Upside to the stormy time of year is the desert comes to life with blooms and greens. Definitely miss riding out west!!!

[@patriciafinn4563]

Great video. Been to Zion a couple times. Beautiful place. Lots of parks in Utah. Of course, Love, Love Daisy's happiness. She's adorable and makes me smile. Make sure she's in every video. PLEASE.

[@ChangingLanes]

We'll do our best! 😊 🐶

[@arnieg9703]

Your video just made the Zion area jump up the bucket list.. BIG TIME!! Thank you!!

[@marvinevans8789]

I’m sure Uncle Jim told you we don’t often have more than a couple of bad weather days in a row in the St George/Zion area. Last winter and spring was the wettest and coldest anyone can remember. Zion is sacred ground to us. My wife and I were married in Springdale on a bridge over the Virgin River. I have been visiting Zion for over 30 years and we have lived in St George now for 7 years. You have SOOO much more to see and do in our area. So many great hikes and places to eat in Springdale and the park. The shuttles that go up the canyon are actually quite fun and very informative. The Zion Canyon Lodge is a must see and a great place for lunch on the deck. A RZR rental at Sand Hollow state park would be a great experience for you. I’m really enjoying your videos. We were planning to boondock at Lone Rock and do a boat tour and Antelope Canyon already, but your video really convinced me to put it at the top of the list. Have great travels! 👍😎

[@ChangingLanes]

Sounds like an amazing place for a wedding! Thanks for the tips! We'll definitely be back... 😊

[@tinaandrews7572]

I love to watch your Rides! I have health issues and can't really hike so knowing I will be able to see such beautiful sights via a drive is awesome!

[@jannettejohnson1100]

Oh my gosh, you made me so home sick!! I grew up in St George and still have family there. My husband and I had friends that wintered in the park you stayed in. I lived 3 blocks east of the Temple right by the college as a kid. So many memories.

[@pamrawlins4226]

You guys are awesome, loved the video!! We are like you guys hate, hate noise! Puppies 🐕🐕 and quite👍 lol!!

[@RVEastCoast]

This is breathtaking... it just doesn't look real. I need to watch this video twice.. it just so much to see and so much info. THANKS, Zion National Park is one of our bucket list destinations!

[@ricks.1318]

Hey guys .... COOL that you got to RIDE through ZION, and along with Tara's uncle !!! NICE ... In my opinion, ZION National Park has to BE one of the BEST places on this planet !!!!! (And I have seen a decent amount of the planet ....) LOL ... That DAISY is a trip .... Awesome doggie !!! My personal tip... when you return to Utah and head to ZION, Make it a point to DO Angel's Landing ... The views ARE LIKE NO OTHER place ..... It WILL "take your breath away" ... (and i don't mean the climb ...) I'm nearly 60 yrs old now, and I've done it twice !! Just have to do it on a GOOD day for Tara !!! :) :) :)

[@ChangingLanes]

Definitely on the list for next time! 😊

[@truckcampinglife]

I just found your channel yesterday but I am so glad I did. I have watched all day and what a couple of down to earth folks you guys are. Thank you for filling my days in these troubled times. Stay safe my friends. I have a train that goes right through my backyard. I feel ya.

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks! 😊 Hope you caught the train in this video.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6Pce5-OmKqIfbM

[@sukochilee4770]

The west is like no other place in these United States. We lived in Northern Nevada for 18 years. The Ruby Mountains were out our back door. I miss the little town of Lamoille, NV so much. It's at the foothills of the Rubies. Daisy, Daisy. Smoochie dat face, Daisy!!

[@alexavon4628]

Your videos make me long for summer... the Canadian winter hasn’t been so forgiving so far. LOVE your videos!!

