Mini highlight reel of our time in Hanksville, Utah showing our favorite spots...including Bentonite Hills, Long dong silver, and moonscape overlook.
Absolutely DO NOT skip UT's nat'l parks by any stretch! Some folks have planned their entire lives to finally have the chance to come and explore these incredible parks. Many from outside the US. Keep your travel plans. But also, time permitting, visit Hanksville. Sure. You cannot go wrong with nearly every square mile in UT. Incredibly beautiful state.
Do NOT get stranded around Hanksville on a mountain bike if there is ANY possibility of rain or snow. Youwill be DAYS getting out of your location, and you will struggle to get that bentonite clay off your bike or 4x4.
Hanksville is awesome. Don't go unless you can take care of yourself and not die in remote areas where no services are available.
Fun video. Thanks. I've loved my several times in Hanksville. But folks need to know that you have to WANT to be there. It's far from many of the other Utah highlights like Moab, Zion, and Bryce Canyon.
Impressive drone work! Looking forward to seeing more of the southwest and following your channel.
Thank you!

Spectacular! Wonderful video of an incredibly scenic place. And you're right, it's hard not to get side tracked by both the national parks and even Utah state parks (Goblin Valley is just up the road). Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks. That looks like a great place to camp. I've been to Zion and Bryce Canyon and the crowds there are nothing short of ridiculous.
My favorite place in the world.
Nicely done and great tour!!
thank you very much! 😊
This is the first video of yours that I have watched and already I'm addicted and a subscriber. Very artistically done!
Thank you we really appreciate it! Hopefully we can continue to impress 😊
. @twonaturejunkies I concur. Well done
Pure nature! Really great video!
What a video!! Just wow!!
The area really is incredible 😍 Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
Spectacular. I have watched this numerous times, just totally awestruck.
thank you very much for watching and we’re glad you enjoyed it 😊
Nice video to capture that place!!!!! Hanksville!
Beautiful
Wow!!!
Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA!🤠
I have been to those places. Thank you for taking those aerial photos.
How lucky that you’ve already been! Glad you enjoyed the footage 😊
Great perspectives. Beautifully produced. I'm just sorry it took me 5 months to find you. You got my sub.
Spectacular footage!
thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it 😊
Nice , I will put on my list for 2024
A friend of mine live in Salt Lake City. When his girlfriend dumped him he got depressed and being a nature lover, bought some property in Hanksville and moved there. He's pretty well know for having a hiking/canyoneering guide website since the mid 90s. Very smart, reasonable guy. Last time I saw him he told me about living in Hanksville for about two years...he told me was very tiresome seeing the same 100 faces and the loneliness, isolation and "nothing going on" drove him back to SLC. That surprised me considering he spends most of his time outdoors anyway. He told me "You have to experience it to know what I mean". Perhaps it's easier for people that grew up in these windswept, desolate areas than for "city" people to take root. Sometimes the grass isn't always greener, eh?...nice places to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.
I think it' a "grass is always greener" thing. And, there's always a price to pay for wherever you live. Just visit where you want to but live where you need to.
So many great places to explore and so little time.
exactly! we only had a few days here and wish we had twice as long
Looks like someone is getting better ;) . Great Editing as well.
Haha thank you for noticing the improvement 😊
So pretty!!! Would love to see some footage of the town of hanksville too :)
thank you! it’s such a small town that we forgot to get much footage 🙈
@@twonaturejunkies Hanksville is a big town now compared to what it was during the two years I lived there as a child back in the late 60's. Back then you had clear skies, and didn't experience the crowds they have now. There were no paved roads south of Hanksville at that time, and other than an occasional boater heading down to the new reserviour called "Lake Powell". Such a widely diverse landscape beauty surrounding you everywhere you look
@@jeffking6672 "There were no paved roads south of Hanksville at that time,"
In the early 1960's when I lived there it was gravel road all the way from Green River. The tiny elementary school was two room; basically one room with a divider. Grades 1-3 met on one side, 4-6 on the other side, and high school students went all the way to Green River. The school is still there but seems to have additions. Despite the small size, or because of it, I excelled particularly in reading.
