Escalante River Trailhead - Calf Creek Recreation Area - Scenic HWY 12 

You said you were headed to Colorado be sure when you get to Fruita to go to the Colorado national Monument and It will bring you down into Grand Junction it is beautiful and worth the trip.

No falling asleep on that road. Thanks Russ, beautiful.

Ohhh yeahhh! I was really hopping you would fly the drone on the Hogback section. They designated scenic 12 as an All American Highway for a reason, so SPECTACULAR! Capital Reef is next, and then you have got to check out Hollow Mountain in Hanksville. It's a convenience store build into a huge rock. Great video😊!

Great video amazing views, never been there but sure would like to, , hey Russ, could you adjust the passenger camera so it looks out the passenger window, just a thought, you are putting out some great videos considering the situation we are all in , we want to go there NOW 😀

WOW - thanks Russ for the Boulder Mountain scenic Hwy 12 drive. What a nice way to spend my Sunday afternoon. Luv the RVerTV Virtual Vacation 2020 Tour 🌺⭐🎶

Hi Russ my ears are popping! Wow what a cool ride we are taking today! Love it!!!!

Good job Rusty ! I told you hwy 12 was Gods Country. Live free no covid !!

Highway 12 is my favorite road in the USA. Glad you had a chance to enjoy it.

Utah - Spectacular one day, Magnificent the next.

You my friend are living the life. Stay safe out there.

That's my favorite part is where it drops off on both sides, been several years since we drove it, as pretty as ever.

I am worried about where the next gas station is?

That highway 12 is truly amazing. That was a wonderful trip. Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Stay safe and happy adventuring

Hey Russ!!! I miss watching you... I'm finally BACK into the workforce . love watching ALL your videos.. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!! STAY SAFE🙏🙏😊

At 21:10 this is the route my Uncle and I took from Bryce Canyon to Capitol Reef in the summer of 1969. At the time this road was a 1 lane dirt road with very few wide spots for 2 vehicles to pass. Not many on this road back then and I can't remember even passing 1 car. On the right was a steep drop off with trees so dense you could hardly see through them. To the left was dense forest going practically straight up. To top it off it was pouring rain. We were in a standard Chevy station wagon. Now that I think about how dangerous that road was I now understand why my Uncle was sweating bullets. Memorable trip which included listening to the Apollo Moon landing on the radio while driving east through Colorado.

WoW ❗️One of my favorite drives in 73 years of exploring we have some red sandie dust from this drive and the famous Escalante silver mine is near . After a HOT 🥵 day in Flagler Beach Fl. this made my evening. THANK YOU Russ ‼️

As if you are driving us to horizon through clouds ...

awesome scenery. Thanks Russ for the ride and views.

Another stunning video! Thank you Russ. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

Enjoy all of your videos. I hope that you will keep making them.

SPECTACULAR! Thanks for this vid. Amazing! We'd sure like to see where you camp!

Beautiful ride. Thanks for taking us along. Be well and play safe!

Stunning beauty on this highway! WOW! Thanks for the fantastic ride Russ!

Hello Russ, Very pretty.enjoying the gorgeous view, so pretty. Be safe& take care. Larry & Linda

Awesome views and a great drive, Thanks Russ

Absolutely stunning,I would give my eye teeth to be over there right now.Thank you so much

91 degrees in Portland today, but my box fan keeps me cool, and the view out your windshield is real nice!

It was like being on a rollercoaster, Russ, with the climbs and dips, and curves and twists. Neat to finally see some of the open-range inhabitants that wayside signage has warned about over the past few videos. Notice how Boulder Mountain's propensity for knocking moisture out of the sky took the terrain's foliage from waist-high scrub brush to full-blown forest? I could easily spend a year exploring every inch of the State of Utah...followed by Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada. A truly gorgeous part of the country, thanks for bringing it to us, Russ.

Wow man that's so beautiful looks like you could almost reach up and touch the sky

That stretch of 12 was amazing! We haven’t been up through there but I believe it’s now on the list!👍 It’s unbelievable how much different the terrain can be in just a few miles! This trip is great!

