This new New Mexico resident thanks you for this education provided! Time to plans some great road trips!

What time of year would you recommend for new mexico and Guadalupe

Thanks!

Absolutely the best glacier video by far. Thanks for sharing your experiences. My wife and I are headed there in late June from Wisconsin and this video has made are itinerary so much easier

I've been to almost all of the sites you included here. The American Southwest is, in my opinion, far more impressive than NYC or LA. Good job.

In the summer of 2013, I rode my bike from Orlando to Northern California. The only time I ran out of water was in Utah. I was very lucky each time I was saved by passing motorists who gave me food and water. Thanks for mentioning doing this! It was the hardest thing I ever did, and I wouldn't have made it without meeting some great people along the way.

Your videos are very informative and thorough. New subscriber here. 😊

Bring lots of blocking for the chisos campground....site are not even close to level

Copperlite

Thanks! I hope to visit Moab area soon, really like your video and tips.

COPPERLITE

Wow, that is a long, beautiful piss of the bridge.

300 Trips <---- Still loved seeing your video and story telling!!

Thank you Steve , i'm thinking crossing the pond this year ;) about the vehicle reservation if you go at 5am you can go without reservation ? i will go in the park at St. Mary

Most important….. you do need a park pass if you take a red bus tour nothings changed there. You mentioned here you don’t need a park pass they’re included in the red bus tour…The tours originate from various pickup locations on the west and east side of Glacier National Park. Be sure to bring your Park Pass or park entrance receipt on the tour. There are no physical tickets for the tour so please check in at the Front Desk or Concierge Desk at the property at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled tour time to ensure on-time departure. Tour duration and return times are approximate and may vary slightly. Open and closing dates are also subject to change.

Hey Steve it’s the Rocky Mountain goats that are the symbol of the park not the big horns. Hope to see in the park next summer! I’ll be driving the Old Reds out of the West side.

Finally a video that covers a variety of in depth info, even including weather and geographical info. Well edited and beautiful photography. Love your work! New subscriber!

I have never been here, this seems amazing. It's going on the short list! Thanks for the video! Just a couple comments, from the comfort of navigating via Google Earth/Street View. ;) The map and verbal description (at 0:59) are confusing. ("...past the Canyonlands Entrance...") The Entrance/Visitors Center on the map is for Dead Horse Point State Park. From Google Maps, it looks like to get to Islands in the Sky Visitors Center, you take 313 but then continue straight on Grand View Point Rd (what you have labeled as "Canyonlands Road"), rather than turning left and continuing on 313 into Dead Horse Point State Park (see the map). (The turnoff for the Shafer Trail is at: 38.471495, -109.811501) Musselman Arch is about 3.5 miles (roughly) from the Potash Rd turnoff, looks like you turned around here: 38.454833736011224, -109.77414214100708. You had about 2 miles to go to Mussleman Arch (38.436324698360814, -109.77052037745432). These were nits/FYIs, but I'm really impressed with the area and the video. Maybe we'll try this in 2026. Thanks!

Great video, I did this trip in reverse late October 2024 in a stock 2022 AWD high top transit van no problem. Yes potash road is rougher and rockier than the parks Schaeffer trail.

Thank you for great videos. They are so informative! Glacier looks stunning! What camera do you film with?

I love the video's you make. Beautiful scenery and storytelling.

Been to all of them except the Shafer Trail and we have done the northern part the Notam trail. You did leave the best places off this list tho Yosemite and Yellowstone. We have been to Glacier multiple times and it seems like weather or road closures always get us when we are there.

Nothing expresses freedom more than a park ranger with face diper on !

Excellent use of your drone footage!

I love your videos! If you dont mind, what car are you driving and what camera you use to record?

Excellent😃

Beautiful pictures

Glacial is my favorite as well. I stayed there 3 months in 2010 as a summer intern in St Mary Resort. I'm sure I will do that again after retirement lol

My wife and I, along with our 2 daughters, own a condo in Oregon but we all agree our true home is in our Prius named Wonder" or Wanda traveling the highways and backroads of the west seeing many of the treasures you have highlighted in this video. Thanks to you and your videos we have experienced the beauty of Glacier (my @1) and much of Utah and Arizona. We are grateful for you and your work. While I say Thank You please know these two tiny words do not capture the true weight of my gratitude. Much love to you <3

How did all the dinosaurs out west get buried so quickly as to avoid the predation that we see today where the bones get dragged off by animals. There's thousands of intact skeletons all over the earth but that shouldn't be the case if we're talking millions of years to bury them? But a massive flood? Now that could easily account for so much of what we see all over the world. Like great salt flats at high altitudes on every continent. But a giant flood is uncomfortable because it makes us think about sin and the Bible and of course we just can't have that now can we.😁

