What was your favorite part of the video? I just couldn't get over that drive leading into Grand Junction from the Naturita area (Highway 141). The footage really didn't do it justice. As always, you can check out the online store at KamchatkaGear.com to get your SUV RVing stickers or to pick up some accessories for your SUV camping, vandwelling, overlanding, or car camping adventures.

The red rock canyon was beautiful

This brings back memories. I was traveling in the opposite direction. At Colorado NM I found myself following a convoy of antique cars that was either in no rush or couldn't go any faster. It forced me to relax and take in view instead of my usual hurrying. I really enjoyed the drive down 141, including the flume. I camped on a mesa above Nucla but was chased off by a very violent thunderstorm that I feared would wash out the road. Exciting times.

My favorite part was your authentic ease at not knowing or having a plan for what to do next. I found it very zen. We talk a lot in our home about sitting with the discomfort of the unknown and being at peace with it. A large part of adventure is having the freedom to choose in the moment what to do or not to do. I liked the way you explored your feelings around hiking and climbing and checked in with your body and followed your intuition. Sometimes what we call "lazy" is actually needed rest and relaxation. Believe me, I get it. On any given day I would rather be in nature than be in bed "resting" but it's the adventures we take within that help us most appreciate the adventures without. Thanks for sharing your journey!

I did some of that same route (Phoenix, 4 Corners, Durango, HWY#141 to Fruita, 139/40 to Vernal, 191/28 to Lander, 20/16 to Buffalo, WY) Late Sept. 2017. I agree "Spectacular". Like you, I couldn't stop saying "how great this drive is." Late summer the roads were EMPTY and the feelings of "Classic American West Road Trip" were overwhelming. We live in a Big and Beautiful country. Thanks for showing it off of others to enjoy. :)

Yeah, the flume was super cool. I would have loved to rappel down and check it out in person, but I didn't have any of my climbing gear with me. Where are you going to be at the start of April? I don't know if you'll still be in Buena Vista, but I'll be passing through the San Juans and Grand Junction and probably Moab again if you're in the area.

Can’t believe the scenery just unbelievable

You are so laid back your videos take my breath away

I was glad to see the drive north to Grand Junction, I lived in Colorado--Denver area, but never did much on the western side of the state. I agree that the area closer to GJ resembles the area along the Colorado River north of Moab. I enjoyed the Monument footage as well. The Napalese food buffet looked like a winner, I used to frequent a Pakistani buffet in Boulder--gotta have good food at least once on a wilderness hiking trip, great choice. I too would like to live in the Grand Junction area simply for it's great proximity to diverse terrain. Keep up the good work.

I live right near that Nepalese restaurant, it was enjoyable to watch you visit a lot of my haunts.......there are a ton of things to do around Grand Junction.....hiking rafting/kayaking/ climbing. Awesome climbs on Sunday Wall(that granite section you were in before Unaweep Canyon). Rattlesnake arches is nearby, it's the largest collection of natural arches outside out Arches Ntl Park.

Next time you're exploring western Colorado try going north on Highway 145 also known as the San Juan Skyway. It's been designated as one of the most scenic drives in America. It loops through the most beautiful mountains in the country. Starting down in Cortez near Mesa Verde through Dolores, Rico,Telluride, Placerville, Ridgeway, Ouray ,Silverton, Durango, Mancos then back to Cortez.

I’m just watching this vid for the first time now, 3 years later, and I need to pause here and thank you for your honesty about your anxiety/reticence for being around people. I am much the same way. Someone asked you how you know if you are trespassing when you choose a campsite, and I am very curious about this. (There was no answer to that question) As a woman who travels alone, this is often a sticking point for me, more, perhaps, than it might be for a man, and I do hope it’s a question you might answer.

Sometimes your V idios take the breath out of this ol` lady... Love your videos and thanks for sharing....You take care of yourself and keep going

Great video. I lived in that area (Norwood, CO) for many years and often drove Unaweep Canyon . It is an almost unknown gem, as you discovered. You are mispronouncing "Naturita" - when I moved down there the locals quickly taught me that it is properly pronounced gnat-ur-rita instead of natch-ur-rita.

