This video, shot in 4K using a Panasonic G85 with EVO Rage gimbal and a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone, covers a good length of the Provo River from the headwaters near Mt Baldy to the Jordanelle Reservoir and including the Bridal Veil Falls below the Jordanelle. This video was filmed over a few days in June 2017 and right about the point of highest flows of the Provo River.
The first 3:26 was shot mostly near the top of the Provo River and around the Provo River Falls but includes a scene from Bridal Veil Falls about 45 miles downstream from the Provo River Falls.
Next up is drone footage near the Soapstone Campground which is just about midway up the mountain from Kamas. This segment of the video follows the course of the Provo River as it flows through a beautiful meadows area and west of the Soapstone Campground.
The last segment, also captured by drone, is at the east end of the Jordanelle Reservoir at the point where the Provo River enters the Jordanelle. Most of the boardwalks in this area appear to be taped off owing I would guess to the high water of this years high runoff.
Although Utah is generally thought of as high desert with mostly scrub vegetation when you get up into the mountains and particularly this time of year the landscape is very lush and green -- however, just a bit further down towards the SLC valley area and green turns to brown/grey.
From the valley floor near SLC at about 4250 feet MSL to the pass near Mt. Baldy the elevation increases by more than a mile and the temps in the summertime can be 35F lower at the top. I think I'll do a little tent camping this summer near the Soapstone campground as a way to beat the heat.
