    Hope everyone has a great 4th of July! We'll be painting walls and cabinets and eating ice cream 😁🇺🇸 🎆
  • Tristan - if / when you don't keep exploring the American landscape, you could become a cinematographer - you have a wonderful eye for what makes great video; not just the content, but the presentation. Amazing work ...
  • I've been subscribed to your channel for 6 years now and have to say, you've shown some amazing places but capturing that landspout is the coolest thing I've seen in your videos to date.
  • Not a geologist, just a rock enthusiast here. There is a feature in Capitol Reef nearby called the Gypsum Sink Hole. My guess is those holes were once filled with Gypsum which dissolved away due to groundwater. Love the video as always!
  • Tristan, are you sure you are on earth & not some faraway galaxy in this video? The landscape in this area is simply breathtaking!😮 Love the Angel of Death formation & all the other dramatic spires in the canyon. They do look so alien.The drone shots are so good at showing how massive everything is around you. 👏🏻 Great job. Be safe. 🙋🏼‍♀️👍🏻 Freaky looking dust devil also 😊
  • @wadestear4750
    Thanks for taking me places I'll never be able to get to. Love it 😀
  • @johnd746
    As usual, thank you for showing us beautiful remote areas of our country. We live through your adventures.
  • That whole area of the state is one of my absolute favorite areas of Utah. Probably at this point, mostly because it's still largely unknown by most people visiting the state. I've really only scratched the surface of the entire "Swell" area, myself and it's only a few hours from where I live. It's such a great place to disconnect too because there's barely any cell signal, if any for most of that region and it's just truly and otherworldly place! Plus, the Henry's are one of my top 3 mountain ranges in all of Utah too, so it's just a magical area. It'd be an incredible place to live if I just wanted to get away from it all! 🤣

    Love this one. My old pal Utah Slim introduced me to this area 35 years ago. So nice to visit from my armchair. Thanks Man.
  • @KenG557
    Southern Utah is my favorite section of America.
  • If you haven't already done it, the trip out to the Temples of the Sun and Moon is definitely worth the time. Both of the Temples are very striking and the edge of the plateau just to the west of there is also amazing. (Capitol Reef NP is really underrated.)
  • Love your latest series on New Mexico and Utah. I really want to explore those areas.
  • @geofieldcamp
    I don’t see any volcanic rocks in the area, so probably not ancient vents. The formation resembles the similarly aged Gypsum Springs formation in Wyoming (Jurassic) which as the name suggests includes gypsum, but also limestone and shale. I suspect those void spaces likely were filled with gypsum that has since dissolved, or could be dissolution feature in limestone, like epikarst.
  • I'm impressed he managed to say Long Dong Silver without giggling even a little 😏
  • @schadlarry
    Another cool area. I'm going to need a bigger bucket.
  • this is exactly the place I wanted to go this weekend TT^TT my friends bailed on me last minute. seriously envy your ability to just go alone and feel safe about it. hopefully eventually I will get there too.
