❤ Thank you for all the film and drone footage. We know you put a great deal of time into creating this content. We really appreciate it! Now we can say we got to see another amazing part of the US. Mark (& Teresa)
I drove the loop 3 times Memorial weekend 2023. Place was nearly empty. Beautiful!! Camped alone in my tent on Muley Point above VOG for 4 days. Just as nice as Monument Valley. No crowds, buses, gift shops. Just natural beauty, up close and personal.
OUTSTANDING! Just incredible! I am running out of words to express how much I enjoy the professionalism of your incredible videos. Another great one! 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Utah has been amazing. We want to explore more of this state! Thank you for your k8nd words, Carrie works hard to match the music with how the area makes of feel. 😀
Fantastic views dear Dave and Carrie. The drone footage showed off the real beauty of the area. Nice to see you drive Carrie. When the drone footage started I said to myself Carrie must be driving and the very next minute Dave mentioned it. Love you both and of course Roodle. Take care and have fun🤣😝😜
Yep, you called it 😂. Carrie is a great driver and knows her business off-road! 😀 We need to film the driving while flying the drone to show the process. 😀
FYI- we stay at the Valley of the Gods every year. We have taken out Class A 37.6 foot RV all the way around the 17 mile loop. We rubbed the trailer hitch at one spot. We normally un hook the jeep to drive in behind the RV. We did pull a 18 foot enclosed trailer of toys behind the 37.6 foot RV once into Valley of the Gods, but came in from the east and got a spot in the first 3.5 miles. Awesome place that we always have to stay at on the way to Moab. Thanks for the well done video. I have drone footage from VOF as well--good times. Boondocking for free always!!!
Right on! That's impressive you making the entire loop in a rig that size! I would love to see your drone footage! I wish we were there right now! Take good care.
Thank you, Cheri! Carrie just needs one more camera lens and I think we can up our game a bit. With a little experience and inspiration, we are sure you will be amazing! 😎
Rig size; No large rigs seen? Dude, a large class B with trailer drove by while you spoke to the camera and at 11:59 mark there is a 40ft or larger class A! Nice drone footage, love the views. I got to get out there!
+Sparky I saw that and laughed too!!!…..but you can only go a short distance from either entrance. The west entrance has way fewer campsites and is not as pretty. The east entrance…. large rigs will only have about 3 or 4 miles to choose from. Hey…. Thanks for watching all the way to the end!!!?
I recently explored Utah. No kidding, one jaw dropping view after the other. Your drone footage is nothing less than fabulous . I am awestruck! Thank you so much for sharing! No doubt I will come back to this video for review and take notes, then again to plan and again to take more notes. Our paths may have come very close to crossing. I visited a few of Utah’s Monuments recently. Oh how I wished I could soar like a bird. It was absolutely magnificent, could only be better to be the bird or the drone 👁
Utah is incredible! I am not sure how long it takes to explore the entire state but I want to find out😂 We hope to cross paths with you in the future! 😎
Oh gosh! Looks like another area of Utah that makes my jaw drop. Definitely putting this on my list. Thank you so much for another incredibly beautiful video!
I camped out of my converted RAV4 Hybrid in the Valley this past August. This entire area of Utah is special, what with Monument Valley close by and Arches a drive north. I also highly recommend checking the weather for any rain events before entering VOG or you might find yourself cut off from leaving. Thanks for covering this beautiful place!
Yay, Valley of the Gods, I can't remember how many times I've camped there. One year my sister and I were there and we had gotten up really early to watch the sunrise with our coffee and much to our surprise there were hot air balloons rising from some location within the area, spectacular. I love the little town of Bluff.
That must have been amazing watching the hot air balloon there! We would have not expected that either. Today we are in Sedona and Carrie got up early and seen a few! She had a great time and will be up early every day now. 😀
Aloha guys, I went here directly after I left gutted event. I had the same issue with time constraints. I stayed in the valley as long as I could and drove directly to Northern Washington afterwords. It was an amazing place. I can’t wait to go back. Keep up the good work. Hopefully see you next year
