It’s remarkable how many people can’t wait travel out of the United States to foreign places when there’s so much beauty in the US that many have never seen. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@fazole]

There're no real castles or pyramids in the US...

[@robertforrest7956]

@@fazole and what wisdom says that?

[@clearsmashdrop5829]

Some of my friends are dying to go overseas. I'm dying to just to a road trip to some place remote like this.

[@chromebomb]

i like to do both!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

HEAR HEAR Richard! I've been saying that my entire life.

[@nancychace8619]

Interesting spot. Expansive views. Airstrip an excellent idea. Nice video - thanks for sharing.

[@MrHamish54]

Scott and Julie are wonderful Hosts!!!! You’ll never go hungry with their breakfasts and dinners. Definitely plan to stop by when you are in the area. Spectacular Sunrises and sunsets

[@doctorartphd6463]

WOW...this is very cool !!!! Thanks, Juan. Great history lesson. Nice place to hide out !

[@geofiggy]

Great music track JB. Just beautiful wilderness. Old Western Theme and Yummy food. To bad I've become a pascetatarian. Thanks for this. Take care and fly safe. 🤟🏽🖖🏽

[@gregotterson6724]

Great video, Juan. I hope it brings more guests for them. The airstrip idea is excellent as we pilots will go to great lengths for an excuse to fly somewhere. Maybe the number of airstrip comments and your encouragement will help motivate them to attract fly in guests. From what I can see In the video it wouldn’t take much to make a small strip.

[@Dobie_Gillis]

Awesome production, thank you! This is what America is all about. Freedom!

[@lizj5740]

Thanks for taking me to a place I've never been before (and am unlikely to ever be). Happy new year to all.

[@ranter7100]

What a country of stunning contrasts. Environmentally, socially, politicly. Stay safe. I think each and every one of you needs to dig pretty deep in regard to the points above. You all have a stake in your country right down to those not doing so well. Frankly the American people deserve far far better than their elected leaders from both party's are giving them.

[@whizzytheelephantadventure1063]

That cycle of the camera going round the table with food made me feel so homely. Mood went from 35% happy to 75% happy. Share more like this blanc! It's a warm feel for a warming life.

[@bcgrittner]

Great place. I’ll probably never get there, but it was fascinating to watch the video.

[@catherinenelson4162]

It looks like a great place, Juan. Loved your music!

[@ratride1]

Good idea for the airstrip. Minimal investment to bring in overnight plane trips. Resupply the camp by air might be a alternative or a option with supplies far away. I wish them the best in these difficult times for small business.

[@gjv-klm_747]

Love to go back to the US. As soon as we can travel unrestricted. This hide away could go on my bucket list. To all viewers and the Brown family, stay safe and stay healthy. From the Netherlands.

[@kpn574]

It made me ache to see those wide vistas and the Big Sky. Would have been HEAVENLY to look up in the night and see all those twinkling little lamps in the sky, which are close enough to knock down with a tall stick. The music was appropriate too. Almost heard Ole Turkey Buzzard......

[@Jorgeola757]

Hey Juan , enjoyed the drone footage in the opening scene. Place looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@joesterling4299]

Loved the music too. So mood-setting and relaxing.

[@MrProach2]

I live in the UK and I travel to Utah as often as I can for hiking and canyoneering (but not so much recently!!!) I've flown all over Utah too, in my little US-based 65hp taildragger (not a Luscombe but similar!). It's a lovely part of the US with a dry climate and wonderful scenery. I've probably made 15 to 20 separate trips to Utah .

[@richardwilson6787]

Outstanding Juan, thank you for sharing!

[@ChristinaChrisR]

Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing such a beautiful place. (And despite walking dogs already half of the day, seeing dogs always makes my day.) Still hoping to be able to visit the US once in my life.

[@larryschweitzer4904]

The US is a big place but my favorite areas are the Rocky Mts and the west. Take your time, get off the beaten path. The Pacific coast is nice as long as you avoid the big cities. Come see, stay awhile. Rent a small RV.

[@ChristinaChrisR]

@@larryschweitzer4904 thank you! Yeah, it’s huge😳 As someone coming from a small country (Sweden) I’m in awe of the beauty of yours. Seems you could experience almost every kind of this planet’s nature wonders in the US...

