Canyonlands National Park - Day 1 of Jenna & Dale's Vacation - September 2021

Hey guys, this is Jenna and Dale with Resort TV 1 and today we're in a car. We are in a car. It happens. We're not in our car though. No, we're not in. We're on vacation. Yeah, vacation. So excited. We didn't tell anybody where we are going. So it's gonna be it. Well, you'll know by now cuz we're gonna post it on Instagram. But we thought we'd vlog some of our vacation as well. So guys right now we're in, where are we at Dale? Salt Lake City, Utah. Yeah, we went to Utah. Now this isn't our, so this is where we flew in from Orlando. This isn't our main stop. It was the closest airport to our destination. Yeah, so we're heading to right now on our way. Well first we had to stop for Starbucks. Of course, she had to get Starbucks. But we're on our way to Moab, Utah, which has a ton of national parks. Yes, the sun's kind of in a weird spot. Anyways, a ton of national parks and the first one we're gonna go to today is Canyonlands. Yeah, not Candyland. Not Candyland. Canyonlands. Canyonlands. We've been here before. But it was kind of a quick little trip. So we're hoping to you know, explore it a little bit more and it was amazing the last time we were there. We were there in October. So it was a little bit chillier and now it's gonna be warm today. A couple years ago, October. Yeah, a couple years ago. So let's get on the road. It's about a four hour drive. Let's get it. Yes. Let's go. Check it out up here. There's like a little teepee. That is really cool. All right, so we are about an hour from our destination. Canyonlands and Moab. Getting closer and closer to all these beautiful, beautiful mountains. Cannot wait to get there. We just turned on the road right here. This, we're about to turn on to it. That will take us to Canyonlands. Look at these red rocks, mountains. I don't know what you want to call them, but they are so cool. All right, we made it to our first stop here. Canyonlands. Cannot wait to check this out again. We've been here about five years ago. So let's go in, check it out, see if it's changed at all. I'm sure it hasn't but you know, it was amazing the last time we were here. So let's go. So let's go to Canyonlands. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Oh, oh, he's leaving. All right. Well, I guess we better go. All right, let's go. Guys, check this out. Oh my word. This is only the first stop here in Canyonlands, right next, across from the Visitor Center. And it gets even better, if I remember, from five years ago. It's hard to believe it does. Right? But it does. It's breathtaking. It is very breathtaking. It makes you feel really small. It does. Way down there on the trails, way down there somewhere, right there. There were dudes on the trail. Yeah, with like four wheelers. Four wheelers and dirt bikes and everything else. Would love to do that. Yeah. It almost have to be, I don't think we're going to be able to do that this time. I have to be here longer. Yeah, well, you don't have to. But the things that we want to get done, we don't have time to rent the off-road vehicles as well. Even though it would be a blast. And I would probably scare this lady. Probably wouldn't go with this guy. The views from up here are very similar to those to the Grand Canyon. Spectacular. One thing we liked about this better than the Grand Canyon is you could drive down and around these places. The bird thought so, too. Do you see the guy down there? Way down there, is he on a dirt bike? Or on a side by side or something, off-road vehicle. The trails, they just go way. So cool. Would love to rent an off-road vehicle to do that. So Dale went a different path, but I found a Jenna approved path that was a little not as scary. So we're going to go back up my path on to the next spot here in Canyonland. Check out. So we found a trail here at Canyonlands that said it's only a 30 minute trail is one of the shorter ones. And it said it was fairly easy. So we decided we're going to do this one. See where it takes us. Down there's the cars. And up here we go. So our destination is right down there by the Mesa Arch. It's not too far. Jenna's she's rocking it. She's like, I'm waiting on you, Dale. I'm waiting on you. So we made it up here. Check this out as we come up over the edge. Whoa, it's way down there. I crawled up here towards the side top of the arch to get a perspective of the view from up here. Wow. Absolutely incredible. And right here, as you can see, is the arch. And down there's Jenna. She couldn't find me. She thought I fell over. Our next stop is Green River Overlook. So we're going to go check this out. Down this path. All right. So we're almost out to the lookout. And there's a nice, nice paved walkway out to it where the other one didn't have any paved walkways. All right, guys. Here we go. I don't want to show you yet. Plus, I need to look where I'm going. Are you ready? Oh, wow. Oh, that's amazing. It's brown water next to the green down there. So the river makes the green. This is crazy, crazy. There's a zoomed in look. A little bit better look at that. Down there. It's a little foggy. Because the sun's maybe hazy. Yeah, the sun's behind the cloud right now. Here again, the Green River Overlook still. Super cool. It's just incredible, all the rock formations and everything that are around here. And this guy, I thought, looks like a duckhead of some kind or a birdhead or something. Actually, a little bit of a smile. The views up here are incredible. We'll get Jenna in action. So there's little campsites out here. Kind of cool off the path. Tent camping. Oh, there's a RV out there. I got Jenna to go on a little adventure because our car is up there. Oh, there's our car. And I convinced her to come down here. It's fun. I don't know how we're going to get back up. We're probably not. We're probably not going to get back up. I'm going to get down here to check this out. See what we can see. All right. We made it down here and it is so pretty. So pretty. Wish it wasn't so hazy. You could see more. The last time we were down here, you could see so much more. But it's still really, really cool. Now, where do we have to go back to the car? Uh, Dale? Not funny. So towards the end of one of the roads is Grand View Point. We're going to go check out and see how grand the view of this point really is. I bet it's going to be amazing. So here's the trail takes us down to the Grand View Point overlook. There might be some hiking trails as well. Wow. It's looking pretty grand. Here we are looking over the edge. Oh, wow. Look at that down there. How cool is that? Another amazing shot. So here is our last stop here in Canyonlands, Buck Canyon overlook. This way. Let's go check it out. It's already beautiful and we're not even there yet. Oh, my goodness. The sun's shining, so it's not as hazy over here right now. Wow, there's Dale getting a shot. These views are spectacular. All right, here we go down. Sharp curve. Yeah. Understatement. We're heading into Moab. And the last time we were here, I remember all these huge red rocks. I mean, huge way, like literally surrounding us. And then big mountains in the back is the entrance to. All right, guys. Well, that is it for our first day of vacation. We were at Canyonlands, had so much fun. We highly, highly recommend Canyonlands. We actually prefer it over the Grand Canyon. I mean, the Grand Canyon, of course, is amazing. But Canyonlands, we just we just love it. So hope you guys enjoyed it.
