Ep. 101: Bears Ears & Natural Bridges National Monuments | Utah RV travel camping

- One of America's newest National Monuments, Bears Ears has been the subject of intense debate since it was first proposed. No matter your position, no one can argue that Bears Ears encompasses one of the largest collections of Ancient Puebloan, or Anasazi archaeological sites in the nation. It also entirely surrounds Natural Bridges, one of the nation's first National Monuments. So as we go camping in southeastern Utah, boondocking right within Bears Ears, we bring you along hiking to explore both.

ABOUT US
Welcome to Grand Adventure, a CZcams channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, nearly always filmed in stunning 4K.
We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the western U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and our dogs Zoe and Maggie are avid boondockers, so you'll seldom find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds. Instead, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. And unlike most other RV channels on CZcams, we're not RV dealers or full-timers -- we're weekend warriors just like you!
We'll provide tips and insight on equipping and maintaining your RV, trip planning and travel videos to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

Another great video for sure. Your videos are documentary perfect. I think eventually you will be asked to do a TV show........... good luck. A new PBS show starts this fall called THE RVER's.
Now you're going to go and make us blush again, William -- thank you so much! Also, thanks for the info on the PBS program -- we hadn't heard that before.
Another great little adventure. The ruins look a very cool place to explore. Another great spot on my list.
It's already on our list to explore further. Thanks again!
Wonderful seeing Natural Arches and surrounding area. I became interested in this part of the world after reading Desert Solitaire by Edward Abby .
Added to our reading list.
Nice pictures of the ruins. Another great video
Thank you Richard!
Another great video Mark! Love all the information you put in the narrative.
Thank you so much, Chris!
Hi Marc...thank you for guiding me towards this video. This looks like an awesome spot!! Yes...you are correct; it'd be an easy loop to leave Ouray, thru the Paradox Valley to Monticello, then down to this Bears Ears Monument, and then loop over to check out Valley of the Gods. But....as you know, it is like Lays Potato Chips.....you can just stop at 2 locations in UT!! Safe travels!
If not, keep it in your back pocket for next time. The sheer number of Anasazi ruins that you simply stumble onto is mind-numbing.
Thanks again, another really cool place to go explore!
Indeed it is! We can't wait to get back down there and explore more.Thanks for watching, Mark.
Nice... Have to go there,,, Getting very excited about my trip... Feb. 2020...
Selby, Bears Ears should definitely be on your itinerary.
Another amazing video. Very well done. Nature channel should hire you to do their videos. Have a great adventure
Thank you so much, Telly! Appreciate you watching.
My sister and I almost made it to Natural Bridges on one of our trips and now we know what we missed! Gotta go back and explore. As always love you videos! And the music is great!
Yes, you need to get back! Thank you so much.
Another one hit out of the park, Marc! Like others, the narration just makes the visual impact stronger. Thanks!
Thank you so very much, Mark!
Super sweet camping spot!
Enjoyed your tour of the Natural Bridges monument and very informative.
My wife and I love the scenic beauty of your videos and the information that comes along with them.
I heard about the living organisms on the surface down in Sedona. It reminds me of instruction I received when I was up in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. They warned us about not stepping on the permafrost.
Thanks for a great video!
Thank you Ram, as always! You're certainly one of our valued and most prolific viewers. It means a ton to us.
Unfortunately, I’m almost caught up on all your videos. This means soon I will have to wait like everyone else until Wednesday to watch a new Grand Adventure video! 😞
@@laughingram7287 I'm just awed at your dedication.
Another stellar video
Thank you so very much, John!
I liked your video. I especially liked the location of this video. I have not been to that particular area.
Thank you Brian! It's a wonderfully underutilized corner of Utah.
Jaw dropping scenery. Great video work. Thanks again for taking us on another adventure. If I could time travel, that would be a perfect spot.
It's odd, Spell Madam, but you actually feel like you ARE time traveling there. Squint a bit and you can almost feel, almost see the ancients living on that land. Thanks again for coming along on another adventure!
Beautiful country Mark and great video coverage. Looks like you guys had it to yourselves. Looking forward to your travels over the next few months. Thanks for taking us along. God speed and safe travels.
Thanks so much for coming along, Stewart! Safe travels and happy trails.
Another fabulous video with wonderful pictures and great information.
Thank you so much, Diane! We really appreciate seeing you at all of the Premieres.
Thank you for this video. I had never heard of these parks. I'm always looking for new places to explore on what has turned into our yearly pilgrimage to the North Rim.
