These are probably the best explained and visualized tours of certain areas that I've ever seen. The graphics with text showing different highlights as they look from photos and videos of the area really help you get an idea of what to expect and plan for.
Love Grand Staircase, went down the road to Devil's Garden, but we continued straight to hike some slot canyons, would love to go back & explore more. Also love knowing the Geology of the desert, that's awesome that huge rock, balanced no less, Wow!! Awesome Backcountry you filmed, just amazing, will always love & appreciate the desert, thanks for sharing 🏜️
Thank goodness, they are trying to protect this area. Some people think it doesn't matter what we do to the Earth, but it does! If we don't protect them, what will we have left? The deserts are not wastelands, like people believed, and some still do. I've been looking at the damage, caused from mining and even farming. After they get done extracting what they want, it is a wasteland. Drilling and fracking too. In agriculture, the big circles are farming. The brown circles are from the land being no longer useful. There's a good documentary series, called: "H2O". It's a four part series. They are all good, but 3, explains the farm circles in the deserts. I really enjoy your videos. I follow a few people, who show these places, but I have a hard time following some of them. They don't say where they are. Finding where they are is difficult, but with you, I find my way, easily. I'm paraplegic and can't get around anymore, so I go with you guys. What a beautiful place.
I was stuck in the Northstar Expeditions program based out of Escalante from August 93, to Feb 94. This area is where we were. I know everything you video and photographed. Brings back some serious goosebump memories. Thank you. Sharing with former students.
When we did the full loop trip, which is quite a distance (~70 miles), we saw no other vehicles. I take that back, only one truck, and it was the owner of the hotel we were staying at in Escalante!
i always love your videos! i have to ask, how'd the renegade trailhawk handle the roads? i was pleasantly surprised to see the same car i have in one of your videos!
Thank you. Don't know what an sxs is. The road condition thru the canyon always changes. I'd check with the BLM office in Escalante for latest conditions.
You have done a superb job of introducing some of the most beautiful country on earth. Thanks
Thank you! There's lots to see in this State on back roads like this. Thanks for commenting.
Another fantastic road trip!
Thank you!
After watching this video, I had to put this one on our Bucket List. Thank you, well done.
It's a great little trip. Thanks!

There's not many comments I save, but I will definitely save yours! Thanks for the kind words.

Happy to bring you back the memories! Thanks for commenting.
We drove from Escalante up the Alvey Wash road. Now I know what is beyond where we turned around! Thanks for the tour!
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting
Thank u so much ❤
You're welcome!
It would be great to meet you on the roads or trails of the Kaiparowitz.

Great dissertation on the time scale. Hard to imagine how long ago these layers were put down. Hopefully the geology will outlast the political issues
Thanks! Yup, having those visuals in presentations makes all the difference, even if it is from a small brochure I picked up from the BLM.
i always love your videos! i have to ask, how'd the renegade trailhawk handle the roads? i was pleasantly surprised to see the same car i have in one of your videos!
It seemed to do fine. They followed us on several other, even more rough, roads on that trip.
Hello, well done video Can this route be done with a sxs ? Thanks
Thank you. Don't know what an sxs is. The road condition thru the canyon always changes. I'd check with the BLM office in Escalante for latest conditions.
I hope to make this trip. God willing.
Thanks for your response. A sxs/ side by side also UTV as some are called, are they able to use this trail?
Sorry, I wouldn't know. Knowing Utah, they probably are. Contact the Escalante BLM office.
Did you meet much oncoming traffic?
One vehicle in the canyon and probably one other vehicle heading north towards Escalante. Lots of vehicles on Hole in the Rock Rd.
@@BackRoadsWest1 was it ever difficult to pass one another?
