Thank you so much!! I loved your Utah adventures!! Fingers crossed, I will be there this fall. Looking forward to Colorado. And by the way, I was drooling watching the eating of the quesadillas.
I’m 53yrs old. I was an OTR truck driver for 32yrs. I had to retire in 2018 due to a bad heart condition. I traveled through every state gathered every picture in my head that I could. But seeing you all finding all these little places, eateries, and such. Makes me want to drive you to these places so you all can relax and be full of extra energy for your hike so everyone can continue to enjoy the spectacular views and big smiles.
I have to say that I'm quite impressed by the continual improvement you've shown in your filming and editing skills over the past year. Also, the new format of spending more time at individual locations is a winning strategy and beats just pointing a camera at a particular hotspot for a few seconds. Keep up the great work.
Do I ever get tired of your vlogs? No, no I do NOT! The views are always epic, the food always delicious, and the inspiration off the charts! Thanks for the fun Adam and Katherine!
You two did Utah good!! I think the state of Utah owes this channel big bucks for the great photography and points of interest! Don't forget the food, YUM!!
As dog mom who loves to travel with her pup, I always appreciate when you guys highlight cool, dog friendly places! Thanks for always inspiring me to get out there and explore!
We really enjoyed that approach! We have already been in Colorado almost a month and still have almost a month to go! It’s nice to have more time to see things.
I had no idea of the story behind Dead Horse Point! 🐎 I didn't revisit the state park 2 years ago, but it was pretty infamous back in 2010. Before heading out there, I'd accidentally left my laptop (with 10 months worth of photos from my time living in Toronto and travels that followed) out on a picnic bench at a campground in Moab. Didn't realise until we were out at Dead Horse Point and assumed someone would have taken off with it by the time we got back. Amazingly, the laptop was still sat on the picnic bench on our return 😲 So it was nice to watch this and take in the views without feeling sick to my stomach!! Laughed so much at Adam saying he wouldn't drink the milk because of pride, meanwhile, Kathryn you're in the background swilling around and almost empty cup not caring at all! 🤣 It was really nice to see Corona Arch. Our Air BnB host a few years back had encouraged us to go to it but we ran out of time. You were so fortunate to have the arch to yourselves! 🙌 I am so happy you guys spent so much time in Utah and it looks like you've had a great time. Especially pleased you did the Devil's Garden trail in Arches. I had wondered if Colorado would be your next point of call as it will be heating up very quickly in the desert and going into the mountains should make things a little cooler. My money was either on Colorado or Northern California. ❤️
Oh my gosh, that restores my faith in humanity after losing it at Mesa Verde haha! And I will say, while Adam ate more of the chicken than me, the milk helped me from feeling heartburn. So I’ll say it was worth my pride lol! We are so glad we spent so much time in Utah as well. Very excited to share Colorado! Northern CA would be epic too! We still have a lot to do there!
BIG shout out to you guys! I have just did a whirlwind 2 weeks in Colorado and Utah. After getting leads on places to hit from u 2. I was able to do Rocky Mountain National Park first and got my lifetime pass since I'm 62. Then slept in my rav4 for a week in Moab. Did Arches,Canyonlands, DeadHorsePoint, Food truck in GreenRiver. GOT THOSE CHEEZY MEAT WHEEL THINGYS 😋. Did Goblin Valley slept there its Certified Dark Sky Area, what a light show. Capital Reef Bryce and Zion. On way back to Indy hit Monument Valley, Mogi Dugway and Valley of the God's. Doing Train museum in Durango now heading home tomorrow. TY 😉
Thanks so much for sharing some dog friendly options! We’re heading to Utah this summer with our 2 pups in tow and truly appreciate suggestions for including them in our adventures!
We mayyyy or may not have gotten another cronut so we could get the thumbnail photo. It was strictly for business purposes, so that makes it okay, right? 😜😜
Kids spring break this year we did a similar trip but in the opposite order. The chosen locations and how you approach the trails, video journaling, B- roll footage and editing are fantastic. Thanks for allow us to join your adventure.
Thank you so much Mark! Been trying very hard to continually get better at all aspects of filming, editing, etc. So this means a lot! We hope y'all had a blast on your trip!
Thank you for making Southeast Utah look and feel as fantastic as it is. Your photography is amazing and really brought out the many varied colors of the area.
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂 Quesadilla Mobilla will be a tough competitor for my food truck called Quesadillos (armadillo themed because Texas), but we may be able to take 'em!
Wow, your southern Utah videos were so much fun! They made us smile. Alex, Kathryn & Kona, may you continue your wonderful adventures in Colorado! Keep exploring! Thanks again!
Utah is hands down one of the best states if hiking is your thing. Dead Horse... pretty damn cool. It’s basically Grand Canyons Jr. I’ve only seen it in winter, but you can find some amazing sunsets/sun rises there. Corona arch, probably one of the more fun, short, day hikes I’ve ever been on. It’s got a bit of everything. Hiking, very mild “climbing”, and light scrambling. The arch itself is MASSIVE once you get right up to it never appreciated how soft sandstone actually was until I felt it give under my fingertips. Everyone owes themselves a trip to Utah’s state and national parks.
