Barracks Trail November 4th 2024
Just outside of Zion National Park lies this gem of an offroad trail that gives you incredible viewpoints of such scenery. As you begin this trail, you wind your way through the canyon carved by the East Fork of the Virgin River, crossing it nearly half a dozen times. Many people believe that this is the highlight of the trail. While it is fun, this is only the beginning. After you ascend from the canyon onto the plateau above, you really get to see the sights that The Barracks Trail has to offer. Changing scenery is accompanied by different vantage points to view the southern valley that borders the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, while to the northwest you can get a glimpse of Zion. This 4wd roa...

    • @melanienielsen
      @melanienielsen 2 месяца назад

      @stevewhitton8671 Hey Steve. I am thinking that the boat holds about 25 to 30 gallons, and in addition to that, we had another 30 gals in the center walkway up to the front of the boat that were under the blanket. The kids had to strategically straddle them every time they went up to the front, haha. We knew we couldn't make too many stops as we were on a time crunch, and we made it to bullfrog fine without using the extra gas, but coming back we did explore a bit more and used about 15 more of the extra gas. Also, we had ropes under the front seats. One more thing we did to save gas was we only used the Bimini in the extreme heat of the day as it cause drag. I hope this helps.

      @melanienielsen 4 месяца назад

      Hi Mountain Girl. I lived in Laurel Montana for about 13 years. I love Montana. So cool you are learning about the history of this trail and the people who built and traveled it. I am so passionate about this topic and I will love to share a few more things with you. The following video is super old, but it is so well done and very accurate and best of all it is filmed on location so you get a great idea of the actual event. ruclips.net/video/hdcYZml6-d0/видео.html Here is another great youtube to watch ruclips.net/video/u9qKep6WJwg/видео.html And one last video is one from my channel and shows our experience going down the actual Hole in the Rock that is at the Colorado river (now lake Powell) crossing. I still cry to watch this video knowing what these people went through at this particular spot on the trail. ruclips.net/video/OOk0MBV6_8c/видео.html I hope this helps and I will love to hear any further thoughts you have. Also one last bit of information, Gerald Lund wrote a book called "Undaunted" and he does an amazing job bringing this whole part of history into light through a historical fiction point of view. Before he wrote the book, he traveled and visited the entire trail and read all the pioneer journals he could. It is a great read :) Thanks again.

Some of these more popular sites are maintained (and repaired/restored) so that the public can go inside. We have been in another site in this area that has a perfectly preserved and repaired kiva that the public is allowed into. It is maintained and repaired by the native Americans and is done so with materials from the canyon just as the ancients used. It is pretty cool to experience these places that allow access.
