Oh man. I so want to be in Utah. It’s pouring 🌧 here in Florida. Dinosaurs? Can’t wait. So cool how this community helps each other find great spots. We just got a drone so we can’t wait to do shots like yours. I love seeing ruins. I’m glad these are protected. Oh woah. 400! How can you not love dinosaur tracks. Petroglyphs too. What a trip. Another awesome adventure. Take care. Alice
Grand Adventure we just got a Mavic Air 2. Larry used to build his own and race them. Big clunky ones. Larry is currently still full time. We hope to be out of Florida after June. Thanks to you, we cook on our Magma kettle grill all the time. We thanked you in our last video- as Larry was washing it 🤣😂. Alice.
Beautiful job showing the uniqueness of Southern Utah. I was born not too far from St. George in Cedar City (50 miles up the road) and absolutely love this country (now live in Texas). I’m new to your channel but wanted to tell you of another beautiful place not too far from Zion called Kolab Mountain. This area was my playground when I was a teenager. Thank you for showing everyone the beauty of the red hills!
Indeed, Jennifer, Kolob Canyon is spectacular. As Utahns for the past 15 years we're certainly well acquainted with it, and one day we will do an episode down there. Welcome to the channel, we are thrilled to have you here!
Very timely episode for my wife and I. We are RV'ing in Hurricane right now, so it was good opportunity to visit the Petroglyphs you showed in on this episode. Thanks for the idea, it was a really cool place to visit!
Contrast of ancient petroglyphs and dino tracks with the new, fragile desert bloom sure gives one pause to reflect on how fleeting our time here is. Thanks for sharing amazing views.
Hi Marc, I couldn't remember which episode it was, but we stayed at the gorgeous campsite you had scoped out that overlooked Zion NP, right near the Town of Apple Valley. It was posted driving in, but I found another entry down the road that wasn't posted, although it would be a bit of a rough ride to bring the trailer down, the truck made it though. They had Zion Tours come by a few times a day once with 2 trucks with tourists that would stop & look out at the fantastic view. No one bothered us, as I had checked to see it was on BLM land, but you do have to cross private land to access the spot. I had also talked with a local walking her dog who told me it was the LDS group that owned it & they just wanted to keep the partiers out. Thanks for sharing another awesome site!
Hey Marc, that's a beautiful place, I wish we had the time when we were at Watchman to stay there a few nights, but we did get to St. George one evening for supplies at Walmart and washed the truck, it was our first experience with all the air born tree sap or pollen but whatever it was it covered out truck and camper but it came off easy! Lol. We would love to go back in the near future and stay where you are staying! Be safe my friend!!
We were just at Little Black Mountain last week absolutely loved it. We also hiked through Snow Canyon State Park it's absolutely beautiful. Next on our list is Cathedral Gorge State Park going through St George.
We’re near Brian Head in the Dixie NF but just came from Leeds near St George, visiting the same sites. The heat drove us to higher elevations. Nice video, good sequencing and music, thx.
Whereabouts, along Sheep Bridge Road? And yes, love In-and-Out! We've got a ton of them in SLC. Unlike most folks, I seem to be more impressed with their fries.
@@GrandAdventure it was in 2015 November. We stayed in the park continuing to capture cancelled reservations. We had to leave right before Thanksgiving. Halloween was fun in the park.
Appreciate that Gord! I wasn't thrilled with this one myself, but beginning with next week's episode from Nebraska National Forest -- the first episode in this summer's #AmericanHeartlandTour2020 -- I'm absolutely tickled with the way the next few episodes turned out. I actually find it more inspiring, and therefore easier, to film locations that I'm not already familiar with. It's too easy to stare right past something amazing when you're already familiar with it, whereas exploring a new area is a hunt for things that I'm able to discover for the first time through a lens.
