Glad you’re feeling better. It’s so nice to see a couple who truly enjoys each other’s company! Our country is so beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@janrantoo2213]

The red rocks give such a beautiful contrast!

[@gregdawildmanfast5643]

You two look and like your feeling better...awesome.

[@trashman2350]

Love that area, lots of beautiful places and areas around VEGAS ! Stay safe , love the videos.

[@theresaluvspims6163]

I just love your companionship with one another. You laugh together lovely

[@hotsand4u]

Yes, the friendship and romance is both there, so wonderful to see..

[@DeborahTingen]

Thanks for the pictures of the beautiful places in this country, also for the pleasure of your sweet company along the way.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you for watching Debbie. Glad you enjoy.

[@marshachilcote1948]

You two are the cutest couple! I like the way you are so nice to one another.

[@susananderson8995]

Thanks for sharing. My husband went hiking there 11 years ago while on a trip to Vegas. Loved the Red Rock Canyon area and would definitely go back. Enjoy your travels.

[@roadtrippinwithdea7261]

Ok.. I'm keeping track of all these beautiful places! Thank you guys!!! ❤️

[@edbenson98]

Thanks for the info on the Sand Dunes Frozen in Time, it's hard to believe that whole area was under water at one time but after the water receded the sandstone was formed by the shifting sand blown around by the wind.

[@brendawhite6540]

Pretty mountains! Glad u guys are feeling better!

[@rudyecheverria8646]

Beautiful landscape. ☺

[@livelaughloveeveryday4100]

Thank you so much for your beautiful videos. I've lived in the southwest for over 50 years and when I'm driving thru the areas that you've shown - I'm always just driving to get to my location. Next time I'm out on the road I'll slow down and pay better attention Glad to see you both are feeling better. Be safe.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It's worth the slowdown sometimes.

[@zentierra7803]

While I'm *never* going to be a fan of the summertime heat (especially during monsoon!), I truly love the desert in winter. And, no matter what time of year, looking at the landscape is truly magical. This place is incredible! 💛🌵

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Very nice place, we would go back again

[@janicehart5397]

I love Red Rock Canyon. I go there each time I visit Vegas. It's a nice place to get away from the glitz.

[@dreiser92626]

Looks like an ancient ocean. 🏜

[@lhiatt3220]

Hi! thanks so much for your time and effort. I for one would never have been able to see these sights if you didn't video them for all of us! This video is definitely one to come back to many times. thanks for the memories! lol linda in nc

[@joanmilano5302]

I love the cooking videos, and I'm so glad that you guys are feeling better :-) That scenery was amazing! How weird that our country is so vastly different from the east side to the west side!

[@m.d.grimes1622]

We gasp every time you guys stand on cliffs, clearly you have no fear of heights! Thanks for a really fun video.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It wasn't that bad lol

[@MZBRANDIBEAR]

That breakfast burrito looked yummy. When you went thru that area where you couldn't find parking one of the big rocks you showed out the window looked almost like a face. Also liked when you showed up inside of that rock that had a hole in it. Scott scared me when he got so close to the edge. I was like oh please don't fall. This is the kind of video I find interesting because you are showing such interesting places. I had to laugh when the guys were teasing about snakes and scorpions. Yep you would hear me too and I would be gone. Same with spiders. Thanks for the video and the camera work is definitely getting better with two person prespective. 👍

[@sheilareichhart7842]

Beautiful scenery, thanks for taking us along!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you for watching

[@lindaschneidewind8164]

How beautiful. Love the scenery. Thanks for taking us along & breakfast looked awesome

[@sherrydyne]

The canyon was absolutely breathtaking! I enjoyed that immensely. Thank you.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you

[@mikef.2316]

Another great video

[@02rangerdanger]

What a nice video - all the beautiful red rock against that blue sky was amazing!! Thank you guys

[@bentrodsbrs1738]

Beautiful Scenery, Thanks For Taking Us Along. Get Well Soon.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thanks for watching, feeling better,

[@passin.timeintx8571]

Enjoyed this day trip. 😊😃👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@dannyixoye262]