The Mokie Dugway views are amazing and they look just like the views at Mt St Helens which were created in a day, not millions of years.👍😎

Good video with some spectacular and beautiful photography, but some of the information needs subtle correcting. First, the Rio Grande Rift denotes a spreading of the earth's crust and a sinking action rather than a lifting motion. The lake in which the gypsum was deposited didn't come from a much earlier sea level inland sea but from a lake formed in recent geologic history at the same elevation as it is now. The Tularosa Basin, in which the sands sit, is a Gräben Basin which fell between the eastern and western mountain uplift that parallel the basin. The gypsum came from the San Andres Mountains to the west, where you can indeed see the layers of whitish gypsum that was deposited in Lake Lucero and eventually dried, crystallized, and blew as gypsum sand (still doing so). The eastern mountains, the Sacramentos, have horizontal layering but theirs is limestone and not gypsum.I am not aware of an "Area 19" in New Mexico, but there is a notorious one in Nevada. But the vast majority of this documentary travelogue is very informative.

I made this trip when I 40 got shut down in November by accident cutting across to I 10 it was great just found this video taken my wife a car where she got stationed I was blown away

I lived in LosAlamos for a couple years. It was an amazing area to explore.

It's a shame they made a money making racket taking away our freedoms. Those parks were set aside for all citizens to enjoy. $225 fee to film is ridiculous because everyone carries smart phones and do live videos. All the restrictions and rules ruins and destroys the fun. Everyone needs to take a stand and fight back and protest for their rights, freedoms and liberties.

I drove alone to Glacier Nat'l Park (west side) in August 2020 and entered everyday for a week, and stayed in the area for about a month Van-Camping.

Now it is completely legal (as it always was) to film in parks. The dirt bags from these parks have been SLAPPED DOWN as the baby tyrants they try to be! LOL!

Incredible and informing videos, been a subscriber for a while now. Was wondering if you have made a downloadable google maps of any of your amazing videos?

Wow!

thanks, great info

The most recent evidence evaluation on the 23K year old human footprints is skeptical at best; much more scientific proof is required to make a determination on that date! The Geo-archaeology work continues at White Sands as of December of 2024. I’m from and live in NM my great grandfather Philiipe Jacobi ( Jacoby) whom immigrated from Bavaria/ Austria to the USA in the early 1800s, joined the Army and was stationed at Fort Union around the time of the Civil War and settled in Las Vegas, NM after being discharged.

Suv? I did it in my VW wagen .

In the future pehaps academians will be wise enough to ask the Denah and other tribal elders their opinion.

Excellent video. I've been to Moab about 10 times to ride dirt bikes. Some of those trails will sort the men from the boys very quickly!

It's always been against the law to video and post on social because it's an antiquated law enacted well before the internet was even a vague idea. Back then the reasons were valid but nobody realized technology would change like it did. It also isn't just for national parks but covers all federal lands. Fortunately the Explore Act was recently passed through congress and once signed by the president changes the law with all of this. Look up Explore Act for more info on it.

Thank you for this informative video! Headed this way next month. Great info!!!

im planning on a national park trip stay in moab in summer 2025 with my wife and 8 and 5 yr old and i appreicate all your videos!! thank you!

Mogollon is a Spanish word, not pronounced the way you mistakenly did. Remember that two lls in Spanish are "y" Thus, the correct pronunciation phonetically is mug-y-own'

So if you come in through east entrance you don't need a reservation. Do u need a park pass?

SUCKS THAT AMERICANS ARE CROWDED OUT OF OUR OWN NATIONAL PARKS BY FOREIGNERS IN THE NAME OF MONEY. I USED TO GO TO MOAB IN THE 70s AND 80s, GET A MOTEL RIGHT IN TOWN FOR $18 AND CHECK OUT THE PARK. IN 94 I WENT BACK TO SPEND A WEEK. THE MOM AND POP MOTELS WERE ALL TORE DOWN AND REPLACED BY THE BIG MONEY CHAINS. WHEN I WENT TO THE PARK { OCTOBER { I COULD BARELY GET IN THE VISITOR CENTER AND ABOUT 75% OF THE PEOPLE WERE SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGES. ILEFT MOAB NEVER TO RETURN. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF OUR PARKS ARE THE SAME. THE BIG MONEY PROMOTES OUR PARKS OVERSEAS. THEY GET RICH AND US AMERICANS ARE SOL. IM GLAD I GOT TO SEE MOST OUR PARKS BEFORE ALL THIS STARTED.