@@GrandAdventure Thanks for that insight. That is very true, Marc. On the other hand, from a photographic perspective, I have found that images can vary from season to season and day to day. Lighting is so dynamic. The only way I was able to find that out was through photographing the same scenes week by week over several years finding better and better lighting of a great landscape subject. Certain fall and winter sunsets can completely change the lighting of an otherwise drab landscape making it into something else entirely. It reminds me of a fractal that goes deeper into itself than what appears just on the surface. I realize you don't have the time or interest to invest in such endeavors. But the fact remains that lighting on a day to day basis is so variable that there is a multiplicity of landscape effects in any one scene. I found that out by chance... You will see it as well as you revisit places on various occasions. Just because you have covered it earlier, photograph it again if the lighting is unique. You may be surprised. Doesn't mean you need to do a video episode. Just a couple of stills with your camera of a favorite landscape. Gord
@@gorrdd that is absolutely true as well, and I've certainly made those observations. That speaks to your astute eye, for it's not obvious to everyone. I just find that I have more cinematic and creative inspiration when exploring an area for the first time. A perfect example is my beloved Alta, Utah. I'm skiing there sometimes more than 100 days in a single season, so I have taken more photographs of Mount Baldy and Mount Superior than I can possibly ever count. Each one is unique -- the lighting, the weather, and the snow pack vary by the day or even by the minute -- but I've found it difficult to film a full-length video at Alta. It's almost too familiar, such that I find myself taking the same shot time and time again, and overlook unique camera angles and subjects that would be more obvious to me if it was my first time there.
@@GrandAdventure Very interesting Marc. I don't have experience with video. It is a completely different discipline. And like everything else, requires study and practice. One thing I've noticed over the years is to look out of the corner of my eye to catch a new perspective. It forces you to see things differently from the minds eye. This is where you access different parts of your brain through different eye movements. It's the brain that has the eye that processes insight. Tricking your brain to access information differently helps to offer new insight. Experiment with it. Usually the upper right eye angle helps to process. You likely already do this unconsciously. If that doesn't work, try looking up out the other side. Look around as you are doing this... literally looking out of the corner of your eye. Gord
You're most welcome Tom, but July? Unless you love blistering heat, I can't recommend Pipeline Road or anywhere in the St. George area for July. Bryce is at a much higher elevation.
@@GrandAdventure Yes, I know. That's why I said I "might" give it a try. It would have to be a cool evening (less than 75F after 8pm) to consider trying out that spot, which is unlikely. The early July timeframe was not our choice, as we are meeting out son, wife and grandkids in Bryce, during their trip back from Nebraska. I'm hoping Bryce will be around 80F at 8000', according to the weather history.
That is awesome, Robert! It takes time to see it right. For us, because it's in our own back yard southern Utah has been seen one weekend at a time for over 15 years now, and we still feel like we've only scratched the surface.
Well Curt, then just hang in there 1 more week. ;) Our #AmericanHeartland2020 series will begin June 10 and last weekly on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer.
This is great. I'm in the area now, but can not find "Pipeline Road". Lots of good info on the area, but no directions to the camp sites on Pipeline Road....
Thanks Nathan! Pipeline Road still doesn't appear on Google Maps, but the first part of it is now visible on Satellite: goo.gl/maps/1TMi5LirysCtWUHo9 . That's the road, just continue a couple of miles further north than where the road appears to end on the latest satellite view.
This was a great video with some really interesting parts. I cannot even imagine the feeling of being there next to a footprint of a dinosaur! The petroglyphs make me wonder if some thousands of years from now, someone will be looking at the graffiti of our time and try to figure out what in the world were they trying to say? The view looked awesome!! Nice spot. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼
Thank you Bob! Most of the sites along Pipeline Road would accommodate your rig just fine, and you should have no issues turning around in most of them either.
Marc, another great video. We have a suggestion for you. Is it possible for you to organize a Grand Advanture Group to your favorite spot? Once a year?
Thank you! We've thought about it. So far we've done one scheduled meet-up, but it wasn't camping -- it was grabbing some beer and chicken wings in SLC. We're also now exploring a potential meet-up in the Smoky Mountains at the end of this month that's likely to be sparsely attended if it happens. But with enough advance planning we could actually pull something like that off. The trick is pinning ourselves down that far in advance. ;)
Thanks as always TR! You'd have no issue in any number of those sites along Pipeline Road. You'd just have to be careful of a couple of the manhole covers for the pipeline. As you may see in the clips where we filmed driving down that road, they've left a few of those pipeline access covers somewhat exposed above the surrounding roadway.
