First Day in Moab, Utah

[@sonnyboy2273]

This trip has been one of the most enjoyable video series I have ever been privileged to enjoy. Thank you so much.

[@jacksak]

I've kind of said this before, but every time I see you two together exploring these beautiful places I'm smiling through the video and after. You set up my day.

[@AbomAdventures]

Our pleasure!

So glad you got to go to Canyonlands National Park. So beautiful...like the Grand Canyon. It holds a special place in my heart. When I was completing my geology degree, the chairman of the Geology Dept. was a personal friend of Bates Wilson, the first superintendent of the park. Mr. Wilson invited the Dept. Chairman and a handful of us students to travel to Canyonlands to see the geology. This was around 1966, after the park was established in 1964.. The park had not yet officially opened to visitors; the entrance was a dirt road, gate and barbed wire fence with an old trailer house for an office...everything was new and primitive. We stayed in a flea bitten motel in Moab, which was just a wide place in the road at the time. We got to spend 2 days, with Mr. Wilson as our guide, and saw so many special places including old Indian ruins under rock overhangs similar to Mesa Verde and a hike down into Upheaval Dome. One interesting story he told was that some of the early roads down into the canyons were cut into the rock walls by a one-armed bulldozer operator...that had to be mind-blowing! The confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers was amazing as were all the features of the park. What Adam and Abby showed was an unbelievable transformation of the area from the rugged, primitive park we saw. I feel so very fortunate to have seen a grand park like Canyonlands in it's virgin condition with absolutely no improvements. I apologize for rambling on about the area.

I'm a colorado native. You called your self a tourist, I call you a welcome guest. I really enjoy your videos and your commentary. You are a very positive couple

[@mikedeharte933]

Just stumbled upon your channel, I have been binge watching all day.awesome videos, thanks for quality entertainment!

[@SergeRIVIERE]

Another nice video. Thank you for sharing.

[@AbomAdventures]

Thank you too

[@BoffinGrusky]

Utah has some stunning scenery, and the Utahrdian people are a real pleasure!

[@leftjabrighthook]

Welcome to my back yard! I love waking up in Moab.

[@ameyers67]

Adam. Welcome to Utah! Hope you have a blast.

[@ameyers67]

You should hit Poison Spider Mesa, Hells revenge and Steel bender. You chose the right SXS. That KRX is awesome.

[@davidhillbrand2302]

Once again, fun to see your reaction to the places we frequent! Love Moab and the area but it has gotten too crowded! Yes it gets windy; don't leave your awning out! Enjoy the trip.

[@maurabeghini]

Beautiful!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@beverlymurray6554]

Great video!

[@tracyanngiubbini8804]

Hi Adam! My son, Wylie Joe, and I are who you met at camp the first night while we were riding our dirt bikes in the field right in front of you. Your videos are awesome to watch and Wylie thinks it's so cool to watch then since he met you and because we were there too. Hopefully you guys enjoyed the camp ground and by the looks of it you guys got a lot of great exploration done. Moab is definitely a beautiful area. The 10 days we were there wasn't enough for us to see and do everything. We're you able to take your bike on any of the little trails?

[@AbomAdventures]

Hey Tracy and Wylie Joe! So nice meeting you two. We had so much fun in Moab! We squeezed in as much as we could in the time we were there but man there's so much to see and do. It was one of our biggest highlights of the trip. I am working on the two off-roading videos now so be on the lookout for them soon. Thanks for looking up the channel and hope ya'll will continue to enjoy. We have a lot of videos still to share of the trip.

[@stfanboy]

40 some degrees in the morning? That's the perfect pre dawn temperature. Gives you a pleasurable little chill up your spine when you first walk outside. Have fun!

[@AbomAdventures]

It’s been perfect weather! Chilly in the morning and warms up nicely to mild 70’s during the afternoon.

[@clintbybee5678]

Welcome to Utah and Moab hope you enjoy it there I go there with my Jeep every chance I get. if you find yourself looking for a place to see Goblin Valley is great but is a bit of a drive.

[@mikewhitcomb6558]

Wow, just missed you, we were off roading about 30 miles north of Arches last weekend, drive through Moab from where we live. Blew reverse in my Baja Bug :(

[@Breeze80]

We live in Utah. We went Sept 25-28 and never made it into Arches. 😭 Canyonlands is beautiful as well

[@petervance9886]

Adam I'm worn out from watching your vacation I'm going to take a nap.

[@AbomAdventures]

Better nap up real good before we get to the arches hikes!

[@rally618]

Never been there, but the videos I've seen are awesome. The different layers and colors. Hope you didn't go down Shafer Road( Scary as Hell),but the views are amazing. Probably is a good time of year, the temps are not high.

[@silentjde]

They have really small parking lots at the park and they fill up fast. Delicate Arch is a hike all up hill, but worth.

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

America is truly a wonderful place, no matter what your likes are you can find a landscape for those, you could spend a lifetime discovering them all and still not see everything. Passports, We don't need no Passports.

[@mikedillon9609]

You guys are awesome!!!!! thank you very much for sharing your beautiful videos America is a great place to live

[@AbomAdventures]

I pretty much make the same kind of comments to those who tell me I need to come to this country or that country. I want to visit my homeland first and see all of the great places it holds. I never had the opportunity to travel before now.

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

@@AbomAdventures When young I never got to travel either, only when I got older and making some decent money could we. I'm retired but my wife has a couple years left, at a very good job. When she does get to retire we're going to travel much more. You're doing the right thing , getting out and seeing when you are still somewhat young.

[@samwilliams1982]

I live in Utah, and it’s too many people that have been couped up for too long, so they flood our NPs. I hope you can enjoy all that Moab has to offer.

[@AbomAdventures]

It’s everywhere. Look up the stats in NP visits for this year.

[@nbtmx1]

There's only 1 thing missing from the road trip trip so far Are we there yet 🤣

[@mikewhitcomb6558]

Any chance you will be coming through Durango CO in your travels?

[@SpeedyDad1]

We just left that campground. I know which one it is. We stayed one spot over a couple years ago.

[@danieldavis9564]

You need to try Moab over Easter weekend

[@AbomAdventures]

As in stay away? 😂

[@silentjde]

You HAVE to go to Milts stop and eat, it’s off the strip but worth it

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!!

[@apollorobb]

@14:37 i see Utah is on board lol love the Buggies going through town . They do the same thing here in Oklahoma in my home town .

[@Fairchildflyer]

Shell Canyon (Wy.)is a great drive

[@csavol]

Adam what gps unit do you have on windshield

[@AbomAdventures]

That is actually the rear camera monitor. I do have a Garmin gps but rarely use it. Google maps on my phone is a much better platform I think.

[@Roadkillstew]

wait till you see all the spires

[@Fairchildflyer]

Watch, Embracing Detours (channel). Colorado National Monument .. great place,, drive

[@vicmiller7191]

I know isn't Moab such a beautiful place, and it'd be a lot nicer if all you tourist didn't spend every other weekend down here. Thanks 😤

[@AbomAdventures]

Thanks for the view! I only spent one weekend but plan to return! 👍🏻
