Upper Muley Twist Canyon (1080p)
Coming back down the road from the Strike Valley Overlook. Peek-a-boo Rock and a double arch are along the way.
Upper Muley Twist Canyon | Capitol Reef National Park | Utah
Upper Muley Twist Canyon is a day hike located in Capitol Reef National Park, in southern Utah. If hiked during Fall, you can enjoy some incredible fall colors around November.
The hike is 9 miles round trip, and the first half takes you through the sandy floor of the canyon.
Numerous arches, including Saddle Arch, are seen along the hike. Saddle Arch is the only named arch, but there are plenty more equally beautiful arches visible by the keen eye.
The first half of the hike is very easy going and almost completely flat, allowing you to appreciate the scenery.
Eventually you reach the slot canyon at the end of Upper Muley, which is worth exploring but eventually comes to a dead end – a 20 foot waterfall. It may not be Antelope Canyon, but it still has some decent slots.
Finally, you hike up to the rim and are treated with expansive views of Capitol Reef. Even though hiking up to the rim is challenging, the views are well worth it. You then hike along the rim back towards your car, appreciating the enormous canyon from your birds eye view.

Rescue of Lucky LeAw in the middle of Cathedral Valley Loop Off Road - Utah LeAw in the USA //Ep.38
We are living the American dream driving the Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica but we are doing some detours to visit some places we like.
In this 38th episode, we will rescue Lucky LeAw, our old vintage 1990 Ford F-250 4x4 truck camper, from the middle of the Cathedral Valley Loop Off Road into the Capitol Reef National Park in Utah, since the engine broke down. Enjoy the ride with us! ;)
The Cathedral Valley District of Capitol Reef National Park is open all year. Vehicles with high ground clearance, even those without four wheel drive, can usually negotiate the roads without difficulty. However, road conditions can vary greatly depending on recent weather conditions. Spring and summer rains and winter snows can leave the roads muddy, washed out, and impassable to the best high-clearance four wheel drive vehicle, so check at the visitor center for current road and weather conditions before visiting Cathedral Valley.
Foot and vehicle travel in the Cathedral Valley area is light, so be prepared for the unexpected. If you have problems, help may not arrive for hours or even days, depending on the time of year. Carry plenty of water, food, gas, adequate clothing, a shovel, and emergency supplies. Cool or cold temperatures will accompany sudden storms or an unexpected night out in the backcountry. Daytime temperatures in the summer may reach the upper 90s°F (30s °C) and winter highs may stay below freezing, so prepare accordingly. You are responsible for your own safety.
THE CATHEDRAL VALLEY LOOP TOUR
Most visitors to Cathedral Valley drive the 57.6 mile (92.7 km) loop clockwise, beginning on the Hartnet Road located 11.7 miles (18.8 km) east of the visitor center on Highway 24 and continuing on that for 27.8 miles (44.7 km) to Hartnet Junction. Turn right (north) onto Cathedral Road and driving 29.9 miles (48.0 km) back to Highway 24 will complete the loop. There are many side trips and hiking opportunities along the way.
The south end of the Hartnet Road near Highway 24 requires fording the Fremont River; there is no bridge over the river. Do not attempt to cross the river during floods or other periods of high water. Ask at the visitor center about river ford conditions or call 435-425-3791. The ford has a hard packed, rocky bottom and water levels are normally a foot or less deep. The access road to the River Ford crosses private land. Please honor the posted no trespassing signs along the road near the ford by not parking off-road or camping in the vicinity.

Driving the Burr Trail Road to Notom - Grand Staircase Escalante NM and Capitol Reef NP
In this video I drive from Boulder, UT, along the Scenic Hwy 12, down the Burr Trail Road to the Burr Trail Switchbacks, then down to the Notom-Bullfrog Road, and head north to Notom on the eastern side of Capitol Reef National Park.
Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument is one of the most beautiful places in Utah, but much of it is being threatened by mining and oil rigs, which breaks my heart. Once a place is protected, it should stay protected. I hope you will joing me in protecting this incredible land.

Scenic Route 24 to Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
After driving our Truck Camper to all 49 contiguous United States, I was asked by friends what road was my favorite! After giving it quite a bit of thought, one of my favorites has to be Utah’s Scenic Route 24! This is a scenic 75 mile road that has been freshly paved and has no lights! We drove this road, traveling East-to-West, to arrive at Capitol Reef National Park and Fruita Campground.
What makes this road special is the scenery! I remember saying to my wife, as we drove, how this road is like ‘something time has forgotten’! Around every corner is a completely different mountainous / hilly scene unfolding as you drive. The mountainous colors began as stark grayish and ended as a beautiful orangish brown that Utah is so famous for! I often wondered if it looks like scenery from the moon, or another planet! I couldn’t possibly count the times that I said ‘spectacular… just spectacular’!
If you ever get the chance to take a drive thru Utah, don’t miss this scenic masterpiece!

Burr Trail Switchbacks
The second video from our trip to Escalante, Ut. This video is of the Switchbacks at the end of the Burr Trail in Capitol Reef National Park. I have to say the Capitol Reef is my favorite National Park. I've never been disappointed visiting ANY part of the park. Always a low head count, and views on top of views. Oh, Shelf roads. I can't get enough of them. This one was pretty tame, but still cool.