[@ChangingLanes]

🥶 Thanks for watching! 😊

[@stephaniefitch4713]

[@glennvallejo7670]

Chad Zion was and is beautiful. Narrows and Angels landing beautiful. Also I went Bryce about two hours away from memory towing a must see and you think your on a different plant. A must see if you have not been their before. Fond memories and wish I can go back soon

[@jameshodgins1937]

Love the video. Beautiful scenery. The out takes are fantastic. Noise, Noise, Noise!!!

[@ronniebatiesr4491]

Thanks Guys great job safe travels enjoy all your videos 👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🐶

[@scotthoran3704]

Wow, that beautiful paint job REALLY stands out among all your neighbor’s rigs at Temple View. You also CLEARLY have the most adorable dog in the park. Couple these facts with your exquisite taste in frozen soft-serve dessert items and you guys are three for three! lol. Oh, and Zion N.P. Was kinda cool too

[@ChangingLanes]

Blizzards rule! 😊

[@lynnsteiner1580]

I cannot wait to see utah. Utah is actually a state I could settle in. I loved this video so much and I loved the ride through the park lol. Your outtakes always get me lol. Lol yeah get on it hahahahahahahaha

[@beckyrusten3468]

We love your show. We are Motorcycle people and RV people. We have a trailer. We also have a tandem tow. We can pull the jeep and take the Motorcycles. I want to see all the 50 states and ride in them too. We have to wait until we are at least 62. We have property we would like to keep. We are also Dairy Queen fans.

[@ChangingLanes]

Welcome to our channel! 😊

[@lynnpappas4049]

Thank you so much for the great ride into Zion Park. It was really beautiful. Looked like a great ride. Daisy looked supper happy her mom and dad were home. haha She is sooo adorable. What a sweet personality she has.

[@lynnpappas4049]

Just looked at your Carlsbad NM video...... Especially enjoyed seeing Carlsbad Caverns again. Went the first time when I was around 11. We went the night before to the entrance of the BIG cave opening where there is the back and forth walk going down into the cave. Everyone that was there (tourists) gathered at the very top of the walkway and just waited. My dad had checked into this beforehand and found out that at dust/sunset, millions and millions of tiny bats come out of the caves. Well, sure enough, we only had to wait about 20 minutes and we started to hear this far off wooshing sound. It got louder and louder and louder, until it literally sounded like a freight train coming up out of the cave. It was absolutely spectacularly amazing. They came up out of the cave like a whirling tornado. Spiraling up, up, up until they were several thousand feet above the opening. Then they just all took off in all different directions.There were so many of the bats that they literally blocked out the sky overhead. The Park Ranger who was there told us that the bats stay out all night and all of them come back in the same way they left. They have this internal clock that tells them when to leave and when to return. Pretty cool huh. Also, was surprised to see you went down an elevator. We went down the winding back and forth trail that went down into the BIG cave opening. There was about 20 people in our group, and lights were turned on in the caves only as we entered into each area, and turned off behind us. I remember when we were far enough down into the caves so that any light coming in from the opening was no longer visible, all of the lights were turned out so we could see what TOTAL darkness was. OH my gosh. You literally could not see your hand in front of you. The lights were turned back on after about 20 seconds. That was long enough. At the end of the tour, we were in a large cafeteria like area where they sold box lunches (literally, a cardboard box with wrapped sandwiches and a cold drink) then when you had finished your box lunch you took the elevator back to the surface. Things have changed, and rightly so I guess. It was around 1958 when I went. But it was still pretty cool. So cool that it has left an everlasting impression on me all of these years.

[@Tryke_Ryder]

Once again you guys rocked it! Great video and I absolutely love the sound track!!!

[@bradlangley7815]

We moved to Washington City Utah 2 years ago. Loved your video and yes you need to come back. So much more to see!

[@ChangingLanes]

💗

[@minvonuk]

Loved the Video, thanks. Wishing you both and Daisy the very best for 2020!

[@Sunny-kn6th]

So glad you took the time for Monument Valley. Although you didn’t tour it. A very spiritual place. Go back if you can and take the tour driven by the native Indian.

