This guy will drive nine hours out of his way just to get a glimpse of Like a rock that’s sitting on top of another rock or something like that. Just because three years ago he was driving three hours away and noticed it on a map. And that’s why his channel is good. Because most people would not be able to tolerate the lack of a payoff for the amount of driving it takes to get to some of these destinations. Like imagine someone driving all the way from Denver just to see the hanging flume. You’re probably going to be disappointed. But this guy will spend two days of his life to check it out and make a video for us so we don’t have to. Nice.

[@beach3girl459]

Think he may be driven by the same need as ancient explorers

[@marymcdean1117]

So true. Us subscribers/followers rips the benefit. I have been living vicariously through him. ;)

[@stanbyme7874]

Well stated👏🏾

[@SUVRVing]

Lol! I've never thought of it like that, but you're right. I'll happily plan an entire trip about one little thing that I think is interesting. As far as I'm concerned, one excuse to get out adventuring is just as good as any other!

[@shawnas464]

Ah! So that’s how you spell flume! Lol

[@SkepticalRaptor]

In case you’re wondering, the Sinbad Valley was caused by a collapsed salt dome. As one side move up as a result of mountain building, water poured down from the new mountain range and eroded the salt. It’s rare in deserts, and it does create a very cool valley.

[@lindacondray7918]

I came to the comments hoping someone explained that canyon. Figured there had to be a geologist type watching Tristan’s videos. THANK YOU!

[@davkatjenn]

Thank you for that information. I saw that the valley was just east of the La Sal Mountains. I will have to go and check it out.

[@antonboldsword3770]

@@davkatjenn Makes sense that a collapsed salt dome would be in "The Salt" mountains...

[@Mark-cg2bg]

My first thought was a caldera, but the salt dome explanation makes total sense. Thanks.

[@RLHayes]

Thanks Tristan for another epic adventure. I've decided to sell my little ranch in Joshua Tree, (gentrification has taken over and is ruining the magical desert vibe), get a tricked out little trailer and hit the road. Your videos are so well done! I've explored California extensively but never Utah and Colorado. Can't wait to follow in your footsteps. Thank you for sharing and showing!!!

[@SUVRVing]

Sounds like an exciting next step to take! You'll have a great time!

[@sandeedobberstine5591]

Happy travels!

[@bebe60602]

Be safe and enjoy!!

[@websterbarstone]

I liked both the Hanging Flume and Fantasy Canyon. The work that must have gone into building the flume is amazing. It had to have been dangerous, and most likely slow and laborious. I can only imagine workers had to have been lowered halfway down the cliff from above. The work that people will go through for gold! Fantasy Canyon might be the most amazing under the radar place in the west that I've never heard of until today. Thanks for another great Saturday morning video, Tristan.

[@Jim-hr1ky]

I loved the Fantasy Canyon. So unique.

[@SUVRVing]

Fantasy Canyon really is a neat place. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks Rick.

[@websterbarstone]

I recently came across a book called Bizarre Colorado. Not surprisingly, there was a chapter on the San Miguel Flume, "one of the most spectacular engineering feats in the history of Colorado." The gold that came out at the end of the flume was "such a fine powder that it washed right through the sluice and remained suspended in the water. It became clear that the entire investment in the flume was lost. Col. Turner [the head of the endeavor] became so disheartened over the complete failure of the project that he went to Chicago, rented a room, and shot himself through the head."

[@Ddax-td7qy]

As a California native, as soon as he showed the struts, I yelled, it's a flume! But what a flume! Then I've had some thoughts, how many of his viewers know even the word? So, educational. Brilliant!

[@Ddax-td7qy]

What a terrible history. As a California native with parents interested in the mining and general water transportation history, I instantly identified those struts as base for a flume. An epic flume, indeed! So sad it was an epic "boondoggle!"@@websterbarstone

[@bettybrigance6784]

Oh the places you take us....thanks for this one, have a restful dat today, take care

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Betty!

[@tquist61]

It's amazing how many unique and interesting places you find! Thanks for sharing your travels Tristan!

[@royalmorehead2110]

Thank you for posting the videos. My wife and I enjoy these very much!!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@JohnSmith-ef2sp]

Enjoyed this video. You seemed more relaxed. Most of the videos you seem in a rush to try and get from one adventure to the next. You are a young man, slow down and enjoy the moments, appreciate where you are, alot of us will never be able to enjoy what you are doing, seeing and sensing. Happy trails.

[@SUVRVing]

When I'm rushed, it's because I'm just excited to get on to the next thing 😁 Thanks John!