Dead Horse was so awesome! Loved the views, especially on the west side. And we couldn’t agree more about corona arch! We loved how unique and fun the trail was.
Another terrific video showcasing the Moab area. So much to see and do, and many reasons to return. I'm looking forward to your Colorado adventures. When I drove out there, I stopped several times along the way just to take in the scenic mountain views. Take care you two, and Kona too.
Fantastic closing video to a fantastic series of Utah. Incredible adventures you two had here. I normally usually only comment on the hikes and scenery but the food in this video looked amazing. I wish I was at that doughnut shop right now. Keeping the names of these places in my back pocket for future travels. That chicken sandwich brought back memories of my own run-in with a spicy chicken sandwich at the Bullfrog Brewery in Williamsport, PA. This was like 8 years ago now and I still remember this thing. I order the sandwich and the waitstaff was like, “no, this sandwich is like really hot.” I did not heed their warnings. Oh my gosh, it was so dang spicy. I am eating this thing and just dripping in sweat. I defeated it but did I really wouldn’t call it winning. Dead Horse Point SP was like a light version of the Grand Canyon. That was a really beautiful park.
Hahahah it’s wild how much heat can vary across the US! We just had the hottest level of wings the other day and they were not hot at all, but this sandwich nearly killed Adam 😂
Wonderful video! At 5:06--"Don't sleep on the state parks. ..." Yes, the Utah State Parks are incredible! You've done several which have been great--Coral Pink Sands Dunes, Goosenecks, and Goblin Valley come immediately to mind. You do such a great job of taking hikes where there aren't a lot of crowds. It's great how you include Kona but keep him on the leash--so considerate!
It's crazy how overlooked state parks can be! There is so much out there to enjoy beyond the National Parks! We are very big on leashing your dog! We truly do not understand the off leash mindset. Not everyone (or other dogs) wants a dog running up to them and not to mention how unsafe it is to let your dog run free in the wilderness with hazards and other dangerous wildlife. Kona is our best friend and we try to include her as much as we can!
My wife and I are planning a trip to Moab in October your video has inspired me to take that loop trail and see all the views that you videoed what an awesome view it was thank you.
All the hikes, arches, views and food looked amazing! Love getting looks at some of the lesser visited areas. Nice job navigating the climbs, ladders and ropes!
We are following your Moab hikes this weekend.. I was so excited to receive the last quesadilla of the 2021 season from Quesadilla Modilla for FREE. They closed their door until next March. I felt so lucky. Tomorrow we’re doing the Corona Arch and Dead Horse Point.. so excited. Thanks for the information ❤️ Doughbird for breakfast to start us off strong 💪🏼
The landscapes in this video are some of the most stunning I’ve seen. Dead horse point has been on my bucket list for quite some time now and seeing your footage sealed the deal. Can’t wait to explore Moab as well. Really well done piece.
Your videos on Arches, Canyonlands, and food suggestions for Moab have really enriched our vacation in Moab. We’re here now and looking forward to eating at Quesadilla Mobilla tomorrow … love some authentic food.
@@AdventuresofAplusK - Ate tonight at Quesadilla Mobilla and loved it. Funny but there were two others there that were getting quesadillas based on your recommendation! Thanks
@@elizabethhampton6898 so happy you loved it! And how funny! We have heard of a few folks running into others who have seen our videos in Utah lately. SO WILD!
Back in November I spent five nights at Dead Horse Point Wingate campground. Then dropped down off the plateau to the BLM campground on the Colorado River across the road from the Corona Arch trailhead for two nights. On a previous trip I took a full size Ram truck down off the rim on the Shafer Trail. Most terrifying experience of my life.
@@AdventuresofAplusK I've been to all 50 states and over 30 foreign countries. Driven the ALCAN Highway and skied the Swiss Alps and nothing has impressed me more than Southeastern Utah. The drive is almost 1900 miles out there but I have another trip planned to the Bears Ears area in the fall. Weather is a gamble but no crowds in November.
Never got the chance to do the whole Shafer trail. Went this past January, and the rental company only gave us a 2WD Denali instead of the 4WD we reserved. The trail was straight ice and didn’t trust that we’d make the climb back out. Corona Arch trailhead is very unassuming for what’s hidden at the end of it. Truly one of those hidden gems that gets overlooked for the national parks.
I recently found your channel and have been enjoying it, especially Utah around Moab. When we drive through, we usually stay there and visit a park. We can't do any hiking, though due to physical issues and age. One drive that I was going to suggest was Rt. 128. It's like an unadvertised hidden gem going through the canyon. It's like being at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. However, it looks like you took that route to go to the Fisher Towers. Love that part of the country! Thanks for showing it to us in depth and parts we can't get to!
Hello Adventurers😊😊, the Utah series was AWESOME!!! I'm so happy that you got to see Fishers Tower and Corona Arch, and those quesadillas...you 2 just keep me hungry😊😊! So much CHEESE. I have been to Colorado several times, always on my way to Utah. You are going to love Colorado! There are so many National Parks there but don't forget to go to Aspen and check out the Maroon Bells...OMG that place is AMAZING...you'll see! I can't wait to watch your Colorado series. Great video👍👍👍👍!
