TOP 10 PLACES IN UTAH | (That Aren't National Parks)

In this video I break down my top 10 favorite places in Utah, one of the most diverse, adventurous, and beautiful states in the countries. Filled with snow capped mountains, deserts, waterfalls, canyons, salt flats, and more, Utah has so many hidden gems. So much so that there is an endless amount to explore even past all of the national parks, which is why in this top 10 you won’t see any national parks featured!

    #2 – Snow Canyon: Continue N on Highway 18, up to Veyo; "turn right at the light on the telephone pole" (no joke), going toward Pine Valley. They a campsite area, with a small lake, with trout fishing, hiking to the surrounding mountain peaks for a panoramic view of the VALLEY. Heaven is so peaceful there.

  3. john whitworth on June 10, 2021 at 11:15 pm

  4. Mick Scilipoti on June 10, 2021 at 11:17 pm

    Hit a few of my favorite spots, but left out a few that I might put on my own top 10 list. Excellent video.

  6. jbwads2001 on June 10, 2021 at 11:18 pm

    It is videos like this that have caused my state to be overrun with insufferable Instagram tourist. The national parks are bad enough with all of the crowds. Now you want to send them to destroy the rest of the state? Boo! Thumbs down!

    the white line is the Bonneville shoreline

    The Curtis Formation overlies the Entrada, forming the greenish-gray
    caprock on the buttes east of the parking area. This formation takes
    its name from Curtis Point in the northern part of the San Rafael Swell.
    Fossils in locations outside the park show that the sandstone and siltstone comprising the Curtis was deposited in an ancient (Late Jurassic)
    sea. The greenish color comes from minor amounts of glauconite, a
    mineral that contains iron and forms in modern ocean sediments. The
    presence of glauconite in the Curtis Formation is significant because it
    further supports the idea that this rock unit was originally deposited in
    an ocean or sea. Another prominent feature of the Curtis Formation
    rock layers is the undulatory surfaces of small parallel ridges and hollows, called ripple marks.
    The type of ripple marks (see figure) displayed in the Curtis suggests that at least parts of this area were once a
    beach of this ancient sea.

    how could you miss Erda…..what a total miss

  11. Nyall London on June 10, 2021 at 11:23 pm

    I enjoyed the video. Question, do they allow you to fly drones in Utah State Parks? I would love to go back to the Pink Dunes and fly my drone. Awesome video.

  12. zacattack500 on June 10, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    There is dozens of cinder knolls (volcanoes) in Washington county alone.
    Hurricane has three. And molly’s nipple, the mountain that looks most like one, is NOT a valcano.

  13. JAJ W on June 10, 2021 at 11:25 pm

    Utah has a lot of hidden gems. I love living here, we plan all our vacations in state. I love your pics and descriptions, but it’s very obvious you are not a Utah native by the way you pronounced "Kanarraville", "Hurricane" and "Zion".

  14. James Nielson on June 10, 2021 at 11:28 pm

    Nah, Utah sucks. Everyone disregard this video and stay out of the state😉. But seriously, also amazing… Timpanogos, Pineview, the Uintahs, Bear Lake, Cascade Springs as well as the hundreds of trails along the Wasatch front.

  15. MegaBigbaddad on June 10, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    Great video. I’m planning a 10-day family trip thru Utah and this is exactly what I was looking for.

  16. 5yearsout on June 10, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    The tough part of making this list is figuring what spots to leave out, you are correct that it is an extremely environmentally diverse place to explore.

  17. Jason Unruh on June 10, 2021 at 11:33 pm

    Goblin, the earth was flooded(its in the bible) and those are the remainder of giants. Everything turns back to stone or dust. Literally everything. I can show you a tank from ww2 that is half stone half tank. Get on google earth and look around and you will discover faces. According to the book of enoch(which the bible quotes in the book of Jude) it states that the giants were 3000 ells tall. How many ft is 3000 ells? According to google 11,250ft. I’ve found giants spanning entire states and continents. But im sure you’re just gonna mock and call me crazy so this is where I say cheers. Open your eye…. and i mean your pineal gland

  18. Rock Skipper on June 10, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    Utah looks like a bunch of bad farming practicing …. Exactly what we are doing now .. trash the upper layer of soil and make the land drain quickly

  19. atrain84 on June 10, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    So glad none of this is just hitting places in or around SLC.

  20. Dave on June 10, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    What areas of the badlands do you recommend for a day trip to see the rock formations? Like a good location/trail to start the journey

  21. Melissa Flores on June 10, 2021 at 11:36 pm

    So beautiful thanks for the great tips!

