
Save the edited parts for times you need to do an upload or do a longer unedited version @@BackroadExploration . Got the feeling from the comments, I doubt anyone would complain of a longer unedited version.
Can't wait to see part two
Fantastic video of an incredibly beautiful landscape! Not sure if my rig could handle some of the areas you were in, but I had to drop a marker anyway. 😀
It is slow-moving at times, but most 4x4 should be able to tackle it. The scenery is next level!
Awesome video of Awesome terrain, awesome drone footage as well. Subscribed based on this video alone. Look forward to more! And thanks
Thanks Carol! Excited to have you.
This video gets a save to my personal playlists of places I want to see.
I’d put it up against any other place to visit in Utah including all of the National Parks except Canyonlands.
@@BackroadExploration I did half of white rim trail in 2018. But the trail was washed out at Colorado river that year. I want to return but so hard to get camp site on trail.
Love the White Rim. This one rivals it beauty wise and is much less busy. Both are well worth the visit.
2 giant collide with an amazing resault!
Thanks!
I absolutely loved watching this. (New sub). Just incredible. Oh, how I love that red rock country in Utah. I'm in Colorado, and so close to all of this magnificent country. Great video.
Thanks! The Red Rock is incredible something that has to be experienced in person to truly comprehend.
Flint Trail is serious off roading. Made famous and the first time I heard of it is in Ed Abbeys Desert Solitare. Might have been early 60's they went down to the Maze. Good video, thank you.
Interesting book. It would have been really neat to explore some of these trails back then.
Awesome video, Hanksville is my overlanding hub!
It’s such a beautiful place! The areas all around it!
Over from Softroadingthewest… beautify job on the cinematography and narration. Really enjoyed the adventure. Just subscribed!
Thanks Richard. I’m so happy to have you!
Another carryover from Softroadingthewest, great video, subbed, will be checking out your other Utah videos!
Thanks! Happy to have you along. A few of my favorite trips. Pony Express Trail. Moab Overlanding Trip, Searching for Pictogrpahs, Black Dragon Wash, and my White Rim Trail trips.
@@BackroadExploration thanks! Will def check those out!
New to your channel and came over because of Softroadingtgewest, This was an amazing video and one that makes me want to come to Utah, from Oregon and do that same trip. You must have some amazing camera gear, or you are a whiz at editing, but either way, the colors were so awe inspiring. Loved this video and will definitely check out more of them. Spectacular.
Gary so happy to have you! This area is so stunning. I have lots coming down the line and a nice backlog of adventures.
"Small Wood Donald" sent me. Nice !
😂😂 Glad to have you!
I loved the story telling, the camera angles, and the music. a very nice film. The one thing that I found distracting was the differences in lighting from one clip to the next. I don't know if it was different cameras used or different settings, the shadows had no detail in some shot and highlights a little blown out. This in no way should be taken as I didn't like it, I did like. I agree with Donald, you should have more subs as well as you tell a story (you did get me as a new sub). I did come over from Softroadingthewest and enjoy his channel very much and glad to have found your channel. I look forward to watching more of you and the adventures you go on.
Thanks Rob! I appreciate the feedback. Consistency between clips is something I’m working to improve. Adventures like this are particularly hard because we had footage from over 5 cameras. Two DSLRs, Two GoPros different years, drone and a few cell phone clips. Better cinematography and consistency on my end would have helped for sure. So happy to have you here!
That route is already on my list for next fall.
From that sign going into the national park it gets tougher and slower going. 7 months ago we went down Flint Trail and to the Doll House, very slow going there. The rangers warned us that the Flint Trail had a lot of damage from runoff and we could tell. It didn't seem to be very bad in your scenes. Once you get to the top it's much easier going from there. Past Hans Flat you can make good time.
From Hanksville through Hans Flat back to Hanksville is a long way offroad, be sure what your range is offroad before going, or bring extra gas. On terrain like some of that slow going through the national park I get half the mileage I get on paved roads.
Exactly! I am on the hunt for permits for the Doll House. The switch backs were in really good shape for us.
