Question

Canyonlands encompasses over 337,000 acres of high Eastern Utah desert including colorful canyons, mesas, buttes, fins, arches, and spires. Water and gravity have been the primary architects of this land, sculpting layers of rock into the rugged landscape you see today.

While boondocking on state land for free camping along Dalton Wells Road, we explore Gemini Bridges, travel Island in the Sky, descend the precipitous Shafer Trail, visit Thelma & Louise Point, check out the climbers along Wall Street, grab a burger at Milt's Stop 'n Eat, and preview the BLM campgrounds along the Colorado Riverway Recreation Area:

I have been traveling in that country for many decades and really like all the space. I have made over 15 trips to southern Utah.  It is at its best in spring and fall.  Watch out for thunderstorms especially around slot canyons.

Another great video!  Some of those cliff-side roads looked pretty tricky -- especially when the camera was hanging out the window on the driver's side.  Wow!

Pretty darn steady, under the circumstances!  It's a lucky thing you had two extra hands for the steering wheel.  ;)
