Into the Awapa

Join us as we take a plunge deep into the Awapa Plateau, a rarely explored and hardly heard of volcanic uplift located west of Capitol Reef, north of Escalante Grand Staircase Monument, and north east of Bryce Canyon National Park.
We also take our Lexus and Jeeps and skirt Boulder Mountain's Aquarius Plateau and head home via the stunning Hell's Backbone Road into Boulder Utah.

Excellent cinematography! Thank you for sharing! Please keep making more and sharing your adventures and explorations!

[@ForgottenWaypoints]

Thanks for watching! It sure is a lot harder to tightly edit a 10-15 minute video than it is to do my shorter 3-7 minute trail reviews! But it's also more rewarding. The hardest part is actually capturing enough B-roll footage with which to make the story!

Spectacular!

[@martinhogan5970]

Loved this! Great editing; well put together and informative🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@mikeoldham]

This area looks awesome. Really loved this video. Great storytelling and some amazing shots. This makes me really want to check this place out.

[@ForgottenWaypoints]

We should! Plenty more around there left untapped. I really want to see how dark the nights are there.

[@miketyler4536]

Well done on the production Brent 👍👍I enjoyed the history lesson behind the video. That’s my favorite part of each trip. Thx again

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Beautiful scenery, awesome story telling, The spectacular views, wildlife, etc... can't say enough positive things about this awesome video. Sometimes not seeing anything for miles and miles, is an adventure within. Thank you for sharing with us all.

[@ForgottenWaypoints]

Awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I was able to convey how cool....yet barren, the place really was.

[@J.Young808]

Kinda cool old style 20 mm film look. I also clicked because the GX in the thumbnail.

[@ForgottenWaypoints]

Thanks! The effect took me awhile to figure out. I appreciate you checking it out. It was definitely a fun weekend excursion.

[@J.Young808]

Forgotten Waypoints ~it looked like a really nice time. Though anytime in nature is good. I can’t get away from populated areas that easy. I live on Oahu which is only 103 miles around.

[@ForgottenWaypoints]

@@J.Young808 ....but you have the ocean!! Yeah, that place was cool because it was empty. I think the entire off road portion of the trip was 100-130 miles. I'll have to go back and check.

[@BackroadExploration]

Wow this was fantastic! I have never heard of this area. Now I have to check it out. Loved this video the flow, shots and storytelling were all awesome!

[@ForgottenWaypoints]

Thanks. There are plenty of routes there to get lost in.....but there is nothing there. I want to camp on that plateau sometime, it's wide open and no trees, the stars at night have to be fantastic.

[@byuftbl]

That’s awesome! It would be fun to do stuff like that one day but I don’t have a proper vehicle for it.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Lexus GX470... But shhh don't tell anyone..

[@ForgottenWaypoints]

Yeah, the GX470 is such an underrated (but no longer, the secret is coming out) rig. It's extremely comfortable for a daily driver and if you just toss high quality tires on it (no need for a lift), the type of terrain you can tackle is good enough for 80% of the explorers. I'm going to be reviewing the GX470, hopefully sometime soon. My wife wants me to replace/fix the cloudy headlights first!

@@Kiss__Kiss the secret ITS OUT! got mine 04 195.000 M. back in December $6000 plus tax and tags! all Lexus records of service log on the official site! you can input your services even from private shops..now days 9 months later you can not find a decent one under 11/12 K.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

@@rambitomone Exactly.. Even when I purchased mine, more than a few years ago, it was way more than yours. Also '04. Of course, it all depends where you live.

[@jaredchiara5221]

The only thing missing from you adventure is a nice gray Tundra.

[@ForgottenWaypoints]

I think you'd have loved it out there.

[@elonramsay2406]

Hey instead of pointing the camera towards you while driving put it in front of car