Another SRTW subscriber sent over.
Great trail! The vistas in the SW are tough to beat. The Mid-Atlantic is woods, woods, woods, vista peak, woods, woods, woods, lol.
So happy to have you here. The views seem like they go on forever. When making this it was so hard to choose what to keep and what had to go. I grew up in the mountains so I love the woods. Although not nearly as dense as the woods you have, but the desert it’s just magic.
@@BackroadExploration I didn't used to think much of the desert landscape. Then I actually went there. It has a wonderful beauty all its own, and the scale is undescribable. Like you said, impossible to do justice with video, it just must be experienced.
didn't get to see any dolls in the dollhouse
No. Still on the list of places I want to visit. Permits were booked.
Great video! Is there a video of the 4Runner set up? Curios of any suspension modes along with some of the other visible add ons. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Greg. Sorry I missed your comment. We do not have a walk around video of Mikes rig. For the most part it is stock. He has upgraded his tires, built a sleeping platform for it: th-cam.com/video/AGRCj570jQM/w-d-xo.html added some rock sliders: th-cam.com/video/VGLaDsi6JXQ/w-d-xo.html and added some supports for his roof rack. The rest is stock.

Here from Donald
Thanks! Happy to have you here.
Great Video! Can a Forester with AT tires (10" of total clearance) and skid plates make the route? If not, can I at least reach the river?
I think you could run the whole trip.
great video and I am wanting to come and explore Utah. I am wondering about Mike's 4Runner. is it stock or lifted? I'm just trying to get a feeling of what I can do in my non lifted TRD OR 4Runner
It’s a stock SR5. I scrape my hitch a lot, but had no other issues on day one of this trip. On day 2 I did dent the corner of my bumper going through some steep washes that were on a side trail.
@@mikeoldham that is good to hear. I have a 21 TRD offroad and it is stock other than KO2 tires and rock sliders
Time for a rear bumper!
Jared, how does your brother have the jack and traction boards attached to his factory roof rack. I'm having a hard time finding anything that works for my 4R.
I have LFD Offroad Ruggedized Crossbars that are made to fit with the factory rails. I also use the LFD Off-road HI-Lift Mount to attach the high lift. For the traction boards I just use Bungee Balls around the crossbars.
@@mikeoldham Thanks, I have never heard of them but I looked them up.Really like the looks. Do you have the full bundle set on yours from the video. Do you think the whole bundle set with the wind fairing is needed for wind noise or having the wide cross bars versus the normal ones?
@@IcyReaper they didn’t have the wind fairing when I bought mine. I just have 5 individual bars. I’m tempted to get the wind fairing. I never had the stock cross bars so I can’t compare to them. It is louder than no crossbars, and I think my mileage is a bit worse which is why I think I’ll get the wind fairing.
@@mikeoldham Thanks for the info. Love the channel. I do a lot of overlanding and OHVing in Utah.
Mike, 1 last question. What tires are you running on the 4Runner?
Enjoyed your video! But not all of it....I to explore and camp in many areas of the SW. I spend time researching finding remote and beatiful areas on my own. Do not understand why some of you VLOGERS post locations of your trips. PS area will just turn into another Moab more quickly.
Thanks for watching. I have a different view than that. Most people I’ve talked to one of the hardest things about getting out is knowing where to go. So they end up going to the same few places that are well known around them. Leading to overcrowding like Moab. Especially with the influx of people to the sport. Showcasing beautiful remote places encourages people to step outside that comfort zone skip the crowded places and spread out. Most of the places I visit it’s uncommon to see even a few other rigs. It’s a really big world out there and if people spread out and enjoy it we can all take it in without feeling like we are all on top of each other.
Late to the party, but found the video after deciding on a destination for our annual weekend ATV camp out. Wondering if you could point me to some resources to find out more about the trail. My first resource is AllTrails.
Parts of this trip cross into the national park which is not accessible for ATVs. But the poison springs part is. capitolreef.org/trails/poison-spring/
