TOPIC VIDEO! This was a fun one! WITHOUT CHEATING by re-crossing the same border twice I believe this is the only place on earth you can switch timezones 7 or more times in less than 2 hours. KEEP IN MIND THOUGH, this only works 8 months out of the year. ALSO remember to be respectful to tribal authorities when entering reservations, and feel free to give them your business and tourism! Take time to learn about them! Welcome to the complicated world of Navajo and Hopi reservations in the USA....ENJOY! Thanks SURFSHARK for sponsoring!

Holy cow. I actually did this on a huge road trip in 2021. Worse yet, we started crossing the Hopi/Navajo Narions the day after DST started in March. The entire time, we had no idea what time it was and even our phones couldn’t keep up until we got to Flagstaff. Was just a caveat of our month long cross-country trip, but I didn’t realize we could’ve broken world records 😂

For even more confusion you could have done the trip the night of the DST change around 3 AM (or whenever is the change).

But without DST it's all just one time zone, if I got that right

I drove through that area several years ago. My phone did automatically change time zone when going into the Navajo nation, but didn't when I drove through the Hopi nation.

Now imagine Belgium and the Netherlands having different timezones. Then there would be a patchwork of timezones within one village (Baarle-Nassau/Hertog).

Hawaii also doesn’t follow daylight savings. I only learned this because I’m taking online classes at University of Hawaii from another state and for 3 days missed class because I was an hour early and thought Zoom was malfunctioning😅😅

I was looking for this comment. I was in Hawaii when daylight savings time switched in 2022. 10/10 would do again.

Being from AZ, it's one of the things I miss is the nonconformity to day light savings time. Having driven the whole state many times, can confirm you can do this and highly recommend, amazing nature, food, and people

Next challenge would be to maximise time spent in a single Sunday (i.e. running away from Monday): Counter starts at 0:00 time at start location, and stops at 23:59 time at finish location. No date switch allowed between these two points in time. Do not forget to choose the date of the endeavor wisely, i.e. the Sunday where DST switch occurs.

OMG, my husband and I (and our dogs) unintentionally did a similar sort of road trip driving from Mexican Hat, UT to Kanab, UT in May 2019! We needed to be in Kanab by like 8am to make it to the in-person permit lotteries for Coyote Buttes North and South. We left Mexican Hat at 4am and didn't realize there were this many time zone changes between UT, AZ, and Navajo Nation. My phone was set to auto-update the time based on location, but my husband's phone and the car's clock was not. What further complicated it was that the car's clock was set to our home time (CA), but my husband manually set his phone to UT time. The time on my phone kept changing and I was just baffled and never knew what time it was during the 3.5 hour drive. It also wasn't clear if my phone registered the difference between Navajo Nation and the rest of AZ. Anyway, we made it in time for the lotteries and got permits for Coyote Buttes South. The route we took was 163 S to 160 W to 98 W to 89, if anyone is wondering.

When flying back to the US from Korea a couple months ago I passed from March 12 to March 13 back to March 12 on one flight. I always liked that since I keep a daily journal.

I had a similar experience on a vacation to the area. We had to manage 5 time zones within a week between NV, UT, AZ, Navajo, and NV again after DST change.

Great job as always 👏. You did miss to mention Big and Small diomede islands here off the coast of Alaska, one belongs to US the other one to Russia. They are 2.3 miles apart I believe, but 21 hours of difference, and 20 hours in the summer. The only reason they are not a full 24 hours is because of the local time regulations. But yeah hop on a boat and 5 minutes later you are in the past or future depending on the direction. Cheers 🍻 😉

I literally live at the border of the Navajo/Hopi Reservation right at the Navajo County sign where you stop to explain in the video (on the Navajo Nation side, also its the board for Navajo and Apache Counties)! We make that drive at least a couple of times month or more to travel into Tuba City and to Winslow if we want to take the second mesa route.

