12,000 YEARS of HUMAN HISTORY!

Dramatically chiseled red sandstone, twisting canyons, and tree-clad mountains punctuate desolate stretches of the Mojave Desert, making the 300,000 acres of Nevada's Gold Butte National Monument, a truly unique place.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! This is a fantastic place. I'd highly recommend visiting there. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike

Another great video, beautiful editing. We love hiking with you folks, many many thanks.

[@AbouttheJourney]

Thanks! I'm glad you joined us for another adventure. I've been putting more effort into the editing process and I'm glad people are noticing. Our public lands are spectacular and I want to present these places in as beautiful of a light as I can. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike

I'm always impressed with the lack of trees. No hammock hanging there. Lol. It's still a very interesting place.

[@AbouttheJourney]

It looks barren at times, but you also have spectacular views in all directions. You might be able to find a couple Joshua Trees with the right spacing for a hammock, and if you visit Virgin Peak, there are plenty of trees up there. Thanks for watching! ~ Mike

Oh man, how did I miss subbing to your channel?! You’ve been supporting me for a while I feel like I am behind haha. Your video is absolutely stunning! What an amazingly beautiful place and campsite! And your video and editing is so amazing! I’m literally in awe. Well done and you definitely and finally got a sub from me.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Gold Butte is spectacular and I'd highly recommend spending some time there. It's best in the winter tho... I've always loved good cinematography paired with music, so I've been trying to channel more of that into my videos. I recently conceeded that I can't produce the kind of music I needed to have in these videos, so I started utilizing KZbin's music library for creators and I subscribed to Epidemic Sound, so between the two, I've been able to use the music to help glue it all together. I've also been working with Premier Pro for a few years now and that's helped immensely. Thanks for watching and subscribing! ~ Mike

Hey, Ervin! It's really beautiful. When you make it to the states next time, you should spend some time there. It's spectacular! Thanks for watching! ~ Mike
