Highway 9 through Zion National Park Utah, the best scenic road in the USA 

@@alpinoalpini3849 so so sad should I have given the credit to his greatest enemy the one (s) who would like to blame God for all the suffering in this world? just because you believe it’s religious nonsense doesn’t make it so I behave what I believe I could really care less what you believe

All praise to our Heavenly Father Jehovah

Indeed, you are very lucky. I think Utah is the most beautiful state, well it is my opinion.

I live here too , but i dont feel as blessed lol

I feel blessed to be able to visit and enjoy the splendor that Utah has to offer but then I can go back to NYC where I live :-)

@Underdog only brain cells and logic lol

@Underdog yep. I just hide out in the desert with my family away from that cult

Wonderful!! You can check out cost effective hotel in Utah, US enjoy the video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Mg0SQ6ZSrk.html

This, along with many other beautiful drives in America, was done BEFORE idiot environmentalists were allowed to exist in decision making positions within our society!

Retired Music Educator, Environmentalists are the reason this park and every park in our National Park Service exists. Otherwise, they’d be dotted with McDonald’s and Walmart and you name it. Is that what you’d prefer?

@@michaellengyel You wish that was all they are responsible for!

God bless grandparents!

Nebraska is pretty ugly

Jim Beam land

It is beautiful

@@johntaylor7371 Live in the USA? Feel free to depart. No one is holding you.

@@longhair2678 It's supremely useful land for human development (easy and cheap agriculture, transportation, and urban buildup options). Mostly flat(ish) open land with easy river access. It's very useful for the US to have. A lot more important than say Oregon or Utah despite the lack of comparable natural beauty and grandeur. I live in Illinois but i'm no fool. I would never trade what Illinois has for mountains and desert. The US would have gotten nowhere fast if the lands immediately west of the Appalachians were like the western US.

Yup, east to west is the best way. Driving it in person was exactly what you described. Come out of that tunnel and you're in a different world.

You are so right! Traveling solo, I drove it coming from Springdale and was blown away as I entered the park! Then on the other side of the tunnel, I thought to myself, it was like I was in a different place. Stunning all the way around, but the western side was the most surreal place I've ever been!

The tunnel is actually 1 mile long but they edited most of the drive out. There are portals along the way where years ago, vehicles could actually pull out and park to see the scenery below.

I found it shocking going back even 15 years ago. It sucks riding on a shuttle with tourists. It's good for the air quality, but still... if you grew up in the time where you could drive through it yourself, with only a fraction of the people knowing of its existence... it's not the same. I don't think I'll ever go back.

Is there a point in the video where Angel's Landing can be seen? If there is, please reply with the minute and second in the video. Thanks. I would like to do the hike in December. Will there be too much snow or ice at that time of year?

You are very lucky.

@@RedondoBeach2 This is basically a drive "through" the park. You don't see any actual trails here. However, there are many videos of Angel's Landing hike on here if you enter it in the search. I only drove through 1 time, this exact drive except I was coming from the other direction in Springdale. If you've never been, you will be delighted!! As far as the hikes, follow Zion NPS on Twitter and you'll get trail conditions, parking suggestion, etc based on current conditions. Although I've only been once and live on the east coast (GA), I follow because I fell in love and enjoy seeing what's happening there...and I desperately hope to return one day!

And Ethan, you are more than blessed! What's your preference between Zion and Bryce? Although I've never been to Bryce, I'm guessing you'd say Zion based on my beautiful experience there! 😊

@@DivaInTheWoods Hey, thanks for replying. I did the hike on December 2nd. I was able to get to Walter's Wiggles. At that point the ice and snow on the trail was too much. I did not have crampons to keep pressing forward. However, since the temperature was in the mid-40s, I decided to give it another try the next day and I'm glad I did. Although that part of the trail was still slushy, enough of it cleared up for me to hike to Scout's Lookout. When I got there, I decided to continue on the Angel's Landing trail but only got 50-60 yards on the chains before I decided that I needed to turn around. The videos really cannot effectively convey the danger of this trail. The sandstone was still wet from melting snow (no snow/ice directly on the path) and there was small amounts of loose sand along the way as well. I had the strength and stamina to continue forward, but lacked the confidence, and that's absolutely key. So I'm glad that I did turn around. I intend to be back again for another hike to Scout's Lookout, and to hike the full length of the West Rim Trail. However, Angel's Landing is a no-go for me. Tragically, another person died on the Angel's Landing trail this November. I understand she was a local. Sympathy to her family and friends.

Well until we start looking for oil.

Have you ever experienced the Wasatch Front (Salt lake City metro area) in the winter? The air quality is awful. Unfortunately, Utah is not even close to being one of the cleanest places in the contiguous states. And the people? They'd rather let Trump sell Zion off to some shady corporation that would build crappy motels and fast-food joints there than have it be owned by the people of the USA and operated by the National Park Service.

gato ryak We (Utahns) have the 2nd most public land in the country after Wyoming. Over 70% is public. With SEVERAL National Parks. People from other states always want to tell us how to run our state.

ScoDucks2020 Do you live in Utah?

ScoDucks2020 I live in Utah and am not and have never been Mormon. I just find it funny that people from other states always love to tell us & Wyoming & Idaho how to run our states and our lands. I moved here in 1978. Would never presume to move somewhere & start telling them how to run things. Especially when the place they moved from is such a craphole.

How was it? I'm from the area

福田雄太 because we have good scenery?

+7620313 I know better than anyone.

There is wide variety of scenery in USA, but the desert, this is where it shines brightest.

UnitedSnakes robbed AmaRica from ABOriginal CopperColoRED AmaRican INDYHn aka Negro!!!

Living in Las Vegas I go the the national parks all the time. There are always tourists from Japan there.

Is it better to drive it in the morning or afternoon?

Love from the U.S. to Morocco!

Zero in on Southeast Utah where all the best scenery comes together -- at least five National Parks!

It truly is one of the most magnificent places on Earth, very unique

The drive through Long Canyon (Burr Trail) in Capitol Reef National Park is also spectacular.

I drove only paved part of it in passenger car. I never could afford renting SUV.

What does that have to do with beautiful scenery?? Of course there are shitty places in cities. Still doesn't change the fact of what I said. I never said 100% of U.S. soil was gorgeous. -__-

​@mj rockfort That's no coincidence, buddy. Private land = mined, developed, ruined land.

john hamilton change playback speed to .25, put boards of Canada on your stereo, fall asleep at the wheel

john hamilton I agree, Well done video

@Dennis Mitchell You are right about the THUMP POUND comment, I agree; however, I'm so glad there is a mute button because this music was also annoying to me. I could imagine riding my (stationary) bike while watching this, but my music of choice would be John Denver's "Country Road, Take Me Home" or the upbeat score to "Joseph and the ATD" :-)

john hamilton I have been there many times it’s just as beautiful every time can’t wait to go back some day u will have to do this trip way cool

@@gavinchurch6109 Yes, I haven't been to Utah since my dad was in the United States Air Force. I want to visit Park City too.

It is not a theme park. We live here.

@@richardportman8912 yes i know that i have lived in such areas and i didnt just drive through them i got into them with all my being and explored my whole life now i spend a lot of time in the montana mountains this part of utah i have not been to but have many others so excuse the shit out of me for not leaving a compliment you might recognise but that is typical of todays american people you have to write an explanation to something that should be understood on its face.
