In this episode of our van life adventures, we head deep into the Swell and stumble upon one of the wildest canyons we’ve ever driven a van through. After the drive, we find an incredible remote desert campsite and settle in for a quiet night surrounded by the rugged beauty of Utah’s backcountry. The next day we explore the stunning Little Wild Horse Slot Canyon, squeezing through narrow sandstone corridors and winding passageways that make this hike one of the most unique in the state. Just when we think the adventure is wrapping up, things take an unexpected turn. As we head south toward our next destination, our van starts having some engine issues that could become a bigger problem down the road. Out here, miles from help, even a small problem can turn into a big one. Join us for another week of van life exploring the hidden corners of the American West.
