I always thought about coyoty roadrunner cartoons and how the animators must have spent time here.

[@apolloskyfacer5842]

It's way beyond our comprehension. how long it took for that vast plateau to be worn down to what we're seeing to day. The monuments are all that's left of it. A geological time duration of millions of years.

[@carolsmith5531]

Thank you again for taking me to a place that I will never have the opportunity to visit. I’m afraid my traveling days are over but I still get to travel with your videos. Thank you….Thank you!!!

[@martyrose]

Hey Russ! 🙋 That's a beautiful area. Nature made her own outdoor museum. You're a fun tour guide. Makes the ride along extra enjoyable. Thanks! ❤️

[@susanboatman7913]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm thankful for all the gorgeous God-given nature in the US. Gorgeous video Russ.

[@michaeldane197]

The movie National Lampoon’s Vacation, Stagecoach, The Searchers, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Mission Impossible II was filmed in Monument Valley. Just some of the other movies made here. Great Video.. I wonder if The Looney Tunes got the idea back for the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons from here. Happy Thanksgiving Russ. Have a Great Turkey Dinner.

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

You know what I like about your channel? Well, besides everything lol...i like that it's about where your going and where your at, not just yourself or fixing stuff or products...you do have some of that a little but not too much. I love everyone I watch that travels, but sometimes some are way too focused on themselves instead of the journey and showing the areas.

[@sledawgpilot]

He has his promotional videos and I don’t begrudge him that, it pays for all the entertainment he gives us. Also I’m generally sort of interested in that stuff. If life was fair it would be more like $ what network tv people get.

[@rickeap]

Exactly. I watch lots of travel videos and too often young pretty things make themselves the star attractions. The videos need to be about the views and experience, not about the people behind it. Russ has the perfect mix, enough to get to know him but it's about the travel, not him.

[@stephrusty3055]

Russ .Just shows you how small you are on this planet its vast . Utah is pretty place .traveled the area 2006 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@lonnierandall7882]

The clouds are beautiful. They add another dimension to the views.

[@carolynhogarth2725]

Nice Firest Gump picture. Lovingvtge share HAVE A GREAT HAPPY DAY TO EVERYONE.

[@jesscarey7666]

Very cool Russ 😎

[@amyrobinson3119]

The cloud cover, really made it ❤

[@nealhathaway2004]

Sometime around 2003, I was camping on Mulie Point. I know it's hard to believe, but you can find it on the internet. I saw the Aurora Borialis. It was crazy. No describing it.

[@landerson1012]

Pretty country around those parts. Here in Minnesota, our hills mainly consist of parking lot speed bumps.

[@63bplumb]

I was there just two weeks ago. Have a picture of my 66 Cadillac at the Forest Gump spot.

[@johnlenart597]

Years ago I just entered Zion and Bryce and ran into sleet and hail. Not good when on 2 wheels. Ended up on the Mexican border to warm up. Never got back until now. Sure looks too cool for school. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🦃🙋‍♂️

[@juliebradford2999]

Such a beautiful land,beautifully video. Thanks for Sharing Russ!

[@annettehambler-pruden6682]

HAVE DRIVEN IT SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT IS NICE TO SEE IT AS A PASSENGER. I CAN WATCH THE SCENERY INSTEAD OF THE TOURISTS

[@donnastedham9822]

Beautiful scenery. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@IDNHANTU2day]

Another great surprise on a beautiful Thanksgiving morning. Thank you Russ. You are a Rock Star Bro.

[@SPak-rt2gb]

Great journey Russ, I'm surprised there isn't a town called Mars, Utah with all the red colors. Safe Travels

[@BlazingLaser]

A few years ago we were in Monument Valley after a huge snowstorm. It was just incredible! I think there was a law, years ago, that if you were making a Western movie, you had to film at least some scenes in Monument Valley! If cowboys were driving a herd of cattle from Abilene to Kansas City, they'd go through Monument Valley!

