Breathtaking (Marble Canyon to Kanab ) Scenic Journey Colorado River

[@b2dary890]

I'm still fighting my way back from health issues, but one day, I'll be able to travel this beautiful American scenery again. This is what life is all about!

[@junwu8436]

Hope you're doing ok! Take care.

[@IR_POLICE]

Hope your doing fine man.

[@rcwbud52]

I was bedridden for 15 weeks with a Staph infection. Your videos were part of my rehab. I watched them all, some twice. Thank you for the time and effort. Really incredible film and editing.

[@lloydbaker6988]

YAY, Marble Canyon, Thanks, for taking us along ,RVerTV ,Russ 👍

[@rvertv]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@darrynkushman1]

Your videos to me are like food videos !! They get my hunger for traveling growling and rumbling . Thank You for your videos and relaxing demeanor , it really helps me mentally .

[@Az_VanGo]

So glad you made Lee’s Ferry! Great little camp ground there.

[@sandymajors9771]

You're not by yourself, we're with you. Love your videos.

[@actionglass1802]

Yup, we’re all in here together, tell the kids in the back they better sit down….

[@melodyhart1331]

OUR WEEKEND IS NOT COMPLEATE WITH OUT YOUR VIDEOS !

[@alexj9111]

Your videos have taken me to places I would never get the opportunity to explore. Thanks, they are so relaxing.

[@juliebradford2999]

Thanks for taking me along!! THANKS for Sharing!!

[@rvertv]

[@Justom001]

[@Cojiii1959]

More Cow bell 🔔! 🤩

[@robertnelson7367]

Nice trip be sure to see the wave near Marble Canyon

[@mikesaunders4775]

A fantastic film of some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. Arizona is almost another planet .Look forward to your journey through the equally otherworldly Utah .

[@jasons_tx_adventures]

Some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Well done Russ!!!👍👍

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@ceetee2021]

Marble Canyon is one of my favorite places to travel. The Lees Ferry Campground above the Colorado River is a great place to stay if you dry camp. It's 1st come 1st served, no reservations. That "bucket" thing is a USGS Cable way. You get it the cart with your stream monitoring equipment to take a flow measurement in CFS; and possibly water samples for sediment and/or bed-load etc. Fun stuff! ✌☮

[@RandiG63]

Wow that sun coming up was spectacular 😍 Actually the entire ride/video was amazing ! I think 25 days on the river would be the oar boats. 🤠👍 Love this ride today! Thanks Russ !

[@vernongoates4119]

Thanks for the ride Russ! So many things to see. I live near Prescott and this is a favorite getaway route for us. Safe travels. Looking forward to your Route 66 “Get Your Kicks” trip. 🤠👍🏻

[@kishaanmannie]

Russ I really enjoy this episode.

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

WOW RUSS! Where do I even start? First, your cameras shot such great video! Clear, precise, beautiful images! Well done! WOW! Everyone knows to get the best images and colors, depends on the sunlight hitting the rocks at the right time and angle. Usually early morning/early evening. Northern Arizona/Southern Utah has landscapes like no other place on earth! I'm not kidding! The Vermillion Cliffs, and that whole area? Are you kidding me? Incredible!!! I am hoping one day you can make it to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It is kind of a out of the way place that would be worth the trip for the spectacular scenery, for sure! Access is kind of limited, so you have to time your visit to when the roads are open. My understanding is, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Well done, my Friend! I can't wait for the next adventure!

[@georgearchambault6185]

Yet another great tour of the west, I love your travels and commenting. Thanks Russ....

[@joemiles6917]

Russ I enjoy your humor. Just remember even though it may not seem like it, you have many viewers riding along with you. Lol

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@mikev173]

as a long time viewer love your travels and scenery but lately it seems out of focus sometimes thanks again !!

[@imagseer]

Wow! Another fantastic video Russ. 25 days on a raft ... not for me either 🙂

[@martinforrester8249]

Oohh, you've taken me back many years watching this story. I've travelled extensively through the Southwest. I've camped at Lee's Ferry campsite four times, long before you had to pay to enter this area. On my first trip in 1992, there were many more hoodoo's standing than now. The area has been developed considerably also. There was no visitor centre or any other facilities, what a transformation ! The sky at night is something to behold,with such a dark sky, with a full moon, I used to hike at night. Now eighty yrs old, your video as awakened my passion for your wonderful country. Oldtimer Englishman reliving past adventures. Ps, always wanted to " run the river" all 14 days to the Grand Wash at Pierce Ferry, but the cost was always prohibitive.

