Some parks you just have to go early or later in the day to avoid the crowds, but all worth it. Really understand the Disneyland comment an about people talking so loud. We try to always see a busy park then find areas that are remote to decompress afterwards kinda like you are doing with your drive in Utah. Enjoy your cooking and just love how you still find the positives in wherever you go. There are many places in Utah to lose the crowds enjoy.
NICE DRIVE! Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, sadly we found the same thing about the Grand Canyon. Too many people, too many tourons. Too many people that are not there for the nature experience. On the other hand, everyone should see it once. Tip: The North Rim is very different but not as crowded. Ahh you mentioned the North Rim. True, it is higher in elevation so not always open.
Unfortunately that’s been a factor most places we go is that folks will not even be enjoying what they’re their to see. Instead they’re having loud conversations about stuff they shouldn’t be discussing in public. It gives us more experience for traveling and helps guide us to the places we truly value.
North Rim campground is completely different experience, opens later in year cause elevation. Took my family there last June it was incredible! Been to south rim as well years ago, was as you described
Scored a nice campground. Timely video we are taking the same route tomorrow from Mather Campground. Agree Grand Canyon is amazing but busy. Today (Saturday) was the busiest of the four days we have been here. We did bike thru Trailer Village and it was a bit junky in areas. If you are under 30’ and can dry camp Mather is very nice. So enjoying follow your trip as we are taking a similar path. Thanks
Back in 1972 as a young Ironworker, Page was a hot spot during the time a Huge coal fired Generating Plant was being built. The pay rate was a dollar above scale, so draw boomers like myself like a magnet. Little did I realize, that the harsh environment and winds were more than than this Texan was use to. After 2 weeks, I had enough, but glad you 2 are showing it in away that makes me want to return someday. Thx for sharing, Bear in Tx. Still hopeful you guys will stop in at Bears Rod Shop in Boyd Tx on the way home ? 🤠
I love your park adventures, but seriously, this is the best video you have posted since you arrived out west. I am more interested in your day to day activity. How you use your trailer and your cooking. MORE PLEASE!
I don’t know when you made this video. I’m surprise that it’s already busy. All the kids are still in school. Anyway, relax and have a nice time and watch out for other drivers .
In our experience it doesn’t matter what month you visit. There’s always as many kids as there are adults. I always ask out loud “isn’t school in session?” 🤷🏽♂️😂
Been to the South Rim many times generally avoid the summer months but once you have been to the north rim you’ll never go back to the south rim again.
Then I strongly suggest you do not go to Yosemite then. Grand Canyon Village was built when the railroad built the track to that location. The Grand Canyon RR tried to work out a deal with the Park Service to provide a shuttle service from the airport to the Village to help cut down on auto traffic and the Service would not do it. The Grand Canyon Village is over 100 years old. Santa Fe trains came up from Williams, into the southwest part of the Village into the wye, turned, and backed into the station. When we went to Carlsbad Caverns in 1958, we were in a tour group of several hundred and followed y'all's route. I barely remember going to Grand Canyon Village in 1953 with my parents. From what I remember, it was crowded then.
You must have just missed Walmart because it has been there for probably 20 years. The main reason the campground wasn't packed is because of the water level at the lake and they're being pretty much no self-serve boat launch. That and the time of year.
Give those kids in the campground a break. Cooped up in an RV for hours at a time, they've plenty of built up steam pressure that needs to be relieved. There they are, in a magic place, having fun romping around and making noise. You're not visiting a shrine, right? I suspect if I were their age I'd do the same thing. Wouldn't you?
Thanks guys. Headed to the Trailer Park Village 5/4 for 5 nights. Living the dream. Sorry we missed you.
Thank you for being a safe driver.

I enjoy watching your machine shop videos and I also enjoy watching you both go cross country.

Grand Canyon North rim was closed about a week ago when I drove by. Had the road almost to myself. Pretty but snow/melt was happening.

Come and visit the three national parks here in WA, Mt Rainier, Olympic and North Cascades. ⛰🏔⛰🏔🗻🏕

Adam on that crowded bus says it all. I’d rather have a tooth pulled than cram into an overloaded bus.
With no novacane.
We drove that road to Page last year and we thought we were going to break a leaf spring on our 5th wheel it was so rough.
Yep it’s got some very rough sections.
Zion is the same way. When I went there also got the Disney feeling.
Will you have time to see the Battleship Texas on the return trip home? They have drydock tours, however it's only on Sundays.
Not this trip.
Been to the South Rim many times generally avoid the summer months but once you have been to the north rim you’ll never go back to the south rim again.
Having traveled 89 thousands of times, that bumpy section you went through is known as Tuba City Rapids. LOL.
We so agree. We have had so many beautiful places in nature ruined by loud people.
Is it a little bit spooky going over those bumps or does it feel stable?
When you're pulling the camper do you accept the cruise control
Note the altitude of the north rim.
that is why there is snow this late of time of year.
We know it’s higher than the south rim.
@@AbomAdventures North rim is approaching 9000 feet.
Then I strongly suggest you do not go to Yosemite then.

Very rough road from Phoenix to Flagstaff on route 17.
It ain't a Abom vid if there ain't a siren in the background.

If you take the trails below the rim the crowds disappear. You don't have to go too far either .

Just about anywhere you go in the world if there are Americans there they are always LOUD
👍🇺🇲
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥃🥃🥃👍👍👍☕️☕️☕️👀👀👀🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
definately stay out of sedona then.
Don't sweat the small stuff not when you are surrounded by views like that.
Sometimes it tough to enjoy those views because of all the loud talkers and disruptive behavior surrounding the area.
You know how to really, really tell if you're old?
When you complain that the kids are too loud.........outside.
lol americans having loud private conversations. who'd of thunk it ?
It’s not just Americans!
I’ve been all over the world. Americans are by far the kindest people.
