I spent 14 days driving down from my hometown of British Columbia, Canada to visit the vast dessert landscapes of Utah. My mind was blown to say the least. I highly recommend a solo trip to the dessert in the winter.

I think it would be so cool if you put a mini GoPro on Kyra for one of these adventures to see what he finds when he goes exploring! Love these videos, really inspiring :)

[@BentbrooksRambles]

At a certain age, with a certain amount of freedom, and a certain amount of adventurous spirit--all of which you possess--such an experience opens one's eyes to the unimagined wonders of the world beyond one's realm of experience. It is intoxicating, transformational, addicting, overwhelming, inexpressible. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey of wonder.

[@user-to1to7ck8v]

Very well put 👏 👌 👍

[@TruckHouseLife]

Such a great comment, thank you:) and so true

[@prospector7409]

Fellow Canadian (Ont.) here. Just came across your channel. I’m retired so I can go backcountry canoeing when I want but you and my daughter are kindred spirits. She keeps her camping gear in her vehicle so she can go camping at will with her dog. She also joins me on my canoe trips when her work allows. So great to see an articulate young lady producing these videos, living the dream and being a role model for others. Keep it up. 👍

[@PyrateRumRunner]

Loving the sheer joy of seeing someone gazing on those views for the first time.

[@ofthenearfuture]

Can't lie, I've cried at a few desert and canyon sunsets, there is just something so incredible about those landscapes and places.

[@ArashAbravesh]

I love how you explain things - you've got so much enthusiasm! Plus, your clips are fantastic - they're informative and totally brighten my day. Thank you so much!"

[@SalvagetoScenic]

Really told that boulder in the rock garden who’s boss. Thank you for showing me so many beautiful places! Such a fun trip.

[@Ziip47]

I literally did the same thing. I drove from Oregon. I have been exploring southern Utah and the four corners area for over a month now. Such an amazing and beautiful place. Arches, Canyonlands, La Sal mountains, Valley of the gods, Monument valley the list goes on and on. Mind blowing beauty.

[@fauge7]

Make sure to stop by the North rim of the Grand canyon. It's by far the best part of the whole park. Unvisited and beautiful

[@tittyskillet3413]

Agreed. I love the north rim, much better than the tourista south rim.

[@Gabsolutelygab]

I’m watching this on my TV, and my dog is absolutely engaged. I think she’s your new #1 fan.

[@mistersir3185]

just love how simple, original and so wholly peaceful your videos are

[@MadisonClysdalee]

🥹🥹

[@mistersir3185]

Oh lord! I can't believe you replied lol! Holy shit! Thank you! 🥹@@MadisonClysdalee

[@Step-n-Wolf]

Your enthusiasm is awesome. Glad you are enjoying our Southwest.

[@sienashepard9695]

I just found this channel, I did similar trip this January, you have inspired me to get back down there again, it's just so beautiful. You're amazing BTW, I am an instant fan

[@turkey4957]

Wow January is a cold unpleasant month in southern Utah! If you liked it then you’d really like it in March or April or October/November

[@devildog7602]

I love your infectious smile. Tres' Bien. Stay safe.

[@stephenchild2310]

Thank you for such a well presented video of your adventure. You’ve shown us how amazing that landscape is and your enthusiasm is infectious!

[@Wilderness-Will]

Southern Utah is one of the only places on Earth that can rival Arizona in terms of desert beauty. Those slot canyons you ventured through look fantastic!

[@Yogies_bogies06]

Big chungus

[@sebastian3004]

LOL Utah is better than Arizona

[@FabianPatscheider-zu7iq]

❤❤

[@Ziip47]

As beautiful as Sedona is it has become very crowded.

[@FabianPatscheider-zu7iq]

[@Sparker408]

That sunrise ☀️ was nothing short of majestic. The way the rivers ran between the canyons with the sun peaking over the vally.....I mean WOW 👌 nicely done Madison

[@UN_UrbanNomad66]

We really enjoyed your company on this epic journey you’ve shared with us. Blessings everyone 🌱

[@barythompson4781]

The smile on your face the entire time, priceless. Some of those areas are on my bucket list and that sunrise was one of the most amazing I’ve seen!

