In this week's episode we go from Capitol Reef, up through Cathedral Valley, to Moab, where I take Elizabeth on my favorite trail of all time!

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

The drone footage on Sheaffer trail was amazing! It’s one of my favorite scenic trails!

[@RevereOverland]

Mine too! I could do that same trail every year.

[@myexplorenow]

@@RevereOverland Wow, I can't wait to go do it. The footage is cinematic and just awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@overlandaf_adventures472]

What drone are you using? I am looking at the mini right now. I am liking how your footage turned out.

[@joshuawilliams6321]

What is the name of the trail you took when you said it’s the most scenic and your favorite trail but not the most fun to drive?

[@carrollvoss4611]

I've seen plenty of other film of canyonlands and the same trails/roads, by other Overlanders. none that have shown what you've filmed here. magnificent depth of field, clarity and field of view. aerial views covered the size and scale. nearly all new views of Shafer trail. well framed, superb geo documentation.

[@RevereOverland]

Thank you! It’s a truly beautiful area, and I try and do it justice!

[@boldrbangr9834]

Agreed Sheaffer Trail is amazing! When the passenger's side of my rig was facing the canyon drop off, I almost ended up with my brother in the passenger seat in my lap! Love the drone footage!

[@RevereOverland]

Yeah that’s a big drop off!

[@overlandaf_adventures472]

Had an awesome experience there

[@rguil15]

Awesome camera and drone work and I'm glad you two found each other, seem to be enjoying the experience together.

[@high4travel]

that's beautiful scenery and drone footage. This will be one of checklist to go

[@MD-tr6sh]

I literally just came down from Moab today.. ventured up from Moab through Shafer Trail to Island in the Sky. My son got motion sick, so that was it. After camping up in the Island with heavy winds, trashing my tent and lots of fire ants.. my wife called it quits lol... lightweights!

[@RevereOverland]

It’s an awesome trail. The sickness, tent trashing, and fire ants do not sound like fun though. I’d probably call it quits after all that too. Lol.

[@vince4316]

Great vid/series, Great music and outstanding drone footage. Really cool, loved the deer running up the cliff face!!

[@RevereOverland]

Thank you. When we first saw it, it was right next us, then disappeared off a cliff!

[@BenStinnett]

Another great episode from what's shaping up to be an awesome trip! Definitely making me consider moving some things around to make something similar happen!

[@RevereOverland]

You should definitely go at some point! I know Arizona is having a tough time at the moment though.

[@speterbilt]

Epic video. I got the chills I want to be there on these roads so bad

[@RevereOverland]

You've gotta visit! It's amazing out there.

Incredible footage and scenery! Reliving my trips through Cathedral Valley. I live here and this trip is still inspiring me to go to these places!

[@RevereOverland]

I’m jealous. I’d love to move to Utah!

[@22358]

Beautiful footage!! I want to go back to Utah and have epic road trip!

[@RevereOverland]

Do it! Lol.

We did the same loop June 1st with a Land Cruiser 100, amazing place. Great video

[@RevereOverland]

Nice!

[@cuttercorn]

Love this episode! Especially around 14:15. Two awesome looking 4runners. That was the first trail in ours and I got a bad ass sticker out of the deal! Thanks buddy!

[@RevereOverland]

Haha! Two awesome vehicles! It was good to meet you all.

[@cuttercorn]

Hope we can meet up again and do the desert and lava flows soon! You made Shannon and Remingtons day by mentioning us in the video! Keep up the good work!

[@rshoemaker61]

Another great one. I love Canyonlands have been there 5 times. It also has great backpacking trails. ATB

[@RevereOverland]

I could go back there every year!

Check out the Lightspeed products for your next shower tent.

I agree and I have a Lightspeed 'privacy shelter' and its very well made and sturdy.

Are you from England? My grandfather is from Cromwell, came to America on the Sister ship to the Titanic in 1920. Him , my father and myself love traveling.

@@RevereOverland yes, yes I do. Any idea if a small trailer would fit through there. Geo-Pro 19FB.

Thanks!

[@breyton490]

Hope you load your Moab route to your website. I think its exactly the trip I want to follow.

[@RevereOverland]

I don’t have this exact route through Moab on the website because it doesn’t meet the requirements! I do post everything to Patreon though.

