Super helpful video! Love the roundup and gorgeous drone footage. I'm hoping to visit one or two state parks next month with my drone, so this gives me a great idea of what the landscapes are like. Thank you!
I gotta say I was super pleased to see how easy they have made it to get drone footage of parks. They managed to keep it respectful to all visitors, but also not a pain in the but for getting beautiful footage of these amazing parks.
Nice...fun to see all the cool spots in my backyard. A side note, the Coral Pink Sand Dunes are really close to the town of Kanab, which actually has quite a bit in way of Hotels, Vacation Rentals, a couple grocery stores and a bunch of amazing restaurants. So, it's not soooo out of the way, but just enough to make it not crazy busy, as this whole area is amazing.
Gunlock Falls at Gunlock State Park has flowed for the past 2 years. Utah's been in a drought and it hadn't flowed in a while. but it is amazing and definitely worth going to see in the spring if we've had a good snowy winter.
Stunning!! I am visiting Bryce Canyon and Zion NP in April. Can not wait. I only have a short time , but I wish I could see so much more. What gorgeous landscapes .
Sounds good Kevin-I look to your videos for hiking and sight seeing info. Off to Colorado in 7 weeks! Did black Elk Peak last Labor Day week in S. Dakota then RMNP. I appreciate your 25 places to hike/visit in Colorado, thanks for the info!
That’s awesome! We didn’t have the time to do Black Elk Peak but I really wanted to, next time. And thank you! You’ll have an amazing trip to Colorado!
It is super easy to register with the state parks individually. You just have to go in the visitor center, fill out some paperwork and pay the drone permit fee (which is $5-20 per park for the ones I’ve flown at). And some parks you can only get permits at certain times of year
i am disabled so i cannot hike too far but still enjoy the outdoors. any best suggestion for disabled people that can enjoy the park without having to hike for miles? ty
A lot of these parks are still worth going to even if just to drive through them! But the state parks have done a great job making a handful of these places very accessible. Goosenecks, dead horse, quail creek, and sand hollow you could visit without having to hike at all. Snow canyon is a beautiful drive with some shorter trail options. I hope this helps!
Go to Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It’s flat sidewalk to it. Also, you can sit on a ferry from Munising, MI to view Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. That’s in the Upper Peninsula as well. Also, Old Faithful in Yellowstone NP has flat sidewalk. In Florida, you can view animals in their wetland habitats on a flat boardwalk at Wakodahatchee and Green Cay in Palm Beach County.
Are you able to drive through Quail Rock in a car and be able to see all the Rock formations? We don't hick since I am 70. Can we see it driving through the park?
You did a nice job on the narration. The music didn't help, as it was distracting from your narration. The videography was generally very good, material was generally useful and value added, I think not many people are aware of some of these state parks in Utah. regards, Dan
I agree with the annual pass to all State parks, but there is also an annual pass for all NATIONAL PARKS too.... With that said, I never bought a pass even though I support it and that's because I discovered (a very long time ago) that if you arrive early enough, before the pay-booth opens, you can "LEGALLY" enter for FREE!!!!!!, so you're NOT STEALING!!!!.. Except for the SELF-PAY parks, so ya, you got to pay there.... Not sure if this applies to all as some may have locked gates or barricades, but it's worked at the ones I went to so far.... I suppose do your research, especially here on TH-cam from other peoples experience.==== I never had a drone, but always wanted to use one for some of my trips.... I'm guessing the reason why they are banned in some places is maybe because some have crashed due to a mechanical issue or battery failure, and they would be considered LITTER and a potential hazard to the wildlife when the weather starts to corrode it and then a worker has to retrieve it.

Excellent Video, and Excellent Photography! Thank You Kevin!
Thanks Doug!
Wow, great one Kevin, looking forward to visiting those hidden gems. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Utah is hands down my favorite state. I'm an outdoors man and an avid rockhound, there is no better place than Utah.
Couldn’t agree more! I love Utah
Goblin Valley is my favorite park and I've been to four of the big five.
Goblin valley is amazing!
Love this! Giving me some great travel ideas!

I’m from Colorado but having drive through Utah I have to say Utah is beautiful
Utah is such a beautiful state!
Gunlock falls still flows, but usually just during spring snowmelt… May, June.
Hopefully we can catch it next time!

Don't forget to scuba at sand hollow there are two wrecks you can dive to
Great video Kevin! How / where did you get drone permits for Goblin and other parks?

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The waterfalls at Gunlock are screaming right now, by the way. They are on the south side of the reservoir.
i am disabled so i cannot hike too far but still enjoy the outdoors. any best suggestion for disabled people that can enjoy the park without having to hike for miles? ty

Are you able to drive through Quail Rock in a car and be able to see all the Rock formations? We don't hick since I am 70. Can we see it driving through the park?
How do I go about getting a permit to fly a sub 250g drone in the state parks?
Can you drive a car through Sand Hollow and see the rock formations?
Can you drive a car through Gunlock SP and see the Rock formations?
Wait-I thought you were in South Dakota? Was looking forward to more from there.
Yes I was! Some videos go up in different orders based on work flow, I have 2 more South Dakota videos in the works!
You did a nice job on the narration. The music didn't help, as it was distracting from your narration. The videography was generally very good, material was generally useful and value added, I think not many people are aware of some of these state parks in Utah. regards, Dan
Like and comment for support!
Thanks as always Steve!
Thanks for the great video! Have you looked into the idea that some of this landscape is melted ancient buildings?
This is gonna get 50k+ views
I sure hope so haha
How did you use a drone at these places? Is there wifi? I would LOVE to take a drone to these places to show my wife as she doesnt travel like i do.