[@JohnSmith-ef2sp]

I understand. Take care.

[@markgraham218]

I'm developing a habit of Saturday morning coffee with Tristan's adventures. Thanks for sharing another great video and more sites to explore.

[@robertross2596]

Me three!

[@SUVRVing]

I endorse this habit!

[@angel444ful]

When you were walking up around the weird rocks, you looked like you were on a different planet! Wow!!! Loved it! Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@SUVRVing]

It definitely had that vibe to it. A weird but beautiful place!

[@RicG.]

Very nice drone footage of the flume! 👍 😎

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks!

[@kellyjohnson3617]

There was a wooden flume like that in northern CA that initially was for the gold mines but eventually ended up being used for about 150 years for the farms to bring water. But it was destroyed in the Camp Fire that took out the town of Paradise. Really hit the farmers hard. Those things were well made.

[@beach3girl459]

Thanks for sharing your gloriously unique finds

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for watching!

[@randallhughes3062]

I have followed you for years and for me this is one of the most interesting videos. I have lived in Denver metro for a couple of years and did not know these places existed! We are going to Moab area in a few days, but this is next on my list. And since I can no longer do long hikes, its perfect, and since its not a NP , I can bring my dog. Thanks for the effort to go to these out of the way places!

[@SUVRVing]

That's great to hear! Thanks for watching, Randall 👍

[@krisg3984]

All good perks

[@chuckborghoff8443]

One of our favorite rock art sites is Sego Canyon, north of Moab. The entire canyon is an amazing place.

[@mpgibson6342]

Really enjoying your videos!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks! 😁

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Loved the Rock Art and the Wild Horses and the BLUE SKY!❤️😀🇺🇸🚙🌏🐗

[@jazziered142]

Drones have really changed the way we can see our world. It's amazing.

[@detouringwithdonna]

I always appreciate the detail, quality photography, and research that you put into your location-based videos, Tristin.

[@bikingviking6688]

For your ventilation, could you do something with a pool noodle like slitting it down the middle longways and snapping it on the bottom or sides of your back window so when you close it, it will stay partially open while still keeping out the water?

[@cathystewart2268]

I love my Napier Sportz Cove for camping. Small size, sets up quick. Keeps out rain and bugs.

[@saginawdan]

For me, the highlight of this video is the total lack of people. Knowing that there are places like this gives me faith that we haven't overran the entire West (yet). Thanks Tristan! 😎

[@SUVRVing]

There are plenty of places out here with no crowds!

[@pixelpeter3883]

Fantasy Canyon looks like a place I could wander around for hours taking pictures; love the 'modern art' look time and weathering have done to the rock, which is pretty soft I presume. Changing shadows will make it look different on different times. Love places like that! It kinda reminds me of a more intricate version of Goblin Valley, also one of my favs to explore :-)

[@PanzerBuyer]

Looked like a mud volcano to me.

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, I thought about Goblin Valley while I was there too. Definitely a similar sort of feel, but the formations in Goblin Valley are much more rounded.

[@virginiaallen4723]

These videos are one thing that I look forward to every week. I have seen the flume and ridden that road to Grand Junction. I love that area. Fantasy Canyon is great. Thank you.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Virginia! I appreciate the kind words 😁

[@michaelshuman3319]

Fabulous vlog , so laid back and easy , no rush . That little campsite at the confluence of those 2 rivers looks like a spot that you should spend a coupla days exploring the canyon and exploring the waters with your longer Tenkara rods . SAFE TRAVELS 2 U

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Michael! And I agree, the area deserves more time dedicated to exploring. I actually had a couple other things planned in the area but wasn't able to do them on this trip due to river conditions. Stay tuned!

[@kimberlyphillips372]

Thanks! Iso love your travels, and the vids just keep getting better and better! You gave me a boost, got me out of the house and into my truck seeing the USA! ❤

[@1020LAStep]

Thanks for taking me along on your adventure - that last place WAS one-of-a-kind.

[@phillipmurrieta1]

Yet another fantastic episode. You are crushing it. Continued success with the channel!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Phil!

[@polymath5119]

Nice video. The flume established a head of water at its end, creating pressure for hydraulic mining. Also, the Sinbad Valley and others in the area are salt valleys. Imagine giant underground salt/gypsum domes being eroded by water, typically in an elongated manner. As the domes collapsed the layers of rock above dropped, creating the surface valleys (Sinbad, Paradox, Big Gypsum, etc.).

