One of the signature qualities of your vids, is how generally well-behaved are other motorists and other road-users are. About 10 minutes in, however, there was an exception. You were in a 25, when an SUV passed you on a tight and very blind curve with a solid double-yellow median doing perhaps 80! They must have almost rear-ended you to make this stunt and for some time, they continued driving wrong-side. They almost headed-on into that white pickup coming opposite perhaps a scant 30 seconds later. He doesn't know just how close he came to losing his life, extremely LUCKY. You then finished the curve with almost a mile's worth of road visible ahead; NO sign of the miscreant. Did he sail his car into the river, to become a steaming car carcass Where were Utah's State Troopers They ought to have "Christmas-treed" him, and served him up with some mandatory hospitality of their local "Greybar Manor".
UPDATE: I think that I'd counted 5 more passers, three more doing it illegally by crossing the wrong medians; at least 20 miles overspeed; and way too close to oncoming. One was towing a trailer, and about 3 minutes later, it must have destabilized and I saw him pulled over on the verge, to recollect whatever wits he had remaining. I believe that all of the concerned Utah LEA's (Park, BLM, & Forest Rangers as appropriate, too FEDERAL raps) ought to view this vid, and seriously consider stepping up their enforcement efforts on the 128. I'm surprised that I didn't see red-light blowers in the run-up to downtown Moab!

Wow. This showed up on my suggestions after I had watched other drives on this route, but they were time-lapsed versions to fit in 10 minutes. THIS was unbelievably great to watch, and relaxing. You obviously took this route at 30 mph or something close and it really allows one to grasp the beauty of this drive that all other videos fail to capture. Your picture quality is top-notch and your use of alternate angles really complements your main forward shots. I have a collection of bookmarked drives that I know I'll want to ride again. This one goes in there. Very nicely done.

This road is one of many, both paved and unpaved, that have made Utah my Favorite State in the Lower Forty Eight. Now retired and in Houston (aka HOSStown) I try to make it out to the Beehive State at least once a year, usually in late September and early October, when it's cooler. There is always something new to discover in 'Slick Rock Country'.
Other roads to consider for videos might include Utah Hwy 95 and Buckhorn Draw (Gravel but well maintained.

Hi from NSW Australia. Yet another quality road trip cam camera video by the masters of road trip cam camera videos. And we get the same road trip in both directions in two videos. Well done. Perhaps there will be a time soon when some sort of cam cameras are mounted on the car roof that will record such trips at various angles. And that the viewer will be able to activate the different views. Well, that's what I'm dreaming about.

I am from Grand Junction, CO and currently reside in Arizona, so I make the trip back and forth roughly once a year to visit friends. This route is a requirement every time I make the trip! Taking the 191 to I-70 is just so boring in comparison! Plus I try to drive through Cisco as I am a big fan of the Vanishing Point movie. I'm hoping to spend some good time exploring southern Utah next year at some point.

The colors are vivid and crystal clear of all the earth sky river greenery. I think it looks clearer on this video than it does with my naked eye in person. And the pace and speed that you move is wonderful. Such as when you pan over to the river and cliffs, it provides the magnitude and size of this area. It's very Moving. Thanks for taking us there on this special adventure.

You missed the coolest things in that road. the Dewey Bridge, the two-level cave home right in hiway, and the old wooden ladders on the other side of the hiway for dam research in the 1950s.

Another stellar video I like how you look around not just straight down the road although it’s a nice wide angle lens. Killer camera whatever it is.
Thanks again for the ride.

So it's Colorado In my environment people say when something is strange or just unusual "CIRCUS COLORADO". I don't know why, because I live ten thousand kilometers away.

I have lived in the valley of the road that turns to the left at minute 35: 54 for 12. 5 years. It is nice having this scenery every time we go to town.

I had to comment because I've done that drive many times over many years. It's one of my favorites with many nice places to turn off and explore.

I've driven this drive 3 times. It's very scenic and I don't think it takes any longer than going to the interstate and across.
