Good quality video/audio.

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks you! 😊

[@carollyngillespie3860]

I love a good rain storm. It's beautiful and, somehow, relaxing.

[@CactusAtlas]

Totally agree! 😊

[@Angry_Toe]

Thank you Glenn and Amy for making this channel. You guys are the best. This is my family’s favorite channel. Please know your hard work is appreciated!

[@CactusAtlas]

Our pleasure! That's so awesome that your family watches too. Hi, family! 😄

Stunning beauty. Thank you Glenn.

[@CactusAtlas]

We are glad you enjoyed it! Thanks! 😊

Always!

[@timothylinn]

That drone footage was *EPIC*! Nicely done.

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks a ton! 😄

[@4Score747]

Wow! Such beautiful scenery in this video. Thanks for sharing! The rainstorm at 37:36 is awesome!

[@CactusAtlas]

The weather definitely has some surprises during this trip which makes for some scenic moments. 😄👍

[@mosestrace]

I really appreciate the clarity of your videos and the way you express your excitement.

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you! That is so meaningful to us. 😊

[@thomasandrews8033]

Your Joshua tree-Saguaro analogy was right on the money as far as I'm concerned! Glad I found this channel, you guys do excellent work! 😊

[@CactusAtlas]

Awesome! Thank you! Welcome aboard! 😊

[@terrymolenaar7059]

Like your videos. I love Az. As well the history of the lakes, Dams, and old towns.👍🏻

[@CactusAtlas]

Awesome! Glad you like them! 😄

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Old school motel 😎 dig the vintage signs 👍😀

[@CactusAtlas]

Yeah, that whole area has a nice vintage vibe!

[@HenryRobertDuncan]

Your channel has become a part of my routine.

[@CactusAtlas]

Wow, thanks! Happy to hear that! 😊

[@mickiofthemountains]

Really love your travel vibe! This is the first video I've seen of yours... How fun you are! 😁

[@CactusAtlas]

Yay! Thank you! Glenn & I are so happy you enjoyed it! 😄

[@Dany-ii5lu]

Great footage + great editing + great music selection = great video!!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you very much! 🙏🏻

[@SidetrackAdventures]

I traveled through that Joshua Tree forest not to long ago and was amazed by it. I had no idea it was there until I got there.

[@CactusAtlas]

Yeah, there's little pockets of Joshua Trees all over the place where you don't expect it. 😄

[@lzwnn]

Love these loosey goosey ride along trips. Those storms were magnificent.

[@CactusAtlas]

I like them too! Less to rehearse, and sometimes nature does all the work for me!

[@carolguezen5829]

Incredible! Never thought of them as a forest but they truly are! Beautiful.

[@CactusAtlas]

It does feel weird calling it a forest, didn't it? 😅

[@throughthethicket]

Brilliant vid! I really like how you switch between driving footage with narration, drone views etc. The storms and Colorado imagery was very calming, which is a quality your content has generally. Cheers for the hard work exploring and editing.

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks a ton! That means a lot to us. 😊

[@jeffreydeboer4414]

Another great episode! Was just out there at Nelson ghost town and Colorado river, but I missed the mines! Glad you found them!

[@CactusAtlas]

Nice! Would love to head back there. Such a fun place to explore. 😄

[@carlrodd8510]

just beautiful. dawg and I often pack a lunch and go sit on the river right where you were shooting. the ride in from the hiway to Nelson is amazing, after the flats you crest a hill and all that amazing hits all at once. brings a chill every time. I think over the xmas break I'm going to go to Nelson your way in. looks like a blast. thanks for the video. 👍

[@CactusAtlas]

That’s an awesome spot and I agree, the drive there is really fun. Hope you have a fun drive and relaxing time after. 😄

[@evdiersing5442]

Just started watching your videos and am enjoying them so much. Thank you for taking me to places I could not go on my own!

[@CactusAtlas]

Glad you like them! And welcome to our channel! Happy to have you along. 😊

[@SwiftyTravels]

I love the unexpected surprises! The caves/mine- and those glorious storm clouds in Boulder City- neat hotel too! Another great adventure!! Thank you! 😀🙏

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you very much! There's so much to find in that area that it's hard not to discover a variety of things. 😄

[@brianfow4666]

Thank you, Glenn!!!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks! We both had fun with this one. 😊

[@GPCalifornia]

It's SO green!!!

[@CactusAtlas]

It hasn't wanted to just give in and die just yet. 😅

[@ijohnsonramos]

What a beautiful video, thank you! ❤

[@CactusAtlas]

Our pleasure! Glad you found it enjoyable. 😊

[@PatchGirl68]

Glenn and Amy, yet another amazing trip that had me smiling. The drone views are great, keep those coming. Been on that Bridge overlooking Hoover Dam and yep its noisy and very windy.