[@mackbolan6877]

Nice Farrah Facet look, like it...

[@michaelhudson7861]

Great video kids. My brother and to adult nieces live in St George. Now I know why.

[@royh729]

You brought back a lot of great memories riding in Zion NP. Great video and also wanted to thank you for all the videos you have shared on how to and not how do things with the rv. We bought a Momentum 320G the other day and watching your videos have taught us "first timers" how to get started. Appreciate you being upfront and telling the good, bad and ugly of your adventures. Have a Happy New Year.

[@ChangingLanes]

Congrats on the new Momentum! 👊🏼

[@ND-tu7ww]

Zion is on my bucket RV trips. You guys are awesome! I've seen so many of your videos I feel like I know you guys better then some close friends. LOL. Great videos and professionally done. Thank you guys, and keep up the great work!!!!

[@larrybrackley3249]

CHAD and TARA ....Last time we were to Zion which was in the mid 90's with the kids there were no reservations at that time and I believe I bought a peace pipe for my collection from the Buffalo Trails Trading post .... Binge watching your videos in order so I hope to catch up to you two sometime here in the future ... lol ... Be careful ... have fun ... enjoy!!

[@patrickm8877]

I love the Southwest and Zion is on my bucket list. But I never thought it was as beautiful what I seen in your video. Beautiful! Thanks for the awesome video.

[@fthwheeler1]

Happy New Year to the 3 of You.

[@deanwebster]

Great video! Utah looks amazing! Love the outtakes... We're filming so there redirecting the flight paths. LOL.

[@ChangingLanes]

Happy New Year, Dean! 😊

[@aprilteesdale3146]

Loved this video, we went out to Zion in 2015 on our Road King. BEAUTIFUL! We'll be full-timing next year, we always say, "when we retire, we're gonna hang out with Tara and Chad" Love your videos!

[@BellsRidesAboardSeaBoss]

Chugga Chugga woo woo And the big hole in the ground got me but mostly because Tara knew what you meant, lol

[@canadiantwig4772]

Haha the out takes so funny!! Of course Daisy! :)

[@brendadiehl8108]

I stayed in that same RV park in 2018, it was a nice and safe place to stay while traveling alone. I had Camping World (just up the street) replace a skylight that broke from ice coming off the roof. Zion has Angels Landing, it is a beautiful hike! If you can visit Capital reef is another beautiful canyon.

[@ilovelucy7073]

👍 love it !

[@richardaraujo9785]

Great video guys. Love the ride, can’t wait to experience it ourselves.

[@sandym4875]

We went to Zion National Park for one day too. Not nearly enough time to see everything. That is on our bucket list to return.Thanks for a great video!

[@Propnut48]

Just got home from there on May 30th. Stayed at the Zion campground in town about a mile from the entrance to the park. Went to Zion NP and Bryce Canyon NP ( which we kind of liked a little better). Beautiful area!!

[@deanatruppa5452]

Love your videos! Very helpful.

[@paulburt8222]

If you have never done it, when you are back in that area, you need to go to Bryce Canyon. From there an absolute must do on a motorcycle is hwy 12 to Torrey. Then hwy 24 through Capital Reef. We live in Utah and this is one of our favorites to ride on our FJR 1300.

[@charlie-qm9gz]

I want to wish Tara and chad Avery happy new year happy travels keep on trucking

[@kampana23]

I feel like a must do in Zion is one of the many slot canyons. Many require a permit so look into that. Others require special gear. Look into a guide service if you are feeling adventurous and want to do a route with some rappelling. Pine creek is an amazing route that actually starts right at the at parking lot at the end of the first tunnel. If your not feeling as adventurous just go to the narrows and hike up until you get sick of it. Bring sturdy water shoes with you and don’t waste your money on the River shoes that everybody rents there.

