America’s national parks are some of our greatest treasures. They preserve the stunning natural splendor of this country while reminding us of our heritage and history. With the help of drones, a little planning, and a lot of lucky timing, one filmmaker has immortalized the breathtaking beauty of Utah’s Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion National Parks. This incredible drone footage of Utah National Parks is somehow simultaneously awe-inspiring and very humbling; few things remind us of how tiny we are (and how significant the beauty of the world around us is) like a good, old-fashioned drone video showing the vastness of it all.
These are places where the natural landscape is so beautiful, it can be almost overwhelming. Taking to the air and viewing the parks’ gorgeous peaks, rivers, canyons, and hoodoos from high in the sky really helps you digest the immense scale and grandeur of these spots. As the National Park system has since banned the flying of drones within park territory, this aerial documentation of the beauty of Utah’s national parks is even more precious than ever before.
Check out this awesome aerial drone footage by YouTube user eon3216, and prepare to have your mind blown.
Tip: You might want to skip the intro and jump in at around the 20-second mark, but it’s up to you – either way, you’re in for a stellar treat.
