- It’s the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness! Disneyland’s Big Thunder Mountain has thrilled countless millions of guests in its many incarnations all over the world, but having spent my entire life growing up near Big Thunder Mountain in Anaheim, I thought since I’m in Utah, why not try to go see the real-life inspiration for the attraction! I was expecting to see Hoodoos, what I wasn’t expecting was to find so many other things along the way! From the “Mormon Emperor’s” house to Fred Flinstone’s car, the Desert Yosemite and a shop that REALLY Rocks, Bones of a strange beast, 100-year-old wedding cake, 72 year old bacon, and THOUSAND year old corn! It turns out the Beehive State is one interesting place to travel through!

I don't understand why Justin's channel doesn't have a million subscriptions. His videos are entertaining, educational, and just fun. Good work Justin! Another wonderful episode!
Thank you for coming and showing the state I have lived my whole life in. So many people just pass by and never really see the true wonders that is utah! I cant wait to see more of them and hopefully i can run into while you are in salt lake! A lot of us love you here! Thanks again justin!
Fantastic job Justin. I've never seen videos of this gorgeous state before. I'm so glad that you shared this. The scenery was breathtaking. Your commentary was hilarious. Thank you so much for the adventure.
That long tunnel gives me claustrophobia just watching you drive through it. But the COLOR of those rocks and cliffs - - breath taking.
Wow, really did remind me of Thunder Mountain! Never realized Utah was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing
THIS is probably the most incredible place I have ever visited. I was in awe at that climb. We came in from the bottom and hiked up. Seeing those two redwoods as centennials guarding the hidden entrance to the ascension was breathtaking. BUT, climbing those stairs and coming into view of those switchbacks and staring up at it from the bottom for the first time is something I will never forget. The entire canyon was beyond beautiful. What a lovely memory and fun seeing you discover it for the first time too! It's one of the few places I have visited before you! Cannot wait for more. Utah is a gorgeous state. You'll really enjoy it! Drive safe! Have fun! a
Look at the size of that LANDSCAPE!! IT ROCKS ....
Justin...thanks for visiting the great state of Utah! That is my home state. I live in Arizona now, but I grew up in Provo (45 minutes south of Salt Lake City) in the shadows of the Brigham Young University football stadium. The beauty of Utah is something that truly has to be seen to be believed. You definitely need to go back to Zion National Park! It is my favorite national park in the state (and we have a few!). Also, I always appreciate your open mind when learning about different cultures. The Mormon culture has a very rich history, and is SO misunderstood by people. I was born and raised in the religion and continue to take a part in it to this day. Also, there has always been a joke (but it is so true!) that Mormons are the biggest Disney/Disneyland fans on earth! If I am any kind of example, then it is true! We LOVE our Disney!!!
Happy trails, my friend! :)

The Eyes of God follow every living man! God has a purpose for you Justin!
Great video by the way!
Big Laugh at the end. "I thought it was going to be permanent". - Boop! Such a fun time. Thanks. I connect with your humor so well.
You are awesome Justin! As a Mormon, I loved your commentary on the history and I must say I burst out laughing with the Brigham Young, Medium and Old joke!!! 😀
It's a sick day for me and your videos are really cheering me up as always, thank you!
That super dark tunnel you went in... I can't believe you didn't mention Radiator Springs Racers! It was just like it! I was waiting for Mack to appear
Great vid, that ending was hilarious 😂
speaking of handcarts, when I was 14 I got to go on a mock pioneer trek, where we packed 4 days worth of necessities into a handcart and pulled it in the wilderness outside of nyssa, oregon. it was one of the most amazing, humbling and most educational experiences of my life.
LOVE!!!! Welcome to Utah! I found you by watching one of your videos about Disneyland, two years ago, and have enjoyed watching your new ones, since. I live in Utah and thoroughly enjoyed this video and look forward to the next one, to see what else you have planned while you are here. I enjoy your enthusiasm, your thirst for knowledge and your adventurous spirit. I learned several things from this video and have been inspired to check out a couple of the locations you went to, that I have never been. As you mentioned you are moving north, I would like to suggest Antelope Island, The Great Salt Lake, Promontory Point and Vernal. I look forward to your take on where you will visit. Keep up the great work and have a great trip!
LOL!!! Thanks for taking one for the team. The panarama was breathtaking
I had no idea how beautiful Utah was. I want to visit now. Thanks for another great video.
I loved this video Justin!! Especially seeing Bryce Canyon, and hearing you wheeze like Stevie the disabled kid from Malcolm In The Middle toward the end of your trek!! :-) looking forward to more Utah.
I loved this vlog Jason! Bryce Canyon was awe inspiring. Congratulations for making it down and back up the canyon. I appreciate everything you showed us in this vlog!
thanks Justin for taking us on this awesome trip! that place is magnificent. can't wait to see more. drive carefully bud, PS Mustang looks great.
I'm soooo excited that you're finally visiting my home state! Awesome! Highway 89 is Utah's route 66.