  22. trentuno sabato on June 10, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    Lived there for 7 years… I love Utah and the people. Lived, loved and still loving it..

  23. Gerald King on June 10, 2021 at 11:39 pm

    Utah has "hidden gems," but I’m going to f@ck that up with more self-promoting, brain dead videos to stampede the brain dead down on top of them. UTAH, LOVE IT AND LEAVE IT ALONE.

  24. PALEO MAN on June 10, 2021 at 11:40 pm

    You know nothing about Utah

  25. Nofer Trunions on June 10, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    How’d you like I70 Eastbound approaching Black Dragon Canyon?

  26. The Chronicles of Chadwick on June 10, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    That music is cancer

  27. Quandryx on June 10, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    I have been living in Ut more than 10 years , but know not thing about it , now a little bit by your video clip thank You so much , God bless You

  28. eli imperio on June 10, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    Nice place, new sub here..

  29. Kevin Eassa on June 10, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    Thanks for watching! Check out my new video ‘Top 20 Places in Utah You Need to Visit’ where I dive deeper into the state and include national parks, state parks, the Uintas, & much more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syxsvczgxqA&t=3s

  30. Robert C on June 10, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    You forgot monkey mnt. its in southwest Utah. where the air force would test crash helmets by launching them down a ramp. after they were done "testing" most monkeys didn’t survive and the floor of the mnt is covered with monkey bones. it a creepy hike, but one that will get the goose bumps.

  31. Alejandro Valderrama on June 10, 2021 at 11:44 pm

    Hey! can you make a Video with the point of view from earth?? i would like to see how they look from earth not from the sky please

  32. milleadh on June 10, 2021 at 11:44 pm

    also maybe learning your states insane geology would help you explore..

  33. Cliffton Tucker on June 10, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    amazing video thanks for sharing! is it safe to safe the drone laws are relaxed in Utah been trying to base trips off of that lately

  34. jacqueline schael on June 10, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    Fantastic job, Kevin! Thanks for the great ideas!

  35. silvere36 on June 10, 2021 at 11:49 pm

    Beautiful images-especially Booneville

  36. I choose Kind on June 10, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    I can always tell when someone is not from Southern Utah. They don’t say it right. It’s really pronounced Hurricun.

  37. Jordan McKee on June 10, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    I would STRONGLY recommend checking out Dinosaur National Monument, Red Fleet, Flaming Gorge Resovoir, 9 Mile Canyon, and the High Uintahs In northeastern Utah. Incredible locations with strong contrasts between high mountain and desert formations. Fantasy canyon there is intriguing as well. Duchesne and Uintah Counties are secret gems in Utah for sure.

  38. 09cuni on June 10, 2021 at 11:54 pm

    So ironic that the most natural places on earth have become the center of attention of the most unnatural people on earth (i.e. instagram culture).

  39. Photo Trekr on June 10, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    Thanks. Always looking for less crowded places.

  40. James Aldrian on June 10, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    I climbed to the top of the volcano in snow canyon

  41. George Anderson on June 10, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    Thank you for sharing loved it

  42. I choose Kind on June 11, 2021 at 12:00 am

    Salt flats are so stinky! 😂

  43. AKPete on June 11, 2021 at 12:01 am

    I can tell he’s not a local because of how he pronounced the cities and parks, but that okay 😉 Be-UTAH-ful!

  44. Jerry T on June 11, 2021 at 12:03 am

    Thank you a lot Kevin for introducing these wonderful places. I really like the view of Monument Valley at 10:37 in the video. It looks like John Ford’s point, but not the same. Where is it?

  45. I choose Kind on June 11, 2021 at 12:04 am

    Kanarraville has a great rock slide, too! Love this video!

  46. socknuts19 on June 11, 2021 at 12:07 am

    Bonneville => Bon uh ville

  47. m8trxd on June 11, 2021 at 12:09 am

    I reeeeally want to watch the video, but I was queasy after one minute. I subscribed anyway….. seems like great content. I think there are methods that youtubers have to shoot and edit drone videos so that the viewer won’t get seasick/carsick.

  48. Joseph smelly underwear smithy on June 11, 2021 at 12:09 am

    UDUH🤒😷

  49. waywardmuse on June 11, 2021 at 12:11 am

    Great footage and tips – especially like the fact that you make this video about THE PLACE and not about you! Keep it up!

  50. Les Bouma on June 11, 2021 at 12:11 am

    Awesome. Headed there in 2 weeks.