[@shanemilehi]

Awesome to see people reacting to Utah and the dessert for the first time. It’s amazing. Love seeing how stoked you are about nature.

[@Boyfromthecountry]

Your dog really loves you. He's such a handsome young man.

[@denburton]

I found your channel from watching Salvage to Scenic and it’s cool to see your perspective of the scenery and Jake’s perspective. Looked like a lot of fun!

[@tturner7786]

Utah has shocking beauty as you found out. First time i went to moab and bryce and zion i couldn't believe no on told me to go there sooner. Its mind melting. That sunrise you caught was epic. Glad you escaped the cold nasty winter into the warmer desert. Thanks for sharing your trip!

[@174jas4]

I love your adventurous spirit Madison. It's contagious!

[@Blue_Marble4.54B]

I love the west. Being from the east side of the states I don't get to see it that much, but really want to get back out there. For camping I've started sleeping in the bed of my Tacoma. I bought a cap and use a light weight tarp to keep rain water out, and use a mosquito net to keep the bugs out. I love your sense of adventure, and your confidence to go out and do these things on your own. Good for you!!

[@markpetersen6931]

Thanks for taking me along. Great video. Yes Utah is a beautiful place to do what you do. We all thank the Lord for living in such a great place. Good luck on your next adventure! can't wait to see it.

[@ir8maverickmichaeljavillon306]

Utah does change you, when I explored Utah, i work myself from Zion to Moab. It does changed the way i look in life.

[@cq7415]

Madison…..so wonderful to see you smiling and enjoying yourself. Southern Utah has so many great places to explore in the redrock country. I’m sure you will be back. Nice place to winter. Nice to see you got a truck and out of that Subaru. Wish I could travel with you, you are so sweet. Keep safe. Thanks for sharing.

[@barythompson4781]

Thanks! You’re videos are so real and down to earth.

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Thank you so much. Means a lot!

[@gaberella218]

Yay, you’re back! I really appreciate your videos. I’m also a mostly solo female hiker and I get a lot of flack for that. Your videos have inspired me to keep pushing myself into harder and harder things and to really utilize the weekends away from my 9-5 job exploring Colorado. Thanks for what you do!

[@MadisonClysdalee]

This means so much to me, thank you. Keep on exploring!! 🥰

[@leadersleverage]

You are a beautiful person who appreciates God's Beautiful creations. Your love for the mountains and outdoors and your smile are enlightening. Keep living and being you

[@Carljouannet]

Excellent job on this video, you did a great job capturing the beauty of that area! Of course as you said, cameras don't ever do it justice, it's a must see in person kinda thing.

[@kirkjohnson4644]

Wow! What an awesome adventure you are on. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and have fun!

[@F1fan007]

Wow, that was cool! I’ve never been interested in Utah until seeing your video. Your joy and enthusiasm are so refreshing and contagious!

[@jiin4]

Been watching Jake’s channel for a couple of weeks, so was just introduced to your videos today. Cool to see the trip from two perspectives.

[@bf2142rock]

Glad to see a woman take her safety seriously. Don’t ever lose that intuition. God bless and safe travels!

[@j946atFIVEFOUR88AA]

Southern Utah is full of so many amazing places. I did a 3 day backpacking trip down Buckskin Gulch this past November and it was absolutely stunning. I'd say it's even better than doing The Subway (Top Down) at Zion.

[@avancons1]

Your energy is just so vibrant and infectious that I wanna start hiking and travelling

[@charleshagman5025]

Glad you got some sunshine and beautiful landscapes

[@norahc.]

Glad to see you enjoying your truck. Many adventures await you and Kyro in it. Stay safe and enjoy.