[@duckiegirl58]

Excellent! My mom in law lives in Kanab so we go in that entrance.. the East one. I've done the horseback riding there, and it's incredible, but it's a typical trail ride.. nose to butt and stay in line. Cool non-tourists areas tho!

[@smittysmitty34]

Zion canyon in the most colorful of all the canyons

[@dougmclean3417]

P.S. Here's a funny childhood memory of Zion's... Like your Uncle Jim in St. George, I have an older sister and her husband that live in Kanab (just southeast of Zion's, Hwy 89). When I was a teenager during the 1970's, my brother's-in-law, along with a few other friends, would take a weekend "hop" over to Zion's just to goof-off for a day. Back in the day, vehicle traffic was not the congestion problem it is today, and we could park our car in a "pull-out" right near the entrance to the longer of the two mountain tunnels. We would take a "Glow-in-the-dark, Wam-O Frisbee" and hold it up against the car head light for several minutes, and then all of us would head inside the tunnel. I'm sure we contributed to the decision of Park Rangers posting signs prohibiting pedestrian traffic into the tunnel, but once we got past the first curve, it was JET-BLACK inside that tunnel. You could hold your hand 5 inches in front of your face and could not see it at all... JET-BLACK, BLACK, BLACK, BLACK. Then we would throw the Frisbee around. Not knowing what direction was what, sometimes you could see the Frisbee fly for 10 feet and then stop, mid-flight, and drop to the ground (after hitting the tunnel wall). If you saw the Frisbee glide effortlessly thru the air, then you knew that was the direction everyone wanted to travel. When we heard a vehicle noise getting louder and louder, it was time to "take cover" in the recesses in the side-wall of the tunnel (ribs, that were structural support arches that supported the top and side walls of the tunnel). They were spaced maybe 10 feet apart, and would give you a foot and a half depth, to hide within. Vehicle traffic would fly past us at 40 mph, and we could have just reached out an arm and touched one of them if we wanted. Anyway, once the "rumbling" would start to fade away, we knew it was safe to come out of hiding and resume our Frisbee throwing. The window openings were really cool to look out of too. We would walk the entire length of the tunnel, turn around, and then start the journey back to our car. A few times, when I thought I was in the center of the tunnel and a vehicle was approaching our area, I would bolt to the side-wall for safety, only to quickly discover that I was only 3 or 4 feet away and I would slam into the side-wall, knocking me senseless. Watching the flight of the Frisbee always gave us our heading, and when ever anyone was close enough to catch it mid-flight, they would send it flying again in the same direction. Sometimes it would skid on the asphalt as it landed and would just sit there for a minute, until you would see it quickly jump up and start flying again, just like magic... ha-ha-ha.

[@ChangingLanes]

THAT is definitely something I (chad) would have done as a kid.. sounds AWESOME! 😊

[@choldk]

Great video! I didn't realize it at the time, but when we watched the video we were the Alfa parked next to you during part of your stay in St. George! I wish I would have come over and said Hi... We really enjoy your YT Channel... Thanks!

[@mobileadventures1813]

22:02. Lol....love that sarcasm.

[@JH-zf8ff]

There is a little bakery cafe on the river in Zion that has good pie and ice cream. Also there is a cut off that will take you closer to mess Verde without having to drop down to Mexican Hat with its steep grades and 90 degree turns to cross the river. The other route s on the flat.

[@1987justinross]

Hey that's my backyard. I love Zion National Park thats why I live here. Make sure you go to Oscar's Cafe when your in town next time. They have the best food. If you come in spring/summer rent some tubes and float down the river through zion. You'll love it.

[@vanettechristian2182]

Love this video. This is one of my favorite drives. On our first trip to Zion, were did the same drive to the entrance to the park. My vocabulary was reduced to one word, WOW. Everytime we rounded a curve it was the only sound I could make. It is the most beautiful area. We have since, visited the park many times. It still takes my breath away. When you make your next trip, remember that the private vehicles are not permitted on the scenic drive along the Virgin River. You must ride the park shuttles. We love to have a snack and rest under the huge Cottonwood tree at the visitors center.

