- Exploring an amazing canyon in Utah
This was a fun trip to an unknown canyon outside Big Water, Utah. I'm not going to give a bunch of information about it, but I'll show you what it looks like. If you try hard enough, you can find it.

That’s a place you could describe as eerily beautiful. Grey everything…rock, sky, mood. It’s why the southwest is so beautiful. Turn a corner and you are on a different planet. Thanks for the view.
I can always count on Jerry Arizona to produce videos that are entertaining, humorous, interesting, scenic, etc, etc, etc.
The tumbleweed was a nice touch😂
That area is dream like. Stunning, desolate desert beauty.
The overcast skies make that place look even more surreal. As Buzz Aldrin described the Moon; "Magnificent Desolation".
Perfect words to describe this place.
Beautiful Work once again .. many thanks Jerry.
What an amazing place. There are so many wild surface textures and shapes in the rock there unlike any I've seen at other places. Thanks for posting this excellent video.
I half expected to see Fred Flintstone in the background. That land looks like he'd be right at home there.
No matter how much you show us, you're barely scratching the surface.
🏜️✌️🖖
Immer wieder erstaunlich, wie toll Arizonas und Utahs Landschaften sind. Supervideo!
Wow, my friend and I were there a couple weeks ago. We walked in from the other direction and had a similar "adventure" with dead ends on the way out. Very beautiful place - I hope you get a chance to explore the other sections.
Really cool. I love when you go to places hardly anybody else goes to. Some really different formations. Get well soon.
Absolutely positively amazing driven by trail head many times 👍👍👏👏
Looks like the surface of another planet. Utah is positively amazing.
❤ awesome thank you❤
You’ve been on a roll lately
Just like the tumbleweed 😏😏😂
That area never lets us down!
Love that area. One of my favorites.
If you drained a ocean and let it dry for a million years , Thats what it would look like . Not many mamals survive there either. I do like hiking that
kind of landscape , So much rock formations all around you. Thanks again.
Wow! Eerily beautiful. Thank you for taking us on this journey. - stay safe
You"re right--super fragile geologic environment. thanks for filming & sharing.
My jaw is on the floor . . . the Red rocks balancing upon the tops of the White column . . . otherworldly and stunningly beautiful. You are giving all of our imaginations and senses a lot of content to go crazy with. I've been to Utah once, and when vacation time was up, I knew I hadn't stayed and explored nearly long enough. With all of your videos lately, I have at least a couple months' worth of places to check out when I come back! Yhsnkd got sll og yhr inspiration.
Your vlogs are so stunning.
Nice One. Loved the tumbleweed at 0:44 and the rock review at 7:07. The moody light, white white rock. thanks for sharing...
What a beautiful and unusual landscape. Another wonderful video Jerry. Hope you feel better soon.
Regarding the 9:14 mark... Grandpa use to say "Son, if it hurt the first time, probably gonna hurt the second time too... " Yup, Gramps was wise like that. 😆
Right?
You've taken ALL the mystery out of the question of "Where do they film those alien landscape shots for Star Trek??"
Stunning views. Thanks for sharing.
WOW!!! One of your best videos- what an amazing spot. The juxtaposition of the grey with red rocks balanced on top was unworldly- I enjoyed every frame of this one. Thanks for sharing and thanks for not sharing the location. Keep it relatively untouched for as long as possible.
Very cool look with those clouds....... Ominous.
Found this place several years ago - one of my favorite under the radar places to get away from civilization and feel like you are on another planet. Been here twice and both times I was the only one there. I'm passing through that area tomorrow, maybe I'll stop and do another section since I'll be in the area. Thanks for not disclosing the location, although if determined it's not too hard to find. There's also a second valley section beyond the one you were in. Takes some route finding and scrambling to get there but it's just as interesting. I see the tumbleweeds are still there....ouch.
I was looking and looks like there is a lot more out there. I have probably 6~7 places in that area I want to check out and I'm sure there are a lot more.
Another place we have to find in Utah! Thanks for the video
Tumbleweeds Tumbleweeds are an invasive species. There were no Tumbleweeds in the old west as depicted in many western movies. There were over 5,000 western movies made and few survive.
What a tortured landscape. i recall seeing something like this when we were helicopter camping in Utah many years ago.
Your video production skills are now some of the best along with the music choices.
The running Tumbleweed clip was just Kool.
Thanks for the little adventure.
What an amazing place Jerry&Tina... Thank you for sharing. It's like another world. Thank you for not being explicit with the location
wow. could be there for days photographing
What a beautiful and otherworldly, fragile landscape! So many tumbleweeds! Reminds me of..the "Trouble with Tribbles". from Star Trek.
Oh man....I'm old enough to know that reference too. Off the original airing, even.
Wow, there is almost no vegetation back in there. Love the cloudy sky with this landscape too. Great day for a hike back there, I would think with full sun it would be hellishly hot.
We lucked out with weather that day. It would be brutal in the summer.
