In the spring there is a one week window when all the flowers you don't see bloom and the canyon is a riot of color .One of natures wonders .

“ Toilet Paper Hero!!” Is that a Foreigner reference? 😂 I love it

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

You got it!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆

[@vendingdudes]

That wide spot you pass at about 1:40 is immediately after the second right hand turn. Great private safe quiet spot to spend the night. Last time I did that it was a full moon coming over the ridge. Awesome!

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Sounds magical!!!! Good for you!!! We’ll keep it in mind. 😃

[@mikestriegel791]

So that's what it looks like in daylight? Every time I've trucked through my schedule has me doing it in the dark. 😉

[@vendingdudes]

It's like an alternate universe. Right this second I'm climbing out of St George. Just went through the gorge a few minutes ago. River is flowing high right now! ETA: Proof this is current footage (other than river flow) is that you crossed Bridge 1 in the right lane! They just finished that and opened it up a couple days ago! Hope it doesn't take 2 more years to finish the rest of the bridge project 😆

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

😃😃😃We are now heading south again! Just passing Exit 129 on I-15. If you’re heading to SLC we’ll probably pass each other! 😁😁😁👋👋👋👋 You know our truck. 😆 What are you driving?

[@smitty8254]

I love when I take this route. I’ve of the mist beautiful routes in the country.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

It really is!

[@davidjones8680]

Really enjoyed the "Creek Whistle" music to go with the beautiful scenery. Would it posible for you to record 'just the engine' working hard the next time you are hauling 43,000 lbs up a road like this please? I love listening to a good big diesel engine on full song and pulling hard. Keep well and safe travels. David in the UK.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Some videos have that sound. I’ll see what I can get for you on another trip. 🥰

I drove that route a couple of days ago myself, and I agree. Arguably, the most scenic drives in this country. Thanks! As always, travel safely...

[@GEricBromley]

This video brought back a flood of good memories. Had the pleasure of going through the Virgin River Gorge three times. It was a punctuation mark to the many eye popping, gob smacking vistas and mind blowing geology I saw during my haul from Newfoundland to L.A. Down in the gorge one felt insignificant. Once west of Council Bluffs the lay of the land became even more interesting and westward from Denver on the I-70 it was visual sensory overload. It was difficult to concentrate on driving. The Glenwood Canyon, Grand Junction area, and the San Rafael Swell were some of the other highlights. I think it is safe to say that the U.S. is probable the only country to have such a varied landscape. And so accessible. Canada has it's share of beautiful vistas but many are hard to get to. It was a great memory trip. I really enjoy your videos .

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

So happy that you could come along with us to relive those earlier travels!!! 🥰

[@charlesyell6318]

Good stuff guys. Amazing what all you guys see when you're out that far.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

We agree! 😃😆👍

[@careyjeannin7739]

Has there ever been a time that you or maybe someone you heard of couldn’t get up the mountain because the load was too heavy?

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Haven’t heard that. But we’ve seen some trucks as end very slowly! And we’ve seen some trucks overheat and taking a break on the side of the road.

[@daleshelnutt9192]

If I’m not mistaken that’s the most expensive road every built

[@vendingdudes]

At the time, yes. Highest cost per mile of US interstate

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thanks for that info.

[@rockeerockey6941]

Kevin, did you get hit by that piece of tire thrown from the four wheeler passing the slow mover in the left lane?

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

No. We were very lucky!!

[@ge45gecalled39]

used to drive for JB hunt then Cannon express then ended with CFI, do you see them out on the road, thanks for the lift, take care and be safe

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Hey there! Glad to have you along! Yes. We see CFI out here. 😃

[@CharlieandTeresaHauk]

I love that ride thank you. I lived in Junction Utah and that was my favorite part of the trip to the dispensary in Mesquite.❤️

[@christopherpope2283]

Has your new truck get on Kevin

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Good! But…it’s still a Freightliner. ☹️

[@cowboyfinleys2757]

What state is this Arizona or utah

[@vendingdudes]

The entire gorge is in AZ. I-15 runs through 29 miles of the corner of AZ, the actual canyon section is 11 or 12 miles I think.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Arizona. 😃

[@michaelwallace7192]

Dose that truck ride beter

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Not really. It’s still a Freightshaker. 🤦‍♀️ But it does steer better.