[@DrCarlo]

Russ, Happy Thanksgiving on the road my friend...Your Videos are outstanding, and I miss home because of you and your travels...I'll be back as they say...

[@ramontoro]

One of my favorites areas , two times I have been there and I want to go next year, if you have the time go to the “ The View Hotel “ inside the monument valley it’s amazing, thanks Russ for a very good job and let’s see what happens in Moab , thanks from Puerto Rico

[@margaretbowen867]

Next time at Monument Valley take the loop drive. A must see.😁

[@Volunteersunrise]

Years ago we camped at the Navajo park in Monument Valley. It rained overnight and after sunrise we had to load our Harleys in the rain. It was like riding on oil. The road down into the Monuments are amazing. The rainy morning had the clouds so low the Mittens looked like ships looming out of the sea.

[@ericheyblom]

No end to enjoying going for a ride with you, across the wonderful terrain of the mid US. Thanks for all your efforts Russ.

[@ksr1177]

Run Russ run forest gump classic. Thanks again for another great video.

[@chrisconley8105]

Personally, I think those clouds are spectacular. Thanks for taking us along.

[@jeffsten1]

Been there done that. The beginning of Covid. Beautiful area. Thank you Russ!

[@michaeltipton5500]

My Brother lives in Moab. We drove through Mexican Hat on the way to the Grand Canyon.

[@oifiismith]

Aloha! Happy Thanksgiving Russ and everyone. Mahalo for sharing the videos. God bless, safe travel and much luv🤙

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Spectacular scenery! Great video Russ!

[@lindabrown2211]

Thanks Russ for the ride along. Again another place Ive heard about but never been . Happy Thanksgiving and be safe. As you say see you soon.

[@jamosgarage9006]

Cool area. I like Bluff, Utah, Mexican Hat, Utah and Sand Island petroglyphs.

[@susanstrickland6774]

What a beautiful drive. Liked seeing Forest Gump Hill. Just saw the square in Savannah from the movie a month ago. That Mexican Hat is really neat, balanced perfectly. Thanks for taking us along. 🙂👍

[@betb48]

Actually the sky was giving super effect... first time i watch your video... you are good ... would love to be there now...bless you ...canada here

[@shirleyc7175]

The clouds are beautiful

[@stephend.mixell2042]

hey Russ hope you had a Thanksgiving. Another neat video and Mt valley is indeed something to see thanks again for sharing. just got the latest to cool for school RVerTV sticker for on my SUV. Nice addition to my collection. Take care until the next time.

[@okiejammer2736]

Ohhh, yeah. ☀️ Thank you much!

[@karenj49]

Love your video! We were there last year, for the second time. Everyone should see Utah at least once, but they’ll most likely return. God knocked it out of the park with Utah! All praise and glory to Him!

[@skyebird3933]

Wow! What a cool part of this earth. Thank you so much for all you do to show it to us. 😊

[@susiachmady]

Monument Valley, is famous for being beautiful in UTAH, and I remember the film Forest Gum, Tom Hank once ran along this road, while shooting the film Forest Gum. Even though it looks barren, it has its own beauty, like large stone carvings. thank you for sharing and gave information about this valey

[@billmcroberts6566]

We spent a week in a yurt near Mexican Hat in 2011. Drove up the Mokey Dugway. What a trip. Thanks for the memories.

[@nancycain4434]

It's on my bucket list.Beautiful area, thanks Russ.

[@AndreaGarcia-ul2cm]

I really feel blessed when I see things so beautiful

[@TravellingTrav1025]

Back in 2008/09 Me and my wife roadtripped from California through there on the way to Moab and Mesa Verde national park. Our southwest roadtrip😁

[@timpage8996]

Thanks for the vicarious experience of Forrest Gump hill!!!

