In this video we leave Canyonlands National Park and drive over t Dead Horse Point State Park. We enter the park and I show you the first deep canyon you come to by the visitor center. It is deep, long and narrow, not to mention expansive. From here you can see the Colorado River and almost the gooseneck, but that comes later. After I show you some nice images, you will see the gooseneck, almost. The cliffs cut off the head a little bit, but it all looks good. Aster seeing the gooseneck in all of it's glory, we leave the park and head back to Moab. I end the video with a touch of fall color that should help the winter blues I hope.

Thanks for shooting and sharing the trail. You've given me a few new places to visit. Great stuff.

In this video we begin at the beginning of Fins N Things. It starts off on slick rock. The blue sky and clouds as you will see are just gorgeous on this day. Other videos I have watched seem to only show the slickrock, but you will see through out the course of these videos, that there is a lot of sand on this trail. Notice the extreme angles from the back to the sky and clouds. You will see i had some pretty steep sideways ground to contend with. At about the half way point you will note a distant storm that is threatening. I added a few images of my FJ. Note the flag being straight out showing just how windy it was that day! Listen to my Skidmark 4x4 just screech at around the 10 minute mark! Shows you the extreme angles I was working with here. http://youtu.be/fvI5rhoy0Ig

In this video we continue on Fins N Things. This video shows how there is a LOT of sand there so I get to do a little Bajaing and going up on sharp banks. We also encounter a lot of slickrock that is very steep and rocky both up and downhill/ The clouds are worth noting for their magnificence. Notice how a lot of the rock is almost other worldly. There are fantastic landscapes, textures and features not seen in many places. Notice how many times the landscape changes. This video may be viewed at http://youtu.be/Hahx828QxDY

In this video we complete our trip on Fins N Things. This video shows how there is a LOT of sand there so I get to do a little Bajaing and going up on sharp banks even more than the last video. We also encounter a lot of slickrock that is very steep and rocky both up and downhill. The light was quickly fading and it was far darker in real life than the video shows. I don't mind admitting I was quite panicked as it got dark I could not see the black marks on the slickrock. It got very dark at the end. It took us another 30+ minutes to get off of Fins N Things after the video ends. We were both quite scared. Our next video finds us in Colorado so please stay tuned for that. Enjoy all the images on this video as well. It is at http://youtu.be/dqx4m6xbiMQ

I just posted my latest video from our Utah adventures. However, the last video completed our trip in Utah, but these final 3 are in Colorado. This week's video has us returning to St., Elmo, Colorado, greeting our friends the squirrel, chipmunks and various birds. I also get an opportunity to fly the quad a little bit so we get a few aerials. Please check it out at and tell me what you think. Thanks for watching and commenting.

This is a flight I had in October 2014 over Canon City, Colorado at Tunnel Drive. It captures the far end of the city, mountains, the Arkansas river and skyline drive. This is the next to last video from my Utah/Colorado adventure. The video is posted at https://youtu.be/Mi1Ac4BRb_s I hope you like the video, comment, share it and subscribe if you haven't already. I look forward to hearing from you.

This is the end of our October 2014 Utah/Colorado adventure. In this video you get to see what an Owl Hamburger looks like as well as their shakes. You get to see the park and Arkansas River in Canon City, Colorado and we end it at the Abbey. A place I have wanted to shoot for years. However, this video should serve as a warning to NEVER shoot in 4K on a GoPro 3+. It only shoots at 15 FPS and you will notice it is very jittery so I want this last video to serve as a teaching tool to not shoot in 4K with any GoPro except the GoPro Hero 4. I am so happy for all who have followed this adventure for 5 full months. I am honored you came along for the ride. Please share the series and help me grow my channel. A new adventure will start very soon on the same schedule so please stay tuned. this final video is at https://youtu.be/AGCuLFw7PTg