Loving your channel in England. Thank you for all your beautiful, hard work. 💞
WOW! So other-worldly…just breathtakingly beautiful and made even more amazing with background music! Amazing video and thanks for keeping this site protected
Hoo Doo? You Doo!! Me Do Hoo Doo's Too! 😁😂😆
Thank you again! Fantastic, and the music fits perfectly. Best regards from down under! Annie
Absolutely amazing!!! I live in Alabama but will be in southern UT next month. I’m always looking for new places to hike.
That was truly spectacular!!!! Thank you,. I love Utah, but, it is a long way away. I don't get to go there often enough,.. but it was sure nice to see this video. Peace
Beautiful Video Great Music
LOVE landscapes like this! Photographers paradise (at least for me)! Cool tumbleweed chase shot :-)
Wow ! Such amazing cinematography in this beautiful video. Hope your feeling much better now :) How old are those rocks do you know ? - the darker ones on top of the whiter rocks below? They have no sign human interference. So amazing how the heavy rain came just when you made it back to your car. Thank you for this perfect video in every way.
You're welcome. I have no idea how old the rocks are though. I just like looking at them. Gotta be pretty old though. The white portions are soft and washed away over hundreds (thousands?) of years. The red rocks are more dense and heavy, so they compact the white portions underneath so they're more solid and don't wash away....ending up with hoodoos. At least that's how I think it happens.
Excited to watch. I'm sick right now
Looks like another world. Classic B movie Mars.
The scenes chasing the tumbleweeds are Epic! Another great video Jerry. Hope you're feeling better
Thanks for showing the pretty flowers too. Feel better soon!
Nice trip !
loved the blowing tumbleweed shot
Thanks! Felt like an idiot chasing it, but it was kinda fun and looked pretty cool.
I was in Coyote Gulch today and came to a number of spots where the tumbleweeds were just piled into corners of the trail so one had to reroute a bit. Love to see them, hate to hike with them.
After all, good to see some rain in the desert.
Back at it again adding things to my bucket list! This place looks so dystopian. Incredible! Also, everyone here in Utah feels the same about our tumbleweed epidemic 😂
I've been hiking in Utah forever and never saw it like that. It was wild.
WOW!!!!! What an incredible area. Love the humor and the different and scenic places you go. Makes me want to travel out west now.
WOW! Outstanding video. What a magical landscape. Love the soundtrack.
Plenty of those darn stickery ol tumbleweeds here in Texas too.
You’re such an inspiration, Jerry! Love all your videos!
As always, awesome video capturing this canyon, y'all! I can't wait to get back to the AZ & UT areas. 👍🏻
Did you see any tumbleweeds? Looks like a good day! Thanks for sharing.
I think I saw 1...maybe 2.
Tenacious Tina.....for Governor!! 😜
Lol@tumbleweed shot. That was awesome lol
Having lived in Page, AZ for 2.5 years I can assure you that those are not the only hoodoos to be seen. I think I know where you are at and I am pretty confident I didn't explore the area you went to. Glad you had fun. Make sure you are on the south side of Wahweap wash before that wash gets flooded out. You will have to wait a few days if on the wrong side if flash flood goes through.
Definitely good advice. I've hiked portions of that wash and can see where it would be a problem to cross in the wrong conditions.
Yours is the best video I’ve seen for that hike. You know how to show the uniqueness & beauty. I hope to hike there sometime! Thanks!
You never disappoint! Even sick, you make the most engaging video!
Good stuff, I hope to have a chance to visit some of these spots up north. You have a good eye for scenery and framing a view, and adding Tina helps show the scale.
Another Beautiful Video Who's Color Was Actually Enhanced By The Overcast Sky
The skies were on our side with both the lighting AND waiting to start pouring until we got to the truck.
Surreal !
Hi! I am in Utah also. Hiked some slot canyons off Notom road near capital reef. So much fun here. Like a giant playground.
That is a fun drive. We love taking the Burr switchbacks then looping back up to Capitol Reef.
very cool
Been following you for a while and enjoy your videos! Can I ask what video editing program you use? A friend and I recently starting a RUclips channel and are looking to learn and hear about what other are using that works well for them - Thank you in advance for your insights!
I'm using Premiere Pro. I know there are others out there that are probably just as good, but this is what I learned on. And it's a huge learning curve, so once you learn one program, you stick with it because you don't want to go through that curve again. It does everything I want and more, but there are other options.
absolutely bonkers
How beautiful. So you want us to play "guess that canyon"? There's a suggestion of Bryce or Escalante in the orange coloring.
Always excited to see a new video release! Scrolled through most of your video history but maybe I missed it....have you ever done the Hopi Salt Trail?
Haven't done that one yet. Always been one reason or another I can't go. This year it's the shoulder. We'll get there though.
Hey Jerry,
I stumbled across this today. This is pretty cool stuff. Looks like things are going well. I'm glad I found this.
Love it Jerry! We were just in Bigwater a few weeks ago!
0:41 looks like you have the same issue of the tread peeling off the sole that I had with those same shoes. I reached out to altra and they gave me an e-giftcard for the retail value of the shoes. You should try that.
This is my second set in about 6 months. I just take them back to REI if they fall apart during the first year. Love the shoes. Hate how easily they fall apart.