[@raphtranter6895]

Just north of the Mexican Hat rock formation is a turn off to the west for Gooseneck State Park. This small park is an absolute must see. It overlooks the switchbacks of the San Juan River as it proceeds to Lake Powell after flowing through the small town of Mexican Hat. You will not be disappointed. The geographic features are stunning. It's only a few miles off Hwy 163 and is paved the entire way. The state of Utah has a minimal vehicle fee to enter this park. It's a small price for what you'll experience.

[@backcountryboondockers]

Valley of the Gods is nice to check out too.

[@brycehongola2425]

My favorite spot other worldly the Monument Valley great shot for Forrest Gump.☮️🌵I stayed at that old funky motel at Mexican 👒 🙂

[@housesOTR]

Just off the road is Goosenecks State Park. Great place to camp on the edge of the cliff.

[@ralphjames1211]

Gotta love how they featured an altered version of Forest Gump Hill in Monument Valley with CGI giant balancing rock formations ontop of the real spires of Monument Valley, and then CGI destroying Monument Valley complete with swaying and seasawing balancing rocks for the film San Andreas during the great earthquake scenes!!!!

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY!!!

[@LMGSvideos]

Was there at the end of October. I stayed a night at goosenecks state park right outside of Mexican hat. Also drove the Moky Dugway. It was a great trip.

[@jgringo5516]

Burping up Turkey feathers now while getting pounding by heavy rain. Nice scenery over there!

[@KB6YAF]

Monument Valley is on my bucket list. Thanks Russ for taking me (Russell D.) along....

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Take care! Watching Mail Call in between rv er tv just to get me on track

[@evelynwinchester4726]

Hi Russ, my FAVORITE place in the world. We actually went to Mexican Hat in 1988. From Los Angeles, Ca

[@larryjohnson6398]

Great video very beautiful there love the cloud formation travel safe for us and have a Happy Thanksgiving we did we enjoy you so much

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! "UTAH" "BEAUTIFUL " "ROCK FORMATIONS"!!!

[@eaglerare1273]

Thanks for including more map screen shots. Enjoy the journey

[@annettehambler-pruden6682]

WE WERE IN MEXICAN HAT YEARS AGO AND STAYED IN THE MOTEL ON THE SAN JUAN RIVER. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE SOME STUNNING PICS OF THE MOUNTAINS AROUND THE HAT AND THEY SHOW THE FORMATIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS THAT LOOK LIKE A ZIGZAG PATTERN IN ALL DIFFERENT COLOURS. IT IS INCREDIBLE

[@williamscoggin1509]

I took some photos of the zigzag color rocks also, so unique. Back in 2012

[@mikellofgren201]

Thanks Russ! On my bucket, but my health is fading fast. Very grateful you shared this one, as with so many more of your thoughtful presentations. Happy New Year

[@JodysJourney]

We were there just last week. 😃👍🏻

[@Volunteersunrise]

Russ, Loved the shots of my favorite road. Mexican Hat is great. The meandering river at Goosenecks State Park is wondrous. Safe travels my friend.

[@bigtedf07]

Roadrunner and Wylie Coyote and that genre…best of cartoon making

[@robertjean659]

Spectacular scenery thru that area Russ. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@gianlucavighini]

Russ is always my personal window on the West. Thank u very much for your work. Your italian friend…

[@otway00]

Wife and I spent a few days in area late August. Turn outs for Gump View were packed and there were many people laying down in the road taking pictures

[@fcballnyfc8528]

👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️..... Woow absolutely amazing be safe my friend....

[@Greg_Jones]

I thought for sure you would put the drone in "follow" mode to catch you jogging up Gump Hill. 😊

[@Alana6275-v5x]

Mexican Hat rock. Cool!

[@brindahoward4527]

I've never been to Utah. Loved the scenery. Thanks for sharing

[@MAGAisacult]

Stopped there last fall. It was a highly anticipated site to take photo when.........I got there about 8 am. About 200 feet down the hill and group of 10 or 12 foreign tourists had gathered with tripods set up in the road, ruining any possible photo opp's. I waited about 30 min and they didn't leave. I finally walked down the hill and explained no one else could get a photo, and they started shouting at me. Not a pleasant situation, was quite disappointed.

