  • UTAH PART TWO: I push into a new area, hoping to experience not only more of Utah's stark & unique scenery, but also to seek out some of the history to be found tucked into hidden corners of this varied & colorful desert. I was positively glowing after this interesting segment of the adventure!

    LOl, always gotta take a jab at Jason. That T-Rex alone was worth the price of admission, loved it!. "The density of awesome". Well said.

    "The density of awesome." A perfect summation of Utah. Everywhere you drive, around each bend, every way you turn your head, there's something breathtaking to behold! I can't wait to visit again and see some of the offerings outside of the national parks.

    I can't get over how beautiful Utah is. There's an odd feeling that I'm "at home" in Utah, more so than anywhere I've traveled (or lived). Every time I'm up there, no matter where I go (even the places between the destinations) I'm always impressed.

    You got me. Subbed after the Polish guy. Then you trolled the Primal Outdoors guy with his found steel bowl for yoghurt and granola, and faked your find. NICE, lolol. Yes the scenery IS spectacular, and I was equally disappointed in not having the road go through except for quads/ motorcycles etc. The non gracefully galloping horse was also a let down. Beautiful vid, hope to see you on the trail!!

Also you didnt show when you showed the horses it but if you were up on the plateau on hidden splendor road. You can see multiple horse herds at the watering hole east of the road. We have spent hours there overlooking the water hole watching the horse herds interacting. Hope you spent some time at little horse slot canyon while at goblin valley. its a fascinating hike.

    Utah is a stunning state, I remember my road trip through central Utah a few years back seeing places like The Wedge, Buckhorn Wash and Goblin Valley and just being blown away, it’s a totally different experience than we have here up in the NW. I also visited Zion and Bryce national park, they were cool but they were also extremely busy which took away from the experience. You’re doing it the right way.
    Truck damage certainly sucks but I hope you had a awesome time exploring to make up for that!

      From what I’ve read, the raw uranium ore is not dangerously radioactive…it has to be processed and concentrated to have any significant power. It’s actually more dangerous as a heavy metal, so as long as you’re not breathing the dust or eating it, it’s harmless out here like this. 🙂