Hi Al! So glad you enjoyed the Utah series! And there’s no such thing as too much cheese right?! 😉 we are loving Colorado and can’t wait to share more soon! Hoping to see the Maroon Bells, but not sure if we will be able to swing it. Fingers crossed!
Really glad I found your channel! My wife and I are from Colorado but are taking a trip to Moab this year, we have added several hikes and food to our list because of these videos! Enjoy your time in Colorado! Cheers 🤙
The great time I enjoyed growing up there were. picnics in the Aspen forests, deer hunting on the LaSalle mountains, pheasant hunting with my lab in the corn fields. pushing rocks off Dead Horse Point. water skiing and floating in inner tubes on the Colorado River from George White ranch back to town. Diving off the river bridge or the cliffs at the power dam, bonfires on the river sand bars. Finding watermelons in the corn fields. Celebrating our winning at sports at the river spring, trapping coyote, fox and bobcat on the sand flats (lions back). Hikes to the Indian Fort and Endless Cave . Picking fruit for 50c an hour; peaches and apples or tomatoes for HB Evans (physics and Chem teacher) driving in our 46 jeep, up Courthouse Wash to the junction at 7 mile or all the way to Dalton Wells. Discovered a secluded pond in the cliffs and an old still at the 7 mile junction. Fights with blow pipes using willow bark tubes with cotton balls. The country was dry, dry, dry but, now it is green, with berds, squirrels because of Lake Powell. I worked in the movies, for Republic and Universal as a calvaryman and indian.also staked an sold uranium claims to pay for college at Utah State. The LaSalle Mountains would be a back packers paradise. Never saw rattlesnake, poison oak or ivy with plenty of springs, creeks and ponds with trout. The river would be great for inflatable kayaks. However I prefer the rivers in Western Montana with my flyrod, and friends on the Flathead, Blackfoot, Clark Fork, Swan and Clearwater as well as the Snoqualmie, Skokomish, Skagit and Coeur De Alene, Williamette, Columbia and MacKensie in the Pacific NW. Iguana
Love’d this series and your hikes are fantastic. Great to see you going off the beaten path and exploring some of the hidden gems. Can’t wait for Colorado!
Olympic National Park is amazing!!! But totally understand the long drives to get around haha, it can be pretty remote! Crater Lake sounds incredible as well. We went into that lodge I believe to check it out and it looked super nice!
First of all, thank you Adam for telling us about the blue pools, I was hoping I could remember to ask about them and you came to the rescue and told us about them. So interesting! So glad Kona was able to hike with you again. Beautiful hikes in the Utah area, but I'm so excited that you're going to Colorado. I'm a mountain girl myself. We just got home from our month of WA and the PCH. Such a great vaca!!
The blue pools are crazy! It was like something out of Glacier! Haha and we are very happy Kona could join us again! We feel ya on the mountains! We loved Utah and had a blast, but the mountains and green scenery has our heart and we have been freaking out the entire month we have been here so far about how dang gorgeous it is! 😍😍 Your trip sounds AMAZING! The ultimate US road trip in our opinion!
Mildly amusing coincidence. Left our home in Colorado over to Moab and then to head down to Arizona to see the In-Laws. Everything including Arches NP shut down the morning we left and we had no idea until we got to Moab that afternoon. Without being able to continue our journey we hiked Corona Arch first day of Corona Virus shutdown. Then headed back home.
Utah sure doesn’t disappoint! Those arches are amazing! I was so surprised that Kona didn’t seem phased by the big horn sheep…good girl Konie Bolognie Bear! 😘❤️🐶 The donuts and quesadillas looked soooo yummy…you two always pick such delicious looking food! Haha..Archtasitc Dead Point…it should be renamed!!!🤣
Thank you for sharing your adventures through Utah. My wife and I will have to plan a longer trip there so we can see all the things we miss out on the first we went.
Thank you and I am including you in my videos under credits as we just completed the National parks in Utah. Corona Arche was a blessing but could not get to it based on the pne climb I was not able to do. You helped the trip along
The first time I camped in Moab was in 1992, a lovely little quiet, Slickrock adventure town with a great atmosphere. Sadly no longer ! Oldtimer Englishman missing the good old days.
Thanks for the video. Wrapping up our Moab trip and found the video super helpful. Especially appreciate the food recommendations. Grabbed quesadillas twice; hitting doughbirds for the second time on our way out.
We've done a month in the southwest a couple of times without National Parks due to the NPS anti-doggism. You've hit the dog-friendly high-points in Moab, but there is a lot more. One thing is to take a 4WD capable vehicle to get out on some of the jeep trails (some of the easier ones can be done even with the more off-road capable variants of popular AWD crossovers). Besides that, add in some hikes across the slickrock in the Sand Flats recreation area. In the same direction, head up to the Porcupine Rim. And in the Fisher's Towers direction, you can hike Grandstaff and explore Castle Valley. Moab is amazing in having two National Parks and then so much more to do that you don't even really need them.