[@richardl.7390]

In 2013, I took this exact photo that you show @ 6:45 in your video : Utah Route 163 looking south towards Monument Valley. I didn't know it was Forest Gump's "last mile" ... lol ! You can access the Navajo Tribal Park (it used to cost 5.00 US$ to enter) and tour the site alone or with the help of a local Navajo guide if you wish (at an additional cost). In 1981, I toured the site alone and got stuck in soft sand with my truck. I was lucky to carry iron "Traction Aids" and a shovel with me and I was able to get out of trouble all alone. Route 191 takes you to "Canyon de Chelly" where you can admire "Spider Woman" tower, a marvelous sight. Extraordinary part of the World to discover and explore. Cheers. RICHARD

[@jamesharris8541]

Had a great flatiron steak dinner in Mexican Hat !

[@patriciawarner1274]

Love the area, been through there twice

[@rickeap]

Next time I visit I will do this drive. I've been to Monument Valley but not Mexican Hat or the Gump hill Your videos are inspiring.

[@gregprince2523]

What a beautiful area Russ!

[@ivank196]

Great video Russ! My favourite element of your videos are the aerial segments and your unique chuckle LOL! Great job!

[@MAGAisacult]

"I'm pretty tired, I think I'll go home now."

[@LEXPIX]

Nice scenery. Well captured.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Wow! Mexican Hat Rock was so cool Russ! Thank you so much for this video! Happy New Year 2024!!❤️😀🚙🌄

[@dclassb8135]

Great video Russ

[@timf6916]

Way COOL, the hole video.

[@dionecolvin9266]

Loved the vedio I will get to that drive one day thanks for sharing

[@lj4130]

Truly spectacular! A Great video. Happy thanksgiving

[@jenniferrobertson243]

Great video. Really enjoy your channel. Loved Forrest Gump hill 1994 was a great year for movies Forrest Gump Pulp fiction Shawshank redemption 😊👍

[@timothykosmoski5690]

Wow that is way cool Russ thanks for the tour don’t know that I’d make it over that way but sure nice to see it you do such fine job videoing hats off to you… Lol no pun intended… Talk soon

[@joemiles6917]

Happy Thanksgiving Russ!

[@joansidor5191]

Gorgeous..... Thanks Russ. Joan in Page

[@chaleurphantom1]

Well, Thanks a lot!! Another Bucket List item. Absolutely beautiful country. I have been watching your videos for awhile. I think this one is my favorite. Just incredible scenery. I checked it out.

[@bobrouse8634]

Mile Marker 13 - that is the reference point for Forrest Gump.

[@changguklew235]

오늘도 좋은 영상 감사합니다. 2019년도 방문했던 기억이 납니다. 또 다시 한번 더 가보고 싶네요. Thank you for the great video today. I remember visiting in 2019. I would like to visit again.

[@charleshouse5541]

Think i saw that rock on a recent nasa video🤫!

[@birdvalystuff]

Interesting land scape since I have never seen it. Now I can't believe you stayed at KOA. So, I seen where people need to stop. This was starting close to east side of Grand Canyon. It's not that far few hours drive. Even close to where you say you're going be do able in day easy enough.

[@yawndave]

Hey Russ, happy Thanksgiving! Don't tell anyone, but many years ago when I was at the "Forest Gump" view area I picked up a frisbee-sized chunk of sandstone and took it home as a souvenir. Mexican Hat Rock is pretty neat, but I really like the layering in the bluffs behind it. If you make it back to the area, try to check out the Goosenecks of the San Juan, one of the most spectacular sights in the southwest. Happy trails!

[@apolloskyfacer5842]

Yes, those layering rock formations make for some interesting geological scenery.

[@terrymertz1923]

We missed out on the mittens? I can't believe you drove right by

[@keith01956]

Very cool Thanks again Russ, Happy Thanksgiving
