✈️ Adventure #9 | Forgotten Flight Paths | Utah’s Giant Navigation Arrows
Welcome to Adventure #9!
In this video, we track down four giant concrete navigation arrows hidden across Southern Utah. These were part of a forgotten 1920s system used to guide airmail pilots long before GPS, radar, or modern instruments ever existed.

We followed the route northeast from St. George, hiking, driving, and exploring four surviving arrows that once pointed pilots through the desert skies.

🗺️ Terrain: A mix of mesa climbs, ridge drives, and desert roads.
📍 Stops: Bloomington Overlook, Shinob Kibe Mesa, Quail Creek Overlook, and Black Ridge.
✨ Notable: Each arrow still tells a story—some guiding straight, others signaling pilots when to turn.

🔥 Trail Info:
📍 Location: Southern Utah (St. George to New Harmony area)

🚗 Vehicle Needed: Any vehicle with decent clearance—4-wheel drive not required

🏞️ Cool Landmark: Quail Creek Arrow features a unique offset—marking a turn in the airmail route!