There is sooo much to do out there! And yeah we agree there is plenty to do without the NPs! We hope to do some Jeep adventures some time next year out west Thanks and thanks for watching
Love you two's videos! My wife and I just got back from our week from the Grand Canyon through Arches and we enjoyed seeing some of the less popular hikes and parks you visited. We will have to make it out there again
You are living the dream! Wow. I love Moab! We have been there 3 times and were just there in March. I ate at the Quesadilla Mobilla! I am excited to subscribe and see more videos.
The timing for this video couldn’t be better- I’ll be in Moab tomorrow night and can’t wait! Thanks for all the tips and recommendations! so excited for the CO series!
What a great series of videos! I added a bunch of trails to my list, if I ever get back there again. Looking forward to you Colorado adventures. OOOO and those donuts !!! :)
How cute is Kona!!!? Awesome! We were in Moab less than a month ago and did the same parks as you did. We drove all the way to the bottom of Dead horse and camped all the way at the bottom. No one but us so we could take a shower under the stars
I didn't realize that you guys spent as many weeks as you did in Utah. It sure looks like you had a lot of fun. That drive on Utah 128 from Moab up to the interstate going past the turn for Fisher Towers is a pretty drive, and a little bit of a shortcut as well. Hopefully you will include Colorado National Monument on one of your videos.
We actually were in the Grand Junction area off and on towards the end of our time in Utah, but with the heat and no dogs allowed, we weren't able to go to the Colorado National Monument. Trying to focus on cooler weather and Kona friendly while in CO! But we hope to make it there someday!
Glad you made it out to Fisher Towers and hope you read the history of Chevrolet shooting a commercial there in 1964. Hope to see you somewhere in Colorado. Travel safe.
@@AdventuresofAplusK also glad to see you enjoyed Dead Horse State Park. That whole area is fascinating to explore. We like the off-roading aspect, exploring all the trails via 4wd.
thank you both for the website with itineraries for mighty 5 and Corona and Pinto Arches definitely do that 3.5 hike 🚶♂️ 🚶♀️ with my granddaughter. Wife got me some awesome hiking shoes for Christmas, can't wait to use them.
It can be hard, especially if you want to visit national parks, but thankfully there are so many areas outside of national parks that are dog friendly!
Loved getting to see all the other cool things Moab has to offer!! I think I’ll have to pass on that chicken sandwich though!😳As always, thx for sharing and doing all the leg work!!!😊
Dead Horse Point seems SO awesome. A friend just made a video there and it truly does look like a baby Grand Canyon... only far less crowded. Also went to Corona Arch! The name being quite timely. 😅 After seeing this video too, it's on our list. After seeing those quesadillas I feel some strange pull to open my own quesadilla truck. LOL. Looks good!
Dead Horse Point was so awesome! Loved the lack of crowds 😍 The Corona Arch is definitely a timely and unfortunate name lol! 😅😅 Let’s all open quesadilla trucks 🤣
LOVE Moab! I am super jealous that you guys spent so much time there! I was there in 2018 for a week by myself with no adult supervision and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life!! I love your channel and love seeing your adventures!! Thanks so much for creating such great content!
@@AdventuresofAplusK In Moab, I loved the Moab Diner! Great food and wonderful Ice Cream. I also went to Dead Horse State Park! I arrived at 4 AM to be prepared for a sunrise shot and it was so peaceful - almost spiritual!

My wife and I are in our late 50s. You guys inspire us to keep getting out there on great hikes. Cheers!
Yay! We’re so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

Great Utah series! I think your on to something about staying several months and really doing it right. Looking forward to Colorado!

Thanks so much for sharing some dog friendly options! We’re heading to Utah this summer with our 2 pups in tow and truly appreciate suggestions for including them in our adventures!
Absolutely! Utah can be hard with a dog because of the national parks, but there are so many areas outside of the national parks that are amazing!
We enjoyed Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah and thought it more beautiful than the Grand Canyon. Thank you for sharing so hiking trails...awesome!
We loved it so much! Especially close to sunset. Truly a magical spot 😍😍
So did i!! I was underwhelmed with the Grand Canyon after going to Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands NP
I like the more in-depth approach. Nice job.
We're so glad! We did too!
Dang it… this might be our favorite Utah vlog. Everything. Donuts. Goodness we want donuts. And those views! Love you guys.
Had to go out with a bang! 🙌🏼😜
I JUST got back from Moab, those doughnuts were spectacular!!! I wanted to go back every morning haha
We mayyyy or may not have gotten another cronut so we could get the thumbnail photo. It was strictly for business purposes, so that makes it okay, right? 😜😜
Oh of course! It’s for the the business haha
We didn’t make it to the doughnuts but we did eat at Quesadilla Mobilla!
Kids spring break this year we did a similar trip but in the opposite order. The chosen locations and how you approach the trails, video journaling, B- roll footage and editing are fantastic. Thanks for allow us to join your adventure.

Following in some of your footsteps now. Thanks for the great dog-friendly ideas!
AWESOME!
Your videography, photography, editing, and on-screen charisma are OUTSTANDING! I love your videos!
Thank you and thanks for watching, Jerry!