Looks like a great place. Could you possibly give some directions to Pipeline rd since its a new rd? I plan on being in the area in the next month. thanks! Rhonda
You bet, Rhonda. North of the airport, exit Southern Parkway (UT-7) at Warner Valley Road. Head east on Warner Valley Road up the hill about a mile -- just past the crest of the hill is a large parking area with several roads splitting off. Bear left as the Warner Valley road bears southeast here, such that you're traveling due east for a few hundred yards, then you'll take a left to head due north on Pipeline Road. The BLM campsites are about 4 miles north on Pipeline Road. HTH!
Thank you so much Josette, we love having you watch them. We picked up those chairs at Camping World a few years back, and we have some essentially identical ones in our Amazon shop www.amazon.com/shop/GrandAdventure . They're über-comfy!
Marc, Grand Adventure never disappoints. Thanks for your high quality and informative productions. I’m new to boon-docking with my special needs son. Regarding fire pits and fire rings while boon-docking, in your experience would you recommend ever hauling your own portable wood fire pit, or is that an unnecessary or maybe even a discouraged item? Regards, Rich G.
There are reasons for bringing a portable fire pan, especially a foldable one, if you happen to be in an area where ground fires are not permitted but wood fires are. Generally, though, we simply use an existing fire ring made out of rocks, or worst case scenario construct our own and then dismantle it afterwards.
Thanks Ken & Leah! That's just another layer, another land form. In southern Utah you'll often find strikingly different colors in the mesas just from different mineral content.
Did you loose your camping chair? I found one that looks just like the ones in your video. It was sitting in the middle of I-15 northbound coming out of the gorge right before black rock exit. I like youe video. Showing me some new places i havent check out. I lived in st. George since 1971. I Love to go roaming our surrounding area. If so that you lost your chair i have it .
Nope Sonja, that's not ours but thank you for thinking of us. You're living in a wonderful area and thank you for your kind words. Now if I were you, I'd go back and edit your comment to remove that cell phone number. 😉
Hey Marc! Another great video! Keep 'em up!. Got a question, it looks relatively narrow but well graveled to a point. What is the situation for turn-around of a rig, say a 33 (actually 37ft 4 inches to fifth wheel pin) along that road?
great video glad i found your channel . question we are heading from Los Angeles soon to Zion then down to Prescott - watched your prescott video also - on this one with the camp spot on the pipeline - did you take your trailer up the mtn trail or did you leave it somewhere ? Thanks - and great videos
We left it at camp on Pipeline Road, as Seegmiller Mountain was just a day trip from camp. The last half mile of that road to the top would be very steep, tight and rocky for all but the tiniest, most rugged trailers.
@@GrandAdventure thanks - we are planning our road trip around your videos - Los Angeles out to UT and down back via AZ .. can i hit the seegmiller in a Ram 1500 new hemi 4x2 ?
Thank you Lisa! Our drone is a first generation DJI Mavic Pro. Everything we use to create Grand Adventure is included here: www.amazon.com/shop/GrandAdventure?listId=29P8DKMLOCJAX
How is the Warner valley road for pulling rv to camp sites there. We’re thinking about camping there in March but dont know the area and don’t want to get stuck.
Last we checked Pipeline Road had yet to be added to Google Maps -- or any maps that we could find, actually. From Southern Parkway head east on Warner Valley Road. Warner Valley Road climbs eastward away from Southern Parkway, and that the top of the hill there was a construction staging area last spring. At that point fork left to continue eastward where Warner Valley Road bends southeast. In 100-200 yards you'll come to a "T". That's Pipeline Road, turn left and head north for around 4 miles to the campsites.
