beautiful day here in Utah again we had a great night camping in Cathedral Valley it
was so quiet I think we got up at like two in the morning go to the bathroom and I peeked
my head outside and it was some of the most beautiful stars ever it was so pretty and
we have just been driving all morning because we're getting to our next destination area
and we are driving just south of Hanksville this road you guys that goes down south of
Hanksville is unbelievably one of the prettiest drives the rock formations you've got some
Snowcapped mountains in the distance it is so beautiful we just pulled off here to have
breakfast and one of the best views from our camper for breakfast Utah is such a special
place it is so unique I mean every corner everywhere you go I swear it's just something
different something more beautiful than the last so our first stop today we are going
to see some arches in an area we have never been to um we still have like probably a little
over an hour driving we're gonna get back at it let's go drive
we made it to our first stop and we hit a little oopsie so our last trip we took with
the truck camper was to New Mexico to Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Texas to Guadalupe
Mountain National Park and our annual national park pass is always in the truck though we
can find it today we have no idea what happened to it um we think that the park pass flew
out because it was so windy during that trip that it might have like flew out and we didn't
see it happen we are at Natural Bridges National Monument which is Utah's very first national
monument and we were gonna go buy another annual pass they didn't have any left we had
to pay the entrance fee of $20 fine but here's a little tip for you guys if this ever happens
to you and you need to buy another pass and they happen to not have passes you can take
your receipt to the next like National Park area you can take that $20 credit and put
it towards the annual pass but it has to be within seven days because that's how long
those little sheets are valid for so yeah so this receipt right here is valid for seven
days so we have to go to another national park within seven days in order to get that
credit of twenty dollars towards the annual national park pass I'm really glad the ranger
told us that because I didn't know you could do that so that's a bonus so we'll have to
stop somewhere and get our annual basket so Natural Bridges National Monument it's just
a short little one-way Drive I think it's nine miles round trip and you stop along and
see I think it's like five different arches just short little walks to each Arch so it
was short and sweet I lied there was actually only three arches here I thought there was
five and we saw two of The Arches first Arch you can kind of see that one from the road
you can do a hike down to it the middle Arch is a mile and a half hike we skipped that
one and then we ended with that big one that you just saw in there my last footage there's
yeah it's not Arches National Park it's a monument so it's definitely not the scale
of Arches National Park but it was cool I'm glad we checked it out so now onward we have
about hour 20 more minutes of driving
after leaving Natural Bridges Monument we drove Highway 261 to our next destination
towards Mexican hat little did we know this Tower Road was suddenly gonna stop and turn
into steep gravel switchbacks where the road was carved into the Cliffside all the way
down the side of Cedar Mesa this was quite the drive [Music]
thank you so that was the craziest road we've taken in a while you're just like cruising
on a highway nice tarot and then it just turns into gravel and switchbacks literally all
down the Mountainside to get down to the bottom that was fun but right at the bottom we made
it to our destination so we are in the valley of gods here in Utah so our plan is to Camp
here in valley of the gods tonight [Music] Valley of the gods reminds us of a mini Monument
Valley which is only an hour away from here but unlike Monument Valley the valley of gods
is free to visit and offers free dispersed camping the 17 Mile Drive Through The Canyons
were gorgeous but get ready for some washboard Road and large dips I'm pretty sure we hit
the undercarriage of our truck in one place because the dips were so Steep and even though
our truck is high clearance so this road still gave our truck a little bit of bottoming out
on areas so just keep that in mind depending on what you're driving into this area and
if you have a long RV trailer it could be a little tricky for you foreign
[Music]
[Music] Valley of the Gods is way busier than any of the other areas we have been to yet
on this little weekend getaway a lot of really cool sites were taken already it was pretty
full but I do feel like we found a jam so cheers to that so it's pretty hot today I
think it's like 80 something so it's pretty hot in the camper and we could totally get
the generator out throw on the AC cool it down there but when you're out in the shade
it's really comfortable out here so we decided we're gonna make dinner outside here we brought
our camp stove and our camp cook area and we're making dinner outside today
we have been cooked out on this since we went SUV campus there are our fajitas they look
and smell so good I can't wait to dive in foreign [Music] [Applause]

the best part of ending a day full of Adventures is taking a hot shower I remember when we
went shopping for our truck camper that was the one thing that I needed a toilet and a
shower I couldn't have both of those I wasn't getting one and both Vince and I have zero
regrets we use our shower every single night and it's lovely Valley of the Gods beautiful
and another good one here in Utah so choose that thanks for watching guys we'll see you
guys in my next vlog [Music] thank you
