The 10,500 Square Miles That No One Talks About! (SUV Camping/Vanlife Adventures)

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for watching, everyone! 🙂 Do you have any fun travel plans for the next couple weeks? -Tristan

[@jackpearson1110]

Just returned yesterday from Arches Nat Park. First time, so I'm still on cloud nine. Back home in Rock Springs, until next week. Then a few days camping at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The history of the Land Speed Record is there. Will "Speed Demon" be the first to break the 500 MPH barrier? I guess I'll see! This video was special for me. My new home.

[@mrs.seaturtle66allen78]

Just hiked into the Pioneers where you where last year I believe.

[@Ostrom38]

Just got home from Harper's Ferry, WV for a work trip. That area is gorgeous in West Virginia's Eastern panhandle. It has a tri point too, right on the Potomac River with Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. The area is gorgeous and has a ton of history. I want to go back!

[@yuccavalleynan2074]

Roadtrip to Flagstaff from the high desert of southern CA this week - will see lots of natural beauty 🥾, weather permitting ☀️

[@mratliff1277]

“This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears, all nature sings and ‘round me rings the music of the spheres!” Thank you, Tristan, for sharing your wonderful adventures and God’s awe-inspiring landscapes!

Maltbie D Babcock, excellent reference

[@Forty_DS]

Tristan, I very much enjoy your videos and seeing these remote places that many can't access. But I have a request for the viewer's benefit: When you are at a place like the three corners or the dunes, please stop and show the information signs for two seconds. That way, a viewer can freeze the video and read the information if they want to. Thanks!

[@SUVRVing]

You can pause it at 2:35 and read it 👍 There is also a picture here: www.usends.com/co-ut-wy.html

[@Forty_DS]

@@SUVRVing Thank you. I couldn't quite make it out with these old eyes, but the website is full of interesting bits of information! Cool bit of American history. Cheers!

[@everready19373]

You can put the coordinates into Google maps too.

[@turkey4957]

⁠@@SUVRVingyou cannot read that reasonably when pausing at 2:35 dude and I’m 28 years old with perfect eyesight 😂

[@jimthompson717]

Your videos are beautiful. Inspiring.

[@Master-Blaster-4x4]

we have old land cruiser and there is full time 4wd which is easier to drive without binding and then there is standard 4wd which is usually activated by a button, you don't need to go from fulltime 4wd which is distributing power 80/20 to 4 low, you can go to standard 4wd which is 50/50 power to front and back...tristan look for that 'button' to engage normal 4wd power ratio to 50/50

[@joedadbod8450]

Lamproite is the material that the diamonds are formed in at The Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas (the only diamond mine in the world that's pen to the public to come and dig your own diamonds). The lamproite diamonds are roughly 30% harder than the kimberlite diamonds you find at other volcanic areas. Too bad it's sectioned off...I would love to prospect some in that area and do some rockhounding. Beautiful footage, as always. Thanks for the fun adventure.

[@blusnuby2]

What i ((appreciate)) the most about your videos, Tristan, is all the time, gas & physical energy it takes for you to set-up your camera(s) for the shots of you driving or hiking by, then having to back-track to gather it all up ! All that effort surely does make for (more) interesting content. Also: fly the drone as much as possible when no one is around ! Pretty sure the critters don`t mind a brief fly-by & probably regard it as just a big insect....THANKS so much !

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy them!

[@WyomingTraveler]

I live in Laramie county Wyoming and have explored a lot of the eastern part of the state. Your video encourages me to get out and see more of Wyoming.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

I enjoy your videos. I have been there, I know the wind. Last time I was though there going north from Ft Colln ,Colorado then west to drop down into Salt Lake.. I nearly ran out of gas in spite of a full tank. The wind dropped my MPG down by half. Keep that in mind. Incidentally I drove non stop (except for fuel and pit stops) all the way to Monterey Ca on that trip. 20 Hrs. Thanks... No One.