Scenic HYWY 12 is definitely going into the bucket list. Thanks Russ 🚐. Stay safe !

Thanks Russ, every time I said " hey Russ pull over up here", you did! That little M.B. Diesel didn't even breath hard going over Boulder mountain. Cool!

Wow! Another amazing drive! Added Scenic Hwy12 to our bucket list! Thanks Russ! Love your chuckle! 👍👋❤️🇺🇸😎😁

Many thanks Russ. Just added highway 12 to my travel list. Safe travels

I definitely recommend Colorado Nat’l. Monument on your way through. It’s a loop tour well worth the trip.

Thanks for sharing!Awesome !

Been a while since I've been through there . Love that Utah Route 12 . Thanks for the video . I took a lot of pictures there going west to east and then the last time east to west . Too cool .

I thought I might have seen Coyote and Road Runner.

Hi Russ. Wow, What a drive just spectacular views.Every video is awesome.Stay safe.

Another fantastic video. So many post card pictures around every turn.

That was quite a ride. Beautiful! Thanks. Be safe!

You drove right past it! Next time, stay at Calf Creek Rec. area. It has towering rock walls, a 214 ft. waterfall, blue water pool, creek and picturesque trails. Don't tell anybody.

Loving the show. How many people are now doing that short laugh at the end of a sentence haha. My wife now does. haha. Looking forward to next chapter. :)

another great video, just like i'm there. Safe travels

Great video the scenery was beautiful.

We just did that last summer. Just beautiful! Thanks for the video!

Beautiful !!

Enjoyed the views...thanks! Drive safe!!

For a few seconds there, I could actually smell the brakes from the rig in front of you Russ..., really good videoing!!!

Wow!!! just keeps getting better.

Thank you for the beautiful views and enjoy yourself and stay safe

Happy to be enjoying your videos from Georgetown, CO. I can't wait to enjoy that magnificent scenario, we will drive I-70 to Moab! July, 28th. Yay! 💙💜💚💝

Hey Russ!! The "ROCK" formations "WOW"!! Be safe!!

That has got to be the most amazing stretch of road I have ever seen. Thanks for the ride Russ.

Wow! Ya got my sub with this one. Thanks!

Another beautiful drive! Thanks, Russ!!!

Beautiful drive!!!

Back in 2010 had a few nights in a tent at Calf Creek one of the best ever times in the States. Helped a guy who had a problem on way back to tent at lower Calf Creek Falls , hope he got home safe and is well. Would love to come back to this area but with the cost of flights etc from England think this is just a dream not sure if we could cope in a tent now 14 years older. Thanks Russ for bringing back the fantastic memories for us.

HI thanks yes doing good have a good week love 🤗

Magnificent....spectacular....thanks Russ!

In 2018 the population of Boulder UT. 240. No Drone today?, hope it's working.

Hi Russ ! Very nice video buddy... Enjoying the ride.. Wow ! That is some High Altitude ! .. Stay Happy and Safe !

In the early nineties on the way back from LA, I took that route off the 15 to the national parks and ended up on scenic 12 and when both sides of the road vanished, my Astro van with 6 kids and a wife all went nuts. That is the biggest road surprise I ever encountered and I have been many places, i could not wait for at least one side of the road to reappear.

Awesome !!!! Thank you so much for the ride !

Thanks from Portland Oregon ❤️

You make life worth living in lockdown thank you buddy

Amazing country, Utah.

You sure got that right, the views really are endless. Amazingly beautiful drive. TY. Be safe. 😊👍

That wonderful ridge drive isn't "really" scary, but it really is one of the MOST scenic roads in America, I was hoping you'd fly the drone from the top out over Calf Creek Canyon on the North side. If you ever come through there again, and there's good reason to travel some roads in both directions in that country, be sure to stop and fly the drone. Calf Creek Canyon has a beautiful waterfall in it and is just one of many branch canyons off of the upper Escalante Canyon which ends at Lake Powell.

