Utah’s Most Overlooked Canyon

The 'little' Grand Canyon has all the hallmarks of Utah's National Parks. Huge sandstone cliffs, amazing geological history, and amazing cultural history, yet it is largely unheard of.
Here I will explore this largely bypassed canyon and enjoy its history and beauty.
I want to be clear that I am not advocating that this be a national park, but rather how it compares to Utah's national parks.

I want to be clear I am not advocating this to be a National Park. This is just a fun comparison of this canyon to Utah's National Parks!

Utah is amazing. So many different landscapes. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the excellent video. Subscribed

That was a fun video! Maybe we should leave it as it is so we’re not over run with people. Good job!😀👍

[@johnnyfercik2455]

I live about 40-50 miles north from this place, I ride my side by side all over. So many miles of emptiness to explore 😊😊

[@jonathangaseoma4951]

Nice beautiful place

[@walterbright1396]

Thanks for the post. Passed by many times on I-70 after the Moab area and thought it looked interesting to explore. Will have the time this year to check out the areas less travelled. That was a cool timed exposure in your video.

[@TopoTravelers]

Yeah for sure go check it out, definitely worth the stop. And thank you, I’ve been having a lot of fun with the time lapses on my GoPro

[@ascensionlady5318]

What a professional video! What a cute couple! Keep enjoying your life!

[@shaynejenkins446]

They have enough parks. This place is a really cool area. I have gone on many trips out there threw the wash and canyon. Everyone around there calls it The Wedge.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Great exploration, I've had this area bookmarked for a long time, looks amazing! How did the Crosstrek do on that terrain?

[@TopoTravelers]

Some of the roads defeated me, cause they went from road to driving on just straight sandstone. But mostly they are dirt with a bit of mud, and those aren’t too bad at all

[@2-old-Forthischet]

Thanks for a great suggestion. Sub'd

[@darrencorrigan8505]

Thanks, Topo Traveler.

[@heaven3021]

If u go the opposite way down the river, u will come to where the river is like 200 feet down straight rock.its pretty cool too.

[@TopoTravelers]

That’s sounds awesome, i definitely want to take another trip back to see more of the area

[@Trippin369]

Imagine the forest(s) that must have been there. Not to mention the rest of the living creatures, including human. Amazing to think of all the possibilities of what brought it to this condition.

[@arandomguy3266]

Like i need more reason to go to Utah

[@StAngerNo1]

Cool and interesting video! I'll definitely put that on my list, for the american southwest roadtrip I plan on doing sometime in the next 5 years (I am from germany). I hope you will keep making videos like this! Is your girlfriend of indian american decent?

[@TopoTravelers]

Thank you! I will definitely have more videos for the southwest coming this summer. And she is of Mexican American descent

[@StAngerNo1]

@@TopoTravelers Oops, I mean american indian/native american, so mexican american is close :)

'Ancient art...' child-level scratches on rocks that people feel compelled to fake admire..

[@MissIdolize]

This place is stunning. I wonder why it's not a national park? Doesn't make sense to me. Thanks again.

[@travisbitters7964]

good video. glad you made it and had a good time. Consider researching the purpose of National Park versus BLM lands. It's a critical consideration. Also consider that Southern Utah is a pastoral economy -- tourist economy (national parks) is inferior to sustainable natural resource economies.

[@moneyandtimefreedom3352]

Utah is being loved to death. No it does not need to be another national park. That just brings more people. More people end up ruining the environment and experience.

[@sdale1086]

The local Bureau of Land Management is trying to block access to all of these places just to satisfy a few!🤬

[@tonydowjones]

A lot of those rocks look like giant pieces of flesh. Meat has a grain just like wood...and marbleing".

[@johnlawrence9957]

DO NOT make it a national or even a state park! Bureaucrats screw things up & make them complicated! We don't want the regulations, access permits, etc, like what happens in Canyon Lands! Leave this place free! Not bagging on you, I just had to put in my two dollars worth! Love your channel!

[@TopoTravelers]

Glad you like the channel, and valid points!
