An Entire Desert Paradise To Myself. Absolutely Epic!

I am continuing my search through the Utah desert. Last episode I left the beautiful waterfalls behind because I am trying to find wildlife during this trip. I have found myself on the Joshua Tree Scenic Byway. I came here looking for a cave, but found something even more incredible. This part of the Mojave has a lot of various terrain that is incredible to lay eyes on. Join me as we explore the backcountry of the desert and see what we can find out here.

I'm happy to see another explorer who is after wildlife. We go after the experience of nature. We go to try to identify new wildlife and plants. How the terrain and climate effects it's all and how it all works together is my favorite part of exploring.

A little tip: Engage your parking brake and THEN put the car in park. It’ll hold better and the car won’t lunge so hard (like it did at 7:01) which translates to way less stress on your parking pawl.

Roger that, I guess I’ve never really thought about it.

@sheerkhanful 10 ай бұрын

I grew up out that way, and when I was young, the tortoises were common. You didn't even need to go off road to find them. They were easy to spot on the sides of the highways. That's why so many got taken for pets.

Hey Tyler great meeting you at Expo West in Flagstaff. This vid is just awesome. Did the Mojave Rd 2 years ago and like your experience, there was a special type of solitude out there. As an Alu Cab guy also I had no doubts you would be fine overnight even in that storm. One of the best purchases I have made along with your advice on the HEST mattress, loving that as well. Be safe and reach out if you are in Arizona. Tom

Thanks for sharing the trip. Everyone has a different view or perspective. It's really cool to hear yours. I love the thunderstorms we get out here in Arizona. Rough nights are memorable. That you did it. That you had the experience. Loved the cinematography of the drone footage at sunset. Gorgeous views.

That’s an amazing area to explore and we do it often in our Gladiator and on our Adventure bike as we own a place in Beaverdam AZ which is minutes from there. We’ve seen a lot of desert tortoise there. East of Mesquite in the mountains is pretty incredible as well.

I work on trucks professionally, so I’m pretty confident if it’s something mechanical that I need to rig up. I have 2 types of radios, and a Delorme (Garmin) inreach device. There are a lot of offroad clubs that will come save people for free. But honestly, within 3-4 hours I usually see someone and people are typically happy to help, even if that’s just getting me to cell phone service.