@@thomasmaughan4798 Interesting how you too excelled at reading from what you learned in that two room school. It was where I attended 4th and 5th grade. I Learned to speed read using those timed film strip projectors we called "Clickers" I would load up on books every time the bookmobile came through. When I was there 6th grade and above students were bussed through capitol reef to Bicknell. We were in new "Government" housing where they built 2 houses for FAA employees right across the street from old man Hunts gas station. We had hand crank phones, party line with ours being "Hanksville 4". My little sister was born when we lived there in the doctors house/office in GreenRiver. Such different times. Besides all the outdoor adventure you could enjoy fun entertainment like watching the army launch missles towards "White Sands New Mexico" from the site just outside of GreenRiver" Great fun for us kids but my mom was never fond of the area as a place to live.
Passed through and stayed a night there in 1999, boring small town America, terrible food. Locals seem to think we were the most interesting thing they had seen in years 😂
Awesome shots!
thank you very much! 😁
As I recall hwy 95 from Hanksville to Bridges National Monument is one of the most spectacular roads I have been on. Don't miss it!
absolutely insane road
Factory Butte is absolutely breathtaking,
nice song selection
WWWWWOOOOOWWWWW!
Wow beautiful shots! Keep up the beautiful work
750 subscribers? I'm sure that won't take long to change!
Thank you very much for your kind words 😊 We hope it won’t take long either!
Just subscribed. Amazing footage. We just went there too. So amazing. Love your drone footage. Gave me a lot of ideas for future videos. 😃
Awesome thank you!! We want to go back also and spend more time!
Beautiful! What drone did you shoot this with? Thanks!
@@tedgayer336 Thank you! It’s all with a DJI mavic 3
Glad to see one of the Irish slot canyons at the end! Bit to the north but also check out the slots to the north past goblin valley state park!
thanks for the idea, we will need to next time!
"go straight to HANKSVILLE"
Please don't.
I’ve been there. Can’t see it in person the way this drone does. Sort of the Poor Man’s Bryce Canyon.
Fine dining, lush vegetation, cool climate.
if only the tour buses and crowds didn’t stop you from enjoying them
4 wheelers breaking the crust. Doesn't look the same as twenty yrs ago.
Theres a Dino Quarry there too!
Beautiful drone work...really impressive. I gather since its not a national park drone flying is allowed? This looks like a place to put on my list. By the way, which drone did you use when making this video?
Thank you very much! We used a DJI Mavic 3 for the footage. And yes, for most of the non-national park public lands around there you can fly the drone without issue
What you have to be aware of is that BLM is the land manager for most of the area around Hanksville. Due to abuse on some of the desert, unimproved roads , they have closed access to motorized vehicles. In particular, the Long Dong Silver area. You can get close, but for ground access, you will have to hike. (or risk a fine if caught violating a closure with your vehicle)
Coolsville Station 🚉🎉!!!
😄👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Very nice flying/editing! Music is perfect. Going there next May! What song is that?
Never mind, found it...
Sorry it is tiko tiko- endless travel. Glad you found it!
Is Hanksville the town that received a flood 2 or 3 years ago? That general area looks like a place that came across some really cool indian relics that were exposed by the flash flood. You really captured the beautiful shades of Leprechaun Canyon.
Yes they did in 2021! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching 😁
Hanksville gets major floods every few years. The summer monsoon season is particularly dangerous for people exploring the many slot canyons nearby.
Don't go when it's raining!
So, in no time at all in a place I have never heard of, I can see evidence already how man does not really appreciate nature with the respect that we are all to have for her; evidence by seeing those little piles of rocks that some (idiots) think that they need to leave behind for reasons that shouldn't be imperative to them!!!!!!!!!
Where do you park to get to those hills?
the blue and red hills? check out mars desert research station on google maps, there is a road that continues past it with pull offs near some of the nice (and legally accessible) sections
@@twonaturejunkies thank you, can't wait to go in May.