[@stevedietrich8936]

That is interesting. Thanks for the information.

[@shaneflickinger]

Wow, that landscape at the end was crazy. Petrified, tortured souls indeed. Thanks for sharing.

[@sallybergfeld3293]

What an amazing video- I love these “out in the middle of nowhere” places that are really so significant! Thank you for your great work.

[@tfcooks]

Hi Tristan. You could make a cover out of a plastic trash bag very easily. Get one of the clear ones (for better light), cut the sides to make a long strip. Drape it over the window and roof, pull it tight and just close the sides into the back door to hold it in place..

[@michelleharrell8452]

Kokopelli I am very familiar with. I love him. He is my symbol of the West.

[@Chricke87]

Thanks for all the effort you put in to these videos

[@SUVRVing]

I'll keep doing it as long as people keep watching!

[@michelleharrell8452]

Those weird shapes of grey shapes of rock. Very different but exotic.

[@alvenatgolden1781]

Thanks You for sharing this it was very interesting. Glad you went off of your schedule to those off. Beat Treasures the grey rock formations were my favorite.

[@martinforrester8249]

Great video Tristan, thankyou for showing areas I would have never seen. That hanging flume must have been a real challenge to build back in the day. Having spent a lot of time exploring in the Southwest for many years, Kokopelli has special meaning for me. As a result, I had him tattooed onto my right arm, also I have a number of T shirts with him on cheekily playing his flute. As you say, he is a deity within a number of first nation people. He represents good fortune for growth, both human fertility and crops. Oldtimer Englishman no longer able to travel to my favourite Southwest, but reliving trips through your videos.

[@normawingo5116]

That water system carrying water uphill with no pump is also in Strawberry, Arizona, on the north face of the clear creek canyon at the East end of the canyon by Al Capone hideout cave house. It’s beautiful and still working. It was built by Italian craftsman imported to USA for that specific job.

[@antonboldsword3770]

That's interesting... I slept in Strawberry, AZ around 16 years ago after driving up US191 from Clifton, AZ to close to Show Low and happen to be an Italian from south Louisiana that slept there. Pretty town. Then off to Grand Canyon, Glen Canyon and around southern Utah from there. I thought Strawberry was a nice area that I'd like to pass through again.

[@oldmanronerickson2221]

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Kathleen!

[@itchingtogo7362]

Again…LOVE learning of those unique places!!

[@StanParker99]

Enjoyed this video, mostly because I've been to all those locations when I lived in Montrose, except I never went down into Dolores Canyon or the egg-shaped one. Not sure how I overlooked them. There are several plateaus near Rangely where wild horses can be found. You should explore Escalante and Dominguez Canyons off US 550 south of Grand Junction, some interesting things there. Also, north of Debeque is an interesting road that passes a mini-Bryce kind of formation, and again wild horses.

[@SUVRVing]

I've done some hiking in the Dominguez-Escalante Canyons area but haven't spent a ton of time there. I'll have to go research the De Beque area more. Thanks for the tip!

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

I didn't see Fantisy canyon last fall. I fished that area of Colorado and did a few trails and as many petroglyph sites as possible. What an interesting and beautiful area ! I woke up at Hitetite or something, an old homestead and currently a boat launch and campground on Colorado. That was an amazing wake up. Arrived 10 pmish. Dark and tired. I don't have better or fans, yet that was an unexpected pleasure!

[@sonnyblu6299]

This is AWESOME!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks!

[@XAlpineSuptDN]

Hey Tristan that Sinbad Valley is right next to Sewemup Mesa. From your blue dot to the right (east and southeast) and up over that big cliff wall. Called that because cattle rustlers used to bring cattle up there and cut the brands out and then “sewemup again” I fought two different wildfires up on Sewemup Mesa and we camped down in that valley below it. We’d fly via helicopter up to the fire because there is a huge escarpment along that wall. There is a trail somewhere off the southern end of that valley that goes up top to Sewemup Mesa and Sinbad Ridge. It’s really cool up on Sewemup Mesa because of the groves of Ponderosa Pine and all this open and pockmarked sandstone slabs. It’s really rough terrain. So rough that the Smokejumpers didn’t want to jump that spot because of all the potholes in the rock. Very cool place to go up to sometime. We spent a bunch of time fighting those fires running retardant and bucket drops and digging line to contain it to the rock.

[@jeffMinnesota952]

Enjoyed the drone footage, and the tortured rocks, The Hidden World valley, that does look like an unusual shaped valley, looks like a nice area to visit, thanks for sharing Tristan...