[@sonofagun9856]

thanks for taking us on your adventure, you looked and sounded like you really enjoyed it 🥰🥰🥰

[@pme166]

You remind me of the fun my wife and I had in Utah as college students. We would go camping almost every weekend just to see the state. Very enjoyable and so quiet at times.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Love Moab, can't wait to get down there again from Alaska this fall, maybe cya on the road sometime!🔥

[@turkey4957]

Epic, this comment was lost in the weeds but I like both of your channels so this is cool to see other creators watch the same vids we as viewers do

[@davewestner]

I can understand your excitement with those places in UT. I had the exact same feelings at many of those same places. The most incredible looking places I've ever been. Appreciate the walk down memory lane. And yeah, the lack of people out there is fantastic.

[@bobdemichele1542]

Utah is something else. Hard to describe how different it is. Glad you had some company on your journey. It’s know place to have truck problems on those trails alone. Take care.

[@fynnjackson2298]

Thanks for the good vibes, smiles and beautiful scenary, Utah looks like its straight out of the moveis.

[@user-kw5gy3yr1w]

Really nice video! Beautiful wilderness and sunrises. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@bargalshmal]

The USA is wonderful country. It has so many different natural landscapes .

[@k7l3rworkman97]

This gal is incredible. What an adventure, I bet the doggo had tons of fun 🥰 I know I would ❤

[@bellyhungry]

Hi from Toronto, Canada. Happy new year. Thanks for sharing your trip. I appreciate your authenticity and sharing your vulnerability (even though you are tough as nail.) I am especially impressed by your positivity and overall vibe. Look forward to your future adventure. Keep 👣

[@isabellagodde4935]

Came across your channel for the first time today, and instantly subscribed! I love your content so much.

[@domhubbard2197]

Thanks for sharing your journey, amazing scenery. Safe travels

[@Evolvingdaily65]

Thank you Madison! Your videos are so wonderful and your attitude is everything

[@jimi3314]

Driving at night and waking up to amazing scenery is always the move. Epic looking roadtrip. Glad you got to see the southwest.

[@bravo2_0]

That landscape in Utah is breathtaking.

[@nesscrossley9002]

Oh how amazing!! 😮 loved it!! Love your channel 🇦🇺🦘

[@20yearsagotoday1]

Wow wow wow. You’re one lucky girl. Bucket list stuff right there.

[@betheackers]

I was so excited when I saw Salvage to Scenic's truck! I've been following him for a few weeks now and I was like, "I know that truck!!" Made me realise I had missed his video when he talks about this trip with you. Love watching your videos.

[@kassandra340]

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing your hiking/exploring adventures with Kyro. I’m currently working on training with my baby (dog) to be able to take him on adventures like these.

[@yunglivid]

Love how I just felt your smile thru the screen♥️

[@armandoramos1949]

I enjoyed watching your video. Watching you and Kiro run looks so much fun. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and have fun.

[@teo4450]

J’adore tes vidéos. Merci de partager tout ça avec nous !

[@michaelcampbell7377]

It's so great seeing the "wow" on people's faces when they experience America's treasures for the first time. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Kyro's reaction to the bumpy road *not amused* haha.

[@Lowik98]

Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures Madison! We don't get to experience nature like that in the Netherlands haha. Will be traveling to BC for the first time this summer to roadtrip from Vancouver to Banff & back. Could not be more excited! Can't bring my dog though sadly... Kyro seems like the best boy.

[@123bhar]

I had a trip to Utah that changed me too. Glad you got to experience.

[@timkern177]

Welcome to Utah! I have lived here most of my life and take advantage of the outdoor diversity that we have. You only touched the surface of what Utah has to offer. On a side note, I took my 1st trip to BC last summer and I plan to go back this summer again.

[@IamLaurenHil]

Your doggie is so precious 🥰

[@MadisonClysdalee]

I think so too :)

[@scarrydog4205]

What an amazing trip, you had some incredible views

[@jankokohler5983]

Brave, adventurous Lady! STAY SAFE....ALWAYS 😊

[@danbar32]

Wow, what a great video. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@montiraruba2831]

If you need a place to rest, regroup, and restock, you can stay at our house in Cedar City, Utah. My wife and I don't mind at all. You are welcome here. Welcome to Utah. That is why I like to live in Southern Utah. My backyard is beautiful as you can see.