[@ACEventure]

Love your drone footage, I need to make it out to that area.

[@RevereOverland]

You should! It's beautiful there.

[@TheMsnwvu5]

Awesome video. Thanks. We were just there a month ago.

[@RevereOverland]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's a beautiful area!

[@overlandaf_adventures472]

Those snapping bugs we thought sounded like a sprinkler system when we were in Utah

[@RevereOverland]

It took me forever to see the bugs, but we could hear them all around!

[@overlandaf_adventures472]

@@RevereOverland that sound will always remind me of Utah. From 🇨🇦 Ontario.

[@allterrain]

Excellent as always. I know you have the TuffStuff tent, check out their shower/potty ensuite option. Many brands make them.

[@RevereOverland]

Thanks! I've thought about theirs. It's quick, easy, and doesn't take any space in the vehicle! I think I'd have to give up the awning though.

[@tedwarkentin2211]

You mention heading up your favorite trail where you pass through the boulder tunnel. Which trail is that? You mentioned heading back to Moab after that trail on Sheaffer. We were supposed to go in May when weather was awesome, but couldn't for obvious reasons! Rescheduled for September.

[@RevereOverland]

Long Canyon Road. That and Shafer Trail make a great loop that I lumped together as my favorite trail!

[@jackryan9710]

I recognize the Martian theme when i hear it.

[@jgagnon8433]

There's Canyonlands........then there's Canyonlands via the White Rim Trail. Why not drive the WRT? Sure , gotta book campsites 4 months out but well worth the adventure. From Airport to Labyrinth is 50 miles and 7 hours. The experience is transcendental.

[@RevereOverland]

I’m sure it’s a fantastic trail. We didn’t even know we were going on this trip until last minute, so WRT wasn’t an option... and that’s before it was flooded out at the end!

[@llewellyntoth5505]

I believe I can fly, playing in the background

[@RevereOverland]

Lol!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Your drone footage is awesome!! How did you get permission to fly in the national park?

[@RevereOverland]

Thanks. None of the drone footage is from within the national park - the chances of being approved for flying in the park are approximately zero!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Revere Overland makes sense!! Thanks.

[@misplacedoverland]

Epic!!!

[@steveinseattle6952]

I don't see any credits for the music you used in this video. Can you add those?

Saludos desde Chile amigo

[@psk436]

Awesome video. How technical is the Sheaffer trail? Would I have any issues with my stock Tacoma TRD Offroad? or would I need more lift? (overland newbie) Thanks.

[@RevereOverland]

You could do that whole loop without any problems. Cars and vans go up and down Shafer Trail. It’s not technical, just steep!

[@jdgreany]

did you do white rim? Nice drone footage

[@RevereOverland]

We didn't. We unfortunately didn't have time, didn't plan this in advance for permits/camping, and I think it was blocked at the far end anyway!

[@joepalmer75]

What gear were you in driving down Shafer Trail? Someone told be to be in crawl...seemed kind of dramatic.

[@RevereOverland]

I think we were in low range, 2nd or 3rd gear. It's not steep enough to crawl down!

[@joepalmer75]

@@RevereOverland Thanks. Picking up my new 2020 4 Runner Venture next week and will be out to Moab in Sept. Shafer is on my list.

[@henrikm4657]

Fantastic footage! I was just wheeling in Moab in early June. So amazing! As for shower tents, I have a Quick-Pitch En-Suite and like it a lot. They’re expensive though. Tuff-Stuff sells something similar for a lot less. Speaking of Tuff-Stuff, how do you like the Alpha tent so far? I should be getting mine soon.

[@RevereOverland]

Thanks! The Tuff Stuff Alpha is a fantastic tent. You’ll love it! Have you ordered yet? I have 10% off with code RVO10. I’ve been eyeing up the shower tent they have, but I’m not sure about mounting.

[@henrikm4657]

Revere Overland , I ordered the Sierra originally, but the first batch had blemishes, so I decided to wait for the second batch. Then Corona happened, and things got delayed. I also realized that I wanted the larger tent, so I spoke to the folks at Tuff Stuff, and they were kind enough to let me upgrade to the Alpha for a reasonable amount. If all goes well, I should get it in a few weeks. As for the shower thing, I ended up having to fabricate my own custom mounting brackets for my Rhino Pioneer rack. Turned out pretty nice. Happy to share some pics if you have an email address you’re willing to share

[@breyton490]

@@RevereOverland The RVO10 discount code no longer seems to work on any of the TS RTT. Not sure if its because TS has put them on "sale". The prices have certainly gone up from you said you paid for your Alpha. The Alpha may be out of my price range. Would you go with the TF Trailhead or your SmittyBilt if going for soft top RTT? Thanks. Hoping to a similar route in early October.