[@michaelguy7168]

A runway is a great idea. Beautiful place, I have it on my list of places.

[@drmichaelshea]

I was born in Salt Lake City 71 years ago, but home at the time was LaSal, Utah. My parents worked for Charlie and Joe Redd who ran what was at that time the 4th largest ranch in the United States. I still remember the ranch, though my family left there when I was a toddler. I do believe Hardy Redd still lives there. I often dream of going back there in the closing years of my life, but I don’t think the opportunity will ever arise. Thanks for the view of home.

[@Erated78]

Beautiful place and nice cabins too. It's so weird to see the cabin's rafters spaced so far apart from each other...here in Canada we get a winter snow load and the weight of which would crush a roof like that LOL. Anyway, thanks for taking us along and enjoy the trip!

[@18robsmith]

That's a very neat place, well thought out and well executed. Let's hope he can keep on going and keep on putting folks like you up.

[@phillee2814]

That looks like a great spot, and a very smart couple running it. A small airstrip would certainly increase through traffic or out & back day visits with a small diner and looks easily feasible. Also could be handy in case of emergencies.

[@spiritmatter1553]

Emergency access would be a huge bonus.

[@trentgodwin6320]

From the first glimpse I was thinking, "wonder if my Beech could land there?" Looks wonderful. It's now on my list. Thanks!

[@drmichaelshea]

There is a large and well equipped airport just north of Moab. I landed my RV6-A there in the days when I could still fly airplanes. Monticello is closer to LaSal, but I’m not sure about airport facilities there.

[@jeffroclamp-it3405]

Air strip ,yes i was thinking the same thing ,great video JB ,THANKS, That place is AWESOME !!

[@jacksak]

So beautiful and welcoming, a place to forget about your problems...

[@ronaldjennings8057]

Beautiful scenery my whole house is Native American on the inside I'm part Cherokee anyway but yeah I'm loving that it's pretty cool three step Hideaway yeah it's pretty neat I'd already go ahead tell you I'd take the TP myself caught a partial to the Indian stuff so yeah I like them oh by the way tell Pete I said hello yes the cabins look real nice seems like that man's got everything think thought of tires motorcycles are generators he's got it all equipped for sure that's really nice place I like that thank you so much for that video I really enjoyed that for sure brought back a lot of good times I like to be there sometime looks like fun will you take care can't wait to see some more good videos like I said that scenery was really nice to and I like when you take it out of your aircraft the scenery that is really nice as well will you have a good day and be safe🏍👍🤠

[@dam1041960]

Thank you for sharing J.B.!

[@Mike7478F]

Always a wealth of information. Thanks Juan. Fascinating.

[@seanmcerlean]

That looks really off grid & beautiful Juan.

[@johnblecker4206]

Now after working in a city for years that really looks heavenly to me.

[@747SP727]

Thanks for showing us around the place. What a great set up. Yes put in an airstrip and fly to town for the salad run.

[@desertdenizen6428]

A hundred dollar salad? Interesting concept!

[@stroln]

I have stayed there. Hosts are great, the place is great.

[@MikeB0001]

Beautiful spot!...wow..Wife and I have kicked around moving to Utah after I retire. Need to get the hell outta NY..I signed on to patreon the other day for the yearly gig. Money well spent. Thanks for what you do.👍🏻👍🏻

[@blancolirio]

Welcome aboard Mike!

[@FloridaLightSport]

Most of my bush plane buddies would just land on the driveway. May stop in sometime myself.

[@jtveg]

Nice, looks like an awesome place. Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼

[@SuperDave_BR549]

worked up there for the phone company back in the '80's. dove creek was a hoot back in those days.

[@tedecker3792]

Reminds me of a little settlement near the middle fork of the Salmon, in Idaho. I was there on a wildfire in the mid 80s. The hand crank (!) phone was part of a small exchange run out of another small settlement. Phone line ran the last couple of miles attached to the top strand of barbed wire fence. I tried to make a call: hold the receiver to your ear then crank the handle a few times, if she doesn’t answer, just do it again till she does. Sometimes she’s out in the garden. Since I live in Moab I probably won’t use the BnB but I’ll be sure to let others know! Happy new year Juan.

[@gracelandone]

Nice piece. Good for Scott and Julie. Gotta have a dream. Surely you could land the Mighty Luscombe hereabouts somewhere?