Thank you so much! Don't recall seeing your name around here before, so welcome, too. Bears Ears would be a wonderful stop as it's not too distant from the North Rim. While you're in the neighborhood, consider boondocking in Valley of the Gods (czcams.com/video/-uY-FV9bMg8/video.html sorry for the production values, it's one of our first videos) and camping at Lone Rock Beach on Lake Powell (czcams.com/video/ZGlbYKsD7xc/video.html - same excuse). There's also Goosenecks State Park near Valley of the Gods & Mexican Hat, and Kanab (czcams.com/video/ZFPn5Wk25LA/video.html) is a funky little desert town where you can visit Best Friends while you're there. Have a great trip this year!
Marc! Homerun! Fantastic video my friend. This place looks amazing but more importantly you've explained what's happened/happening with the land. We appreciate all of your information and videos! 👍🏾
And we appreciate you guys, thank you so much! There's a Pikes Peak video we need to go watch... 😎
Spending a few weeks in southern Utah in September. Your videos are really helpful and inspiring!
We're so happy to hear that, Kristie! Thank you. There are more southern and central Utah episodes to come, too, so stick around.
That’s an awesome campsite!
Thanks! We loved it.
This was part of our recent S. Utah trip and when we stopped at Nat. Bridges there was only one other vehicle in the park! Beautiful country and of course another great video!
Thank you Jay! We definitely loved the relative solitude down there.
very informative and really peaked my interest in visiting this area in the near future. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
Then we accomplished our purpose, Steven -- thank you so much!
Stunning.
Thanks again Marc
Thanks again Mark! ;)
Beautiful and informative as always. Thank you for all the details re video equipment and camping sites. My google map always gets a few new pins after watching your videos. 🙏
That's great to hear, Allison! We really appreciate your comment, and thanks for coming along.
Another great video! Thank you!!!
Thank you Craig! Appreciate you watching.
An amazing video. Thank You !
Thank you very much!
You really know how to find the right spots to camp, I’m trying to find a small off site boondock for myself but at present no joy in the uk , house on fire “awesome “ and the bridges even better and the views spectacular Thankyou Marc
Thank you G&Z! Are boondocking sites hard to come by in the UK? Here in the US it's slim pickings on the East Coast, as most of our public land is out west: nationalmap.gov/small_scale/printable/images/pdf/fedlands/fedlands3.pdf
Thanks for sharing! Loved the video 👌
Thank you! Another new name to us, so thanks for being here, too. We'll have to check out your channel!
Another enjoyable video!!👍🇺🇸
Thanks as always, Sam! It was great to see you at the Premiere, thanks for coming.
Awesome! Good to see you!!! We are finally doing our dream. We have sold everything. We are buying a boat a live on!!!!
Excellent! Sounds like we're long overdue to wander over to Wandering Knapps! Great to see you folks here.
Great video. Congrats on your 10K.
Thank you Lucy! We appreciate your support as always.
Mark ~ you’ve done it again! Fabulous narration of this great vacation spot! Excellent B Roll and history!
Question: generally how long is your stay at each location? I know it will vary but on average, how long do you “pitch your tent?”
Thank you so much, Jim! We typically get antsy along about day 3. We tend to stay much shorter than most, especially because we want to share as much as possible each time we roll out of the driveway.
@@GrandAdventure Thanks Mark! Keep up the great work!
Another amazing video. Great work.
And another amazing comment, thank you William!
@@GrandAdventure You are kind.
Best campsite ever!
It's definitely up there.
Wow, I love your videos. I keep noticing some spots on your videos. Have you thought of having your camera sensor cleaned? I have seen some videos on cleaning then on utube using a lens pen.
This one (and the next one) had a bad smudge behind the UV filter that we hadn't noticed while filming -- so sorry! We were deeply disappointed ourselves to see it when we offloaded the footage. The sensor, though, is immaculate.
Gave you a thumbs up. Nice video. Please clean camera sensor regularly.
Thanks! We actually wet clean it frequently but sometimes those specks sneak in before we notice them. For some reason that Sony a6500 seems to attract a lot of sensor particles.
Excellent Edit! I was looking forward to seeing this clip because i was just there and visited both at the beginning of the month also.( videos on my channel).When were you there? It was pretty cold when we were and a lot of rain. safe travels to you!
We have to wander over to your channel and see your take on Bears Ears, Robert! We were there May 6-8, just prior to the start of this rainy spell. Thanks so much for watching!
I guess it is Mule Canyon Cave Towers? You make finding stuff hard.
It goes by multiple names, we chose to use the name on the sign at the site.
I’d like to know what is the name of the last song in your video “it’s awesome”
If you mean the one in the closing (and opening) credits, it's "On My Way Home" by the 126ers: czcams.com/users/audiolibrary_download?vid=830502c99ef9d134
How long is your trailer front to back. Is it a good length for the locations you go to. Do you have limitations due to the size or not? Thanks again!
Sam, we're 25'11" tip to tail, from the hitch front to the rear bumper. The "box" is 23' long, and it's 15' wide with both slides bumped out as the slides oppose one another. We've found no issues at all with size, aside from small, older Forest Service campgrounds where we have to park side-by-side with the trailer as we're 51' overall when hitched.
As usual, information is incomplete. a permit is where?
True, you need to obtain a $2 hiking permit available at a ranger station or major trailhead. We mentioned that in the video. There are no permits required for overnight camping.