My ole stomping grounds back in the 60's and 70's when I lived there as a kid and young man. All of that Rec set up and parking was not there. Just a dirt road that lead up to the mtns. Went cave and old silver mine exploring and free base mtn climbing there. Also partied there when in high school. Some of that trail you are walking on actually was an old dirt road I drove on back in the day. Sad thing about that area is that in the mid to late 70's when more people began to find out where the old mines and caves were, they didn't respect it and vandalized many until the state had them sealed.I wonder if they still are. Anyway, One time I went up there after I came home from the Army and camped out for some solitude. I drove my truck, a nearly new 1976 Ford Courier, remember those?, on that narly dirt road that takes you over the mtn to Pahrump and got stuck. To get help, I walked back during the night over the desert where you drive that scenic route until I got back to the main road of Charleston Blvd. which is St Rt. 159 on the north side. The south side is known as Blue Diamond Rd. It took about 5 hours. Back then there were packs of wild dogs that roamed the area so I had to be mindful of this. I actually flagged down a person who was driving home in the wee hours of the morning coming from a mine that the minerals used is for making drywall. That mine is still there and can be seen from the paved road that you took leaving Pahrump. You may have seen it when you turned on 159. It was like about 4 to 5 am and they gave me a lift back to the west side of Vegas where there was a 7/11 store. That store was the last building on that road heading to Red Rock at the time. To give you and idea of how Vegas has spread out, the last road off of Charleston on the way to Red Rock, with hardly a house on it was called Rainbow. I called my best friend from the phone booth, woke him up and he came and got me in his 1968 VW Bug and we went out and got my truck unstuck. I left Vegas in Dec. 1981. I went back a couple of years ago to see my sister who lives in Pahrump. I couldn't believe how the whole valley has changed and the tourist trap of Vegas has lead out to Red Rock. I wish to thank you for some fine memories of yester year for me. If you haven't done so, consider taking a drive up to Mt. Charleston. It is north of Vegas on RT. 95. on the way to Reno.There should still be snow there considering it is over 11,000 ft. I got good memories of that place as well. Oh by the way. All those houses you see going back into town is where people used to go to do target shooting.....progress...sometimes it gets in the way of ole times....

[@dennisbeers8946]

great I love to travel with you both

[@JudithBrummett]

I am enjoying seeing the quick fix meals you are doing keep up the good work please!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Will do.

[@barbforbis1260]

The mountains were so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you for going.

[@emileydial5091]

great job thanks for the show

[@tdgarison12]

Oh my goodness!! Be careful near the edge!! That gave me sweaty palms when Scott got so close!

[@MrGruntyPants]

Beautiful! When I saw "Red Rock Canyon" in the description, I was excited that someone else had visited the amazing little gem. But then I realized you were at the National Conservation Area in Nevada, which is completely different that Red Rock Canyon State Park in California (AMAZINGLY Beautiful). Now it looks like Kevin and I need to add a second Red Rock Canyon onto our bucket list.

[@MJ623NY]

Thanks for One of the most beautiful travel vlogs.. right up there with Bex cat-herder and thank you for not doing the highly annoying trendy superfast speed that's visually painful for those of us who are prone to migraines and disallows actually seeing the scenery. why some (like ausia and Carolyn for whatever reason feel it's necessary to do, I guess because it's trendy).

[@cathyann1601]

That place is going on my must-see list! BTW, I love the music!!!!!

[@blighty3248]

Loved your video really Awesome. ...Thanks for taking us along....lol.😃 at Scot being mischievous with his snow balls...take care xx

[@pj9731]

The fossil looked like Snoopy!

[@christybrainard6134]

The scenery was neat and your breakfast looked delicious!

[@ginac7839]

You can also off-road there if you have a Jeep or similar. The route y’all took from Pahrump on 159 usually has some wild burros on the side of the road. I was bummed there weren’t any there for y’all for to see. Enjoying watching y’all visit my city!

[@larrymorris5057]

Love you guys! Please keep showing me things I am not able to see. Thank you!!

[@4dulcelife]

Thanks for the tip about parking there. We plan on visiting sometime this Spring.

[@menofairy]

Beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing! 🤗 from Texas

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you Joan.

[@hotsand4u]

Such amazing beauty, I'm sure the camera doesn't do it justice... I love how there is no trash, seems like everyone respect that... Sad to say in Hawaii we have a lot of trash, the locals grow up seeing there parents do it, so they do it, so very sad as I live in paradise... Aloha.. p.s. that song at the beginning gets me every time , it's so beautiful and fits you both so well, I love your love... Blessings

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Very nice place

[@louisewoodcock3763]

[@knittingnut3331]

As much as I like Red Rock Canyon I think Valley of Fire is even more beautiful. And it has places to boondock!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Good info thanks

[@4blake]

Beautiful! Thanks for taking us along for the ride and good tips. I don't blame Teri a bit about the snakes. I've never run into a scorpion yet. A Mike high is 5280 feet. We're from Denver if that didn't give it away. 😉😎

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Ya Teri hates snakes big time. Mile high 5280' got it thanks

[@rvdavy3288]

Beautiful heading your way back to cold snowy Washington st. Burrrrr!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