Yes Tracy, we miss seeing them on Wednesday nights, too. I know that the last time we saw them at a Premiere they mentioned that they've been very busy with the pandemic situation at work, given that they both work in healthcare.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy! PS. I was annoyed by the crashing music. Most of your music is perfect, but the cymbals? were not beautiful. Maybe I should say not GRAND! hahaha
That is a great place but you left out some important info like there is private property out and that place is still a working ranch a livelihood for those guys kinda disappointed you dont bring any off that up
Nick, I'm not sure what land you are referring to but the land we were camped on is managed by the BLM. It is not private property, as verified by surface land management maps.
Ya your right were you were camping is BLM but about a half mile from the city water tank on the hill to the southeast is all private on both sides of the road and yes it is posted
@@nickcottam5961 I'm not sure we're talking about the same area. Take a look at the Google Maps pin in the video description. There was nothing posted anywhere along the new pipeline road at all, nor did we see any water tank. I would just like to be sure that we're talking about the same spot.
New Subscriber. Loved the episode. ironically we're staying in St. George right now and are having troubles finding another boondocking spot. We saw your episode and are wondering how did you access Pipeline Rd? We too we're staying on the east side on the Arizona strip. Just finished filming two videos, one at Quail Creek and the other at Sand Hill. Check them out if you get a chance!
Excellent, we will! You get the pipeline road from the Warner Valley Road. Go up the hill from the Southeast Parkway and when you get to the construction site bear left. Go about 4 mi and you will reach the campsites.
Agreed, actually, and it's not the lens but rather the sensor. We've been dogged with sensor dirt on that Sony a6500 despite the fact that we hardly ever swap out lenses.
@@GrandAdventure yeah time for a new camera! It's a shame cause your camerawork is great, but then you get a black speck in there ruining all that hard work. Your Teton episode had it too.
Utah never looks the same with every visit. Beautiful!!
So true, Candie -- thank you!
Wow.... As far as you can see. Look at that. Stunning.
Yes folks, it's a gorgeous area. We had a wonderful weekend in St George.
Oh man. I so want to be in Utah. It’s pouring 🌧 here in Florida. Dinosaurs? Can’t wait. So cool how this community helps each other find great spots.

Thanks Alice! Which drone did you get? They're so much fun to film and photograph with. Call me silly, but what's keeping you tied to Florida now?

Hello from Okinawa, Japan! We’ve only driven through here, but next time we will have to stop and explore. Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
You're most welcome! That was our premise, that most people think it's just a way to get there. But St George has a lot to see in its own right.
Hey Marc, that's a beautiful place, I wish we had the time when we were at Watchman to stay there a few nights, but we did get to St. George one evening for supplies at Walmart and washed the truck, it was our first experience with all the air born tree sap or pollen but whatever it was it covered out truck and camper but it came off easy!

We agree, Danny.
Love the tracks, we'll be in that area this summer and we'll have to check them out. Great tips!
Thank you Beata! Glad that you enjoyed this one.
Love St, George
As do we, Sandra.
Wow , nice video Marc. The Scenery is terrific!
Thank you JT!
Wonderful area.
It truly is, Spell Madam.
Marc, thanks to you, my bucket list is running over with places to visit and camp!!! Great job and truly many thanks!
The thanks should be ours, Dennis -- thank you for such a heartwarming comment. It's truly appreciated.
always, thumbs up.
Appreciate it as always, Joe!
We were just at Little Black Mountain last week absolutely loved it. We also hiked through Snow Canyon State Park it's absolutely beautiful. Next on our list is Cathedral Gorge State Park going through St George.
Well that was timing for this episode, wasn't it? Glad you enjoyed your visit to St George as well.
Extra jam packed with boondocking ideas. It's an area on our tentative list for Fall this year.
Happy that we could help make the list, Bryan!
Another great one!!
👍
And another great comment that's very much appreciated, thank you.
Your welcome!
We just pulled in here with our 34’ Motorhome and it really is a great place! Thanks! Also we have it all to ourselves!
Excellent! So happy to hear that it worked out for you.