[@alanlough638]

Awesome, Russ! Too cool for school! I wish you safe travels. Talk soon, Alan. 👍👍👍👍

[@garypeacock5919]

Thanks for this video Russ, we're vacationing in September from Scotland, starting in Sedona, then the Grand Canyon and up to an Airbnb in Kanab as a base for Bryce and Zion. We intended to travel route 89 through Page, but after watching this, think we'll take 89a instead 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇲

[@stevemcbride2685]

The condor is actually cooling off.

[@peterselten500]

Hi russ fantastic to see all the sites thanks alot for the great tour . Cheers mate🇦🇺

[@thegreatone2513]

Awesome Russ. Hello from the Netherlands

[@lindahoudek9855]

I give a huge "Like" to the side camera. Beautiful country your traveling thru and keep on finding those scenic drives. Thank you Russ!

[@ensunnlor7059]

absolutely beautiful. I will plan to drive it all. Thanks

[@WEHenry]

Wowzzzzy that is just a beautiful part of the country to me, thanks mr. Russ👍✌

[@pattyvalinote4612]

What a beautiful ride! Just lovely! Arizona is so amazingly different in every corner of the state!

[@bonnie76017]

I really enjoy your videos. I especially loved this one! Several years ago, I took my first solo camping trip. I spent about a week exploring the very places where you were. I took a raft ride from the base of Glen Canyon dam to Lees Ferry. What a great trip that was! After that, I went on a trail ride through Red Canyon. I took that same route through Kanab and Jacob Lake to Bryce Canyon and Zion. Thanks for reminding me of that great trip.

[@Bacon-3516]

Welcome to Kanab! Saying hello!

[@rvertv]

Thank you! 😃

[@makingmemorieswithmichigan1368]

Camped at Marble Canyon in 19 and pretty sure I saw a Condor! Beautiful area

[@MerleGMott]

Thank You so MUCH! Another great trip, I'll never forget my trip through that area! I think it is the most beautiful part of the country. Then Utah is all about crazy beautiful scenic places.

[@naplesmpietsch]

Russ, this is my second video--the first was burros in Oatlans, Az. I enjoy your music soundtracks as well as silence and your occasional info or insights. Thank you for 'taking me along' on your roadtrips! A Texas gal

[@rvertv]

Thank You !!

[@margopack6343]

Look at that beautiful sky!!

[@alistermcintyre7347]

Another great adventure with the one and only one man and his van himself none other than russ.. Another great video👌

[@morganhale3434]

Wow this is amazing. This is a part of Arizona I never knew existed and it is so beautiful. When I was a kid my family lived in Yuma and we used to travel to west Texas to visit relatives and back my times, so I've travelled through southern Arizona, and I have travelled from Denver through New Mexico to Flagstaff and then Phoenix, back to Flagstaff and then to Las Vegas. Other than the north rim of the Grand Canyon I never thought there was much more to see in northern Arizona. This is a great adventure and thank you for taking us along for the ride.

[@frankgerlach5059]

An osprey is a bird of prey, that bird, the Condor you showed is a scavenger that eats dead animals. Osprey takes animals live, mostly and including a lot of fish. Enjoying your shows, and thanks for sharing. Next time you're Idaho, be sure and stop in to the Birds Of Prey a site that explains all the different types of birds.

[@tinkering123]

Love Lake Powell and that whole area from Moab to Zion to Grand Canyon. Climbed many of those red hills as a kid. Thanks for the memories.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Very cool trip Russ! Lees Ferry was very cool especially those suspended rocks! I’d already seen the cave! Didn’t mind seeing it again! Thank you for letting me see all that you see!❤️😀🚙

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@ejtappan1802]

The southwest is my favorite scenic area in the whole country! I just found your channel but I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for sharing your travels with us!

[@mccallfineart7589]

Very good video. Love your attitude and voice overs. Keep at it!

[@rvertv]

Thanks so much!

[@jenniferlongociu3318]

Love the new passenger side camera. Great idea! Love the scenic mountain videos and your down to earth personality. Thanks so much for taking me places I could never go!