Right on Jeff! You picked an amazing location to stay on your way west! Was there many people when you stayed? It was pretty much deserted. I would think it would be packed with people. We also hope to see you again on the road! 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime Yeah when I went, I just had the morning I got there before sunrise and stopped right after I pulled onto the dirt road. Right at that first wash. And then I waited for the sun to start coming up and drove it and explored for a couple hours. Maybe two other campers on the whole loop. And then I went up the Dougie on my way out to head back north. I took in natural Bridges on the way through it also.
Our pleasure! You know…. You have a direct line when you need some research. We absolutely love this area! We need to go back! We haven’t been to goblin valley state park…. It’s on my list.
Thank you, Jay! That was a perfect mix of sunlight and shadows in the background from a partial cloudy day. The GoPro 10 is doing a great job as well. 😎
In 2017, my wife and I drove right past this loop on Hwy 163 on our way home to Indiana from Phoenix. Currently planning on driving the loop in March or April of 2022. Great video!
I think March and April will be good timing for this area! We hope you will enjoy it as much as we did. I can't wait to go back when we have more time. 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime , It was in the mid 90's but not so bad after the sun went down. As for snakes , didn't come across any.There is a nice flat area right up at the base of the butte for camping with amazing views. Good luck and safe travels!!
I drove by Valley of the Gods in November, but was on my way home and couldn’t explore it this trip. I plan to go there next trip to Utah. Looking forward to watching your next drive as I wondered if my van can do the Moki Dugway. If yours makes it, mine will! Dave, you are making some excellent drone videos! I enjoyed the music on this one also.
Our van made the Moki Dugway with no problem! You get rewarded at the top with some amazing free camping! Thank you for the compliment on the drone footage and music choices! I love getting the drone in the air every chance I get. 😎
Amazing drone footage, you are forcing me to buy a drone. When I was a kid I would wonder what was on the top of the buettes. I rushed through that area to my regret. Great editing, really top notch. 👍👍👍👍
Wow! First of your posts I've seen. I'm not familiar with the Valley of the Gods at all even with living in Provo for a few and being from CO! Love the drone footage and the promo for next week! Thank you for taking all of us, that don't have a van or significant other, to travel with! Best, from Colorado!
OMG how beautiful and your drone shots were phenomenal ❣️ Yes-check the weather-may God keep you safe & healthy! Sending you love as we celebrate Jesus birthday 💞💖 And may God bless us all this new year 🙏🙏🙏✌️
One of my favorite things about your channel has been the places that you highlight which I either didn't know about or want to go to. I do love Utah and hope to take a multi-month trip without any work someday. Have you ever thought about making travel guides on the side? I have always thought someone should follow the incredible style of John Fielder's Best of Colorado book for other places. Anyway, thanks for sharing a bit of your life. I hope you have a great winter!
Thank you, Greg! We also enjoy the off-the-beaten-path locations. We have talked about doing a travel guild but will need some better time management to get it done😂 We love Utah, I think your multi-month trip idea is a good plan. We always wish we had more time...each time we pass through this state. See you on the road. 😀
I was going to tell you that there’s a lot more to see in that area until I saw the view in your upcoming video. That place is amazing! ;) Also, great footage and video!
I''ve already seen this video 3 times. It's amazing and I'm so thankful that you two are going through a lot. Stay healthy and Happy Christmas n New Year. It's a great video
Nice drone footage! I love the shot early in the show where it’s golden hour and your van is on the road with the tower is in the background. Are you panning the camera there? That’s not an easy move!
What a great video. If you're in the Moab area I recommend Corona Arch. I did a video on the hike. It's much less traveled than Arches NP and free entrance. OMG Dave that drone footage coming up on the van was so epic. Carrie you rock behind the wheel. Actually at m12:05 in your drone footage it looks like a Class A or bus boondocking- but you probably didn't see them driving by; they may have come in the eastern entrance.
I watched that video on Corona Arch! That looks like an area we would love also. I feel like we need to spend 6 straight months in this state! Thank you for your kind comment on the drone flight. This is so much fun, it feels like we are in a movie sometimes. 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime If you are going to be in the Moab area sometime I could suggest a few more places I know you'd love. I'd like to say I think Roodle is such a great dog. He seems to be settling down a bit more- they do that when they reach 3-5 yo. He still has plenty of spunk left in him but he's not so high energy anymore. Kinda nice. My dog is too and she is so much more enjoyable to travel with.