Oh man, I've got to catch up I'm still one video down :-)

Last year when we were on Highway 12 there were lots of rental class Cs. Most were Germans. I retired from a German auto manufacturer. I was thinking I drove 2000 miles to hear more German 😳😳. Your drive today brought back some great memories. You are right that should be on everyone’s bucket list to see.i stopped at same pull out with the restrooms. Took a picture of my Tundra with that great background. It was pretty cold and windy when we stopped.

That was cool footage Russ...Thanks...That pass was closed during winter so I have never been though there B4....Thanks Again...KC..!

if you allow me a suggestion, at the end of each video, put the road map you traveled. Thanks and congrats

Enjoying this scenic Highway 12. Thank you for taking us along. Totally enjoy my virtual 2020 vacation. Stay safe. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

Depending on location pick-up, size of vehicle and length of rental, you're looking at roughly $150-$250 a day to rent from that company. In addition, you'll be charged 35 cents a mile.

🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! Awesome! Just keeps getting better each day we go. 👍

beautiful trip

Rock my soul !!!

The drive reminds me of my dad’s talk of Omar Brad. Ww2 General made some big impression on me .

Calf Creek has a short walk to a waterfall. Magical place.

UT 12 is one of my favorite treks. You nailed it well my friend.

Amazing views , such diversity of landscapes . It must be a photographer's dream come true. Thanks Uncle Russ.

Oh my gosh, what a drive, I'm speechless! Thanks Russ!

WOW Thanks Russ for the ride, that drive is incredible!!

Amazing, Scenic Highway 12, what a road!

I sure enjoyed this Russ thank you!!! Be safe, see you next time.

Thank you for taking us on this spectacular drive. I held my breath on many of the curves, and the summit was incredible!!

Russ, did you reserve all the campsites ahead of time , or just wing it?

Too funny, we stayed at Wonderland RV park just two weeks ago. The back is right next to a ranch with cows and horses. Great campground.

Russ that is some beautiful country thanks for the ride

Wow I was going to do this highway 12 on my Zion trip in June but trip got cancelled because of silly covid. Theres's some creek falls near Calf Creek. Loved this video Russ, can we please have more of your 'down time' in the evening? Do you plan to stay at any campsites and have a firepit going? Yay!

Russ ... I really hate to break this to you, but ... highway 12 ... it's more scenic driving in the other direction! You know what that means? You just have to drive this again on your way back! ;-) I stayed at a boondocking spot just outside of Torrey - and only 4 campers in it when I was there. Saw about 10-12 deer in the National Forest you drove through.

thanks Russ....I'm enjoying my vacation

Nice job with the section of Hwy 12 along the Devils back bone. My I suggest getting an Altimeter in your van so you know just what the elevation is at all times. Would be fun to know. Enjoy your trip, I am.

Recommendation. Next trip check the Burr Trail, a black top rd that goes all the way to a overlook of the Capitol Reef. The road continues down into Capitol Reef but turns into a gravel road and would not be suitable for your vehicle. The Burr Trail starts at Boulder. Instead of making a left on 12, continue straight on to the Burr Rd. There is a campground at Deer Crk but I don't know if it would accommodate your vehicle. If planning to stay there check with the Ranger station as you enter Escalante. If you want you could park across the road just before the Deer Creek campground. It is just a large gravelled area, but I don't think there are any restrictions from parking there. And you could get water from the creek. The Calf Creek campground is always very crowded. There are other opportunities for parking off of the Burr Trail if you keep your eyes open. Remember that while it's called a Trail, but it's actually a paved road. It goes though a beautiful canyon area, called Long Canyon that you will enjoy.

Great video Russ! 😊

My wife and I traveled about 7 years ago and it was nice to see it again. Thanks for the ride.

Wow Russ! That road was so fantastic! The ridge was so long! Never seen anything like it! So beautiful! Thank you so much!🇺🇸😀🚙❤️

Awesome