I loved Dead Horse Point State Park and its views, and Quesadilla Mobilla was worth the drive from San Diego! Yum!
They know how to do quesadillas RIGHT! SO good!
Loved the Utah series!! Can’t wait for the Colorado series! Never been to CO so will be looking for things to do and places to see!!
Yay! So excited to share some spots around the state with you!
Thank you for making Southeast Utah look and feel as fantastic as it is. Your photography is amazing and really brought out the many varied colors of the area.
Thank you so much Don!
An apple pie and a doughnut had a baby 👶😋 and it was so pillowy soft 😂🥰
Thanks for all your Utah videos, well done ✔👍🙂
Thank you Cathy, we're glad you enjoyed them!!
About rolled on the floor when Kathryn said “my competitor”… I bet your Quesadilla truck would be amazing 😁
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂 Quesadilla Mobilla will be a tough competitor for my food truck called Quesadillos (armadillo themed because Texas), but we may be able to take 'em!
Wow, your southern Utah videos were so much fun! They made us smile. Alex, Kathryn & Kona, may you continue your wonderful adventures in Colorado! Keep exploring! Thanks again!

Yes.. That's true.. State parks are also very beautiful.. Now we have started exploring state parks
After seeing and hearing how crazy the national parks are right now, it's making us want to visit the state parks even more!
I can't get over how beautiful Utah is. I'm glad you guys got to spend some quality time there!!! Super excited to see what y'all do in Colorado!
It is a very gorgeous state! But SO pumped to share lots of green and mountains soon!
@@AdventuresofAplusK oh I bet!!
Another terrific video showcasing the Moab area. So much to see and do, and many reasons to return. I'm looking forward to your Colorado adventures. When I drove out there, I stopped several times along the way just to take in the scenic mountain views. Take care you two, and Kona too.
Thanks Eric! And we agree, Colorado is STUNNING! We are pretty obsessed with it here 😍
Corona Arch looks like an elephant trunk! So glad to see Kona back on the trail with you guys.
Us too! Utah was a bit tricky with lots of non-dog friendly trails. 😭
Fantastic closing video to a fantastic series of Utah. Incredible adventures you two had here. I normally usually only comment on the hikes and scenery but the food in this video looked amazing.

That's awesome to hear!
Moab=Broab in today's world!! What a neat place surrounded by total beauty!
It’s a gorgeous area!
My wife and I are planning a trip to Moab in October your video has inspired me to take that loop trail and see all the views that you videoed what an awesome view it was thank you.
Yay! Happy to hear that! Have a great time, October will be beautiful!
All the hikes, arches, views and food looked amazing! Love getting looks at some of the lesser visited areas. Nice job navigating the climbs, ladders and ropes!
Thanks Jamie! Such a fun hike and honestly rivaled the national parks!
Heading there for the first time this weekend for 4 days. Thank you for your vlogs - they have give us a lot to look forward to.
We hope you have the best time!
Nothing better than great food after a long hike…better no guilt 😎
Absolutely!!
Love the places that you picked to hike outside of the national parks. Great food choices too. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Thanks! We had a great time!
We are following your Moab hikes this weekend.. I was so excited to receive the last quesadilla of the 2021 season from Quesadilla Modilla for FREE. They closed their door until next March. I felt so lucky. Tomorrow we’re doing the Corona Arch and Dead Horse Point.. so excited. Thanks for the information ❤️ Doughbird for breakfast to start us off strong 💪🏼
Wow!!! That is AWESOME luck! Have a blast tomorrow, we loved both of those spots!
The landscapes in this video are some of the most stunning I’ve seen. Dead horse point has been on my bucket list for quite some time now and seeing your footage sealed the deal. Can’t wait to explore Moab as well. Really well done piece.
Dead Horse is AMAZING at sunset! Highly recommend it!
My mouth was watering when you got those donuts! And then you got that sandwich! I’m starving now!
Doughbird was the BEST! So unhealthy, but so dang good!
Thank you for the awesome videos and food suggestion.....
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Your video is a big help. We are planning on being out that way this summer.
Awesome! Be sure to check out our website as well. We can be a lot more detailed and informative through our travel guides and itineraries
I love your outtakes at the end of your videos and the tidbits you drop throughout. You've helped me so much plan for our Spring Break Utah trip!
We are so glad! Have a blast!!
Your videos on Arches, Canyonlands, and food suggestions for Moab have really enriched our vacation in Moab. We’re here now and looking forward to eating at Quesadilla Mobilla tomorrow … love some authentic food.
We are so happy to hear this! Enjoy the rest of your trip! ❤️
@@AdventuresofAplusK - Ate tonight at Quesadilla Mobilla and loved it. Funny but there were two others there that were getting quesadillas based on your recommendation! Thanks
@@elizabethhampton6898 so happy you loved it! And how funny! We have heard of a few folks running into others who have seen our videos in Utah lately. SO WILD!
Got some great views at dead horse at sunrise last summer! Glad your enjoying Utah and getting some good eats 😋
I bet sunrise is amazing! And less busy too!
Your videos are just soooooooo good. I love watching. Also here for Kathryn's puns, obviously.