[@cindi7955]

It is always a joy to tag along with you as you point out such interesting points during the trip. You have a nice 'back yard' 🙂

[@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

Loved the drive up and the music you chose to accompany it, Tristan. Great adventure as always. Wyoming is such a beautiful state that often is overlooked.

[@SUVRVing]

It is indeed! I love it here.

[@AM711]

I wish more you tubers included maps of where they are (the travel ones anyway) thank you. & I'm sure the people who live in these areas like the low population - jealous

[@OspreyFlyer]

I've been to a few "three corners" out west. Some are very remote. I was out there for the remoteness and stopped by the monument for the heck of it. Also did highest points in states back in the day. Some were easy, some were mountaineering, lol.

[@davkatjenn]

It is a beautiful location. We went to Wyoming in 2020 and I was shocked by how much my wife loved it. She is a "beach person" so for her to love Wyoming was saying something. We are looking forward to seeing the state again soon.

[@reidcrosby6241]

Don't forget the Wind River Canyon ..

[@anneli1735]

Dunes ❣️

[@jangreen5549]

You always make such incredible videos, Tristan. So multi-faceted. The hands were fantastic!

[@SUVRVing]

The hands were my favorite part, too. Thanks for watching!

[@Bearbum]

Great video! I lived in Rock Springs from 1981-83 ( attending WWCC). I recently drove through last month. Rock Springs will always be a fond memory in my heart. Although I was lucky to hike up Boars Tusk 40 years ago - I wasn’t able to see a lot of the other sites during my time there .As I drove through last month I realized I missed out on exploring the county - both because of reliable transportation and many of the hiking trails just didn’t exist back then. Thanks for bringing Sweetwater county alive - lots of history and scenery there.

[@adventureseeking]

Tristan, your videos are gorgeous! Love the drone footage. Thank you so much for sharing. Your videos are like mini-movies. You are still my favorite KZbinr. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for the high praise! 😁

[@myjourneysinfaith]

Thank you for showing me the 3 corners area. I love your videos because you take me to places I will never get to. I love the way you show and explain the rock art. ❤ Keep going. 👌

[@shannasteen9644]

Those hand prints were very unique! As always love the drone footage. I need a table top surface...great idea

[@sharondavis8003]

Can see why you & Cassie moved to Wyoming 😮 ❤ Love the dunes, road drives , wild horses & most of all the hand print. That is Unbelievable 😊 So old but yet so modern . Would love a large framed picture of that in my house because I love modern paintings & art. Great trip, Tristan . And more to come next week 😁👍🏻

[@michaelsmith7193]

Your drone footage is absolutely amazing - truly sets the stage and adds dimensions without ever being intrusive. Thanks for another exceptional adventure!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it! The drone is kind of a hassle but is always worth the effort in the end.

[@ceceliaroberts1475]

You never disappoint. Having had lived in SLC, I have traveled to that area. It's like seeing the Grand Canyon, the Rockies, the Redwoods, White Sands or the Pacific Ocean for the first time, breath taking. The vastness of the area is overwhelming. 👍❣😊

[@waymanbell]

I love your videos. This one is special because I lived in Rock Springs then Green River from 1977 - 1982, again from 1987 - 1988, and once again from 2005 - 2010. I worked in the oilfield and had lots of fun on days off roaming, hiking, camping, kayaking, etc. I did climb Boar's Tusk in 1978. Been to the Petroglyphs several times, Lots to explore in Sweetwater Co. Stage Stations, Forts, South Pass City, Atlantic City, Get some Ice Cream in Farson, Pilot Butte, Fontenelle Reservoir, Flaming Gorge, Greys River, Wind Rivers, on and on. My wife and live in Arkansas now and we are planning on heading to Wyoming for a couple of weeks the end of September this year.

[@geomark8851]

I spent a summer living in a trailer at 41.396275°N -108.728462°W in 1972. The northern end of Pine Mountain was our backdrop to the East. I saw numerous antelope and wild horses. I also was hailed on July 4th and the hail turned into a brief snow flurry as the hail chilled the down draft air column. I also saw a long rope-like tornado that travelled east and dissipated over Pine Mountain.