All your videos are excellent

I live in Singapore (expat kiwi teacher), I've travelled a little in west USA and love it, and what I like most about your videos is the scenery and hearing your comments about the scenery and I am more than happy with the driving vids like this one. Thanks for them. Jill

Beyond that, having knees damaged by too much Spring skiing it's unlikely I'll personally do the hiking you do so I'm enjoying vicariously the out of the way places I'm unlikely to otherwise see. I'm more of a forests and meadows person myself and, though your own thrall with the drier environment is plain, in watching these I have confirmation that it's the trees I need. I do very much enjoy the background information you include and appreciate the research that goes into it.

Hi Jeanette. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Let me know if you have any questions about camping in your Sorento. I live in Ogden. I'm a fair-weather creature and am not happy about the snow we've gotten these last few days!

I like the drives Tristan, they are amazing. Nothing wrong with a scenic drive like that. Funny thing, I think maybe I have a bit different attitude re: other people on hikes, and it has to do with my age (I'm 70). I like a pretty quiet hike with *almost* nobody else, but I feel better if I see 1-4 other hikers in a few hours. I guess I figure if something happens I could get help, So I think I've lost some of my feeling of being immortal. Too bad. :) Very nice while it lasted I think. (Thinking about a PLB or related).

That’s interesting....I would not walk that walk way especially carrying water. That drive is so beautiful..Again the drive is just breath taking. I love the sun shinning above you my son use to fly into Grand Junction regularly. But he didn’t get to tour at all it was where he flew in and left from ..as a pilot.

I love this part of Colorado though my home is 1200 miles away. My great great uncle was John Otto who you noted as the first to climb Independence Monument. He was an eccentric who loved his solitude in the rugged western landscape and he campaigned local and federal officials to establish this area as a national monument. He was also the monument's first superintendent putting in some of the first trails of the new park. However his 'eccentricities' (mental health??) were a bit much for most people, apparently and he ended up moving on and out of California. I enjoy your pictures of your previous climb up Independence Rock and the information about Otto's climb. Interesting that some of his original drill holes are now used as climber handholds today - didn't know that. Love your channel!

The thing that caught my attention is your plans to move away from Ogden. To me, Ogden is an excellent central location for SUV RVing and has probably more trail networks than anywhere in the country as I know you really enjoy hiking. You are an hour away from the Unitas that has more dirt roads and boondocking and hiking then you could possibly do in a lifetime. I hope before you leave you will explore and do more videos around the greater Ogden area.

Honestly, I think Ogden is a great place. I've also lived in Provo and Salt Lake, and Ogden is by far my favorite city along the Wasatch. But I don't like winter. Or more specifically, I don't like snow (the cold I'm okay with). So I want to move to a more desert environment. I'm a desert rat at heart. We're actually thinking now of moving to Moab if we can swing it. I've spent a lot of time in the Wasatch, and I'd like to move closer to ranges that I haven't explored as much. I've climbed something like 16 of the 22 Wasatch's 11,000-foot peaks. I've climbed all of the mountains around Ogden multiple times and via multiple routes. I've climbed most of the major mountains between Logan and Santaquin. I will agree that the Uintas are incredible. I've climbed I think 12 of the 19 13,000-foot peaks in the Uintas and a bunch of smaller peaks, though you're right in saying that there's more than a lifetime of adventures to be had there. The problem is that you can really only go there from June to October (if you're like me and don't like soft, deep snow). I moved to Ogden because my girlfriend's (now fiancee's) family was here, but we also want to get away from them and be by ourselves. Don't worry, I've done a lot of exploration of this area. I just haven't filmed it. I'll definitely do some Uintas videos this summer, though.

Gates like that are common on public lands. They're a cheap way to make a gate and to keep cattle in. If it were private, there would be plenty of No Trespassing sings and a real gate with a lock on it. I could also tell by looking at my map that this was most likely public land.

That Flume was really cool and def invokes brave Workmen risking (and probably some losing) their lives so long ago. Hanging Flume Wikipedia... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_Flume

I love it! I really enjoy heights, but I can see how they're not for everyone.

Hubby and I are thoroughly enjoying your videos. Will be out there our selves at some point but not soon.

Are there maney snakes there?

I didn't see any snakes this particular day, but I saw two the day before and one the day after, so yes, there are plenty of snakes in the area. Definitely something you don't see in New Zealand, I suspect, unless they hitched a ride from Australia...

How's the hip?

It's doing well. I just finished up with my last physical therapy visit on Thursday, though I still need to do it on my own at home. It doesn't hurt anymore, though occasionally it'll ache if I've been doing a lot of physical activity. I've gone on a handful of hikes and haven't had any problems. So far, so good.
