Thanks so much Russ, for taking us along for the ride.

I am an 8 generation Utah native. When you say it is a land of stunning beauty I can not agree more.

[@melissasalasblair5273]

Absolutely gorgeous there!!

[@ronaldwinfield307]

@@melissasalasblair5273 You should see the Northern Half of the state.

[@ronaldwinfield307]

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Beautiful! You're absolutely right, picture postcard perfect!

[@rvertv]

Glad you think so!

[@walterbright1396]

Love Moab and the surrounding area. There is something special about it. Been going there since the mid 1970s. It was down on its luck then. Glad it’s doing better now. Nice people. Interesting history too. Love Island in the Sky and Needles. I stay at Willow Flats if available and Squaw Flat. No internet. Gorgeous night sky.

[@janeburton7647]

Hi - Appreciate your video. My brother moved to the USA many years ago. After living in Los Angeles for several years - he ended up being a bus driver doing tours out of Las Vegas into Utah and Colorado. He passed away some years ago - but your video shows what he and his tourists saw on his bus trips into Utah. He loved the desert plus the States he toured. Through your video - I can see why. Thanks very much. Just a Canuck 🇨🇦

[@susanboatman7913]

Utah is such a gorgeous state. Thanks Russ.

[@larryhinze1617]

Imagine how nice it would be if we could get the LSD Church out of it's politics.

[@kenogster3059]

A good rain always cleans things up and it all seems new again.

[@utahasweseeit]

I recently spent a month boon docking around Moab. One of my favorite places to visit. Having the time to see the sun rise and set in the Moab area is a blessing. Thank you for the ride.

Just found your channel and wanted to say thank you for the great videos. I went all through Utah just a few years ago with my wife and our wonderful dog.. This year I lost both of them suddenly just a few months apart. Your videos brought back many wonderful memories. Thank you.

[@Chrigu68]

We visited Moab this September during our 4 month roadtrip😍 Its a very nice small town, nice peoples, and the Arches NP is sooo wondeful and amazing! We loved to be there🥰

[@rogerblack6270]

Moab is super cool and beautiful place. I was fortunate to visit back in the summer with my family

[@lizhuffman5537]

I absolutely love sitting in the passenger seat and seeing this beautiful country with you Russ.

Hey Russ!!! "MAGIC of VIDEO" your in "QUARTZSITE " we are "WATCHING" Utah!!

[@carolsmith5531]

Thank you again for allowing us to travel with you!!!

[@JamesSmith-uc8tk]

I was there in April for the first time. Other than some very light drizzle one day, the weather was perfection. Stayed at a small campground just south of town across the county line. Rented Jeeps for a couple days, ran Hells Revenge, and Fins N Things one day, then explored Gemini Bridges, Long Canyon Road, and Onion Creek another day. Spent most of a day wandering around Arches NP. Took the Canyonlands By Night boat tour. And just spent time in the town. I hope I can come back someday. It's such a beautiful area and SO much different than anything I've seen or like the very ordinary place I live.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Amazingly beautiful ride. Tons of scenery. Those clouds at 14:00 looked like you could reach up and touch them. Thank you. 🙂👍

[@ramontoro]

Moab is very interesting, I have been there in 2021 ,and road 128 it’s beautiful, thanks Russ for your travels

[@richardl.7390]

MOAB, what a marvelous little town. In 2018 I spent 4 days exploring Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and I always spent a couple of hours resting and eating supper in town before returning to my Nat'l Park campsites for the sunset. There is everything a traveler might need there. Nice memories and magnificent video, as only you know how to make. RICHARD

[@faithbahadurian46]

Wow, glad I came across this, I haven't been to Moab since 1985. Big changes but the stunning scenery is unchanged. Thank you!

[@terrian1679]

Russ enjoy with your calm voice often with my meals . Moab is the most iconic Mountain Bike destination . Since that time it is Off Road grown

[@brucereinhart77]

Thanks Russ! This past June my brother and I went from Moab down Rt.191 to Cortez, Co. then on to Mesa Verde. Beautiful scenery!!

[@annettehambler-pruden6682]

SO MANY MOVIES MADE AROUND THERE. ONE RESTAURANT WE WERE IN HAD PICS OF SO MANY MOVIE STARS ON THE WALLS

I’ve been to Moab several times. Backwards clock at the Diner is hilarious.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Wonderful scenery! I know it’s hard to film when it’s raining but personally I love rain! If I was in the van at night I would love the rain! Good sleeping! Can’t wait for more scenery ahead! Keep on trucking Russ!!❤️😀🚙🌄

[@lesliegriffith9830]

Thank you soooo much for this video. My mother and I went to Arches and stayed at your KOA but stayed in one of the Camping Cabins back in the mid 90's. 4 years ago my sister, brother and I stayed at the Quality Inn that I saw you pass and went to Arches. And just last July the 3 of us went again to Arches but was too packed to get in. Went along that canyon from Moab to I70. Fabulous! Thank you for the memories!💖

Hey Russ, loved this video! We went to Moab in April 2021 and stayed at the KOA, beautiful views, nice campground too. We did stop at the Hole In The Rock, yeah tourist trap but interesting. I watched your previous video and we decided to take route 128, beautiful drive! We've gone a few places we probably wouldn't have gone if I hadn't watched your videos. Tks!