[@peggy011]

My favorite part is the entirety of Sweetwater County! The rock art is amazing and the vastness of the landscape takes my breath away. Thank you for all you do in sharing your vision. No imminent travel plans for me but am I planning a mid October journey to Lake Superior.

[@oelabed1]

I am too old to do what you do. But still watch and enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work

[@jayejeffries8465]

Helluva back yard Tristan! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@richardb.7054]

Wow, the hand and paw imprints are unusual, I've never seen anything like that. Made with tools I think. Very nice.

[@Deanna52ish]

Very cool handprints. There are even more impressive ones in Kodachrome State Park in Utah near Bryce Canyon National Park.

[@carolpadgett8618]

Tristan, thanks so much for inreasing my appreciation & understanding of my home state. I've traveled the extent of Wyoming, but not with the depth of appreciation you offer. Best of luck in all your adventures.

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

I LOVE the Red Desert area. But it's one of, if not the, nastiest, coldest, windiest, and inhospitable areas of Wyoming in winter.

[@loribrasseur4562]

Look forward to your videos each week. So many places I want to visit now! ❤☺️

[@tedpreston4155]

Oh, I look forward to this! The Red Desert is one of my favorite playgrounds!

[@Ellyfromhereandthere]

Its always windy in Wyoming. I had a state tree tshirt that was a power tower. Lol. I lived in Wyoming 78-82. Loved it out there. 🧘🏻🙏🌎☮️

[@berthaduniverse]

One thing I have heard about Wyoming, the wind never ends... Fun installment. Next time, maybe cut a window to show the county outline (lol!).

[@asadventures_moriicoddiwomple]

The rock art and hand prints are amazing. Best I've seen! Thanks for sharing those.

[@jamesschneider3828]

My brother and I went Antelope and deer hunting in that area. We saw a couple of herds of wild Mustangs and had a local friend (from the town of Superior) gave us a nice tour of some of the back country in the area east of Rock Springs.

[@travelswithbenny3328]

Hi! I was camped at Thomas Canyon in Nevada on my way home after staying at Dinosaur National Monument Green River Campground, Crater Lake and Steens Mountain, then Calveras Big Trees near Arnold Ca when I got a flat tire. I have a little plug in air compressor that I used and ended getting the flat fixed. The folks in Rock Springs who fixed it were great!

[@markglessner2886]

Tristan, "howdy" from Casper. I enjoy watching your footage, and re-living my journeys from 40 years ago, with a 35mm film pocket camera, and an FJ-40 Land Cruiser.

[@Mark-cg2bg]

I love this region. I really felt what you said about this is the West you want if you're looking for a place you feel you have all to yourself and can just go out and commune. Beautiful videography as usual, along with the music and excellent narration. Looking forward to the next installment. Be safe and have fun.

[@lmuench7188]

Thanks!

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Loved the Boars Tusk rock and the Sand Dunes!❤️😀🇺🇸🌏🚙

[@natei3518]

I appreciate it when you go on screen, and point out landmarks. I find myself going to the map and 'following along'. Thanks for taking us.

[@evans_swiftie_shirt1730]

My family lives in Maine. We love going out West. When planning our trip, your videos are so great to watch. We use them a lot and they are so useful. You put so much time and effort into them. Your 183K followers is well deserved.

[@WilliamJohnson-g6z]

A very cool place. One of these days I'm going to drive out west. I live in Cleveland Ohio and I am tired of Way too many people. I've got to go out there where I can be free. Thanks for your video.

[@wanderlust62]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Tristan sticks with his Land Cruiser! That was amazing Tristan, I've never seen so many glyphs in one spot! I can imagine, given how people can be, Boar's Tusk was being carelessly explored.

[@geogypsytraveler]

Another great adventure. Love those middle of nowhere spaces.

[@cherylmiller-day5932]

Fun adventure Tristan! Thank you 👍

[@Wellsville101]

Never seen anything like those handprints before! Awesome!