[@brighteyedbirding]

Welcome to Utah! Cool to see your reactions to seeing Utah's coolest sights for the first time! I think some of us who live here forget how lucky we are haha. Myself included! Great video!

[@daviddarlingauthor]

welcome back! glad the adventures never stopped.

[@jeffkirpach4815]

Great vid - the majesty of Utah's landscape!

[@cwskas]

Thank you for such a fantastic video. There is so much to see in Utah and you captured a part of it very well.

[@tremblayguillaume]

Merci de nous emmener avec toi dans tes aventures, ça donne le goût!

[@bradleyhermes304]

That looked like an incredible trip. I never considered going to Moab except for the off-roading and mountain biking. Now I want to go there just to camp and hike and see the landscape. Great video!

[@irawhitlock1084]

Simply awesome. Keep up the great work.

[@user-to1to7ck8v]

That sunrire at (19:15) is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen!!! 😍 you are so lucky to have seen it in person, thx for sharing 😊❤

[@rdwoten]

One of your best yet!!! Loved it!

[@thewatersofdream]

Epic, I did a cross country road trip this past July and it fed my soul. I spent the night out on the salt flats there and the sunrise was so amazing. It was summer so it was very pleasant to walk in the night air under the moonlight. The salt was glowing. Your videos get me excited to go on more adventures

[@janakotrcova2790]

Madison,you are wonderful.You are fulfilling your dreams perfectly,the dog is a grateful companion and trips to the silence of rocks and picturesque nature are medicine for the soul.I am excited about this approach to life and I am a big fun of you.👍

[@toddstevenson8566]

Absolutely incredible stunning landscapes

[@omg_SallyKelly]

Epic Scenery...we too were gasping through the whole vlog. Stay safe. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@elizabethshwe1003]

I just found you channel and have been binge watching all youre videos! Keep up the good work!

[@chrisgreto]

I love that area of the US! Spent lots of time in all that red rock in and around Moab. Your level of excitement is so much fun to see! Im stoked you had a great experience. I missed seeing the adventurers of young Kyro as well! Hes really great! Glad youre back!

[@rorynesta7766]

never seen you so excited but omg thanks for taking us on your amazing journey!I have never seen any of those sites you went to online like ever!But poor kyro,that lil boy must have needed lotsa cuddles after all that offroading.

[@Theoldmaninthewoods]

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Greetings from North Carolina 😊

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

Same experience my first time in Moab. Pulled into a campsite right on the Colorado River late at night. No moon, so it was very dark. I had no idea I was in a canyon until I woke up the next morning. It was my first time seeing canyon walls like that. So amazing.

[@slib5656]

I absolutely love your videos! I used to keep all my camping gear in my car and go out whenever I could. I moved to Colorado recently and hope to get out more again like I used to. Your videos are informative and fun to watch! I caught a tummy bug/sickness from my niece and nephew today and have been stuck in bed... I had been having a hard time finding things to watch since I feel so sick... but then I found your videos, which are so beautiful, honest, peaceful, comforting, and calming! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this lovely content to share with all of us. Here's to safe and happy travels for you guys!

[@user-kn3bs1cg3v]

thank you for all u do,so your enjoyimg the greatest outdoors GOD CREATIONS my the roads be open and safe, for your family.

[@philiplaycock8944]

Wow ! Thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic content. Utah is most definitely a beautiful space with outstanding rock formations. You have boundless beauty and a great adventurous spirit which you share openly! Keep making the brilliant videos Maddison & Kyro! 😊x

[@lenbeaudry]

Such a great adventure. I personally keep my dog on a long leash 20ft. She can roam at will and I don't have to get terrified when I can't find her. Just love your commentary thanks for sharing this and all your thoughts 🥰

[@bikingal4283]

one of my fave YT'ers almost got pulled over the edge with her dog on leash... scared the crap out of her.. now her dog goes off leash... I'm sure you are careful... scary thought though

[@ivandas100]

Thank you for sharing . Good time and beautiful scenery .

[@wishihadahailee]

Hi Madison, just found your channel as have been following Jake. Love the way you articulate your journey. So now going to binge watch all your videos then wait patiently for the next one. Happy travels ❤
