The Essential Utah Road Trip: Scenic Byway 12 - S11E10

[@bstargel]

Your Utah videos never get old! Utah just might be the best state in the US! So much to see and do and you never run out of options. Thanks for another awesome video!

[@desertinutah]

I live in the St. George area, and five major parks are right in my backyard. I love the geography/geology of this entire state. It's so beautiful and the geology is unique in the world. I travel the national and state parks continuously throughout every season (except July and August) and never tire of it. I could drive through Zion everyday!

[@MrRobertponcho]

Watching now. I always look forward to Sunday and a new episode. Always rewarding.

[@michelemcdanieltravels]

I am absolutely blown away with the insane beauty featured in this episode! Wow. Just, Wow. The combination of incredible rock formations against picture perfect blue skies, and that waterfall. What a surprising and incredible sight to see! These are the moments to reflect on when things don’t go so right… they certainly outweigh the “crappy” stuff. I never doubt that you will make the most of each adventure and turn every failed attempt, every bad day, every adversity into something that will please the masses and help/benefit others in some way either directly or indirectly. This video is wonderfully made, and proves that you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. I love U-tahhh! It’s got to be one of the most beautiful states in the entire country. Can’t wait to go to this area next summer, it’s on the list! Blessings to you and Ily as you continue to go above and beyond for the greater good. Thank you for ALL you do, and for sacrificing a few bad days in order to bring us the good ones. Those are in the majority… and it’s totally worth it!🤠

[@joycemosakowski3648]

OMG, what a great expedition. Trails to the falls, the formations of the canyons . Beautiful Utah! Your the best Robert.

[@Gail8280]

Beautiful! Thank you. I’m having surgery soon so I’m unable to walk at this time but once recovered, this part of the country is on my bucket list!

[@farmergirljo]

You are such an inspiration. You were such an influence when my late husband and I RVed. Your love of America is contagious. Keep finding those hidden gems for us!

[@BleezyChuckles]

Bryce Canyon is one of my absolute favorite places I have been. With Utah as a whole, in my top three most beautiful states, you can’t go wrong here. Great video as always Sir!

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

Look at all that snow and now you're in the heat in Spain.. Utah is Beautiful!!!!

[@mpower6004]

Gorgeous scenery everywhere you look .

[@jacquelinejackson4067]

I love when you are happy with your surroundings and your achievements. The scenery puts a big smile on your face. I love the beauty of Utah. It looks like you are in Europe! Way to Go Robert! Great Trip!! Congratulations 😊😊😊

[@MaryEmily0818]

Your advice to "Remember to look behind you." has stuck with my husband and me. We just returned from a river cruise through The Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Hungary. While cruising and on walking tours, we often reminded each other to look behind us. And, yes, there were wonderful views back there!

[@stevefowler8660]

Robert this might be your best video. Lower Calf Creek Falls also in my top 5 Utah hikes. Swimming in pool below falls. Refreshing on a hot day. Your drone flight over falls that was awesome.

[@mickster1780]

look up his video on Death Valley. it's right up there with his best videos...imo

[@dilvabresciani5623]

I live in Italy. I was in Utah last October and I feel so nostalgic for that place. ❤

[@mickster1780]

wow that Devil's Garden was pretty awesome!

[@tommyg.9069]

Utah looks beautiful -- it's definitely on my bucket-list.

[@judithshaw890]

A road trip to Utah is on our agenda. Thanks for all of the wonderful insights!

[@Floridiansince94]

It truly seems that all that area was under water like en el diluvio universal del Que nos habla Genesis! Thank you Robert! Excellent video!

[@kevinpedersen6875]

This is one of my favorite roads on a motorcycle.

[@ricknunez7134]

gracias amigo. eres el rey de viajar. Mucho gusto. Thank you my friend. Head on over to Seattle.

[@daneboro6847]

Such a beautiful state, love Utah.

[@keithsmith5998]

I just did the scenic highway 12. Before that, it was scenic highway 14. Cedar City Utah to the US89 junction. We visited Cedar Breaks Nation Monument. A smaller scale of Brice Canyon. We bypassed Bryce Canyon because our destination was Capitol Reef National Park. I was inspired by your previous video about highway 12 Hogback. Quite a site! As a Utah native, I saw things I never knew existed. All because of your inspiration. ¡Gracias Roberto!

[@donnadoll9443]

Wow! Breathtaking! Love exploring with you and Ily. Be safe, Be blessed. 😁👍💜👏👏👏👏

[@tinekedevries2282]

Beautiful video , Amazing. Thank you . ❤

[@orlando6517]

Excelente video. Muy profesional. Gracias

[@calledtojourney]

One of your best episodes, Robert! You've got us ready to head back to southern Utah! It's a spectacular place with so many opportunities for adventure. Nice drone shots at the Hogback!

[@kiethj7]

Robert, you need to come to Washington state and spend a few weeks here. I have driven all over the US and Washington state is where I have put the most miles in. When I moved up here, I just started driving on every off day as far as I could in every direction. This whole state is a special one and would love to see you experience the same sites I have seen. The more I drive the state the more I fall in love. You have to get off the interstates here to see the real beauty. I know you have been up here before, but you seriously need to come back and drive all of the state. Ignore the politics and hit the country roads.