[@imbdileva]

Kodachrome State Park near Cannonville, Utah has hand petroglyphs like you saw there! Must see!

[@seankelly5318]

They look very similar, I wonder if there are other places with them. Thanks for the info.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

I think that deep handprint was formed through the ages by humans over time! Loved Pine Mt.! Love the Land Cruiser!❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🚙🌏

[@RicG.]

The hand imprint indentions were fascinating - my favorite part. Thanks Tristan!

[@jthomashair]

Those handprints in the rock are awe-inspiring indeed

[@charleshicks3492]

Excellent, thanks for taking us along😎⭐️🤩

[@michelleharrell8452]

Sand dunes are fascinating but one can get stuck. I always carry boards in my pickup. 4 wheel may help in some situations but not everything. Boards can save your life. Been there, survived that situation.

[@tomwestbrook]

Wow, thanks! I've been thru Rock Springs to Farson several times and had no clue all this was there. I'll be sure to check it out next time I'm there.

[@barbarajeanne8351]

What a cool map -thank you. 4 within a 2 hr drive for me. New England

[@jc10907Sealy]

Setting up all those video shots climbing the road to the hilltop! Kudos to you and the Forerunner! ❤

[@toddshook1765]

Thanks for showing these locations. You inspire me to get out and check out places like this. I would to Set a goal to see every cross state broader lines or remote roads that cross states.

[@patricktyra7316]

Looks like a place you could file your nails before the big dance at the village over the hill

[@scout437]

This is a great video. I often travel thru Rock Springs on I-80 on my way to Colorado or turning north from there to Cody. Now I will be stopping to explore the area. Thanks, Tristan!

[@RUAChristian]

Favorite part: The handprints. Amazing. Next favorite: Drone footage while the car is in motion. Great video. Love your enthusiasm and articulation. 😊

[@imbdileva]

Kodachrome State Park in Utah has them as well

[@bunchafunk]

Beautiful country! Great for resetting the brain.

[@bkbland1626]

Right on. I hang out in Sweetwater county a lot. Good chilling.

[@leedonehower3112]

Boar's Tusk - at least from a distance - reminds me of Chimney Rock in western Nebraska.

[@chadmoriarity3900]

Was in Wyoming in May by far my favorite state!!!

[@johnmcnulty4425]

Such splendid isolation! Thanks for the tour..

[@xocnibor]

Very enjoyable. My wife and I have been following your videos for some time and find them very informative. Thanks!

[@SUVRVing]

I appreciate you guys watching!

[@unixpro2]

Awesome video highlighting a beautiful and interesting part of our country. Would love to visit sometime

[@Pakka_Telangana2014]

Drone footage is awesome, thanks for sharing. Stay safe!

[@lnbjr7]

Tristan, thank you for taking us with you! A visual delight!

[@krazedkamper]

Such cool spots! Thanks for the beautiful drone video and narrative!

[@granthryze2694]

Went through Rock Springs about a month ago on my way to Bayhorse, Idaho. And was in Encampment a week ago. Live in Colo.

[@alchristensen8121]

Your videos always get me breaking out the maps. :D

[@SUVRVing]

Excellent!

[@davkatjenn]

Even though they were tiny on the video, I loved the pronghorns. Whenever I see them I am always so grateful; they are such beautiful animals. One place we have always been lucky enough to see them is at Fort Union in New Mexico. There seem to always be pronghorns hanging around that area. I think that they just really like the eastern edge of the Rockies where it spills down into the western edge of the Great Plains.

[@SUVRVing]

I love them too. I saw a ton of them (and deer) this day, but they're fast suckers and are hard to get good shots of on camera when you're driving!

[@harlandeke]

We drove down to Rock Springs from Jackson on our way home to Kentucky from our YNP-GTNP trip...I love the place. I told my wife then that I wish we could stay for a week and see everything...Rock Springs itself has a very interesting history. I am so jealous of your life..lol.