[@TheDenisedrake]

For the rain tarps, consider anchoring them down with strong magnets on the outside of the suv. It's a simple, easy and inexpensive solution. You can also move them to different locations to block the sun etc. We use magnets for all types of solutions in ours.

[@SUVRVing]

I've tried using magnets for tarps in the past, but strong wind was enough to move them around. Maybe I just need more or stronger magnets! Thanks Denise.

[@TheDenisedrake]

@@SUVRVing Amazon has some terrific very strong magnets. Like the smaller Neodymium Fishing magnets.

[@campingalan]

Hello Tristan! Woo hoo….my stomping grounds! We live in Ouray, but own acreage in the Paradox Valley. If you are still in the area, Cashin Mine is worth an exploration. It is on All Trails. It is on the switchbacks on the western end of the Paradox Valley as you are climbing up onto the La Sal Plateau. Ha…my mother in law, when she was in grade school, used to live in Sinbad Valley in a tent for the summers, with her brother and sister, while her dad worked the uranium mines. Safe travels!

[@TheCabrooster11]

The best thing about your channel and content is that you search for and take us to the less visited places or the slightly different trails to the popular places, and I totally get the desire to see fewer people when in the great outdoors

[@laurapope3685]

That was a super cool video! I don't normally watch videos like this but I'm glad I decided to give this one a try!

[@billkipper3264]

You are right on the edge of my stomping grounds in the Vernal/ Dinosaur/Rangely/Meeker area. I've never heard of Fantasy Canyon though which kind of blows me away. Guess I gotta add that to the list. Very interested in seeing where you are in the next video.

[@antonboldsword3770]

I drove from Rifle to Rangely, Dinosaur & Vernal 21 years ago from south Louisiana... I took a road from Rio Blanco to White River City called Piceance Rd & the first 20 miles or so going up it toward the northwest was a strange looking unique area from the other areas hundreds of miles around, with a different color scheme all around. I'm curious if you know where I'm talking about & you know of any other interesting areas around there - or could tell me if I just caught it looking unique in a short season change or something. Or if I'm blowing it out of proportion in my own mind?

[@secondact7151]

My suburban seals have dried out and have various leaks. I took a special glue and was able to stop most of them. The in channel window guards cover those gaps much better. You could see two pieces of canvas about four inches by the width of the window with some magnets. Easy on and easy off for rain cover.

[@jewely461]

My favorite part was the weird rocks and more the wild horses.

Sinbad Canyon is one of many salt anticlines in the region stretching from Naturita, CO Paradox Valley to the Moab anticline. The salt was deposited in a landlocked sea that kept evaporating over 60 times because of the repeated ice ages 300 million years ago.

It hangs on the bottom of a cup board🤗 and only goes to 120 but does drop alittle further. I have learned to deal with it. Maybe this is the summer Someone will fix my R.V.

Wow painted and fantasy canyons cool

[@johnchedsey1306]

Fun to see a video where I've also been to each of these spots. A good friend lives in Naturita so we drove along the river to that confluence last fall. Gorgeous drive. Plus the drive from Naturita to Gateway is great fun if you have a sporty type car that hugs curves. Canyon Pintado was such a delight as I had no idea about it until I stopped for a nap and my travel buddy read the sign about it at the south end. We hit up about six or seven of the sites along the way. And of course, Fantasy Canyon is unreal and insane. It is slightly out of the way, but if you're already planning a trip to Dinosaur National Monument, it's just a 45 minute drive south from Vernal. Totally worth it and especially around sunset.

[@teslah2997]

[@tahonapfeiffer1872]

Try in-channel rain deflectors on your vehicle windows. They sit lower and protect better then the ones that go on the outside. And generally look a lot nicer.

[@SUVRVing]

I've used them in the past and don't like them because they don't stay in/on as well.

[@freewill1114]

On your car windows, it looks like you could put one of those front window deflectors on the rear door window- use the one from the other side. You may have to buy another complete set in order to get the extra ones.

Tristan Preservation tape come in wide widths. Perhaps a strip over the top of the back window might cover the light gap and help out. Not that you would, but it can stay on paint for 6 months and be removed without damaging your paint. I carry a roll with me for emergency sealing. Enjoy the video. The flume was cool

[@stevedietrich8936]

Lots of unique things on this video Tristan. Building that flume 140 years ago must have been an immense chore. Amazing that it is still partially standing. Fantasy Canyon is bonkers. I've been in the Craig area and never even heard of the place until your video. On the list!