Hahaha thank you so much! 😂❤️
Back in November I spent five nights at Dead Horse Point Wingate campground. Then dropped down off the plateau to the BLM campground on the Colorado River across the road from the Corona Arch trailhead for two nights. On a previous trip I took a full size Ram truck down off the rim on the Shafer Trail. Most terrifying experience of my life.
That campground across from the corona arch looked very nice! We saw so many awesome river campgrounds in Moab! The Shafer Trail looks INTENSE!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I've been to all 50 states and over 30 foreign countries. Driven the ALCAN Highway and skied the Swiss Alps and nothing has impressed me more than Southeastern Utah. The drive is almost 1900 miles out there but I have another trip planned to the Bears Ears area in the fall. Weather is a gamble but no crowds in November.
Never got the chance to do the whole Shafer trail. Went this past January, and the rental company only gave us a 2WD Denali instead of the 4WD we reserved. The trail was straight ice and didn’t trust that we’d make the climb back out.
Corona Arch trailhead is very unassuming for what’s hidden at the end of it. Truly one of those hidden gems that gets overlooked for the national parks.
Great video guys! I love your work. My favorite travel RUclips channel!
Thank you so much for watching Rachael!
Awesome, another video... can't wait to watch it tomorrow!!!🙂
We hope you enjoy it!
Just finished at Moab, thanks for the video - you were spot on with everything!!
I recently found your channel and have been enjoying it, especially Utah around Moab. When we drive through, we usually stay there and visit a park. We can't do any hiking, though due to physical issues and age. One drive that I was going to suggest was Rt. 128. It's like an unadvertised hidden gem going through the canyon. It's like being at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. However, it looks like you took that route to go to the Fisher Towers. Love that part of the country! Thanks for showing it to us in depth and parts we can't get to!
We did drive that going to fisher towers and it was so beautiful! Thank you for watching!
Hello Adventurers😊😊, the Utah series was AWESOME!!! I'm so happy that you got to see Fishers Tower and Corona Arch, and those quesadillas...you 2 just keep me hungry😊😊! So much CHEESE. I have been to Colorado several times, always on my way to Utah. You are going to love Colorado! There are so many National Parks there but don't forget to go to Aspen and check out the Maroon Bells...OMG that place is AMAZING...you'll see! I can't wait to watch your Colorado series. Great video👍👍👍👍!
Hi Al! So glad you enjoyed the Utah series! And there’s no such thing as too much cheese right?! 😉 we are loving Colorado and can’t wait to share more soon! Hoping to see the Maroon Bells, but not sure if we will be able to swing it. Fingers crossed!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Hey, cheese makes everything taste so good! You have so many choices to pick in Colorado! I can't wait see what's next.
Colorado has proven to be harder to figure out what to do than Utah! Soooo many things to see!
Really glad I found your channel! My wife and I are from Colorado but are taking a trip to Moab this year, we have added several hikes and food to our list because of these videos! Enjoy your time in Colorado!
Cheers 🤙
Yay! We're so glad to give you some ideas. Have an awesome trip! And we're LOVING Colorado!
Very nice video, thank you. Both of you sure know how to eat. I just had breakfast and looking at all the food you ate makes me very hungry.
Hahaha we eat very healthy and boring during the week, so we go HARD when we get to have something fun and exciting lol!
Great trip through Utah. It's geology us so diverse and beautiful. Had to come back and watch, after seeing your end "best of" video.
It feels like another planet there! 😍
The great time I enjoyed growing up there were. picnics in the Aspen forests, deer hunting on the LaSalle mountains, pheasant hunting with my lab in the corn fields. pushing rocks off Dead Horse Point. water skiing and floating in inner tubes on the Colorado River from George White ranch back to town. Diving off the river bridge or the cliffs at the power dam, bonfires on the river sand bars. Finding watermelons in the corn fields. Celebrating our winning at sports at the river spring, trapping coyote, fox and bobcat on the sand flats (lions back). Hikes to the Indian Fort and Endless Cave . Picking fruit for 50c an hour; peaches and apples or tomatoes for HB Evans (physics and Chem teacher) driving in our 46 jeep, up Courthouse Wash to the junction at 7 mile or all the way to Dalton Wells. Discovered a secluded pond in the cliffs and an old still at the 7 mile junction. Fights with blow pipes using willow bark tubes with cotton balls. The country was dry, dry, dry but, now it is green, with berds, squirrels because of Lake Powell. I worked in the movies, for Republic and Universal as a calvaryman and indian.also staked an sold uranium claims to pay for college at Utah State. The LaSalle Mountains would be a back packers paradise. Never saw rattlesnake, poison oak or ivy with plenty of springs, creeks and ponds with trout. The river would be great for inflatable kayaks. However I prefer the rivers in Western Montana with my flyrod, and friends on the Flathead, Blackfoot, Clark Fork, Swan and Clearwater as well as the Snoqualmie, Skokomish, Skagit and Coeur De Alene, Williamette, Columbia and MacKensie in the Pacific NW.
Iguana
Such helpful videos, thank you 😊
Love’d this series and your hikes are fantastic. Great to see you going off the beaten path and exploring some of the hidden gems. Can’t wait for Colorado!