Yes! Roodle is settling down quite nicely! We are currently in Reno, Nv. with Carries' mom. She is going through cancer treatments and we are here for support. It may be some time before we make it back to Utah. I love suggestions on where to go..especially if it's off the beaten path 😎 Merry Christmas
@@oneadVANtureatatime God Bless to Carrie's mom, I'll be adding her to my. prayer list. My daughter had Leukemia (but she is cured now and a teacher) and it was difficult for the whole family for the 2 1/2 years of treatment. Having your tiny home on wheels makes temporarily relocating so much less stressful and costly. Take care and have a wonderful day.
Hey Dave are you taking any still images w/ the drone? Some of those compositions would be great in a still. Something you couldn't get w/ a dslr. Nice work!!
Hello from Ouray!! Wow...this is a spectacular area!! Thank you very much for sharing your experience there with us! Our Outdoors RV 22FQS travel trailer FINALLY arrived!! We will head down to South Padre Island in early January to install a solar setup on it. Our favorite close area, Silver Jack Reservoir, is closed for the winter now :-( So, we will head towards Valley Of the Gods for our break in trip!! Well, we have land in Paradox CO (just east of the LA Sal Mountains by Moab); so, we probably should go there first and stay quasi close. QUESTION: On your drive of the 17 mile loop, were you going counter clockwise (i.e started by the Comb Ridge/Bluff UT side and finished by the Mexican Hat access)? Safe travels and thank you for another homer of a video!!
Hi guys, congratulations on finally getting your trailer! Yes, we entered the loop from the east side and went counterclockwise. This seems to be the better choice as it has a better road with more camping locations. South Padre Island has some nice places to camp if you have the time while in Texas. We hope you have a great time and see you on the road! 😀😀😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime Hi there!! Thank you very much!! It was about 11 months from order to pick up. My parents have had a Leisure Travel Van on order since Sept 2020. I think LTV is like 2 yrs out currently:-( Thank you very much for the info! I will plan to come in that way too then. That slightly elevated spot that you had first stopped at was awesome!! Can't wait to see you Moki Dugway continuance next week!! I have heard of people bringing their trailers in from the north by Bears Ears to the Muley Point works. That upper cliff area up there is insanely awesome!! Our trailer is lifted 24 inches, so I will definitely recon that possibility. Do you have a channel email address? I can send you some aerial views of Muley Point. I fly over it frequently when we go between Telluride and LA/Orange County. Safe travels!!
Hello Carrie and Dave! I just thought of something and I wanted to ask you guys about it... Since you have started your fourth year, I was wondering if you plan to do your top boondocking spots for last year? I have always loved those videos that you do. Thanking you in advance, Jodi 😊👍👋
Great drone footage. Amazing area for sure. Is that a Stormtrooper on the rear view mirror? For good luck because a stormtrooper never hits anything 😂😂
Yes! You won't have any trouble as long as the road is not wet. Enter from the east side if you can, there are more places to camp and the road is better. 😎
+ironhatt hey thanks for asking! I usually put this I. The video description but looks like I forgot on this video! Valley Of The Gods Turn-off (37.2349871, -109.8145067). There are about two dozen places to stay along this route! This is the exact spot we stayed at (37.2840468, -109.8114295)
Hi! Isn’t this place amazing! We are one of the few channels who include coordinates in our video descriptions. I copied this from the video description Valley Of The Gods Turn-off (37.2349871, -109.8145067). There are about two dozen places to stay along this route! This is the exact spot we stayed at (37.2840468, -109.8114295) Definitely plenty of places to pitch a tent!
Your drone footage was especially awesome on this video!
Thank you! We appreciate your kindness! 😀😀
Remembering several western movies with this amazing backdrop.
Thanks for sharing your unique view!
We didn't think about researching movies from this area! We love to do that as well. 😀😀😀
Like another planet.
I know right! Already I can't wait to explore and show-off more of Utah. 😀
Great video, guys You give an old retired guy a reason to look forward to Saturday morning.
Thank you, Dennis! I know you guys are still getting out and exploring 😀😀😀
❤ Thank you for all the film and drone footage. We know you put a great deal of time into creating this content. We really appreciate it! Now we can say we got to see another amazing part of the US.