Mucho Gracious ❤️
A very dramatic, bizarre landscape, it looks a very tranquil setting, almost a Lord of the Rings vibe. Its not a difficult place to find either. I seem to remember there is a very exclusive hotel not too far away, in that general area ( unless I'm mistaken)?
Sorta that area. I think further toward Kanab.
The Hotel Amangiri/ Resorts actual address is Canyon Point, near Lake Powell. It takes approx 25 minutes to drive there from Page.Municipal Airport. Read about it in the UK Times paper a while ago. Costs 3000 dollars per night some while ago. Out of my range, prefer my tent, camping at Wahweap .@Jerr yArizona
I've found that dam on Google Earth. There are a few of them, but water used to run there.
Thanks for not giving the location away.
Just got back from Moab for the first time in about 25 years and was aghast at what the area has become.
This is a gem.
We look forward to your adventures every week!
Late in life hiking lovers from the East Coast, and believe that the Arizona/Utah landscape is mesmerizing! We invite you and Tina east. Just did the Old Rag Mountain Loop. Check it out.
My wife left her expensive prescription sunglasses around the 4 minute mark, any chance you found them? 😂. Such an amazing place, thanks for the memories.
Absolutely. And there are probably dozens of places like this in that area.
In the beginning of the video, I thought you said you were looking for some hooters… 🦉 🦉
What planet were you transported to? Scottie, beam me up!
came for the music, stayed for the hoodoos
Stayed for the who?
I live in Page and this is by far my favorite hike, let's keep it a secret.
Hi, love your videos. I was on the Peralta Trail yesterday, May 25th and I think we crossed paths while we were coming down. We said hello and had a very short chat but I wasn’t sure it was you folks. Were you and your wife out there yesterday?
Thanks! Nope, wasn't us. But whoever they were, they must have been a damn fine looking couple.
@@JerryArizona of course they were. lol. Again love your videos.
Tumbleweed hibernation? That is one sweet looking area!
I like your hiking shoes and I keep meaning to ask what brand and model?
Altra Olympus. Great traction. Comfortable. I've worn them on long hikes without breaking them in and no blisters. BUT....they fall apart really easily. I buy them at REI and have already had to return one pair this year. Figure they'll last a year at most. Still worth it to me for the comfort, but man I wish they'd build them sturdier.
@@JerryArizona thanks for the info, I will check them out. I've been wearing Merrell Moabs for over a decade and wondering if there is something better... I have tried Oboz and they fell apart. Also tried on a pair of Salomons but didn't like the feel...
🎼 Mr Big Stuff, “hoodoo” you think you are?🎤
I sound like a broken record but…another amazing video
"You remind me of a man. What man? A man with the power. What power? The power of Hoodoo. Hoodoo? You do. Do what? You remind me of a man..."
Tina would appreciate this comment.
Been there. There is a road in from the north,
Tumbleweeds😂😂
first part looks a little like some sections in coal mine canyon in AZ.....gonna be out that way in Sept and might have time to hit the white rocks and the ghost
I need to find a way I can visit INSIDE Coal Mine canyon. Only camped on the rim, but it looks amazing down in it.
@@JerryArizona i'll be checking it out this fall with these directions from google...."The trail starts to the east of the windmill and campground. About 150 feet west of a fence that goes over the edge, a faint trail leads down the north side of a mound can be found. Go around and more to the east, under the lower end of a fence. Then down the steep drainage toward the bottom, and into this picturesque canyon"
Okay, I'm 4 minutes in and wish to know WHO placed the RED stone caps on top of the WHITE spires??????
I think it works like this. You have a layer of softer soil (white) and denser rock (red). Over time, water erodes the softer soil. But where there is a dense, heavy rock above the softer soil, it doesn't erode with the surrounding, unpacked soil. And in the end, you get a rock on top of a pillar as the white soil around erodes. (But I'm guessing and could be completely wrong, so I'm not sure why I even typed that.)
I’ve been there so keep it a secret all you want.
Jerry, would you stop doing that!! you’re being silly brother. If you give the name of the trail head I can guarantee you the number of people to visit that trail, head or area will not change. 36K subscribers, although that’s 36k more than me. Come on man!!
Don’t take my words too harshly still love the videos you and Tina are great
Exactly. Too hard to get to for most casual tourists. Dedicated hikers know how to pass through without ruining things.
I live there. He missed the better one nearby.
If it's the more well known one off the wash, we went there years ago. Pretty amazing and much larger hoodoos. I really enjoyed the valley here where everything was just white rock though. Felt like another planet.
@@JerryArizona no it isn't the wahweap hoodoos, check out sidestep canyon in Michael Kelley's hiking and exploring the paria River, the best book on this area
😂😂😂👊
It looks like w*****p H*****s Trail!
Nope. But in the ballpark.
Why are you always so grumpy man!
I don't recall being grumpy ion this trip. I felt sick at the beginning of the hike. Maybe it's just my normal personality that seems like I am?
No Mexican food ☹️ ?
Nope. No Mexican restaurants nearby on this trip.
Beautiful spot again. Good of you to keep that pristine spot secret! Also, I should be glad that I don’t live in Arizona because I wouldn’t have time to work, I’d be out every day. 😜🫢🇳🇱🇺🇸