No fun, Lol

[@LainieS100]

It's hilarious that when you said it was 35 degrees I though OMG that's hot!! Because 35 in Canada is 95 in USA but 35 in USA is 2 in Canada

[@johnorchard9164]

Still following you guys off on my bonneville now thanks

[@SuperMrgoodwrench]

I was there in late November. Beautiful place. If you haven't, you need to do yourself a favor and go to Valley of Fire State Park, north of Vegas. It is absolutely breathtaking. There is some paid camping that is out of this world!!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Will try to check out thanks

[@MayhemRv]

Darned motorcycle gang! 😄

[@mechrojo]

Hi Guys I've been following your adventures and always enjoy your theme song. It is so beautiful and so so are you lovely people. I would love to do your "Route 66" one time. You have such a beautiful county. Just love your stuff. Regards Rob from Sydney Australia.

[@loobyt8692]

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They are great people

[@RetiredTony]

Beautiful out there! very nice :)

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

😁😁 thanks Tony

[@CITAP1]

It is an interesting area. I was with my older brother 88 so I couldn't hike down into the nooks and crannies area. We were able to walk into the old sandstone quarry and see the old cut blocks and other remnants in the area you couldn't park. Did you catch a glimpse of the wild burros? Take care kidz,,,

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

No burros that day.😂😂

[@jgingram]

I’m so bummed...I haven’t watched videos in a few days and missed you. You’re just a few miles from my home. Sure would have loved to have met up with you guys. 😃👍🏻

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are bummed too, if we had know we would have tried to meet up. Next time around for sure :)

[@racertracer12]

that's red car was a Lamborghini !

[@JW-es5un]

Hope this post finds You both much BETTER. Really like what you have been posting as of lately. Much more interesting that always seeing everyone at a campfire or talking with their mouths full.. Now you made a comment. In the last post. ABOUT having issues in several towns getting PROPANE. You giggled about why.. We use to own an Propane company.. Here is the reason STATIC ELECTRICITY.. Those tanks could blown. They won't fill in the rain LIGHTING hitting tanks & blowing up.. In the dessert real issue..Just thought I would share.. 😇👼🌴🌞 SAFE TRAVELS💖🇺🇸

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you for that info makes sense

[@bevr2164]

Looking forward o the green, rivers, ocean etc in Washington state for summer......you two are good at finding new things to see and show us. Thanks 💕🤗

[@lesliecharbonneau9135]

Glad you are both feeling better. So funny seeing snow and cactus.

[@songsparrowadventures]

AS ALWAYS - Beautiful. Do you think there would be parking spots that would fit a small trailer(13') and van (16')?

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Not sure May Be call the office,I would say to tight.

[@CLBennett57]

Thanks so much for the travel vlogs! Gets kind of redundant all of the campfire vlogs. Glad you guys venture out. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@calicojunctionisclosed]

When I was there it was afternoon 105 degrees and plenty of parking most the parked cars belonged to people climbing the rocks. Not mine.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

To hot for me

[@raydeanfeniuk2168]

Beautiful area...

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Very nice place thanks for watching

[@sandragrissom4802]

Beautiful countryside! Extreme colors.

[@frederickoning191]

Amazing scenery. Your camping spot was just outstanding. What a beautiful part of the world. Another great video! I hope you regain our health soon. The sunshine is bound to help.

[@pupcamper58]

Love your video, beautiful!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Beautiful video, thank you and so glad you are feeling better, Trev 🇬🇧

[@debolsen3294]

Wow those rocks are incredible!

[@scottsimpson1779]

Have you ever been out east, maybe the Appalachian Trail,? Or do you stay on the West Coast? Everyday watch, love you vids, blessings and peace

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We want to travel the US never been to the Appalachian trail some day.

[@vickiwalden]

Always good seeing that cross hanging from rearview mirror. Beautiful scenery. Filmed well, edited well and yeah, that music!!! Nice !

[@tmbuchtel]

Still waiting for the fly ranch....

[@tmbuchtel]

Beautiful county! Scott is (sorta) right. 1 mile = 5280 feet

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I knew I was close thanks

[@norahorne5801]

Where is your little dog when you toured Red Rock caynon? Does she stay in the camper?

[@ernamay]

Glad you are felling better to get back out into this beautiful country to show us more of it's beauty. I guess you call these mountains, or they just piles, huge ones at that. Any way they are so pretty, love how the colors blend together. Really cool.

[@alanlaero]

Not that it matters too much but that was a Lamborghini! lol 😎

[@madmardigan246]

Was that the Sand stone Quarry overlook that you couldn't find a parking spot in ?

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I think so