[@robedmunds7163]

We always visit Yosemite from the UK just as it opens. Sure there are some places you can't go, but what a beautiful blue sky and no crowds.

[@gonzo919]

Awesome hike, thank you Robert

[@avrilmaroon3196]

Beautiful video Robert. Thank you. Safe travels. 🚙🎵🎶

[@laurabuchanan8501]

I agree, OMG!! what a great expedition!! Thanks for taking us along, putting this area on my bucket list!

[@ShawnPatterson402]

Just simply amazing. Utah highway 12 has to be one of the nicest roads anywhere. continued safe travels....

[@jubys5387]

One of my dream places to visit, Utah. Beautiful video Robert. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences.

[@epic7002]

Incredible views. Thanks for taking us along.

[@AskRemy]

Thank you for the music, an integral part of my day each and every day.

[@Smokymountaintraveler]

Evening time lapse is just incredible. Phenomenal content as always. Don’t know how to sum it up other than perfection. Thank you, sir!

[@kathleenhack3897]

Thanks Robert for letting me travel along with you. 😊

[@elmandalorian6671]

Awesome scenic driving 🚗...

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

Another masterpiece...I always love it when you go on Highway 12! And I'm so glad I know about it because of you! I definitely plan on driving on it one day...hopefully later this year!

[@BrydiHeebner]

You are making me want to move to Utah! Living on the East Coast in major cities my whole working career I am a mountain girl in my heart!

[@akgobears]

Utah, Idaho, and Oregon are my favorite states to RV in out west....Have never been on that Hwy 12 so this was a nice video to watch and take note of...Travel safe, be well...

[@C-TOS]

Those night time-lapse night shots are always welcome, and it is the cherry on top of the whole Byway 12, hopefully, I will visit one day.

[@ljiljanamahmutagic6186]

Hello Robert and Ily, This was great video. You are getting into hiking now. Love that. It is so inspirational ! ❤

[@bjtravelersRV]

Great show

[@judyfenske4790]

We enjoy all of your videos but this one of the hike was especially enjoyable. You did a fabulous job videotaping the hike and the amazing waterfall at the end. Well done Robert. Keep up the great work and be safe.

[@Kristina_152]

Beautiful footage of one of our favorite states to visit!

[@Yawndave]

Hey Robert, thanks for taking me back to all of these great Utah locations! Red Canyon is a great alternative to Bryce -- the scenery isn't quite as awesome but you have a better chance of having the trail to yourself. Too bad you missed some of the slot canyons on Hole In The Rock Road. (If you ever go back, try to make it down to Dance Hall Rock!) Calf Creek Falls, what a great hike! In the warmer months it's soooo nice to take a dip in the the pool beneath the falls When I hiked it the first time it was spring, the trees were all green and full of tent caterpillars that were falling down on the trail everywhere 🙂. The view from the scenic turnout at 50:20 always takes my breath away. Loved the fantastic drone footage from the Hogback!

[@patrickleclaire6404]

The night sky was a treat.

[@bonnieclyne5618]

Beautiful video, thank you. Greetings from Leesburg FL.

[@SueCieslica-b6v]

This is awesome. Since I can't get out to that part of the country anytime soon, this is the next best thing. The rock formations are unlike any other. Thank you. Robert!

[@andreloshon3344]

BEAUTIFUL SCENERY.......THATS UTAH 4 U.

[@ivettepalacin8599]

Great national parks video, thank you 🎉 the arches look like structures on moon. And what else would ET’s leave behind but images and sculptures of themselves! When I was at Cantelope canyon a Navajo said when he was a kid his grandfather told him all those structures were the bottom of the ocean a long time ago. I had asked him if those people like structures were inhabited - people or spirit, and that’s what he responded. I’m beginning to accept what my intuition is telling me. Thanks again, Roberto 😊

[@DG_ontheroad]

absolutely incredible and fascinating. fantastic video, congratulations,excellent job ,Robert👏👏👌👌👌

awesome driving robert

[@SCmath1288]

Great episode! In May, we traveled to Escalante via 12 W.... it helped my prayer life for sure! Thank you for the footage... I was too busy gripping the wheel to look at the scenery as we drove. Now I know it has the name, "Hog back." It deserves its own name, for sure!

[@debbiewerner7124]

Wow snow!!! What Glorious Scenery. Fun ride as always. That hour went fast ❤

[@laurafoote214]

Such beautiful scenery, wow!

[@glendasharp5057]

Thank you for taking us along on your hikes, Robert. Last October we spent some time hiking at Bryce Canyon & Zion NPs. I'm relieved you didn't try to hike down the steep canyon at Bryce in the snow EVEN with your hiking shoes. Beautiful photography.

[@MrRyguy2112]

I hiked around calf creek several years ago. Beautiful. There were trout in the creek leading up to the waterfall as well! I hope the dog found its owner!