[@RevereOverland]

breyton490 unfortunately the code only works on things not already on sale. I can’t comment on the quality of the second generation of Smittybilt tents or the Tuff Stuff soft tents, since I’ve never seen either, but based on my experience with both companies I would go Tuff Stuff. Their customer service is a lot easier to get ahold of, and the packaging and delivery of their tents is a lot better. My Smittybilt arrived in a cardboard box and was damaged. The Tuff Stuff came in a wooden crate!

[@RevereOverland]

Henrik M great choice! Has it arrived? I’d like to see how you’ve attached the shower with the RTT.

[@nvaratpoolswasdi5263]

What's a brand and model of drone you used for taking this video? I love it!

[@RevereOverland]

It's a DJI Mavic 2 Pro. I've got all my camera equipment linked at www.revereoverland.com/equipment#camera-video

[@jolly1374]

I got that same shirt lol

[@truecolor6579]

You miss the Strike valley overlook?

[@RevereOverland]

Yes, unfortunately. I knew it existed, but I think we drove right past it!

[@truecolor6579]

@@RevereOverland I drove over and turn around to look for it... it is very easy to miss the turn. The overlook gives you the reason to go back there again. The Overlook give you a chance to see the water pocket fold geologic landform from the top.

[@shouldibehere]

I'm in the market for a shower. What brand is yours...so I don't get that one. lol

[@RevereOverland]

Lol! It was a Flexzion tent. Check out the next couple of episodes - I replaced it with a really good shower tent!

[@ovrlxnd]

We're on our second pop-up shower tent. Nothing went wrong with the first one, I just wanted one with a mesh roof roof instead. I keep looking at some of the hard-mounted shower enclosures, but I don't think they're at a reasonable price point yet. If I had to have one today, tuffstuff4x4.com/products/tuff-stuff%C2%AE-shower-tent is probably what I'd get. An 8x8 awning can be had for less than one of these little showers, so I don't know why they're still so expensive. I think $100 is more realistic, so I've just been sticking with my Wolfwise pop-up and waiting on the price to drop. I don't really like the idea of making a puddle adjacent to the vehicle you'll be getting in and out of, but I love the simplicity of the hard-mounted options. I'll get there someday!

[@RevereOverland]

I’ve thought about the Tuff Stuff. It looks good, and doesn’t take up any space in the vehicle. I’m not sure where it would go though! The awning is in the way!

[@yijunpeng7524]

oh! I'v never really seen this before , god north america is even much more beautiful than africa !

[@almamdani6564]

What’s the name of the first trail going into Canyonlands from Moab ?

[@RevereOverland]

Long Canyon Road or Pucker Pass.

[@luchaDor]

I thought Drone's were prohibited in all National Parks?

[@Rev-rd8ne]

They are. The drone footage is not from inside the park.

[@RevereOverland]

Correct. That’s why I wasn’t able to get drone footage of the switchbacks. As soon as we cross the park boundary I put it up though!

[@luchaDor]

@@RevereOverland Well that's awesome! You never see drone shots from the side like you did, so those were some epic views!

[@genius2000]

how long is the Sheaffer trail?

[@RevereOverland]

I’d guess about 20 miles from Canyonlands to Moab via Shafer Trail.

[@SniperTwin308]

What was the name of your favorite trail?

[@RevereOverland]

It’s the loop that goes up Long Canyon / Pucker Pass, and comes down Shafer Trail.

[@SniperTwin308]

Thanks, I’m planning my trip for next year and the drone footage looked epic!

[@jsoverland]

Great footage and detailed. For your potty/shower tent. I had the same frustration with a similar tent. Then I pulled the trigger on this Cabelas: www.cabelas.com/shop/en/cabelas-easy-up-deluxe-shower-shelter Keep in mind that this will be a bit bigger in size, but it holds up really well with high winds and the quality is great. Works great with the Zodi shower system.
