  • Spoiler Alert - I used to be terrified of driving on any sort of mountain road. What's something you used to be afraid of that you have conquered?

    You make some of the best videos on here. Not overly "produced", but SO WELL produced. Your passion for nature is about as evident as possible.

    Alice, I discovered your channel a couple weeks ago. Your videos are up there with some of the best solo women on you tube. I’m 75 years old and have such fond memories of Canyonlands and Arches when I was younger. I really hope to get back there soon before I get too old to travel and hike. Also your narrative voice is so comforting and soothing! So glad that I found you, thank you for what you do!!
  • Alice, this is one of your best presentations of a NP yet, if not the best. I was at Canyonlands two weeks ago. Planned for a few days and stayed for ten. I watched a sunrise from the spot you closed at above Shafer Canyon. Spectacular. Love what you do and how you do it. You’ve been a true inspiration in my life. Thank you!! ❤️✨👏
  • @elwaupo1
    I really like the way you produce your videos explaining the history of it. Your travels inspire us to explore and appreciate the beauty of our land, thank you ❤
  • I was just there last weekend. I did the Potash Road and hooked up with the Shafer Trail going up with my new 4Runner. Canyonlands and Arches are always fun. I also did the hike to Morning Glory natural bridge. Love your videos.

    We did the white rim trail in the 80's with a baja bug. Left the dog in a kennel the camper at the ranger station and off we went in the baja for an overnight trip. We actually had to talk the rangers into letting us go because the baja is not 4 wheel drive which was a requirement then. Was a fantastic experience, I am glad to see you got to do the Shafer trail. I want to try it again with my ADV motorcycle but I am not much of an off road rider so we shall see.
  • One of my favorite trails. If I have newbies with me, I do this first, just to see what level their driving skills are at. Wonderful video.
  • @viktor_rosen
    Dear Alice, thank you for another masterpiece! Very impressive) But nothing compares to your beauty! Love you ❤❤❤
  • @jimnorwood8133
    My wife and I went to Moab our first time in June 23. It didn’t disappoint! We drove the same route up to Canyonland and the Island in the Sky. It’s absolutely majestic. I can’t wait to go back!
  • @susans8539
    Beautiful and stunning landscape. Great commentary. Thanks for sharing!
  • @overwatchxrescue
    Looks like an epic drive with some gorgeous views! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
  • @rampk9014
    I love this episode & would definitely try to do this next summer :) Thank You Alice :)
  • @kv3417
    The Pendleton curve in Oregon. I think it's called Dead mans curve. Especially when it's winter and wet, slick and snow.
  • @karljacobson8521
    Wonderful video. We loved Canyonlands. I was surprised at the massive size and width of it. Stunning views from above. Keep up the great work and beautiful videos.
  • Thanks for taking us on this sketchy drive! Not sure we'd try it although we did drive the Gemini Bridges Trail, rated easy by the Jeep Rental folks. Still some scary spots but great for us.
  • @marty17f
    Thanks Alice, after working all day I needed a relaxing video to watch.