[@chrismis2062]

I wondered the same thing about the dog!

our favorite place to go

[@laptopturbo]

I did the drive in April and there was snow in Torrey and it was amazingly beautiful. I want to go back and do all those hikes

[@deniseclark8850]

Beautiful video Robert. We’ve seen grainary (food storage) on hikes before. They tend to be under rock overhangs that are close to the ground. Rocks are placed around the overhang blocking animals and others from getting to or seeing the grainary/food. That’s probably why you didn’t see it. You can look for unnaturally stacked rocks under boulders or in holes in cliff walls to find them.

[@jamesoakley3246]

Great video!

[@alrichardson7027]

WOW!! Stunning!

[@otherthingswithkennyprice]

You do amazing work! your best at this on KZbin! May you continue to be successful! so refreshing! Thanks for sharing! Great soundtrack, video work, and editing?

[@hermosasons1]

Loved it. It’s just your so fast. We didn’t get to enjoy the water the mountains as much. But it was great. The waterfall was spectacular. Great footage ❤

[@brandonmcdaniel930]

Man that water looks so clear and cool! If you had a LifeStraw you could try and drink some. Its a nice thing to have especially doing them hikes. Thanks Robert!

[@exploringcoasttocoast0203]

Robert, I can recommend Paradise RV in Panguitch. When we stayed there in 2019 it was very no frills but filled our needs and was very inexpensive. I see it is open year round. We stayed there 2 weeks in May. We weren't able to see Cedar Breaks because it was snowed in but we visited Bryce a few times. Some days it was clear with no snow on the hoodoos. Other days it snowed and the hoodoos looked so cool powdered with snow. Also, to know what the granaries look like, there is a pullout on that scenic rd 12: location: 37° 44.523′ N, 111° 43.311′ W. Marker is near Escalante, Utah, in Garfield County. Marker is on State Highway 12 at milepost 51.5,, 0.9 miles west of Pet Hollow Road, on the left when traveling west. Marker is located in a pull-out on the south side of the highway. There are pipes pointed toward the granaries that you can look through to see them.

[@robster985]

Last three summers in the Fishlake Forest. I love this area. Never hiked the waterfall trail. Stunning! I was in SE Arizona when you recorded this. The hard packed snow in the higher elevations was surprising. Don't see much of that in hometown Orlando. The host was being "overly cautious" nice choice of words. Any out takes on that? Keep it tween the lines amigo!

[@brandonmcdaniel930]

That pizza looked real good!

[@captziggy1]

Fantastic Drone piloting !!!

Robert I ❤ the videos, can we get some more cooking videos and more video of the food at the restaurants?

[@alrichardson7027]

Wow!! I have also drove on the Hogback!

[@daemocd]

Nice video!

[@johnthomson5730]

Funny, another time we stayed in the same park you have stayed in. We had a site at the canyons of escalante a few years back and also drove down the hole in the wall road and hiked the Zebra Canyon and the next day lower creek falls. It was an amazing place! Then off to Capitol Reef!

[@millerlite502]

Just like Johnny Cash would say I've been everywhere man 😎

[@jimmoore7725]

A beautiful video and a beautiful state. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you. Ily, let’s see you on a video sometime.

[@stevefowler8660]

Bucket list for your next Escalante trip. On the hole in the rock Road check out peekaboo and spooky slot canyons. Sorry you missed out Hells Backbone road. There is a Network of dirt roads that go through Boulder mountains. And don’t forget Burr Trail out of Boulder.,

[@RealFIRSTONE]

Zebra slot canyon is epic, its beautiful velvety soft walls are more extraordinary because they are embedded with unique Moqui Balls. It's a good hike in Robert bring lots and lots of water. definite must see next time your out there. BTW I was told as well that my SUV would get destroyed because the road is so bad and I paid for drop off and pick only to see the parking lot for zebra lined with small cars.

[@hermanoamor3606]

[@shaundavidson2582]

Howdy, From Perry, Fl .... I didn't see the live show live. But seen it when I got a chance to get caught Because I'm not in Perry,Fl today. I'm live from Blackwater River State Park, Holt Florida We traveled Friday and did the rv set so Ihad watch your live show next day.

Love the videos thank you. Not sure if you have ever been to kodachrome basin. I hear Brice is so busy that Kodachrome is another option.

[@RedHeart64]

At 56:56 in your video, I think you got a shot of several granaries. Near the center of the picture, about 4/5 of the way up there is a horizontal layer with an overhang and what looks like six granaries - they look like little places where the crack is filled. They aren't big, and from what I've seen (mainly on videos), you will find them in short layers where there are significant overhangs (like 10 feet, maybe more) and pretty high on the cliff. I think that's partially because rodents won't climb very high on rocks without a good reason and the way they're made usually prevents rodents from getting in (or even smelling grain and other stuff stored in them). A closer look would make it clear - they're obviously man-made and look like they're made with layers of (flat) rock or even blocks of rather flat rock. The images of granaries I've seen, they're usually small - 8 ft x 8 ft or so or smaller. The resolution (720p) isn't good enough to really tell (by digitally blowing up the picture). The rock paintings were quite interesting - they do fit a pattern I've seen before, but there were also some differences I noted. I really enjoyed this video, and remembered areas we'd visited when I was a young kid that were like what you filmed.