[@jamosgarage9006]

Moab is pretty. Highway 128, Cisco, Utah, Thompson, Utah and Sego Canyon are so cool.

[@justlookin3]

I love Moab. We stayed in an RV park in the middle of town across from the Moab brewery. Beautiful. Plus easy to go to Arches and Dead Horse etc. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnlenart597]

Good to see greenery and rain in the desert. Even The Hole in the Wall was beautiful. Landscape vistas can't be beat in Utah. The tourist traps were along Rt 66 in my opinion. I always loved the Tourist Trap.!! 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@rvertv]

I totally agree!

Muchas gracias Russ. My Google Map had a bunch of little green flags marking all of the scouting you've done for me. I'm 70 and I hope I can get to them all. But keep cranking them out in case the big man upstairs gives me some extra time.

[@frankschramm1007]

I just spent eight years in Moab. You zoomed through town so quick you missed all the beauty. Next time you drive through, turn left or right. Man, you issued everything.

[@Dedhedted71]

Hi Russ! I once drove from Grand Junction to Durango on route 141. You seriously need to take that drive. Scenic from start to finish. Would love to see you film that and see your reaction. Happy trails buddy.

[@tracyparker5603]

Hi Russ, I always wondered what Moab looked like, thank you for the video. I have been to Zion but unfortunately that's the only place in Utah I have been. Definitely on my list to see all the Parks. My daughter lives in Carbondale Colorado. She occasionally goes to Moab with her friends on weekends to mountain bike. They love it! Thank you for the video!

[@terrywagner7551]

Yeah you’re right it is a beautiful ride up through there was there in 2018 and two nights that was one of my stays as I drove up through Idaho go into Yellowstone from the West

[@TheDmac66]

I just took that route, north to south, first week in October. Moab was hoppin! Long line at canyon lands and arches but well worth it.

[@lizjulio3047]

I was there several times in the early 80s ,it wasn't much. But what I see in these post ,it doesn't surprise me.

[@maryestes442]

I love it! I'm a small town girl and I've been wanting to move there so bad for so long because 1. I was raised in Fruita Co. And for 2. It's kinda close to the Colorado State line. Just haven't gotten hubby to budge yet

[@backcountryboondockers]

We've been hanging around that area for 4 years. Love it. Lived in junction sense 98. And in early 70s. Got pics going over dewy bridge. The back county in the western slope is amazing

[@walterbright1396]

In 1977. I drove my 5,000 pound Thunderbird across it. Very strange and a little unnerving to see a bridge shift and wiggle as you drive across it. I Frequently walk across the Ben Franklin Bridge to Philadelphia. When a commuter train crosses it underneath the walkway you don’t feel hardly anything. It was a tragedy that the Dewey burned down.

[@MrBoondocker247]

Russ, one of these days we are going to have to get you north of the 49 to Radium Hot Springs any then north on the Icefield Highway to Jasper Alberta Canada so you can see real beautiful mountains.

[@larryfisher5796]

I used to live in SALT LAKE CITY. My wife and I used to go to Moab two or three times a year loved it beautiful beautiful country Miss it.

[@seymourrivers6169]

Thank you Russ. I enjoyed this episode 🎄

[@bobrouse8634]

Been twice First time came from the north from I-70 E onto the 191 and stayed at the KOA in the cabin. Enjoyed it as the cabin had the amenities of a hotel room. Second time, came in from I-70 W from Colorado and got off and explored Cisco. Then I took the road along the back side of Arches. Most scenic route I have driven.

[@brindahoward4527]

Wow. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@davidlewis6670]

Really pretty little town.

[@doingitwithnothing]

We stayed at this KOA in June 2017 in a tent so many memories

[@skyebird3933]

Wow! Just, wow!

You’d remember Moab better if you walk it. Nice town to walk thru.

[@crookedbird6589]

Love both of these drives.

[@lennardperry5184]

If you have never heard of a guy named Edward Abbey you should check him out. He was an American author who wrote a lot of stories about the desert in Utah. Highly recommend it.