We live in St. George! You were about 1 minute from our house! We found your channel because we have held annual passes to Disneyland for the past 5 years. The drive is only 5.5 hours away, so we go 5 - 7 times a year
Omg that was absolutely gorgeous! So much natural beauty in the world, thanks for taking us there :)
That red rock scenery looks just like Disneyland. Shows how well Disney does with realistic landscaping.
You well represented a state I used to live and got the history fairly spot on. Excellent job.
THAT WAS SO COOL AND THE SCENERY IS AMAZING
Always a thumbs up dude! I haven't even watched the video yet 😁👍
Enjoying this adventure Justin! You enthusiasm makes it so much fun. Absolutely awesome views!!
I'm so glad you like it here! At first I thought you were in Arizona because hardly anyone who comes through Utah films it (at least that I know of), but then I noticed the trees and buildings and thought, "Nope, that is definitely St. George."
I've been to Utah a few times now for vacationing. I can't say enough how much I love it there. If my field of work was there, I would quit here, pack up and leave today to live there. So hopefully when I retire, we will settle down around Virgin, LaVerkin or somewhere in that vicinity. The people are the nicest, friendliest folks we have ever encountered on all our travels. It feels like home.
Awesome video, once again. Thank you for taking me on vacation when I'm stuck at home packing.
Awesome video. Thanks for taking us with you and safe travels.
I was eating my lunch at work, and I was watching your video Justin, then I got to the part of the cake and the bacon and my stomach got 💫💥💫💥. ..!!!!
That was nasty...!!!
Love your video buddy keep going To the infinity and beyond....!!!!
Yes BRYCE! Welcome to Utah, Enjoy your stay!
This reminded me of Sedona Arizona. I went last year and me and my husband's reaction were exactly like yours. We couldn't believe our eyes
That is amazing scenery! Really glad I found your channel a few months ago!
Bro! I'm from Utah! So awesome to see a youtuber travel to our state.
I'm glad you finally discovered the unique beauty that is Zion.
Dude I just about fell out of my seat I was laughing so hard when you showed pictures of Brigham Young Brigham medium and Brigham old. I myself am Mormon and I found that to be completely hilarious.
Finally!!! If I could give you 20+ likes on this video I would! For the past couple years of watching, I have always wanted you to go to Utah. Being from West Virginia, we never seen anything as this, thats why eventually we plan to move to St. George/Hurricane/Virgin area. Lot of fond memories there. Glad you got to go to Zion and Bryce!
Love all your videos Justin!!! Hope your knee doesn't hurt too much....
I live in Hurricane and have never been to that museum! I need to go see 110 yo cake. lol. Thanks for showing me a place to go see in my own town. I visit your town all the time, thanks for returning the favor.
Welcome to Utah, Mr. Scarred. Love your videos :)
This is amazing!! I'm convinced to visit and especially realizing it was the inspiration for Big Thunder! The drive out looked serene as well! Perfect to take with a couple of good friends. Thanks for sharing! PS, the typo at 21:14 haha!
Utah is one incredibly fascinating state. I've been there lots of times. I consider it my "home away from home".
I'm LDS myself, so I know a lot about Brigham Young and the history of Utah.
Lol love that dissin' Terry joke! 🤣 you are right about the national parks. If you're ever in northwestern Colorado the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and Gunnison Gorge are amazing!!
I remember driving through those tunnels from the East when I was young. We had never driven that way home from visiting our family in Kansas, but Mama wanted to see Zion. It was night and we thought we would NEVER get to the end of that tunnel!
I think your vlogs are awesome and I always get excited about the trips... My brother-in-law's wife's parents live in St George and I was told it's really a cool place to live... After watching this, it really makes me want to visit this place a lot more than I did before I watch the video... Thanks for all the good information!!!
Great footage! Now I have to go see for myself, thank you Justin!!
Nice job Justin. Keep up the good work.Welcome to Utah, hope you have a great visit.
beautiful, awesome scenery
A Lord of the Rings and a Labyrinth quote all in one video. Cool
Glad you enjoyed Utah! Bryce is pretty amazing. Next time I'd suggest you schedule a horseback ride into the canyon. The wranglers are great and you get to feel a little like a cowboy! :)
I got lost in Bryce Canyon once. It is beautiful. Great job!
What a wonderful tour guide! A treasure. Love Utah, such beautiful places. You need to go to Zion and Kanab someday. Tons of movie filming locations there.
I can sympathize with climbing those switchbacks. I hiked down into the Grand Canyon to Havasupai and the switchbacks on the hike back up to the top nearly killed me. Totally worth the 10+ mile hike though. The Havasupai waterfalls inside the Grand Canyon are beautiful!!!
One of your best ones yet. I am so jealous. Keep up the good content. Stay safe in the olddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd west.
"Hell of a place to lose a cow" - Ebenezer Bryce
I remember that story of how it got its name.
So many interesting and beautiful places to check out! Take it easy and rest your knee!
Zion is amazing but Bryce Canyon will BLOW YOUR MIND!
