Moab's Arches & Canyonlands National Parks Plus Dead Horse & More- Shafer 4x4 Trail

10 місяців тому

From travel writer / photogrpaher Steve Salis this is a Comprehensive Guide to Moab's Arches & Canyonlands National Parks & Dead Horse St. Park & Much More. first I take you on a tour of Arches NP including "The Windows", the hike to Delicate Arch and the Devil's Garden in the Fins.
I provide photography tips at each location!
I tell you how to get a timed entry ticket to get into Aches and tell you how and when you can get in without one.
Then, we tour Canyonlands NP and drive down the 4x4 Shafer trail and drive back to Moab. We'll see rock climbers along the way.
One of my favorite photography places is Dead Horse Point State Park- this place is incredible!
I then take you on a scenic drive along the Colorado River on Hwy 128 where there are Float trip opportunities and expert rock climbing.

Wow!! You caught all of our views from our last trip!! Your definition of short is a little "Short"! It is amazing and spectacular to say the least!! Very Well Done! If you may never have to luck to get here- this video is the best!!

Dead Horse State Park is a special place indeed. I once drove up early to catch the sunrise but it was raining heavily, so I napped in my car. When I woke up the rain was gone and there was an eerie fog and a blue hue unlike anything I'd ever experienced before, and as you stated just a beautiful silence. I will never forget that day, it might still be as of today my favorite morning ever.

things like that make that place special

We travel to the west every year. I am so intrigued with the geology and creation of the Colorado Plateau. I’ve been to nearly all of the parks and spend time improving my photography skills. This channel hits all my points of interest! Love the geologic info, guide info, and the photos!!

Thanks for the comment and subscribing- it really helps keep this going. Google Ron Blakey Paleontology of the Colorado plateau. He has a couple of books on the subject

No idea why that last comment posted. Phone issues I guess. This is another fantastic video. Thank you! Planning next summer's travels to UT, WY, MT, AZ, NM and using your videos as one of my primary research sources. ❤ ❤

@TheWestisBig 10 місяців тому

I have family in the Oregon and Wa and started looking into doing a guide to some of the places I’ve been to up there. A landslide closed The road to St Helen’s - which is an amazing place to see the power of nature. I’ll wait it’ll that’s rebuilt.