[@CactusAtlas]

Aww, thank you so much. Happy we could make you smile. 😊

[@timk1480]

We live in Phoenix and love seeing the Joshua trees on the way to Vegas. We’ve never been to the friends of Arizona joshua tree forest. I love the drone footage from the circle. Absolutely amazing!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you so much! 😄

[@hhawg1]

You have an excellent camera. The landscapes, town scenes. Great video. Thanks

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed! 😊

[@andrewp.schubert2417]

Awesome adventure. Great production value and editing.

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@BurgundyKRO]

Cool video Glen!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks! We both had fun with this one. 😊

[@chizepi1557]

new to your channel, i love it so much!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Yay! Thank you! Welcome! 😊

[@gstiles7]

Thanks for the trip, very neat stuff! It's a shame that they had to spray paint all over the mine walls. Love te drone footage!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Always! Yeah, graffiti is highly annoying to me. Kills the mood everytime.

[@DiscoverexplorerS]

Glenn / Amy -- sure enjoyed the behind the curtain vlog style here. Also, the low view from the drone over the Mojave desert with the Joshua trees was really amazing. We have driven by there so many times and next time we will stop for sure. Love the mine explore too -- brave of you to do that on your own!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks so much! Brave? Eh. Glenn mostly just pokes inside a bit. Not a real risk taker. 😅

[@DiscoverexplorerS]

@@CactusAtlas LOL -- I am starting to learn that about Glenn. Really enjoyed the music and edit as well. Nice!

[@furleyforever]

G.I. Joe? Damn haven't thought of that in a while. Used to watch the cartoons as a kid. "Flint" was one of my favorite characters. 👍

[@CactusAtlas]

Always fun to delve into memories of 80’s toys!

[@thomasandrews8033]

And to add to my previous comment, I learned a few years back that there is a distinction between Joshua trees. The ones in Arizona are Eastern and the ones out west in California are Western obviously. The Eastern ones start growing their branches sooner whereas the western ones look more like traditional trees with the branches at the top.

[@CactusAtlas]

Fascinating! 😯

[@SuzanneWho]

Glenn, new viewer here. On one of your videos you were talking about music. You should listen to M. Ward. Very laid back, west vibe. 😎❤️🐈‍⬛

[@CactusAtlas]

Awesome, welcome! We'll have to check him out. Always appreciate recommendations. 😄👍

[@scottmueller1896]

Those purple flowers at the beginning are called 'Four o'clocks'

[@eprohoda]

hiya!,this is unreal !;)

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks! 👍

[@guswatts]

Cactus Atlas Storm Chasers Inc. …. Nah, I think The drone footage of Co River was Nat geo worthy! All of it 👍🎉

[@guswatts]

Side note: when my son was little we took him through Joshua tree and I pointed to a mine and said “Look, a mine!” He said, “That’s yours?” 😊

[@CactusAtlas]

Thanks so much! Technology makes it pretty easy! 😉

[@kennethbrinkerhoff9245]

Do you have a video of the Red Butte airport up by the Grand Canyon? It's the old Grand Canyon airlines area.

[@CactusAtlas]

No, we don't have a video on that. 😔

[@meeshker]

You see so many, they get a bit boring. I live in the UK,and have travelled much of the West from Montana to Arizona. From California to Yellowstone. Actually walked and camped in most of the National Parks.

[@thewanderingtraveler8984]

I really hate to see so much graffiti and trash in some places. people can be so ignorant. the cave was really cool though.

[@CactusAtlas]

Agree. Graffiti just kills the mood of discovery and exploration. It's a shame.

[@gingeranderson7263]

I am new to your videos. Have you ever been to Wink Texas?

[@CactusAtlas]

Never have been, no. Anything we're missing there? Always up for suggestions. 👍

[@gingeranderson7263]

It was home to Roy Orbison. There is a Roy Orbison Museum there and the big wink sink holes. Small old Texas town. I loved it when I was a kid. It's an old oil field boom town. Interesting place.

[@mickiofthemountains]

Just curious.... Who brings spray paint on a road trip/hike...???

[@kurtschlick3891]

How old do you think some of the big ones are???

[@fluffyotter1601]

The jealousy continues…..stuck in the mid-Atlantic. Good video! Looking for your rim to rim hiking video…is it still available on your channel? Thank you

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you as always! If you’re thinking of one of the Grand Canyon videos, they should all still be there.

[@baimo_ofc]

oh wow i remember growing up in this place. i always wished for a nuclear winter patrolling this place

[@CactusAtlas]

😅

[@cindyshipman3181]

Where is Slim?

[@CactusAtlas]

He's there! Slim was definitely out there on this trip running through some off-road places. Couldn't have done this trip without him. 😊

[@cindyshipman3181]

@CactusAtlas we are watching the video now and it looked blue at beginning. Of course now we see it is Slim after all....lol

[@milwaukeemotor5995]

is there gold in there

[@mybetterhalf6373]

You spelled Mojave wrong~ in AZ it's "MoHave"

[@CactusAtlas]

We were in Nevada and California.
