oh
hello
good
hey guys thank you for watching our video we really appreciate it if you like some of the
content in that video now i'm going to kind of dive into the details of where we went um what
trail we took and all that kind of stuff so let's just jump real quick into it for this trip we went
to a place called big john flat we're really close to big john flat i'm going to take us to google
maps and we'll see exactly how to get there so big john flat is um just to the east of beaver utah
funny little town name if you come down here to beaver you're going to get into
the town and you're going to head directly east there's only one road that's going to
take you out of town there it's this little highway 153 big john flat is going to be
just before you get to eagle point resort i didn't even know that this ski resort existed
it's just a little tiny ski resort it looked nice maybe someday i'll go up there i've no i'd know
nothing about it didn't know it was even there so just before you get there you're going to hop
off of the highway and you'll get on a little dirt road i think they recently um graded the road
because it was super smooth super nice really easy to go up we were able to cruise pretty
quickly actually we had read before that it was kind of washboard kind of like a really bumpy road
like a washboard and we didn't experience that at all so we drove all the way up to big john flat
and there were actually quite a few people camped there lots of trailers i think people are getting
ready for the hunting season so people like set their trailer up already getting ready for that
um so we found a spot but then i went looking around a little bit and i actually found a better
spot and it's this little place this big meadow here so when you're coming up the road this road
right here is the road you'll take down and around
and then we camped on the far side of this meadow right here
um we actually drove off the road a little bit right here and we
tucked in the trees back in this corner one of my favorite camping spots i feel like every week
we get so blessed with some of the best camping um that i've ever experienced i'm realizing utah
has so much more to offer that i don't even know about like i had never heard of this area before
i'd heard of the tushers but i'd never heard a big john flat or anything i've never gone there
whenever i think of beaver i think of like the armpit of utah sorry people from beaver
but this place was really great really enjoyed it can't wait to go back and experience it again
i will leave a link to the google maps of a pin drop of exactly where we camped and just
remember you have to take this little side road here that doesn't show up on google maps so we
camped the night there we met up with our friends callum and holly and then the next morning we went
up to delano peak and delano peak um you can find it on all trails pretty easily it was beautiful
it kind of has like this purplish tint to the rock up there uh it's a hard hike it's steep
um it's only a mile and a half to the top and you do 1650 feet during that time which doesn't
sound like a ton but it's it's a lot uh it's it's straight up we took riley up there and it was very
windy and it got pretty cold because of the wind so we had bundled him up into a puffy jacket and
that definitely helped but he was just tired of the wind he hated having the wind in his face for
a couple hours so we quickly got off the mountain once we got up there but check out some of these
pictures that people have posted like this is what we're working with here just really beautiful
really cool ridge lines you're kind of up above the the tree line once you get up there
and as you can see from the video it's just really windy but really beautiful
and you get up there and you're just over 12 000 feet
it was a little hard to breathe once you get up there which is normal with altitude so to get to
delano peak again you can go to all trails and get the gps coordinates there pretty easily but also
you're just going to go up that same road you came up to get to big john flat
so this main road that takes you all the way up big john flat is right over here
and we camped right over here so you're just going to stick on that main road
all the way up to here and there's no marking for the trailhead at all there's no
no sign no post nothing so we just parked on the side of the road here and there's a little trail
um see if we can get the satellite layer here
so yeah there's just a little trail that starts right down in here
and you're just gonna work your way up here and you'll find the trail eventually
we parked like right here and kind of walked through the brush here but there's a
more of a trail right around the corner here so then you just work your way up and delano peak
is right back in here you kind of go up this ridge line and then i think it's right in here
um anyway really beautiful hike really beautiful place to camp we absolutely loved it can't wait
to go back and experience some of the other mountains there as well someday i might run a
race up there there's a 100 kilometer race that runs through the tusher mountains and man the
tushar mountains they're they're really cool they i don't think they get enough um credit for how
great they are if you found this video interesting or you liked some of the the videographer we had
please give us a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't already
it really helps us out we're trying to get to a thousand subscribers which would be really cool
that allows us to start making even just a little tiny bit of money from youtube even if it's ten
dollars a month uh that that'd be really cool for us and it seems like um we can you know put that
to good use on our outdoor adventures and continue making these videos for for you guys to watch
so we will see you soon in our next video we've got a lot of things going on a lot of things
we're building um some expos that we're going to we're going to the overland expo or i am going to
the overland expo in colorado should be really cool so we'll see you real soon in those videos