[@genejohnson3391]

Beautiful. Try Canyonlands just out of Monticello

[@chrisbayridge23]

I was there in June had a great time off roading in a Jeep Rubicon rental

[@JamesBrown-ux9ds]

Lebanon, located at the eastside of the mediterranean sea, gets snow in winter as well, although, may we say, to a certain extend just a western part of the great syrian desert? And of course thank you for taking us, the sky in this video in particular looked so very interesting and brillant!

[@kmc1steelers998]

Its a beautiful place but the expenses there is RIDICULOUS. I truly was not impressed with the cost. However, I loved Monticello and surrounding areas with a great small town feel and plenty of hiking and things to do border line of Colorado. Love that area.

[@pingislife2653]

Thank you sir for sharing!

[@class5bodyworks]

My wife and i just spent a week here for our 25th anniversary. We've never been but we'll definitely return. We stayed outdoors most of the time. So much to do and explore. The town kind of reminded us of a moredown to earth Sedona. Most stores are within walking distance. You can hike for miles here. You definitely need to see the night sky. Between 10 and 2 is the dark skies,in late May anyway. Unfortunately, one of our tour guides told us he couldn't find a decent house for under 300k now. He said about 7 people share a house and split expenses. I guess thats the down side of a growing town or city.

[@ccjensen4670]

My father mined uranium near Moab in the early fifties Worked several small claims and struck the claim along with my mom's cousin for the Lisbon Valley Rio algum mine. Was mined many years..largest strike on the Western Slope. Refinery for the western slope of the Rockies was built at this mine...all that is left is three small lakes.

[@pastorarzaba2215]

Hey Russ! Thank you for your videos! You actually inspierd Me and my son to take a trip down to Mexican hat. We live in SLC and passed by Hole n' the Rock. It's an actual home that was built into the rock that is now an attraction. You can take a 12 minute tour through the inside and learn about the couple who made it. We think you would love it if you get a chance to check it out. Thanks so much again!

[@thirtina1]

I was living and working at the koa when you made this!!

Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Australi.

[@fastmtnbiker]

August is NOT a busy time of year. Not sure what time you rolled into town in this video, but you had pretty much zero traffic to deal with compared to what we see in March/April and Sept/Oct. You gotta be crazy to come through here in July and August due to the killer heat. You also gotta be crazy to come through here when it's the busy time of year due to the number of visitors.

[@richardross3172]

Had dreams of retiring in Moab. Didn’t accumulate enough $$$$😢

[@Clawson_customs]

I live 2 hours north of moab and I drive my old hot rod to moab every spring for their car show it's a huge show tons of fun

[@SenatorBulworth]

Does that "formation" at the intro have a name?

[@charleshicks3492]

Been more than 4 decades since I was thru there; I think Moab only had 1signal then.😎😎😎😎😎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love Moab ! And I happen to be wearing my #GabbyPetitoFoundation shirt right now

[@majorbuzz]

Hoping that you will have stopped at the site of the Dewey Bridge and then into the town (ghost town?) of Cisco, Utah along your way to I-70. I walked across the Dewey Bridge a few years before it was destroyed by a fire. A family trip south from I-70 to Moab was interrupted in Cisco UT in the summer of 1970 because of the filming of the climax of the cult classic movie, Vanishing Point.

[@SPak-rt2gb]

I was wondering what? You were in Quartzite for the Christmas parade now you're back in Utah, then you mentioned bonus footage from August, then it made sense. I'm gonna stick out winter this year in the chilly Owens Valley Calif. All depends on the weather. Safe Travels.

[@nate9198]

There's nothing quite like the freedom and adventure of the open road in places like this in America. Some of my family in the UK say they don't have any reason to come here and I think its really unfortunate for them thinking like that, they are missing out on these natural wonders. I've driven through parts of the South West US including in Page Arizona, Zion in Utah and parts of route 66. I can say that there is nothing comparable in Europe like this, the landscape is stunning and in places other worldly. I have yet to experience the majestic scenery in other states like Montana and Wyoming (home of Yellowstone), that's next on my list!

[@rickcrippen5180]

RUSS- Have you ever considered taking a trip the full length of US 191. It goes all the way from Canada (Montana) to Mexico (Douglas, Arizona). North to south through the Rocky Mts.

[@jrcimini]

One of my nephews loves Moab. He intends to retire there.

[@sharewin6445]

My husband and I took this road trip in 2019. We love Utah! So many beautiful sites!! I noticed the gas prices - $5.09/gal! Here in West Tennessee, near Memphis locally gas is as low as $2.99/gal. Update: I just checked Sam’s club at the Wolfchase area of Memphis, regular is $2.39/gal! What a difference!!

[@phillipstephenson455]

It was 2018 last time we were there looks like there's more to it

Did you go to the Navajo national monument UT or Navajo mountain UT
