Whenever I use geography or geology in a sentence I have to pause and think for a second which is which. Can’t blame -Geology- Geography King for getting them mixed up every now and then…

@@jcorkable (physical) Geography and geology absolutely overlap and are often in the same “geoscience” departments at colleges and universities. Geography is primarily concerned with describing what’s on and the patterns on the surface of the planet, while geology is more focused on the planet he physical matter that makes the o the planet. So for example in physical geography, we barely go into minerals/mineralogy, while geology doesn’t go into as much detail on physical landforms that can be mapped out. Perhaps Kyle can do a video on the difference between the two fields.

@@bhg123ful I took some geology classes in college and I’ve been watching Geography King videos for years so I should definitely know the difference. But then my dyslexia kicks in and I can’t be sure which is which til I think geoGRAPHy=maps not rocks. It’s kinda embarrassing. I do the same thing with astronomy/astrology. I like the idea for a video. In the early days of mapping out natural resources, I imagine the two fields were closely intertwined.

Geology rocks, but geography's where it's at!

@@bhg123ful If I remember it correctly, as this has been decades ago, at my university the geography department was like 10 times the size of ours and was way more popular with girls 😀

Me and a good friend took a trip through southern Utah about 15 years ago. We camped at Bryce one night and some neighboring campers struck up a conversation. They were from the Netherlands, and I asked what part of Europe should I go see if I get the chance. The dad said to just come here, it's better than anything in Europe!

Iceland is amazing. It's like another planet. But so are the places mentioned here, especially southern Utah.

Funny that you mention Iceland because I'd say that my trips to both Iceland and Southern Utah are two of my favorites ever. From here on the East Coast, it actually takes less time to get to Iceland.

YES! There is so much here, especially in the southwest.

Exactly. Sometimes I feel left out that I haven't been to other countries, then I remember there's a thousand places in the US I still want to visit!

I'm calling the cops

I’m in SLC but glad I’m so close to be able to visit

@@Steveofthejungle8 I'm calling the cops

@Steveofthejungle8 For the 4th of July last summer, I drove from SLC to Capitol Reef and back in one day, haha. Took two short hikes, walked through the orchards, took a nap on the grass in the campgrounds, snapped a million pics . . . It was incredible. As a kid, my family went to Capitol Reef every single Labor Day. It's the most underrated park in the state, but sshhh, don't tell anyone.

Nice

I grew up in Washington, UT. Also lived in St. George for a time. Lot's of childhood memories at Snow Canyon, Red Cliffs, Pine Valley, Kolob, etc. My grandmother lived in Escalante so we would make the trip back and forth through Zion and Red Canyon a lot and would camp on Boulder Mtn. Good times!

@@jazzcatjohn Nice! My first year of high school was at Pine View because SC was still being built. The road from Boulder to Escalante is so beautiful. I love Utah.

@@MikeP2055 Have you hiked to Calf Creek Falls between Boulder and Escalante? It would be a National Park in most states.

@@jazzcatjohn YES! I loved it!

Oh, yeah! I love Snow Canyon! It's almost as spectacular as the better known national parks, but nowhere near as crowded.

Good call. Some of the areas around the edges are great too. For example, Hwy 60 through the Salt River canyon ENE of Phoenix is a little-known gem. Ditto I-15 through the Virgin River canyon in NW Arizona. Or I-17 north out of Phoenix, detour through Sedona, and climb the Mogollon Rim onto the Plateau - then continue north on 89. Humphrey's peak is prominent and dominates - particularly once you're north of it looking back. Further north it is kinda neat to see the cliffs rise in the distance and realize you're running up a broad flat valley. On a smaller scale, Chaco Canyon in NM is a fascinating place to camp and hike. Few people make the scramble up to Pueblo Alto on the rim. Fun stuff.

@@philipstaite4775 yes, agree, Salt River Canyon is pretty amazing! Also coming into Jerome over the mountain and seeing Sedona down below is very beautiful.

Canyon de Chelly is one of several canyons l really want to see. Also Antelope Canyon.

White Mountains here. Can confirm.

Glad you realize what you have! Wish more of our fellow countrymen here could have the same attitude as you. New stuff to see and do around every bend. If you don’t like what you’re seeing or doing, drive a couple or a couple hundred miles and you’ll be in a totally different world. It really is a great country despite our faults. Glad you like it. You’re just another stupid, asshole American like all of us now! Ain’t it great? Keep making America awesome and try and see it all, my friend.

And Black Canyon of the Gunnison

I live in La Verkin right near St. George! What a fantastic place! I wouldn’t want to live ANYWHERE else.

There are endless amounts of petrified wood here everywhere you look. There's no need to worry about people taking it- there's so much it's not even particularly valuable.

My favorite part of my visit to Arizona!

Must be rough...

Good advice. Also buy good hiking boots and use them a bunch of times before hitting the canyon. Also be in good-to-very good physical condition before attempting, for a safer and more enjoyable experience.

@@chasbodaniels1744 Also good advice. The Park Service spends a lot of effort hauling overambitious, under-conditioned hikers up from the depths. That's not even counting the idiots in flip flops.

Glad to hear that. I was wondering if this would be accessible to my RV.

@@BillGreenAZ There are campgrounds all over in that area, and we didn’t have any trouble at all. (We had a 32’ Class A with a toad.) There were a couple places where we ended up in small campgrounds with limited facilities, but for the most part it was one big RV park after another. Enjoy! 🏞️

@@auntietara , excellent! Thanks for the feedback. I have a skoolie and plan to put a toad on back.

Goosenecks!!!!!!!!!!!

Goosenecks is so amazing. I also love the Moki Dugway road just north of there and of course Natural Bridges, all of which are pretty close by!

Yeah Utah has some of the best parks anywhere. Must just be mor-money for funding…

Thank you! That means a lot to me. I have a wide range of interest within geography so you'll never quite know what's next. I'll try to keep it interesting.

Must be close to Sierra Mountain

@@GeographyKing There's probably a plethora of "aptly" named places that could make a fun vid.

Accurate statement

Thank you!