We are so glad you enjoyed it! Very excited to share Colorado!
You both always put a smile on my face
Olympic National Park is amazing!!! But totally understand the long drives to get around haha, it can be pretty remote! Crater Lake sounds incredible as well. We went into that lodge I believe to check it out and it looked super nice!
Thanks you guys so much. You are being a big help on our second trip to No National Parks Areas due to our Drone usage.
Awesome! Thanks and thanks for watching! Safe travels on your trip!
First of all, thank you Adam for telling us about the blue pools, I was hoping I could remember to ask about them and you came to the rescue and told us about them. So interesting! So glad Kona was able to hike with you again. Beautiful hikes in the Utah area, but I'm so excited that you're going to Colorado. I'm a mountain girl myself. We just got home from our month of WA and the PCH. Such a great vaca!!
The blue pools are crazy! It was like something out of Glacier! Haha and we are very happy Kona could join us again!
We feel ya on the mountains! We loved Utah and had a blast, but the mountains and green scenery has our heart and we have been freaking out the entire month we have been here so far about how dang gorgeous it is! 😍😍 Your trip sounds AMAZING! The ultimate US road trip in our opinion!
Mildly amusing coincidence. Left our home in Colorado over to Moab and then to head down to Arizona to see the In-Laws. Everything including Arches NP shut down the morning we left and we had no idea until we got to Moab that afternoon. Without being able to continue our journey we hiked Corona Arch first day of Corona Virus shutdown. Then headed back home.
Oh no! Glad you were at least able to do the Corona Arch! How fitting that you did it at the start of the Coronavirus shutdowns haha
Utah sure doesn’t disappoint! Those arches are amazing! I was so surprised that Kona didn’t seem phased by the big horn sheep…good girl Konie Bolognie Bear! 😘❤️🐶 The donuts and quesadillas looked soooo yummy…you two always pick such delicious looking food! Haha..Archtasitc Dead Point…it should be renamed!!!🤣
You know better than anyone how shocking that is! Hahaha 😂😂 And you would’ve loved the food! ❤️
Oh my goodness another beautiful video! Sunrise and alone at the arch was breathtaking! Food looked amazing too!!! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
We were so shocked to have that spot alone! It was amazing!
Never apologize for sharing history! Love the views and your shots
Thanks so much!
Can't wait to see the Colorado VLOGs.....have you considered traveling to Alaska in the Van.....that would be SO epic!! Next year??
That may or may not be the plan for next year 😉
Thank you for sharing your adventures through Utah. My wife and I will have to plan a longer trip there so we can see all the things we miss out on the first we went.
There is so much to explore, you could be there forever and not see it all!
Wow, Utah is amazing. I have to add it to my bucket list. The chicken sandwich looks mouthwatering. Great video as always!
The chicken sandwich was SO good, minus the heartburn for Adam! lol!
Thumbs up guys…it was awesome UT adventures and I can’t believe now you are in my state.
Thank you! Loving your state!
Thank you and I am including you in my videos under credits as we just completed the National parks in Utah. Corona Arche was a blessing but could not get to it based on the pne climb I was not able to do. You helped the trip along
We are glad that you had a great trip!
@@AdventuresofAplusK It is so far we did cover 11National Parks in all
You guys are living the dream. Thanks for sharing it with us
Thank you so much for following along!
The first time I camped in Moab was in 1992, a lovely little quiet, Slickrock adventure town with a great atmosphere. Sadly no longer ! Oldtimer Englishman missing the good old days.
I bet that was a sight to see! It would be fun to go back in time to see that
Thanks for the video. Wrapping up our Moab trip and found the video super helpful. Especially appreciate the food recommendations. Grabbed quesadillas twice; hitting doughbirds for the second time on our way out.
So happy to hear you got some quesadillas and donuts! 🙌🏼
We loved your recommendations so much! Thanks!
So glad to hear that!
Sand sledding looks super cool!!💜 looks like you’re two are learning Utah💜that chicken looked so good, enjoy your time y’all
It was sooo fun! We really want to try it again!
Happily catching up with you last few videos!
Utah' is beautiful!!😊🍁
Woo! It is a gorgeous state!
We've done a month in the southwest a couple of times without National Parks due to the NPS anti-doggism. You've hit the dog-friendly high-points in Moab, but there is a lot more. One thing is to take a 4WD capable vehicle to get out on some of the jeep trails (some of the easier ones can be done even with the more off-road capable variants of popular AWD crossovers). Besides that, add in some hikes across the slickrock in the Sand Flats recreation area. In the same direction, head up to the Porcupine Rim. And in the Fisher's Towers direction, you can hike Grandstaff and explore Castle Valley. Moab is amazing in having two National Parks and then so much more to do that you don't even really need them.
There is sooo much to do out there! And yeah we agree there is plenty to do without the NPs! We hope to do some Jeep adventures some time next year out west
Thanks and thanks for watching
Love you two's videos! My wife and I just got back from our week from the Grand Canyon through Arches and we enjoyed seeing some of the less popular hikes and parks you visited. We will have to make it out there again
Glad y’all had a great trip! Thank you so much for watching!
