Canyon de Chelly flight
This is a video taken in northern New Mexico and southern Utah. We flew down Canyon de Chelly. I'd never heard of it before this trip, and it is one of the most beautiful canyons ever.
I've added music, and it is best viewed in HD to see the detail in the canyon.

[ed. Pretty scenery! Having said that, I would respectfully suggest giving some thought to how many I.P. addresses visiting this site daily (dozens) resolve back to FAA HQ in DC. Just sayin...and I don't like playing bad cop as much as you don't like reading it...I'd suspect <g>. Just a gentle reminder that lots of non-RV folks read this site daily for various reasons. v/r,dr.]

Laura and I went there a couple years ago, great place. Also, Monument Valley and Page AZ.
You can fly in to Chinle AZ, local motel will pick you up if you are staying there. take a guided tour through the canyon with a local guide-----fantastic time.

Flying like this especially over a National Monument is exactly why general aviation and RV's have a bad reputation. While the 2000 ft agl is only a recommendation in National Parks and Monuments it will become a rule if we abuse the privilege. Smoke just proves this flight was all about showing off.

Also agree with Dave. Plus these flyers don't know what state they are in...

judgement
First, I actually enjoyed the video and music. A ton of home made videos from small planes abound... and most just entertain the owner. This was kind of fun.
Having said that though... I would not have turned smoke on.
Drawing attention to low flying aircraft in that way is bad for all of us.
There are many places where the Native Americans have pretty strong feelings about the land.... and many places where the feds are not amused at our antics. Best not to poke with that stick in my view.

Wow! Poor taste to fly this way in a national park. The canyon floor is only accessible through guided tours. I would think this would be highly frowned upon. Not cool.