[@leonardvernon7176]

Nice Russ! Hope to get there soon! Have fun!

[@missgoodie222ify]

[@VincenzoDeMarco-k3w]

Cripes, I had to get a new phone, and in doing so I lost 75% of my subscriptions and You Russ were one of them. Bummer. Now I will be catching up with all my lost episodes. Thanks for sharing all your groovy vids.

[@caseycarr1373]

Man, that is beautiful vidiograpy! Thank you!!

[@litocruz9197]

I accidentally discovered your vlogs and I love your scenic roads. Now I don’t need to rent “Cruise America” camper. Keep up the good work!

[@TheFunkybert]

Did the early part of 89a up the pass at night.. just as beautiful under a full moon 🌕!

[@Cojiii1959]

Thanks for taking us along Russ! Always enjoy your peaceful videos. Also makes us appreciate the gift of sight and humanity in general. Great Stuff!🤩🇺🇸

[@lesliegriffith9830]

Have you ever been on Utah highway 128 from Cisco off I70 to Moab? That is THE most beautiful and fantastic scenic drive I have ever seen. Check it out. Lots of that gorgeous red rock canyon.

[@jesscarey7666]

Very cool, Russ! What a great drive!!

[@junwu8436]

Beautiful colors!!

[@fabricegrard1001]

Quel magnifique endroit, merci Russ

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

I cannot wait to go back and do this trip again...I did basically this same trip in 2020, it was summer so I really couldn't enjoy everything the way I will again...I'm hoping to go this fall and do a "re-run" for my channel! lol

[@rvertv]

You should!

[@yuvondaseal6736]

Russ , as I was watching The Marble Canyon to Kanab, it brought to mind a video I watched a couple of weeks ago of a speaker by the name ofJeanne Robertson. It is one if the FUNNIEST VIDEO'S I HAVE EVER SEEN !!! You have to watch it !! Please !!! It is sooo funny !! It is about Rafting on the Colorado River through the Grand Cayon for 8 days....🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kimpeters4187]

I heard you say something about Marble Canyon thru the Grand Canyon river trips taking 30 days. Back in the mid 70's it took a week. There were trips where you could exit the river before Lake Mead and be flown back to Vegas. The exit from the river was either by Burrow or Helicopter to a pair of landing strips on the north side of the canyon. Some people were flown into Marble Canyon to start the trip, then returned to Vegas and there cars. That river trip is amazing, glad I did it when I was much younger than I am today.

[@suzy9342]

This is a beautiful drive 😎

[@rvertv]

Yes it was!

[@gthornton9576]

Russ, great trip. I actually watched both twice. Nothing like the western USA! Keep em coming.

[@milton9639]

I waited a long time for the videos in Utah, thank you

[@darlinpretty9657]

@7:36…Beautiful Shot 📷 ❤

[@RichardGrounds]

My mom was born in Kanab and my dad was born in Kingman . They met when my dad worked for the state of AZ as a surveyor when they were surveying the AZ Strip. They met in the Trails End Cafe in Kanab where my mom worked. We spent a week or so in Kanab every summer visiting family on my moms side. I remember going to Moqui Cave as a kid when they had the big dinosaur standing over the entrance as shown in the picture in this video. Thanks for your videos Russ. Our business keeps us pretty tied down here in Phoenix and love watching your videos of my hometown (Kingman) and all of your travels in the state. My parents spent last week in Kanab for a mini family get together. Thanks again for your videos. Jealous of all your travels. Maybe someday I can do it myself.

[@RichardGrounds]

PS. Moqui Cave is pronounced - Mo-Key. 😉

[@lindabradford9591]

My kids lived in Kingman along with several in-laws. It's a cute little town.

[@chrismcgill]

this was one of your best, Russ! those canyon views and Vermilion views. woah. love it.

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@martinbahena3648]

Love all your videos, the views are spectacular. You are so blessed to be able to do this. Thank you so much and keep RVen..

[@MarkZajac-oh5ci]

Really appreciate these videos ! I can't wait about your upcoming travel series.

[@JohnTCAUSA7450]

The colors in those rocks are breathtaking! It is amazing like the Grand Canyon all in one state! Your video is so clear like ur windshield! Blessings Russ 😅

[@jimp.7286]

You were moving along on the highway decent at a decent clip and the vermilion cliffs in the distance were barely moving, lol. They were far away and big! The scale of things out there is something everyone should see at least one in their lifetime! Another good one. Cheers. 👍

[@hermosasons1]

Very nice.