Dude! You never mentioned WHY Arizona just says no to DST. It's because of the summer heat; if I get off work at, say 6pm on a beastly hot June day, I'm READY for that sun to set and the temp to start dropping toward 100F. Which it might do by 10pm if we're LUCKY. Our neighbor state Sonora, Mexico does the same thing. Thanks for the great vid, Paul.

Barby, are you going to be the special guest in the USA episode?

Most of the Canadian province of British Columbia is Pacific time zone, PST which is GMT +8. The small town of Yakh in eastern BC is just west of the change over to Mountain time zone, MST which is GMT + 7. When BC goes to daylight time, Yahk doesn't want to change their clocks so they pick up the time zone signs east of town and move them west of town changing to MDT which is GMT +8. This may not last much longer. California is discussing eliminating the change to Daylight time and if California does that. BC will as well and Yahk won't have to move its time zone signs any more.

When I was a teenager, Tennessee had some funny time zones because it didn't recognize daylight savings time AND already had two time zones. So, driving from southern Virginia in the summer, you changed times on entering Tennessee then changed again a few hours later when you got to Crossville TN (or thereabouts).

My dad and I did this drive in reverse in 1986 in a 1974 Mercury station wagon with a busted alternator. We bought a new alternator in Tuba City and had it installed when we got to the Grand Canyon.

I literally just got a headache from Arizona's timezones to their reservations.

Fascinating content as always.

Loved living in Page, Arizona, for a few years, beautiful country, beautiful people. Interesting living in a little no-daylight-savings-time enclave surrounded by Navajo lands to the south and east and the state of Utah to the north that do daylight savings.

Arizona and the Hopi Nation got rid of daylight savings, but the Navajo kept it. During the spring and summer the rest of Arizona’s in the Los Angeles time zone, and the rest of the year it’s on Denver time. But the Navajo nation’s always in the latter.

Omg, my family and I drove this road this summer and thought the car was broken, because it was switching the clock sooo much now i know why XD

I had read about this mishegoss but it was fun to see what the trip looks like. BTW, I generally refer to the Comanche Nation and Iroquois Nation, etc. instead of using the term "tribe." You did it some of the time and I appreciate that. The USA negotiated treaties with all of these entities as sovereign nation to sovereign nation. The fact that the USA broke nearly all of the treaties does not change, in my mind, the fact that they are nations.

I feel like watching that episode of the West Wing ("My name is Tobey Ziegler and I work at The White House")

I live in Mesa, AZ and sometimes need to go to Boston on business. When I take I-40 through northern Arizona during DST, my cell phone can't keep track of the correct time, and it's sometimes two hours off.

I knew they had their own jurisdiction. But some seem to not get it through their skull

technically speaking, you could do this between the UK and Ireland as the UK's GMT and Ireland's WET can sometimes disagree by a few seconds (as GMT ignores leap seconds), so you can do an even more pointless form of this.

In July 2022, I visited Page Arizona. While driving around the area, I was in nearby Utah as well as on Navajo Land. Especially the borders of Navajo Land were kind of complicated without any signs. I was so confused by the automatic time change of my phone, that I arrived for my tour to Antilope Canyon one hour too early.

At Wupataki the shop is in one time zone and the trail is in another

If you follow a slightly more circuitous route, there's a road that does go back and forth across the same border a couple times that will give your road trip an additional 6 or 7 time zone crossings This route is a bit longer, and essentially just extends the road trip. At Ganado, turn onto US-191 and go to Chambers (leave Navajo Nation). From here, you have two equally legitimate choices. If you turn right and drive to Holbrook, I-40 will cross the border six more times, plus one instance where the border follows the paint between the two westbound lanes which can net you a lot of (probably illegitimate) crossings. If you turn left, you have to exit I-40 at Sanders and continue on US-191 (if you do this trip backwards, there are an extra two crossings here as the border cuts off some of the northbound lanes). Once you cross the border two more times, turn left on AZ-61 at the Witch Well Store and make 3 more border crossings before entering New Mexico and not actually switching time zones.

After finishing all countries please redo some of the country or Just visit those countries and make New geography video. Always enjoyed your video dude. Good work 👏