So pretty…thanks for showing me…can’t wait to see it for myself. You two are the best at showing how to find camp spots…so enjoy your videos.
Thank you, Susan!
I’m so amazed by the beauty! Can’t wait to go with my trailer in January 2024 when I’ll be retired! 🙏❤️
Right on! We are excited for you. We already can't wait to go back. 😀
OUTSTANDING! Just incredible! I am running out of words to express how much I enjoy the professionalism of your incredible videos. Another great one! 👍👍👍👍👍😁

Excellent videoing.
Thank you, Vince! We appreciate your kindness. 😀
Valley of the God's is definitely on our bucket list.
Right on! You guys will love it. There is so much to do on this area without the crowds. Just watch out for muddy roads. 😀
Hi thanks amazing scenery 😊
Guys - the drone work and editing... absolutely amazing! Thank you for that great vid!
Thank you so much for your kindness! 😀
Thank you so MUCH! Your videos let me see the earth with such awe in my heart! Must get off the beaten path so much more!
We are honored to share with you! Thank you for your kindness! 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Absolutely breathtaking! I love your fabulous drone footage!
Thank you! 😀
Thanks for showing us this amazing scenery.
Thank you for your kindness, Beverly. 😀😀😀
Vantastic!!!
Thank you! 😀
You'll be back to Utah for sure. It's a beautiful state.
Yes we will! I feel we never spend enough time in Utah. 😀
Shots are beautiful. Your content and the continuity of your visual stories are just so gooood! ~ Kir (and Ron)
Thank you for your kindness, Ron! 😀
The acoustics are awesome!
Superb footage, and love that landscape! Those clouds are fantastic also, wish I could be there!
I love when the clouds add to the magic of the scenery! What an amazing location without the crowds. Thank you for your kind words! 😀
Thx for info, about pull toy hauler/ trailer on East side
You bet! We hope you go and have a great time. 😀😀😀
Just gorgeous!!!! Thanks for the awesome video guys, hope all is well.
Thank you! 😀😀😀
Freaking awesome!
Cool
Thank you! 😎
I'd be too nervous to do this without cell service alone but it looks lovely.
Thanks for sharing the breath-taking views of Valley of the Gods in Utah. Definitely will go there.
Right on Smiley! We hope you will love this area as much as we do. Already I can't wait to return. 😎
Big quandary, stay in one spot for sunset or 17 miles more to see? Good problem to have
Another great vid, and awesome info
I know right!😂 Life is pretty awesome when that's the hardest decision of the day. 😀😀😀
Fantastic views dear Dave and Carrie. The drone footage showed off the real beauty of the area. Nice to see you drive Carrie. When the drone footage started I said to myself Carrie must be driving and the very next minute Dave mentioned it. Love you both and of course Roodle. Take care and have fun🤣😝😜

