The Lodge looks really nice and its a great location. You mention its not historic but if you think about it the 90s were 30 years ago now. That's historic to some people lol.
The location of that place honestly could NOT be better. So close to so much. Don't get me started on how long ago the 90s were though. I was looking for something I once owned in the 90s, hit up and searched eBay and saw the word vintage and about cried. 😂
Talking about Escalante and Dominguez. On highway 50 north out of Delta, Colorado you come to a canyon named after Escalante and a little further up highway 50 is another canyon named after Dominguez. They are between Delta and Grand Junction Colorado. I've hiked in both of them and they are beautiful and much to see there. Escalante and Dominguez got around the west in their time and warranted naming canyons after them. Thanks for this beautiful video. I have wanted to see Vermillion Cliffs, Antelope canyon and the wave in that area. Seen pictures but not the real thing yet.
We're in the same boat with Antelope Canyon and the Wave. We've entered into the lottery for the Wave a couple times and haven't been successful. We hope one day!
Glenn I think I have watched every video you have ever posted - truly wonderful job. You inspire me to go out and do road trips in New Mexico Arizona Utah and Colorado - four corner beautiful states.
Wow, thanks! This area of the country has no shortage of stunning landscape so it's not hard to be awed by everything when exploring. 😊 Hope you get a chance to visit!
That old grill, bed and frame look to be from a WW2 era Dodge WC series 1/2 ton truck. That’s pretty cool to see something that most likely was used for the war effort made its way to being used at a mine in Utah. I hope it stays up there.
That was a great idea illuminating the mine shafts. They looked fairly well-maintained in comparison to many I’ve seen on RUclips. It’s a good thing that the openings were covered with grates. Otherwise, people would be scrambling down that ladder in a heartbeat.
Haha! The temptation to climb down would be tempting for sure. I mean, compared to some ladders it looks in good condition but you don't really ever know until weight is put on it and then... well... can only hope there's no "oops" moment. 😂
Great Video - The vastness of the scenery has to be seen to be believed. Drove along the 89A about two weeks ago en-route to North Rim Grand Canyon, it's a great drive unfortunately our schedule didn't allow any time to explore the cliffs further so watching you was most interesting.
Well Done Glenn and Amy! This video is by far my favorite! Without appearing like a weirdo, LOL, I've been planning hiking trip for next fall in Utah and AZ by watching your adventures. Coincidently, I'm going to the North Rim Grand Canyon and now will add Vermillion Cliffs to the trip. thanks Glenn! And Amy great edition job!
Thank you so much! and ooh! That sounds like it is going to be an amazing trip now. Ideal honestly. And combining the North Rim with the Vermilion Cliffs is perfect! 😄
I really appreciate all you do for the channel, especially getting up early for those sunrise shots. I've been down that exact highway twice now but have not had the time to check it out as good as you did. Funny how we stopped at that exact Escalante/Dominguez historic spot but the story boards were not there yet, so we had no idea what it was at the time. Googled it later. Love, love ANY orange cliffs!
🤣he said wood shaft...sorry, I had to. Just made me think of Beavis & Butthead. Seriously, 100% it was a great episode and you did the cliffs justice! Definitely think that you did a not so often done tour of the cliffs and the mines. Can't wait for the rest of the trip!!
Still got a few more to edit (heck, even from the previous Utah trip too) so plenty more to come. And honestly? I made the same crack with Glenn last night about the mine shaft. 😅
Someone with mining experience would know better than I, but when you illuminated the mine shaft, it appeared to be the top of the elevator cage. Perhaps when the grate was placed over the mine shaft, the elevator was secured to prevent the adventurous from wanting to venture down. Very nice video, thanks for sharing.
Ohhhhh. You know, I was wondering while editing (as I use headphones and can hear things a bit differently before fully edited) what the sound was when the second rock that Glenn dropped hit bottom. It sounded differently - like metal or glass or something. Which let's be real... I'm sure plenty of things have found its way down there, be it dirt, rocks, or other things that should have been packed out. I wonder... I wonder if there's some truth to your hypothesis. 🤔
Oh gosh. In all honestly I don't tend to keep track of the music that is used in the videos as I'm more often than not downloading 2-3x (sometimes a whole lot more 😅) just trying to find something that fits and works. It was certainly from Epidemic Sound though. Wish I could remember!
My happy place. I use your videos to be there. GRATEFUL...
Wonderful! So glad to hear! 😊
I loved driving in that ancient dry ocean/ lake to the west of the cliffs. Great video . Thanks.
Our pleasure! That whole area is magic. 😄
Great view of the cliffs. We just drove through the same area. Truly breathtaking land. Thanks for the video!
Our pleasure! Absolutely agree... beautiful area. 😊
Thanks Glenn.
That tree looked good Amy.
Dude! Come on! You are killing me! Wow! Such a good job! I gotta get down there!
Thank you! 😄
Outstanding job!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for showing us another spectacular place!
Our pleasure! 😄👍

I am learning about all the things I missed when travelling through the area. Guess I gotta go back! Thanks for being an awesome tour guide as usual.
Any time! Always happy to share our adventures with others. 😄
Watching the whole video but commenting on what you said in the first minute 🤪 I agree, RUclips kinda makes you get out and go places 😎👍
Absolutely!! If not to film them, just to experience them. 👍
Scenery is outstanding here, fantastically filmed surroundings!🔥
Thank you so much. Pretty hard for that area to look bad in anything. It's beautiful. 😊

Another great video. I watch several travel/overland channels, and this has become one of my favorite channels.
That's really great to hear and means so very much to us. Thank you! 😄

That has often been our experience as well - just no time to stop and explore. It was a nice change to be able to devote time this time around. 😄
Well Done Glenn and Amy! This video is by far my favorite! Without appearing like a weirdo, LOL, I've been planning hiking trip for next fall in Utah and AZ by watching your adventures.

Glad you like them! We had seen the cliffs numerous times from near and far as well and felt it was time to really check the place out. 😄

I was just thinking the same thing. It did not look like the bottom of the mine floor.
Any danger of radiation from the mine?
Nice! Can you list the music titles used in the video?
