Brian Head Peak, Utah

Part 2 of our Lava Flat Camping experience took us on an expected "hiking" trip to Brian Head Peak. And by "hiking" I mean driving. :D We had no idea this existed until we drove past this road on the way to Brian Head Ski Resort (see previous video "Lava Flat & Brian Head"). So on the way back we had to check it out. Amazing you can all the way to the peak! Even more amazing the views that await you!

I'd love to do some hiking in the US someday 👍

There are so many places here to enjoy amazing hikes. But if you plan on doing any hiking around California, Nevada, or Arizona stay away from the summer months. Spring and fall have better temperatures for hiking.

What do you use to do your voiceovers? Their very clean sounding.

[@NixAdventrex]

Hi! Thanks for the compliment on the voice over. I use a Rode NT1-A Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone with a pop screen and a PreSonus AudioBox USB mixer. I've had it for quite a few years and I love it. The sound is warm and as you said clean.

What a ripoff. Grass at 11000 ft... Dont bother. 3100 ft Mt. Monadnock in New Hampshire has many more quality features and the views from Monadnock are much more rewarding.

I don't think my video does the views justice. I would not call this a rip-off at all. It's a thrilling drive to a summit over 11,000 feet - usually you have to hike to places that high. And the drive is on a dirt road with JUST enough passing space for another car (thus the "thrilling" remark). You can see into Utah, Arizona and Nevada from up there. Plus you have views of the beautiful Cedar Breaks monument. Watching this from a screen, it might be easy to call it a "rip-off" - I guess one could say that about anything watching it from a phone, computer or TV screen - but once you're there, in nature, it is awe-inspiring and overwhelming beautiful. I would and will definitely go back. There are so many fascinating things about Brian Head Peak and the surrounding area, especially that it is located on the Markagunt Plateau - a fairly recent volcanic area of activity, that presents you with landscapes of lava rock beds / lava flows / lava tubes similar to the Hawaiian Islands.