[@AvengerRVAdventure]

Another great video!

[@myleshansel7950]

Amazing video, you need to make a video of all of you're outtakes they really crack me up. This one was by far one of the best of the outtakes, I've wanted to visit Monument Valley it looks incredible (bucket list), safe travels you guys

Loved Zion! We were there early Sept. 2020 so we missed you by that much. 😁 Stayed right outside Zion Canyon RV resort. Walking distance to park. (10min) Can’t wait time go back. By the way, no hiking? To bad about the weather. Next time! Great video guys!!!

[@WanderLost]

Zion is so beautiful... I can’t wait until we can go there!

[@clifftatum6148]

Stayed at Temple View park last July while we visited all the NP in the area. We were there for a week and saw Zion, Vegas, Grand Canyon North Rim, Bryce, and Antelope/ Horseshoe before we left to go to Moab. I enjoyed the park. Of course it is hot during the day but we were out touring during the day. At night it cooled down enough we could walk around (visit Dairy Queen) and see the town. The staff at the park was very nice and very helpful. When we first arrived I was getting an error code on my EMS and the staff came out trouble shot the hook up and fixed it within an hour. Laundry room was clean and so were the restrooms attached to the pool. Small community center was a nice place to meet others in the evening and WiFi there was good. We entered Zion at 0430 in the morning mainly to beat the heat and we were not doing any major hiking this trip. We practically had the whole park to ourselves. We did manage to beat the heat so much that we needed a light jacket until about 0800 when it started to warm up.

[@benjaminestep8874]

Hey bro I goof with my riding boots too. Just a totally different feeling with sneakers. Thx for sharing, great vids

Great episode! Love Zion.

[@larryambrose5078]

Wow, Zion is so Awesome! IMO it is maybe the most incredible 25 to 30 miles on a Motorcycle in the USA! Been thru it both directions many times on my Harley, my XR650R, and my 30' Rage'n 5th wheel Toy Hauler! Next time get over to the East side thru Kanab and stay at the "Ponderosa Ranch Resort". You will absolutely Love it there, guaranteed! I currently live in So. California but plan on selling the house and relocating to St. George area this year!

Saw our first mountain goats right beside the road. FYI Monument Valley Holdings campground is very nice. Take care. JJK

[@rachelhaase6553]

I had a Chihuahua named Patch and he used to prance and dance and somehow at the same time he was prancing and dancing he was circling me into my place and into the kitchen he was so cute and adorable when he did that 😍 and when Daisy does her little dance when you come home it reminds me of Patch even though he was taller and longer than her he was fun to deal with and she looks like she's just as much fun and adorable personality

Your bike is beautiful

[@mbrown1519]

This is the kayak guy from lone Rock (Mark). In the video you asked about camping around the park we boondock buy Mount Carmel about 1 mile south on 89. Nice flat area room for 20-25 big rigs if you remember our trailers 49 foot, and the best thing about it is the view and it has excellent cell phone service. Which if you've been around in Utah that's kind of hit or miss mostly Miss. We also boondock up at Bryce. It sounds like you missed highway 12 North of Bryce canyon for a motorcycle ride too bad most beautiful ride. Great video as always very entertaining.

[@ChangingLanes]

Hey, Mark! Yes.. we did miss Bryce this time around... More for next time! 😊

[@LivingTheGoodLifeRving]

Really nice scenery been to Utah one and I was really impressed

[@brooksie5601]

Great video you guys! That was some of the worst weather we have had in the eight years we have lived here. Make sure and visit some of the state parks on the bike(Snow Canyon/Quail Creek and Sand Hollow). Grab a burger at Oscars in Springdale. You will have to check out the devils backbone if you come back out here to visit Bryce.