[@kenoday7562]

1:51:18 We stayed at the Comfort Inn. Right up the road is the Little Hollywood Museum. They have the little shack used filming The Outlaw Josey Wales. Lots of other neat stuff. All along the main road there are plaques honoring different stars from movies filmed in town. Just outside of town going back toward Page is a dirt road that leads up to an old set where Gunsmoke was filmed. The landowner allowed the buildings to rot away, now they're all just piles of wood. The movie fort near town burned down and was never rebuilt. They've missed out on a lot of historic sites people would pay to see.

[@lisareynolds5973]

Loved loved this video. Definitely would love to visit this area.

[@wmlangton]

Great video and scenery Russ! I have stayed at the Lee's Ferry campground twice in the last 3 years. Really nice spot! Our Class A coach has a big solar system, 3000w whole house hybrid inverter system and 600ah of lithium batteries so boondocking is no sweat for us! I was last there a year ago when my wife took a 12 day rafting trip down the river with a bunch of friends. She launched on May 17th and they ended their journey at Whitmore Wash, some 188 miles downstream. They exited the canyon via helicopter to the Bar 10 Ranch north of the canyon where they transfer to a fixed wing aircraft for the flight back to the airport at Marble Canyon. What an incredible journey she had. Meanwhile, the dog and I explored Lees Ferry, Marble Canyon and the surrounding areas. Glad you got to see one of the Condors! The new bridge is a favorite hangout for them. On my last walk across the ol bridge, there were 5 roosting on the new bridge! Such a sight to see! After I left Lees Ferry, I too went to the new campground at Antelope Point. Loved it there! Lot's of good food, breweries and attractions in Page! Keep up the good work!

[@StephenSmith-z6r]

I visited Lee’s Ferry 32 years ago when I rafted down the Colorado River. Love this video.

[@judystreich7333]

Was there years ago, was beautiful then and not much has changed by the looks of it. Stopped at Lee’s Ferry, North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Loved it.

[@coolwindinmyhair...5094]

Traveling to beautiful and interesting places through your videos. I live in Phoenix and have traveled some of Arizona. It's truly spectacular scenery. Love your RV! Thank you!

[@Go4Corvette]

Looks like a great place to build an adobe cabin into the side of the mountain where no one would ever know you are there. 😁 Free camping, YAY

[@rebeccalane9400]

Thank you

[@lindabradford9591]

I wish i could drive through the mountains, but no guardrails make me a nervous wreck. I'm so glad Russ offers to do the driving, lol.

[@GraceCook-g1l]

Amazing the Condor is making a huge comeback. Thought it was a turkey vulture at first.

[@suejones2129]

Congratulations! You’re my feral heroes!

[@PapaBear143]

Those big rafts you saw at Lee’s Ferry, that company is out of Flagstaff. The trip on those J-rigs is 8 days to that Peach Springs takeout you mentioned, or 10 days to Lake Mead.

[@greghettig1504]

Hi Russ, been watching you from the days with your beloved dog😢, love AZ and what you show us. How many miles do you have on your van now. Thanks for the great videos

[@rvertv]

115K miles on the van

[@juliogonzales5441]

WHERE YOU GO WE GO THANKS RUSS 😊

[@Go4Corvette]

Great adventure, love it, Russ. I would hate that job being away from my family when they were young for up to 25 days, not for me.

[@rickcopenhaver4691]

Love your creativity

[@billmcconnell1837]

And all the times I’ve gone through here I’ve not gone to Lee’s Ferry area. I will though it’s wonderful . Thanks.

[@billmcconnell1837]

At the 1:22:13 mark was where I stopped the first time and walked up to that edge and saw a woman from NC with her husband and kids doing cheers from her high school days. Until her kids said “Mom,Mom there’s somebody here.” lol she was embarrassed but laughed about it. Meeting new people on the road is fun as well as the scenery.

[@dmbrew54]

When you get to the 1:31:36 mark, you mention the old hotels in Kanab. The white building is Parry Lodge. It's interesting to go in the lobby and look at the old pictures of many of the movie stars that stayed there back in the day. They say the heated pool was commissioned by John Wayne.

[@HenzFarmTastic]

Thats great