Love the drone footage. Great area.
Thank you, Maggie! There are so many places to explore in Utah. 😀

I recently explored Utah. No kidding, one jaw dropping view after the other.

Great drone shots Dave. We think your content is 10 out of 10. Travel safe. In our hearts and our prayers. HAPPY TRAILS.
Thank you, guys! Big hugs from us to you. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your awesome drone footage. It WAS incredible!
Thank you, Velda! We are honored to share with you! 😀

Thank you, Joyce! 😀
Cool amazing country remnants of the past
Such a great video. Please please have Dave do a video on how to get the drone shots while driving in the van!
That's a great Idea! We can turn the dash GoPro around and do a demonstration. Thank you for the idea. 😀😀😀
What a marvelous creator!
Thank you for your kindness, Thelma! 😀😀😀

Great video. I’m hoping to get there in the next couple of months.
Right on! We hope you get more time to stay and explore than we did. What a wonderful location. 😀

@@oneadVANtureatatime If you are going to be in the Moab area sometime I could suggest a few more places I know you'd love. I'd like to say I think Roodle is such a great dog. He seems to be settling down a bit more- they do that when they reach 3-5 yo. He still has plenty of spunk left in him but he's not so high energy anymore. Kinda nice. My dog is too and she is so much more enjoyable to travel with.
Yes! Roodle is settling down quite nicely! We are currently in Reno, Nv. with Carries' mom. She is going through cancer treatments and we are here for support. It may be some time before we make it back to Utah. I love suggestions on where to go..especially if it's off the beaten path 😎 Merry Christmas
@@oneadVANtureatatime God Bless to Carrie's mom, I'll be adding her to my. prayer list. My daughter had Leukemia (but she is cured now and a teacher) and it was difficult for the whole family for the 2 1/2 years of treatment. Having your tiny home on wheels makes temporarily relocating so much less stressful and costly. Take care and have a wonderful day.
Hey Dave are you taking any still images w/ the drone? Some of those compositions would be great in a still. Something you couldn't get w/ a dslr. Nice work!!
I don't take a lot of stills with the drone but Carrie’s editing program can take stills from any of the drone videos. 😎
Awesome...u think a 2WD Sprinter van w/ all terrain BFG KO2 tired can do the trail (As long as as its dry)? Thanks
Hello from Ouray!! Wow...this is a spectacular area!! Thank you very much for sharing your experience there with us!
Our Outdoors RV 22FQS travel trailer FINALLY arrived!! We will head down to South Padre Island in early January to install a solar setup on it. Our favorite close area, Silver Jack Reservoir, is closed for the winter now :-( So, we will head towards Valley Of the Gods for our break in trip!! Well, we have land in Paradox CO (just east of the LA Sal Mountains by Moab); so, we probably should go there first and stay quasi close.
QUESTION: On your drive of the 17 mile loop, were you going counter clockwise (i.e started by the Comb Ridge/Bluff UT side and finished by the Mexican Hat access)?
Safe travels and thank you for another homer of a video!!
Hi guys, congratulations on finally getting your trailer! Yes, we entered the loop from the east side and went counterclockwise. This seems to be the better choice as it has a better road with more camping locations. South Padre Island has some nice places to camp if you have the time while in Texas. We hope you have a great time and see you on the road! 😀😀😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime Hi there!! Thank you very much!! It was about 11 months from order to pick up. My parents have had a Leisure Travel Van on order since Sept 2020. I think LTV is like 2 yrs out currently:-(
Thank you very much for the info! I will plan to come in that way too then. That slightly elevated spot that you had first stopped at was awesome!! Can't wait to see you Moki Dugway continuance next week!! I have heard of people bringing their trailers in from the north by Bears Ears to the Muley Point works. That upper cliff area up there is insanely awesome!! Our trailer is lifted 24 inches, so I will definitely recon that possibility.
Do you have a channel email address? I can send you some aerial views of Muley Point. I fly over it frequently when we go between Telluride and LA/Orange County.
Safe travels!!
Hello Carrie and Dave! I just thought of something and I wanted to ask you guys about it... Since you have started your fourth year, I was wondering if you plan to do your top boondocking spots for last year? I have always loved those videos that you do. Thanking you in advance, Jodi 😊👍👋
Hi Jodi! We will be doing our top boondocking locations. This is a fun video to make for us. I think it will be coming out in late January. 😀😀😀
Absolutely gorgeous, Do u think you would ever go in the winter?
I would definitely go back to this area in the winter! I would just keep an eye on the weather for a rare snow or rain event.😎
Nice video
Thank you! 😀
Great drone footage. Amazing area for sure. Is that a Stormtrooper on the rear view mirror? For good luck because a stormtrooper never hits anything 😂😂
That is a Stormtrooper! Good eyes, and we do manage to hit stuff 😂
@@oneadVANtureatatime 😂 this is not the van you’re looking for
Could a van with 6 inch clearance do it? We don't have lift.
Yes! You won't have any trouble as long as the road is not wet. Enter from the east side if you can, there are more places to camp and the road is better. 😎
That's a awesome place to stay - do you have the exact location for me? Your vids and adventures are awesome! Thx
+ironhatt hey thanks for asking! I usually put this I. The video description but looks like I forgot on this video!
Valley Of The Gods Turn-off
(37.2349871, -109.8145067). There are about two dozen places to stay along this route!
This is the exact spot we stayed at

@@oneadVANtureatatime thx - can't wait to go on my trip
do you think I could set up a tent at this locations
What kind of drone are you flying?
GPS coordinates for that exact spot at 4:39 ?
where in the video do you show the site that you stayed at?
where is the location in the video that you said this is where we would stay. I believe its 9:45 mark on the video
Hi! Isn’t this place amazing! We are one of the few channels who include coordinates in our video descriptions. I copied this from the video description

Definitely plenty of places to pitch a tent!
You half expect Airwolf to zoom past while watching this... Yes. I know I am showing my age.
Looks like a dystopian wasteland to me.
Yes, or maybe an old western. 😎
Rattlesnakes in hot weather.
Yes, I wonder how this area is in the summer. Snake beware I am sure.
How bout me and my 4x4 Jeep Wrangler
No challenge for a Wrangle but still worth the drive! We miss our old Jeep. 👍😎
