Denver to Salt Lake City - Scenic Road Trip Through the Rockies 4K

In this video we make the complete scenic road trip from Denver, Colorado to Salt Lake City, Utah. Our drive from Denver, Colorado, to Salt Lake City begins on I-70 westbound, winding through the majestic Rocky Mountains under a sky that briefly opened with a light rain, casting a misty veil over the rugged peaks and lush valleys. As we ascend through Vail Pass and Glenwood Canyon, the rain clears, revealing vibrant alpine meadows and towering evergreens, and we got close to an active wildfire that sent a faint haze across the horizon. Crossing into Utah the next day, the landscape transformed into a dramatic desert expanse, with red rock formations, the outstanding San Rafael Swell, and vast plateaus stretching endlessly under a blazing sun and a few clouds. Turning north on I-15, we marveled at the stark beauty of the Wasatch Front, its craggy peaks guiding us into Salt Lake City, where the city’s skyline welcomes us after an unforgettable journey.

This drive was filmed in July. The video is playing at normal speed and the speed can be adjusted to go faster or slower in the video settings.

(The beginning of the video says we're heading eastbound on I-70, it should've said westbound I-70 instead.)