We’re near Brian Head in the Dixie NF but just came from Leeds near St George, visiting the same sites. The heat drove us to higher elevations. Nice video, good sequencing and music, thx.
Yes.. i love the lookand even enjoyed the heat for awhile. Now in Pa.
Thank you Michael, enjoy Dixie NF! Did you pull a trailer up UT-143? That must've been sporting.
Very well done video. I'm putting this on my list of places to visit and camp. Thanks - Dan

Head east on Warner Valley Road up the hill about a mile -- just past the crest of the hill is a large parking area with several roads splitting off. Bear left as the Warner Valley road bears southeast here, such that you're traveling due east for a few hundred yards, then you'll take a left to head due north on Pipeline Road. The BLM campsites are about 4 miles north on Pipeline Road. HTH!
What a beautiful site! We love your videos. Where did you get those chairs?
Thank you so much Josette, we love having you watch them. We picked up those chairs at Camping World a few years back, and we have some essentially identical ones in our Amazon shop www.amazon.com/shop/GrandAdventure . They're über-comfy!
Marc, Grand Adventure never disappoints. Thanks for your high quality and informative productions. I’m new to boon-docking with my special needs son. Regarding fire pits and fire rings while boon-docking, in your experience would you recommend ever hauling your own portable wood fire pit, or is that an unnecessary or maybe even a discouraged item? Regards, Rich G.
There are reasons for bringing a portable fire pan, especially a foldable one, if you happen to be in an area where ground fires are not permitted but wood fires are. Generally, though, we simply use an existing fire ring made out of rocks, or worst case scenario construct our own and then dismantle it afterwards.
Awesome Mark... at 10:22 what is that dark gray area in the center of the frame?
Thanks Ken & Leah! That's just another layer, another land form. In southern Utah you'll often find strikingly different colors in the mesas just from different mineral content.
Thank you for ur reply.
👍
Did you loose your camping chair? I found one that looks just like the ones in your video. It was sitting in the middle of I-15 northbound coming out of the gorge right before black rock exit. I like youe video. Showing me some new places i havent check out. I lived in st. George since 1971. I Love to go roaming our surrounding area. If so that you lost your chair i have it .
Nope Sonja, that's not ours but thank you for thinking of us. You're living in a wonderful area and thank you for your kind words. Now if I were you, I'd go back and edit your comment to remove that cell phone number. 😉
The video looks great Marc!
Glad you think so Eric! Thank you so very much.
Good stuff!
Thanks as always Gringo!
Hey Marc! Another great video! Keep 'em up!. Got a question, it looks relatively narrow but well graveled to a point. What is the situation for turn-around of a rig, say a 33 (actually 37ft 4 inches to fifth wheel pin) along that road?
You are practically in my back yard. Is this area off SR-7? Lived here for 7 years and have not seen some of these plac3s
Yes - east of SR-7, south of Sand Hollow and north of Warner Valley Road. Glad that we could show you some new things in your home area!
Lovely!!
Thank you Marian! 😊
great video glad i found your channel . question we are heading from Los Angeles soon to Zion then down to Prescott - watched your prescott video also - on this one with the camp spot on the pipeline - did you take your trailer up the mtn trail or did you leave it somewhere ? Thanks - and great videos
We left it at camp on Pipeline Road, as Seegmiller Mountain was just a day trip from camp. The last half mile of that road to the top would be very steep, tight and rocky for all but the tiniest, most rugged trailers.
@@GrandAdventure thanks - we are planning our road trip around your videos - Los Angeles out to UT and down back via AZ .. can i hit the seegmiller in a Ram 1500 new hemi 4x2 ?
@@punkerjack absoutely. Have a wonderful trip!
What drone are you using? Great photography!!
Thank you Lisa! Our drone is a first generation DJI Mavic Pro. Everything we use to create Grand Adventure is included here: www.amazon.com/shop/GrandAdventure?listId=29P8DKMLOCJAX
How is the Warner valley road for pulling rv to camp sites there. We’re thinking about camping there in March but dont know the area and don’t want to get stuck.