[@shilohandme3697]

Great video. I love the road less traveled you explore on your adventures. I love exploring the Dinosaur National Park area. Thanks

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Love your campsite! Love the set up in the Land Cruiser!❤️🇺🇸😀🚙

[@Ostrom38]

I absolutely loved your cinematography in this video, Tristan. Top notch and the scenery was gorgeous! I loved the whole video!

[@lobalopemountainlobster276]

During the pandemic we started hitting the CO corners. We approached the CO/WY/UT tri-corner from the CO side. It was a steep winding road up, and when we were close the road was still snow covered (in july!), so we never made it all the way. Now, I want to go back to finish out the state! Thanks for the video!

[@lbjones8983]

The hand print was amazing!

[@johnnagle8294]

Gorgeous absolutely gorgeous

[@garyschlagel995]

TRISTAN!, YOU MAKE A GREAT TEACHER FOR YOUNG GENERATIONS, TO EXPLORE AMERICA! GREAT VIDEOS, THANKS FOR SHARING!

[@robertphillips3893]

I have driven through that area, but never got to leave the paved roads. It is more interesting than it looks.

[@debrathompson986]

Liked the Native rock art.❤

[@russell2123]

Love the hand prints

[@GrandmaBev64]

From what I understand, those lines represent tallies. The horse above, makes me think they sold, trained or grazed horses/cattle. Where baskets are made, they keep tally that way. I'm thinking these are similar. Have to keep track somehow. The chicken foot scratches, I think are actual writing. I'm checking into that now. Very cool! Love what you do.

[@larrydraper4451]

The teepee glyph looks like the Star Trek Communicator Badge that Kirk and others wore on their chest. Great video.

[@pauldourlet]

Check out Red Gulch on the west side of the Bighorns and Big Horn Canyon Recreational Area

[@terris6322]

Always look forward to starting my Saturday watching your latest adventures! I really enjoyed your video today and seeing an area I've never seen.

[@SUVRVing]

I appreciate you watching!

[@yuccavalleynan2074]

❤❤❤ all the drone coverage! Once again you’ve shown me areas I’ve never seen when traveling in Wyoming. All the rock art was awesome to see . Thanks Tristan ~ looking forward to your next adventure!

[@CH-eg7tg]

Fantastic trip and LRover mt climb⛰️ I was raised in WY. And understand your amazement of the empty vast areas all over the state, but I remember standing there way back when and feeling ...is this all there is...and ran from it out of state ...to many others to see for myself. lol...but seeing your drone shots , pics, and that climb... made me miss it all ! Great videos Tristan , I'm working my way through them. Thank You !!

[@mr.johnson9522]

Not one to watch other's adventures as I do a good job of finding those isolated and obscure spots as well. I enjoy your informative narrative and the fact we both utilize a 100 series Land Cruiser that's well set up, but not overbuilt. I live in the opposite side of the state from you on the border of county 3 and 16. Plenty of opportunity for adventure in all directions for sure. I'll keep watching and enjoying your travels, Cheers!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for watching! Us 100 Series owners gotta stick together 😁

[@lucasb1324]

Good morning! It can't always be fun. You are welcome to tell us about the boring times too! 😒 👨‍🦽

[@kevinbobo2149]

most summers I head out to the Rock Springs area to use as a base for vacation. love the area

[@SUVRVing]

It's a good spot to use as an adventure base, for sure! Thanks for watching.

[@cindynichols27]

You seem so happy in this one. Or happier than usual 😊

[@SUVRVing]

It's fun sharing my backyard with everyone 😁

[@kristinvogt6980]

Great video tour. I love the visual explanations.

[@gerdriechers8426]

One of your best! Great places.

[@timwolfers7880]

T- there is a small book that lists all the tri-point locations, including the submerged ones. It was put together by a man named Jack Parsell, after he visited them all.

[@loucatozzi7656]

Pine Mountain looks like an excellent place to go snow sledding! Combined with a snowmobile it would be an equivilent to heli-skiing!

[@richardingraham6353]

I have been to New York, Vermont. And Massachusetts many times . The 4 corners , Montana. Has a 3 state