[@blogengeezer4507]

-Prolly not much trouble 'landing'. Taking off, flying 'out' may be another story ;}

[@robinswiftton5802]

This great Thankyou

[@MaShcode]

Love it. More off the beaten path communities are harnessing low carbon, sustainable systems. Li battery storage is pricey but lots of lead acid deep cycle batteries can work better in the high desert. So nice to see these places. Thanks.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

What a great spot!! Hope I can get out there one of these days. Beautiful! What a brilliant owner, too. 👍😎

[@jamesmcgraw9570]

I love it, one suggestion it is only a suggestion. LIFEPO batteries are sealed units with no hassle with distilled water. No fumes or hazardous vapors. They are expensive up front, but less expensive over time.

[@osimnod]

Everything you've posted about the 3 Step Hideaway makes it look very inviting and a timely respite from pitching your own tent. Has given me ideas on other "Spartan" breaks from setting camp on some BDRs and the TAT. Hope to test my skills on either / both of them in 2021.

[@frankgulla2335]

Nicely done, sir. Pretty country. Love to get out there some day.

[@2011mendo]

Living off grid requires lots of patience. ( I'm in Mendocino, 8 miles back by Iron Peak. Down Spy Rock) I'd update those batteries, but he's done a great job.

[@smokeyou812]

Awesome set-up. Thought of everything practically!

[@UTarcher72]

Thanks Juan for the content. I'm a Utahn, pilot and motorcycler so it's nice to find new destinations. We sure love riding the GWT in our state.

[@jimross898]

Love this! Reminded me of a bar we used to visit in Montana, steps from the US/Canada border. A long way from anywhere. Three hours from the nearest pavement on the Canadian side. No gate at the border. No food. Just liquor served by a crusty old dude that didn't like hippies but loved young women. Always made sure one of the women was chatting him up and the taps flowed. Had a few hippies on the crew. We were tree planting in the area and I got lost one day and accidentally found a bar 20 km from our camp. Added big to my cred... Had a large photo on one wall of two grizzlies humping with the bar clearly in the background. You know you're out there when... Check it out on Google maps. Still there today. Not sure if it's still a bar. Been many years. Might make a cool bike trip. The Flathead Valley is gorgeous. www.google.ca/maps/@49.0005027,-114.4838488,1370m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en&authuser=0

Great place. Wish I could get there, greetings from across the pond in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

That airstrip would be a great attraction for the Super Cubs.

[@bigmac3006]

What a wonderful video Juan!

[@hansraub8663]

A Very Inspiring Movie ! I've got to get my bike ready !

[@JonMulveyGuitar]

Another excellent clip! I am definitely going to hit as much of the TAT as I can. Thanks Juan!

[@xgtiguy]

I like how exciting you sound explaining things you're like a kid in a candy store. I'm the same 🤗

[@ZSharkPH]

I normally pitch a tent on my dual sport trips.. But will for sure book a room there next time i'm in area. Would love to support them for making this place.

[@Konabish]

I was wondering about an airstrip! Utah is a beautiful historic state, that's why I spent so much time there. Especially love the red rock country and aspen trees.

[@centralwebs]

Interesting place. Thanks for the walkthrough.

[@apergiel]

I worked the LaSal mines in the 1970's. Beautiful country. Went back this summer, drove up a box canyon to camp at treeline Mt Peale. Was woke at 2AM by smell of wood smoke & saw deep smoke haze, scarey, broke camp, skedaddled in 4WD down a long tortuous 2-track. Met Rancher John on the main dirt road at 4 AM, who was woke too, and worried about moon disappearing in the smoke, he was looking for the fire. Finished my sleep, woke to find fire was miles away east in Colorado. Never will I camp in a isolated tinder dry box canyon again. Water, if there was fresh water the place would boom. I tend to go where its dry and consequently not despoiled. In La Paz BCS now, dry again, the aquifer is being sucked, salinity increasing. If there was fresh water, it would grow to like crazy, supporting huge highways, pollution and gridlock. Desalination has a great future for the burgeoning human population.

[@stonehaven]

That was enjoyable. Thank you.

[@richc47us]

Looks like you could use a little more water to keep hydrated. haha Beautiful country and thanks for taking the time to edit and run this video. All the best! With all that's going on in Washington these days, why wouldn't more people want to get "outta dodge"!?

