Welcome to Park City, Utah.
Since we're officially driving towards Tennessee now to make it to the Airstream Rally,
we didn't have a whole lot of time to get to hang out here in Utah. And to be honest,
for the last couple days, we've just simply worked. So we picked something today that would be
fun and just absolutely silly crazy to explore what it's like in Park City.
So before we get to all the fun stuff, I'm going to show you what we
actually did for a majority of the week, and since seeing us work is really super boring,
I figured I would take you along on my run this morning and show you the park we're staying at,
Mountain Valley RV Resort. It is absolutely gorgeous and it
has obnoxious amounts of cool amenities. But first, got to get that stretch on.
All right, let's do this.
Not only are these mountain views incredible, the air here is so crisp and clean.
And since we're right here, I'll show you where we've been doing laundry all week.
Doing laundry in a RV park is actually pretty convenient. You can do way more laundry here in
one go than you can when you live at home. Let's keep going. I've got miles to finish.
And we have multiple clubhouses on property. Let me show you one.
You might've noticed the pickle ball courts that have been all around the park where I've
been running. These things are really cool and we've been seeing them pop up
at parks all over the country so Daniel ordered us some paddles.
All right, so there's a pretty quick view of the park, but it is really awesome here. Highly
recommend, and of course, it's family owned. Since today is our only adventure in Utah,
you know what that means, a new sticker. Now that we've knocked out our sticker,
it's time for a shower because after that it's adventure time.
Just made it to Utah Olympic Park. Now if you're not familiar, Utah Olympic Park is the place
of the 2002 winter Olympic games, and while the Olympics may have moved on, what's taken its place
is a lot of fun rides. So what we found online is something called the Gold Pass,
and essentially what you do is you buy a bracelet and it gives you unlimited
access to the rides for a three and a half hour window. So for us today,
our window is between 2:00 to 5:30, and we're going to ride as many of the extreme rides as
we can, because why not? We're
in the right side of the park near the bobsled. Unfortunately, the bobsled is not included in
that Gold Pass, but we'll just save that for another day. It gives us a reason to come back.
We're starting with the drop tower. Okay.
That's counterintuitive. There are three, that is the
five footer. We're going up to 10, which is the next height.
It's only ten feet, you got this.
You got this! You're thinking about it too much. Just go for it!
There you go. That was crazy. I
don't like it. You don't like it. That
was the 10 footer. What's next? It's time for the big one. We're
walking up to the 15 footer, but that's as extreme as these little drops get in the drop tower.
You ready? No, I don't want to do that.
No? No.
You jumped off a building though. This is different.
This is much smaller than a building. And if you haven't seen her Vegas video
where she literally jumped off the building, you definitely want to check that one out.
This one's only like 15 feet compared to like a hundred story building.
I don't really want to do that. I feel like you got this though.
I mean, I believe in you. I believe in you. Yeah, that's a good idea, remove your glasses.
[inaudible 00:06:11]. I don't like you.
She doesn't like me right now, but after she does it, she loves me even more. 3, 2, 1, jump.
You got it. You're thinking about it too much.
Yeah. You did it. What'd you think about that? I don't like free falls. Yeah,
not my favorite. But I did it. Next one. We're headed to the Summit Adventure course,
and apparently there's an intermediate course and an advanced course.
If you've see our top 10 things to do in Joshua Tree video,
you know that I'm a world class climber so why would I start anything less than
the advanced? It just doesn't make sense. I'm a little sad about wearing this helmet
because the mullet is looking spectacular today. Just do what you got to do.
This is way more my speed than the free fall.
Okay, so this one looks a little bit trickier because I think you just have to balance on
this pole here, but the tower is super wobbly so that doesn't really help.
Nice. Okay, so this one looks like you've got to walk sideways on a tight wire.
I feel like you got this. There you go. Crushing it. Oh yeah.
Really good. You're so close!
Oh yeah.
This one feels like Tarzan. It does.
So he last time we were in a chair lift like this was in freezing cold weather in Lichtenstein. So
you guys hear us talk about our international travels all the time which is before we started
this amazing YouTube community, but if you want to check out some of those crazy stories,
all you have to do is go find us on Instagram at Wander Local and in my little circle bubbles
or whatever under our profile ... What do they call those things?
You see tons of our international stories, and they're pretty fun.
Not to mention the view. The view from here is ...
Pretty impressive. [inaudible 00:10:12].
Olympic Park was home to the 2002 Olympic winter games. Today the facility, in addition to having
crazy thrills, focuses on embracing, engaging, and involving Utah's youth in winter sports. They host
recreational camps and sports programs, and it's also an official U.S. Olympic training site.
All right, we're about to hit the alpine slide. A little bit disappointed because Daniel and I
can't race down it, but he thinks that I'm going to go slow so he's going to make me go first,
and I'm probably going to lose
him.
That was so awesome.
So it's extreme adventures mixed in with some altitude mixed in with some hiking.
That being said, no [inaudible 00:11:41]. Lack of oxygen to my brain is clearly affecting me, but
no open toed shoes, close toed shoes are only allowed on all of the rides.
See all the water on my glasses? It was like a small water ride. It was fun.
That was awesome. Ready for the extreme version of tubing.
With the not so baby version of the extreme tubing under our belt, it was time for the Mac Daddy
K90 Nordic ski jump. How people actually ski down these things is beyond my comprehension.
I'm not really quite sure how I feel about the baby version of the extreme slide thing, so
I don't really know. I mean, it's fun but kind of scary when it's like straight up and down.
I'm so unhappy about this.
Yeah, you got this. That
was
so much fun. I could literally do that all day. You go so fast.
Okay, even I have to admit the big one was way more fun than the baby one.
Easily one of the coolest thrill rides we have ever done anywhere on the planet.
Highly recommend. Yay, Utah!.
Although we could have stayed in Park City for weeks,
before we knew it, it was time to continue our journey towards the Airstream International Rally,
which wouldn't be possible without our trustee truck [inaudible 00:14:25], so we're going to
give you a full tour of her in our next video. So if you haven't already, make sure to subscribe and
click that little bell to get notifications about when it comes out next Wednesday.
But until then friend, make sure to wander local this week. It's good for the soul.