You are living the dream! Wow. I love Moab! We have been there 3 times and were just there in March. I ate at the Quesadilla Mobilla! I am excited to subscribe and see more videos.
We really are and are so thankful! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
I missed you guys ! I was binge watching in january. I love watching you guys eat!
Hahaha thank you! We love to share food, it’s a huge part of travel! 🙌🏼
We had the last Enchanted Chicken quesadillas they had for the day, as they ran out. Best we've ever had!!
Ahhh heck yes! Good timing to snag the last one!
Great video of a spectacular area. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching Henry!
Great Utah videos. Can’t wait to see what’s in store in Colorado
Thanks Tim! Excited to share our Colorado adventures!
The timing for this video couldn’t be better- I’ll be in Moab tomorrow night and can’t wait! Thanks for all the tips and recommendations! so excited for the CO series!
Yay! We love when we have good timing! And SO pumped to share Colorado. We have been loving it here!
Oh, and we tried Oscar’s and BirdHouse earlier on our trip while in those areas- they were both SO good!
ahhh yes!!!
What a great series of videos! I added a bunch of trails to my list, if I ever get back there again. Looking forward to you Colorado adventures. OOOO and those donuts !!! :)
We are so glad you enjoyed the Utah series! It was a bit different for us to share so much about one place, but Utah is FULL of things to do!
How cute is Kona!!!? Awesome! We were in Moab less than a month ago and did the same parks as you did. We drove all the way to the bottom of Dead horse and camped all the way at the bottom. No one but us so we could take a shower under the stars
Oh that sounds epic! We’re glad you had a good time! Kona says, “woof!” 🐶
I didn't realize that you guys spent as many weeks as you did in Utah. It sure looks like you had a lot of fun. That drive on Utah 128 from Moab up to the interstate going past the turn for Fisher Towers is a pretty drive, and a little bit of a shortcut as well. Hopefully you will include Colorado National Monument on one of your videos.
We actually were in the Grand Junction area off and on towards the end of our time in Utah, but with the heat and no dogs allowed, we weren't able to go to the Colorado National Monument. Trying to focus on cooler weather and Kona friendly while in CO! But we hope to make it there someday!
Enjoyed your videos from Utah. I’m following in your footsteps in September. Definitely will try Doughbird. The hikes look awesome. Thanks guys.
We are so glad David! And definitely go to doughbird!
Glad you made it out to Fisher Towers and hope you read the history of Chevrolet shooting a commercial there in 1964. Hope to see you somewhere in Colorado. Travel safe.
Ooo we hadn't, but will now!
@@AdventuresofAplusK also glad to see you enjoyed Dead Horse State Park. That whole area is fascinating to explore. We like the off-roading aspect, exploring all the trails via 4wd.
thank you both for the website with itineraries for mighty 5 and Corona and Pinto Arches definitely do that 3.5 hike 🚶♂️ 🚶♀️ with my granddaughter. Wife got me some awesome hiking shoes for Christmas, can't wait to use them.
Woo! Excited that you’ll do that hike, we loved it!
So great learning about dog friendly places, really want to travel with my dog more
It can be hard, especially if you want to visit national parks, but thankfully there are so many areas outside of national parks that are dog friendly!
@@AdventuresofAplusK or if your traveling alone and have to pee!! Hahahaha
Waffle fries... HELL YEAH!!! Totally agree. Moab did not have the food truck lot when I visited. Thank you for giving us a reason to go back!!!
The best cut of fries! 🙌🏼
So happy I found your channel! I leave for Utah on Monday and I can’t even tell you how much your videos have helped me out planning for everything!
Yay! Nothing makes us happier than hearing that!
Woo! We LOVE Idaho!
Loved getting to see all the other cool things Moab has to offer!! I think I’ll have to pass on that chicken sandwich though!😳As always, thx for sharing and doing all the leg work!!!😊
Hahaha it was delicious, but maybe stick to medium or mild! Lol!
Just love the name Moab! And as always an amazing video!
Thank you so much!!
Dead Horse Point seems SO awesome. A friend just made a video there and it truly does look like a baby Grand Canyon... only far less crowded. Also went to Corona Arch! The name being quite timely. 😅 After seeing this video too, it's on our list. After seeing those quesadillas I feel some strange pull to open my own quesadilla truck. LOL. Looks good!
Dead Horse Point was so awesome! Loved the lack of crowds 😍 The Corona Arch is definitely a timely and unfortunate name lol! 😅😅 Let’s all open quesadilla trucks 🤣
LOVE Moab! I am super jealous that you guys spent so much time there! I was there in 2018 for a week by myself with no adult supervision and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life!! I love your channel and love seeing your adventures!! Thanks so much for creating such great content!
What is your favorite spot(s) in Moab? There is so much to there! And thanks a bunch for watching! 🙌🏼
@@AdventuresofAplusK In Moab, I loved the Moab Diner! Great food and wonderful Ice Cream. I also went to Dead Horse State Park! I arrived at 4 AM to be prepared for a sunrise shot and it was so peaceful - almost spiritual!
That sounds magical!!!
