Beautiful landscape as always! Loving seeing all the nature it's so calming. Thanks for the adventure.

The theories I favor are 1. Was used as observatory(s), 2. used slaves, increasing and decreasing dependingly. Involving cruelty, oddities, unusual, strange, incomprehensible, not understandable. Thanks Mysteries need solving.

We stayed at a hotel in New Orleans and the rooms were named for the movie stars who stayed there. This reminds me of that hotel.

I really enjoyed this latest episode. We love the Kanab area and then Zion, Bryce, and Red Canyon. It was so fun seeing your take on the Sand Caves and Belly of the Dragon. We enjoyed the Mossy Cave hike. It was very pleasant early in the morning (only 2 other people were there)! Hopefully, you’ll fit it in while Bryce. I’ll be looking forward to your future episodes of your summer adventures. Southern Utah can’t be beat! Our “travel styles “ are the same! Take care always. 😊

This is an awesome trip. Love that you are stopping along the way. I think of the trips I have taken and what I missed by not stopping.

Prime grade Cactus Altas right here! You could spend a very long time in that area of the country and still not see it all. Thanks for the ride along yall!!

I really enjoy your videos and posts. We're going to be in the area of the Sand Caves in September. How long did the full hike take? Thanks.

Beautiful country up there in that part of Utah! I’m looking forward to this series! 👍😀

Parry Lodge sounds like a place we will visit in the future, thanks for the info.

People love their dumb Hollywood movies.

Thanks, Glenn and Amy, for this very interesting road trip video. Loved the Parry Lodge and its history! And what a beautiful place to end the video at the Escalante Petried Forest state park. Thanks for letting us come along!

I have the great pleasure of living in Kanab

Really enjoyed the video, it was peaceful, beautiful and entertaining. ❤😊

Make time for Mossy cave trail next time

So beautiful!

I really enjoyed the scenic area of this route, just so beautiful! Would be fun picking through the sparkly rocks, too! Another fun and informative video, Glen. Thank you so much!

Just stunning, as usual!!! The editing is so good, as usual! And while I always enjoy the music you pick, this episode is really UP THERE in terms of music choices.....ESPECIALLY the beautiful music you used for the Sand Caves! What a fun and beautiful way to spend an hour of my evening!!! (I re-watched several sections!!) Thank you both so much!!❣

We stopped at the sand caves in December and had a few tricky spots to get to. Had to some crab walking and some sliding on way back down.

Thank you, Cactus Atlas, for doing road trips that are "doable." We have been following your channel for a little while and really appreciate your giving suggestions for road trips that one can manage and still enjoy the beauty of nature without tearing one's vehicle up. (smile)😊

Utah is a beautiful state. In the late 70's i lived in Vernal, Utah in the northeast part of the state. Very close to SKINWAKER RANCH! :)

Great video! Been to Belly of the Dragon....there is a short dead end trail after you go through the cave...just fyi. Also, the Mossy Cave trail is fabulous and worth the stop.....and take note for next time, there is an overflow parking lot about 1/4 mile down the road. I'll be in the Zion National Park area for three weeks mid July to end of July....maybe I'll see you and Slim! Make sure you go to the Pizza and Noodle in town for dinner one evening ...best pizza! Stay safe!

The sandstone caves look like a palace. Imagine torches on the walls, oriental rugs on the ground.....of course you'd have to get rid of all that sand. first! Thanks Amy and Glenn for this road trip! ⚡️🏜⚡️

Another great adventure! Those sand caves were amazing and so beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward as always to the next video!

Way up yonder in them sandstone cliffs you can see pick marks on the walls. The way i understand it was that cave is actually an old mine. That sand could only be found in that location. I don't remember for what purpose. Maybe a dam? I'll browse through my old stuff and see what i find. It even has pillars in it. I think i know and since i don't like to advertise other peoples videos on the one I'm watching I'll get with you later. When you see pick marks and pillars, it's usually been mined. Running across the grass brings out the primitive man. Like swinging on a vine.😂 Sounds like Slim will get a work out. Tell him i said Howdy!