Now check out the town of Hanksville. You jes ain't neva lived 'til you partied at Hanksville.
Really great drone footage and beautiful shots, but I’m super disappointed to see that you walked out on the Bentonite Hills. The damage caused by footprints takes many years to heal. Hopefully, you only walked in areas that were already damaged. Either way, not cool to promote walking on the easily damaged surface.
Great drone cinematography… but why are you colors so washed out. Did you upload raw video?
The colors do tend to get visually washed out in sunlight, perhaps that is the case? This was all recorded in log, but converted back and edited before uploading. Thank you anyway!
Bring water.
Love that music.....what is it?
Tiko tiko- endless travel. Glad you enjoyed it!
can you see the uniform cuts and 90 degree angle imprints in the side of the cliffs anyone?? this is all old world structers
imagination
the word NORMAL means accordingly; according to regulations and repeating the narrative. Imagination is image (not real) of something that is not perceived as real and is not present to the indoctrinated senses. You must first know the difference bewtween what and Image and what a photo is first before you spew your schooling education@@shaynejenkins446
I agree. Old structure.
No harnesses and ropes? You kinda missed it.
Stay in that red sandstone terrain on a mountain bike or 4x4. Moab area is huge, room for everyone. And Hanksville food really is lacking, as in awful.
And 5 billion trails going in every direction. :(
It looks like it would be a real bitch to walk anywhere in this park with all the ridges and gully’s. It would be really easy to get turned around.
true, the area is generally not set up for longer treks. there are unpaved roads to get you near the common attractions, but going much beyond would require good planning and safety measures
🤍💛🧡💗💚💙💜🤎🖤✌
Those kind of views will soon be gone. The place is now open to non-restricted cross country motorized travel.
Terrible title! DO not by any means skip Utah National Parks!
Drones are not allowed.
So way too crowded and defaced in so many ways. I miss the old days when they looked like this place.
you haven't been its obvious@@Cnsalmoni
They are to crowded
Agreed 💯
Skip the downer musit next time.
SKIP the others, why?
clearly depending on available time. we just enjoyed hanksville much more than the national parks, day-for-day
I'd prefer the desert floor of Utah over hanksville. Cool video. Poor title.
I'm sure the chosen title was a bit facetious, tongue-in-cheek. Lighten up. 😉
Great place to go when it's raining.
I don't think you are supposed to camp there.
Please don’t pitch tents where these people did.
Watch out for the polygamists
What a horrible place!
Desolate but beautiful in its own way. Not a place to live though.
What does posting these places result in? You have more people going there. With people comes trash and vandalism.
More protection and more education about the U.S National parks and it's beauty worth protecting. Drone Flying is an art. Let the artist be.
And noise.
So true about more trash and vandalism. Every beautiful spot that I'm aware of which has been highlighted online has been subsequently loved to death... It's irresponsible to share the exact location of these gems. Why not just say gorgeous south central Utah?
In my experience, no place that has been touted online has EVER benefitted from the exposure. It is either turned into a haven retreat for the wealthy or ... if it's not "pretty" or "happening" as the other commenters complain... then only redneck keggers and those who don't care where the road is will go there: so its destruction is assured either way.
Maybe when it is nearly ruined there will be an outcry to protect it. And that simply means rules and bureaucracy and more restrictions and then run down tattered NPS infrastructure that cannot get enough tax dollar support to maintain, and only survives because of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon sharing their income.
Then you get a concessionaire that charges a fortune to eat or sleep there and it's a total loss all around.
Places like these are naturally undeveloped for a reason and the best way to protect them is to not advertise them.
I say this humbly and not snarkily: please don't take my word for it. Go back to these exact places in 5 years and you will see them completely trashed. 😢😢😢
I've seen it too many times throughout the entire west to not speak up and implore people sincerely to please consider no longer sharing the exact locations of these gems. Please. 💕👊🤙