[@dansimpson6844]

I want more from the tierraplanario channel!

[@scottfalter4373]

Love the airstrip idea. I’d definitely fly out to get away.

[@BerndFelsche]

Airstrip was exactly my thinking.

[@jjjwin1]

I was there just a few days after you last summer Great place. Great people

[@Turbodog1000]

Very nice place, very nice people. I stopped by in 2019 during my solo TAT trip. Too early in the day to stay for the night, I did buy a T-shirt, and a quart of oil from the shop. I would love to have an overnight there, I guess I need to go on another TAT trip.

[@simontakita6554]

TAT postie bike challenge 2021!

[@carltrano1325]

Three steps hideaway looks like an awesome place hope he makes it through Covid be a shame for A resource such as that to go under. Again hats off to you Juan for bringing us this kind of Content. He needs a runway For the back country flying people. Mike Petey and crew

[@brucevanderzanden9638]

That is a great looking place. Would be a nice place to just go and stay for a few nights.

[@LBRides]

Bucket list for sure!

[@jandejong2430]

The airstrip!

[@kenk039]

Needs a bush plane for supply runs. Great video!!

[@callmeandy4279]

There was a plane down near Jakarta Indonesia, SJ-182

[@socalsurf]

Thank you Juan! Makes me get on Zillow to search for acreage, bug-out and live free from the chaos of the city.

[@gregknipe8772]

great bicycle destination as well. Bath House!!

[@DeviantDeveloper]

Ugh this looks AWESOME.

[@robertforrest7956]

I hope he's building a rigid greenhouse, some plastics crack in severe cold and won't insulate as well. Dual frame on roof would be best for snow loads. Been there done that.

[@JasVmitten]

what a cool place...love it

[@DuyanFarms]

Hi Juan, I've dreamed of doing the TAT for a long time. Now that we're living in the USA again after 16+ years, I can get serious about it. Thanks for sharing your journey. The only words I can describe the 3 Steps Hideaway is "bitchen". I grew up on the beaches of SoCal so for me, that's the one that fits. Hahaha... Cheers, ~Mike and Ester~

[@willf5768]

Very cool

[@JeffCowan]

Bush pilots would love that place.

[@morthomer5804]

Where's the airstrip

[@Cinebar2]

Love the vlog!!

[@martinjrichter55]

Funny you should mention an airstrip at the end of the video. When you opened with the Drone footage I was looking at that and thinking that Trent Palmer and his buddies would love to fly into a place like that. But I also think you ought to take Pete and the Mighty Stenson and get yourself back over there.

[@lenboyd2357]

Not the only one from the U.K. that dreams

[@Bolivar2012able]

Take it with you on your travels and do some editing in the cockpit. All you're doing is systems monitoring whilst the aircraft is in Cruise Mode. At least if it was an Airbus you'd have a fold away tray table. :)

[@zapfanzapfan]

Was totally expecting Clint Eastwood to ride into that town :-)

[@dennisharrington6055]

Thanks again. Off subject. MH370. It flew ‘til fuel exhaustion. PRESUMING separate fuel tanks, HOW would switching tanks be accomplished?

[@MikeCris]

Scott should most certainly add an airstrip to diversify his customer base. That would make a great backcountry flying destination.

[@BSsss603]

you look great .. thanks for sharing!

[@tomwilliam5118]

I wonder what it's like in the winter time I would love to see some photos

[@tomwilliam5118]

That's a little far to drive from Knoxville Tennessee but I'd like to visit it someday. If you are able to drive a car to it

[@d.t.4523]

That dirt road isn't an expressway, but it is a road!

[@kk6aw]

It must be 50 years or more since I was in the La Sal area

[@bernardc2553]

Bout 30 for me #chasing Oil-Rigs days,,,

[@goldcfi7103]

Yep, build the strip!

[@sassed12many]

Came for the motorcycles and adventures... got a lot more

[@Fly2992]

Great video as always Juan. I live in Utah and had no idea about this place. I’ll certainly check it out before the Summer. What song is that?

[@jamesallen8838]

Oh yes, an Air Strip would get me there

[@joeclarke9782]

3 Steps is what I need. Do you know if those teepees have electric and flush toilets? Thanks for the great vid as usual.

Regular high plains drifter, stop in to wet your whistle? Nice get away spot.