Really, those roads are graded and fairly good as a result. Plus it's very dry, so getting stuck is only a very distant possibility.
When I map the coordinates via googlemaps, it puts it in the terrain between two roads . Does anyone have more detailed driving directions?
Last we checked Pipeline Road had yet to be added to Google Maps -- or any maps that we could find, actually. From Southern Parkway head east on Warner Valley Road. Warner Valley Road climbs eastward away from Southern Parkway, and that the top of the hill there was a construction staging area last spring. At that point fork left to continue eastward where Warner Valley Road bends southeast. In 100-200 yards you'll come to a "T". That's Pipeline Road, turn left and head north for around 4 miles to the campsites.
I have been out of the loop...have you heard from MAMANURSE or JustSomeMedic?
Yes Tracy, we miss seeing them on Wednesday nights, too. I know that the last time we saw them at a Premiere they mentioned that they've been very busy with the pandemic situation at work, given that they both work in healthcare.
@@GrandAdventure God bless them and all who are out there on tbe front line!
Wow, Marc FANTASTIC as always!
Glad you enjoyed it Gary! Thank you very much.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy! PS. I was annoyed by the crashing music. Most of your music is perfect, but the cymbals? were not beautiful. Maybe I should say not GRAND! hahaha
Thanks Jon, and we appreciate the constructive feedback. Just be happy that I don't turn to my personal music collection for the soundtracks. 😁
I camp only with ATV and dirt bikes!
Lots of folks share your passion.
Who the hell would leave a 👎 on this?
There's always one in every crowd. 🤣 Thanks so much Jim!
@@GrandAdventure enjoy you channel and the detailed content. Thank for the effort you make the videos ‼️
@@biologistjim4905 Thanks so much Jim! We truly appreciate counting you as a viewer.
299 like very nice
They couldn’t have made it easier to get to.
Except that I looked recently, and Pipeline Road is still not on Google maps!
That is a great place but you left out some important info like there is private property out and that place is still a working ranch a livelihood for those guys kinda disappointed you dont bring any off that up
Nick, I'm not sure what land you are referring to but the land we were camped on is managed by the BLM. It is not private property, as verified by surface land management maps.
Ya your right were you were camping is BLM but about a half mile from the city water tank on the hill to the southeast is all private on both sides of the road and yes it is posted
@@nickcottam5961 I'm not sure we're talking about the same area. Take a look at the Google Maps pin in the video description. There was nothing posted anywhere along the new pipeline road at all, nor did we see any water tank. I would just like to be sure that we're talking about the same spot.
You are right it doesn't show any private property out there none of the maps online will show you its private property why I dont know
New Subscriber. Loved the episode. ironically we're staying in St. George right now and are having troubles finding another boondocking spot. We saw your episode and are wondering how did you access Pipeline Rd? We too we're staying on the east side on the Arizona strip. Just finished filming two videos, one at Quail Creek and the other at Sand Hill. Check them out if you get a chance!
Excellent, we will! You get the pipeline road from the Warner Valley Road. Go up the hill from the Southeast Parkway and when you get to the construction site bear left. Go about 4 mi and you will reach the campsites.
@@GrandAdventure awesome thank you! We will definitely be checking them out!!🏜️🤙
@@Firechild704 I doubt you'll have much competition, if any, as hardly anybody knows that they're there yet.
specialized Turbo Levo
Sweet ride. I'm on an old Rocky Mountain Element Race.
Love the channel, but you gotta do a better job making sure your lenses are clean.
Agreed, actually, and it's not the lens but rather the sensor. We've been dogged with sensor dirt on that Sony a6500 despite the fact that we hardly ever swap out lenses.
@@GrandAdventure yeah time for a new camera! It's a shame cause your camerawork is great, but then you get a black speck in there ruining all that hard work. Your Teton episode had it too.
@@Sshooter444 yep, we practically cried when we saw that Teton footage.
The video looks great Marc!
Hey guys! Thanks so much for making this episode possible, we look forward to crossing paths again. Where are you now?
