You are so right, it is a magical place. I first visited in 1992, camping in Moab... when Moab was a lovely, unspoilt little outback adventure town. Again in 1994, hiking and camping throughout Canyonlands. Again in 2002, when I drove down the Shafer trail and spent 2 days driving and camping the White Rim Trail, really special place too ! Those snow topped mountains are the La Sals, just East of Moab. Loved your vid guys, took an old timer Englishman through lots of memories of my visits, so thankyou.

Winds were fierce midday when I was on Whale Rock and the Upheaval Dome Overlook. I'm seriously considering moving to the Salt Lake area to be closer to these sites and other western National Parks. Thanks for the videos and I'm looking forward to your Arches and Needles adventures. Lots of great camping sites around there.

Such a shame about the cloud but your shots of the La Sal mountains through it with the snow on top were beautiful! Your map at 7:18 🤣🤣 But that's a good hike, a good old exploration!! As you say, the view where you turned around was so cool! The green river overlook gets me every time, so stunning! Can't believe you guys drove in and out of the park in 1 day. We found the drive between Moab and the Park to feel like it took forever! I loved this video so much, brought back such lovely memories from 2019! I am insanely Excited for Arches!!! 😁😁😁

Even with the clouds and cold, the sunrise was worth it! Love that softer light in the mornings and it helped us beat the crowds at other spots! Our map looked like it was drunk hiking hahaha, it was so messed up looking! I think the Green River overlook was my favorite! Love the mix of canyons and river there! And that drive is definitely not the shortest haha, but I think after some of the long rough drives we had elsewhere, we were just thankful for paved roads!

We cannot imagine Moab in the summer. We got hot in upper 80s and full sunshine there, so we imagine the heat was brutal! Were the crowds bad too?
@OutdoorMS 3 жыл бұрын
No.. it was really less crowded.. Our most horrible experience was horseshow bend at 110°F in august'18. We are from the hot part of India where 105 is such a common thing; but the heat on desert was really really horrible

Oh gosh, that does not sound fun! The dry air has been really hard on my nose and throat, so adding in heat would only make it worse.

For movie buffs; Thelma and Louise Point (Fossil Point), is where they went off the canyon ledge (not the Grand Canyon as suggested ion the film). The point can be seen from the main (last) overlook at Dead Horse State Park. Or, you can take the Shafer Trail (near Island in the Sky at Canyonlands) down in the canyon for a "selfie". Traveling the Shafer Trail; a passenger car can make it down to the point; but a higher clearance vehicle will be necessary if you plan to ride all the way to the potash facility at the bottom (where it meets up with the road that goes to the Corona Arch lot, and back to Moab). Personally; I've seen passenger vehicles ride on down; but I wouldn't risk my sedan (my Rav4 and 4Runner have worked fine).

Thank you for this. I was tempted to try it in a rental car next month, but maybe I'll rent something with a little more ground clearance.

Next time you are there, rent a jeep in town and go down the Shafer Trail and out Potash Road. Easy drive, LOTS of stunning views, and you will find out how insignificant you are when you look up and see how large the rock formations are, and you aren't even down at the river.

"Here we are at M-M-M-Monument Arch, s-s-so freak-k-king c-c-cold..." That last shot....Kathryn Scissorhands.... Canyonlands is amazing. When we go to Moab, we want to do Arches / Canyonlands then swing down to Monument Valley (but we'll wait until Navajo Nation is open). I can't quite understand why Arches gets four times the visitors as Canyonlands. Sure, in Arches you're visiting the Utah license plate, but all you need do is cross the highway and BAM! you're in another awesome national park (with a quick State Park side trip to see where Thelma and Louise tried to fly a car; can you glimpse the wreckage from above, or....?)

It is such a great park! We really enjoyed the shorter hikes here, it was a nice break! Arches is a madhouse (well, all of Moab is to be fair) and while we loved it, we loved Canyonlands (and Dead Horse Point) too!

Love it! So many views they all start to blend together...lol. My wife and I took jus our 10 year old to Moab 2 years ago this month so this is bringing back great memories. We didn't get to Canyonlands but we did go to Dead Horse State Park and mountain biked along the canyon there. Looks very similar.

Awesome video of the Canyonlands! We wanted to make it to Mesa Arch for sunrise and just couldn't get to it (we did Dead Horse and it was pretty amazing). I wanted to die in Canyonlands so that my ghost could haunt it forever. I just loved it that much. The Upheaval Dome hike was so dope, and all those overlooks were just insane with the vast canyon views. We ended up renting a Jeep and going down the Shafer Canyon switchbacks and doing a section of the White Rim Road because, like, how do you see something like that and NOT go down it?

Top notch (as always)! That was a magical day at Canyonlands. It’s funny, my memory of this park is just meh. However, the video you shot was anything but meh. Granted I visited here when I was 12 or 13. Young and dumb, I suppose. The landscapes you showcased were drop dead gorgeous and your composition of shots was excellent. Would Dead Horse Point SP be a good substitute if you are short on time and still want a similar experience? That pizza looked amazing. I am bookmarking that for future reference.