Wonderful video of one of my favorite routes anywhere. According to a Kanab local I spoke with the sand caves are man made. He said they were mined briefly and that the quality of the sand was conducive to making bullet proof glass…his story anyway. Mossy Cave along with some of the Valley of Fire hikes ranks as one of the best short hikes in the southwest. The cave is actually kind of meh, but the hoodoos, waterfall, and river make for a lot of bang for the short distance hiked. Thanks again for taking us along to this beautiful part of the country.

Petroglyph on ceiling

Yeah Bryce is high

Thanks for sharing. I love ❤ your travels 😊

Love that southern Utah ❤ thanks for sharing 👍

Awesome video! Met you briefly in the Escalante Petrified Forest State Park. Thanks again for your videos! My family and I stayed at Fort Churchill State Park in Nevada after watching your video there. Cheers and keep up the good work!

Excellent, thank you ❤ from London UK

Much thanks for this trip! I grew up in CA and we really enjoed travelling the states in the 80s in rented rvs or privat car. I still have a big chunk of petrvied wood on my chiney "stolen" from AZ, Shame on me. Greetings from Bavaria

Sheep? why? well the Basque herders from Spain settled the area. Cordes Junction/Lake are named for the Cordes family. My principal in grade school, Mr. Cordes' uncle was whom the town was named after.

Great video! The Gold Butte/Little Finland is an area I've always wanted to explore. Alien looking rock formations in that area.

Let me know if you get a solid answer about your drone flight question. From what I read in studying for my TRUST certificate you are allowed to fly from outside the park. One NPS official even stated they can't really enforce anything that takes place outside the park. State trust land should be differentiated from a national park because they are completely separate land use rules and regulations. It wouldn't make sense if you had to follow NPS rules on state trust land that it wouldn't just be incorporated into the park. You never know with government though. You still couldn't fly over the park but you might be able to get some cool shots from higher up. You're the reason I ended up with a drone, thanks for that LOL. I love your videos and enjoy following along on your journeys.

That IS a hard rock mine. Pretty much any mining like that is considered a hard rock mining operation. I think what you meant was an underground mine. Copper is too spread out for underground usually, much more efficient to do an open pit because you are pulling a smaller percentage of ore out with more waste mixed in. Very rarely is it in high concentration veins like gold where you can follow them underground and get most of it out. The mine I work at moves almost 2,000,000 tons of material to get 3,087 tons of copper(refined) every year. Actually I don't know where those numbers came from, they were online but I know for a fact we move more than that lol. Our average per shift is over 80k tons, that's 160 per day and we run 365, no breaks. Over 58 million tons of material moved. I'm not sure what our copper production is for sure.

If you cross the highway the remains of the Boquillas ranch are there to explore. The one house used to be the teachers, if I remember correctly. There used to be an annual reunion of former townspeople and they used to do tours of the town. That white building is the old mercantile and was just stabilized within I'd say the last five years. It was a big project.

So, seeing fog or clouds always reminds me of this: Carl Sandburg wrote: The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. March came in like a lamb on the Vineyard, a soft, fuzzy, foggy lamb. That was an inspiring video!

Enjoyed the detailed views of Chaco. Thank you.

What a ride! A 4x4 is not in our plans- so its fun touring those toads with you guys!

Try and rock stack for an easier entry/exit on approach! You can replace rocks after to leave trail clean.

I agree with exploring more ghost towns, those are very interesting and fun to get to. Half the fun of it is learning about the area and researching it.

My husband and I were hee hawing all over during the intro. The crack in the wet beaver. 🦫 🍑

Believe it or no, that old Servel refrigerator used Kerosene, natural gas or LPG. They were the best you could get if you did not have readily available electricity or stored winter ice.

This goes on in the Big American cities daily. In central Florida today June 25th 3 people murdered by a sick man. Todays killers are not to be shown.

Onyx Cave and the Cave of the Bells are in that area.

Early automobiles had gas tanks between placed between the front seat and the engine so gravity was great for getting gasoline to the old carburetors of that time.

The school house was used into the 1940s, so yes it would of had electricity. The town's generator building is located on the land for the town. I run the paranormal tours and events for Vulture City

24:12 less talk about yourself on long drives and talk about the area. Otherwise ok

There are actual records for many, but not all of the graves. Yes many of the graves are of children. The Spanish influenza 1918 to 1920 killed many.