My home state! I'm glad you got to enjoy the scenery in Utah. When you come back you'll need to hike up the Narrows in Zion. They are gorgeous slot canyons. Or visit Delicate Arch in Arches National Park!
When I am a momma I want to take my kids to Zion National Park now! Looks so awesome!
That rock you were standing in front of at the end looks like a turtle. Thank you so much for this video. I've never been to Zion or Bryce Canyon but love to see videos about them. To me they are the most amazing places in the United States. Sure wish I could see them in person.
Chuckled that the actor who plays Tormund in Game of Thrones is what you called the "Mascot" for the hotel. Thanks for that laugh.
I've been through Utah several times, but never got off the train I was riding on. I never saw such beautiful rock formations as you displayed on this video, and didn't know they existed! I thought Disney was exaggerating, but not so much. (Well, the real item doesn't have spinning tops on the rocks.) Well, Justin, I continue to enjoy your adventures, tagging along with you via RUclips.
Holy Crap that was Outstanding! I've seen my brothers pics of the area but your vid really brought them to life. Definitely on my bucket list! There is a trail in Zion, called Angels Landing that I would love to do someday. It would be extremely height prohibited for you Justin. Thanks man! Love watching your Adventures!!!!!
My hope for this trip of yours is to end up somewhere close to see the Eclipse. Your coverage of that event would be priceless!!!! (just north of Salt Lake)
Absolutely stunning! Be safe!
Utah is very Beautiful!
That is Gorgeous! If you haven't been to Sedona, AZ; I highly recommend checking it out when you can. the Red Rock is beautiful over there as well
Wow! it really does look like Big Thunder Mountain! I need to visit Utah now.
Awesome job and funny ending !!!
Oh my god, you're in my state! Utahns have really strange way of saying our towns, I was waiting for the lady in the museum to correct you 😂 If you loved Bryce, you should check out Goblin Valley State Park! They filmed some of galaxy quest there, the scenery is awesome and unique. So glad one of my favorite RUclipsrs is exploring my state! Enjoy SLC!
I love this... I live in the st george area and since i am not mormon i have a lot of the same reactions towards our history
welcome to our beautiful state Justin!!!
I was just there for the first time earlier this summer! It is truly a wonder to behold, and very beautiful! It's worth the steep hill climbs for sure! I hope you do go back to Zion, there's a lot to see there too. Just be prepared to do some walking. Try hiking the Narrows. No heights on that trail :)
Very nice to see the real Big Thunder Mountain. :)
Breathtaking!!
That's it, I'm going! Thanks sharing 👍🏼
Love the borat reference
GREAT VIDEO, need to get out there soon to Bryce and Zion national parks. so much to see.
Hey Justin! Zion is SO incredible... its formations, Red Rock. Quite the beautiful scenery! Have you even been to Sedona AZ?? (similar, smaller no less amazing! I frequent that town... The Magic, the history.... talk about the QFP.... *wink* I go there to re-boot, re-charge and heal.... amazing!
Awesome video of Utah man, great coverage. I wish I could go there someday badly.
I think why us Dutch and other people from outside the USA go so often to the United Stated National Parks is at least for us we learn a about it in school a bit and here in particular there was a kids show where one of the seasons was fully centered around the USA en fully recorded there. Especially featuring The national parks on the west coast as well as the Orlando Theme Parks. Its why I love the countryside and amusement parks of your country so much.
The Mascot is Terrifying!
You just inspired my next vacation. Thanks!
keep up the lotr references! I'm loving it!!
Wow! Never been there...wondered about the real place...thank you Justin! I've been through the mountain tunnel into Yosemite several times...do not like it so long that it takes awhile to even see the light at the end of the tunnel either! I'm going in from another direction next time even though there were lights inside.
I definitely recommend delicate arch, it was breathtaking!
Tormund Giantsbane is the mascot? That is amazing!
Justin, you crack me up! 😊 safe travels 😊
Thanks homie, much love!!!
You did great with your Utah and Mormon history!
Best time to visit imo is October! Great weather. No crowds.
Dude I live in Utah, and as soon as I go to Disneyland he goes to Utah!!!!
Awsome vid. Great quality on filming.
The pattern in the weird rocks you saw are called crossbeds. They are formed by wind blowing sand dunes before they became rock.
That area is really gorgeous! I gotta visit it sometime! :)
Awesome!!! Will definitely have to visit Utah.
OMG!!!! This just totally blew me away, this is so cool that you are in St. George Utah Justin, I live in this area......Welcome to one of the most spectacular scenic places in the world. BTW: I posted a couple of time lapse drives on You Tube of this surrounding area, check it out if you may. I have been to Zion and Bryce canyons numerous times and it never gets old.
welcome to Utah! I love it here!
Wished I had known you were here would have loved to say Hi. I live in St. George. Chatted with Adam at d23 Expo where you went Full Disney! I also think we met a few years ago at Trader Sams. Great videos!
You gotta go back to Zion and do the shuttle tours. It's amazing. I love Zion, its my favorite National Park tied with Yellowstone.
sooo beautiful!
