If you read this, I have a couple of questions. What month did you do this backpack? I want to do it and very much want to miss rattlesnake season. Secondly, do you think it is safe for a 65-year-old woman to hike it alone? Finally, would you recommend a no-frame ultra-light pack or an internal frame pack? Right now I have an external pack that I haven't used in over 15 years. I am resuming hiking and want to work up to backpacking again, but I may need to upgrade my backpack, sleeping mat, and sundry other things (like sleeping mat, pillow, and misc.; I have a perfectly fine tent, trekking poles, and boots.) I plan to build up my strength and endurance over time, so it will be a little while before I go to Salt Creek. Also, do you recommend I do this trail first, or one of the wet canyonland trails? I've never done any canyonlands. Thanks! I love your videos - they inspire me!!

Rock 🪨 racetrack!

When I was really fit (and had a looser work schedule) I used to hike Camelback 3-4 times a week, and at least one of those times would be a yo-yo, up to the summit and down to the other trailhead, then reverse course back over the summit a second time. Its a great workout and the rock formations and trail layout (with scrambling sections) are actually pretty sweet for an in-town hike. My all-around favorite in town would be hidden valley up on South Mountain, it feels more remote from the city and some of the features like the tunnel and fat man's pass are real highlights. But camelback is pretty sweet too

Hoping everything is good with Jerry and Tina. They came to mind this morning so, watching the back catalog.

Amazing shots, absolutely phenomenal photography, top notch, great job I felt like I was there with you guys thx

Favorite afternoon summer hike

Most difficult hike i have done in the valley. Harder than Grand Canyon R2R. Came down siphon draw in the datk. Lost the trail along the way a dozen times.

Page is a town, not a city

Just now got this video in my feed, June 15th. Well, I'm a long time subscriber. But I am subscribed to many channels. I guess the software does the best it can. I'm glad to see yours as usual. What an awesome place, Coyote Buttes. Thank you guys for all your videos!!! And so glad your shoulder is on the mend :)

I’m 56 and was born here. Back in school I remember a story about conquistadors seeing the future through an arch in Arizona. I wont say where they mentioned. I’m wondering if this is the same arch. And I always wanted to get adventurous and go look for it someday. What a treat!

Coming down to the wave from the top it is pretty easy to get down to the sand cove wash from the wave if you exit the wave through the left leg. No exposure!

I use to hike it often in the 90’s when I lived not terribly far away. Gives me anxiety now, too many people. And if you’re from here you will call it by it’s real name SQUAW PEAK.

"That don't help" precedes to giggle in frustration 😂😂😂

The old man noises sounds like every Precipice of Grind video. I feel like I'm listening to gay porn.

Sunset trail is best

Costco has them for $150ish right now

Bach Cello Suite No 1 in G minor - I approve. Fit the mood perfectly.

Good thing' you went awhile back" because everyone that has been going down there now ' is getting 😫!!!!

stupid baby

2:51 ❤

I’ve seen better falls for free.

Swimming in those slots in west clear creek is one of my most treasured memories of AZ. We did not have floaties. We put our gear inside water-tight bags then put them in our packs. They floated perfectly.

Thanking you!

How about NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Hi Jerry. I’m coming from the strawberry side highway 260 getting on to fossil creek road. Would there be two entrances after the road says it’s closed? Just want to make sure as I have some kids with me and need to be on the waterfall trail lol

Am not sure if it's allowed and/or if it follows etiquette am making a second comment. For the second time even in light of your twisted ankle... To be blessed or given or welcomed to be amidst such overwhelming beauty, you're one lucky son-ofa-bitch!

I just made the commitment to hike and explore more about 1 1/2 years ago. Young people LISTEN TO ME, do it now and not later. I regret putting off my adventures for so long. And for what? Because I was working? Years fly by quick. I waited until I was 55 with achy hips to start. That’s what made me say “what am I waiting for? “ Live while you can. We are not promised tomorrow. I now can’t wait to grab my aussies and head out usually October- April. I can only do short trails about 1-3 miles but we’re living our best life. My only regret I didn’t start years ago. Don’t wait. My fave memories are our sunset hikes together.

I have hiked both these trails often enough. It is very refreshing to see these trails from your camera angle perspective. We are so fortunate to have these outdoor 'stair masters' in the Valley!🙂'

What Trail Head did you start at.

Very cool and human video. I've been mentally and physically beaten down by a trail or two and it is humbling. And frustrating. I did most of my hiking in the Canadian Rockies, but I'm retired now and RV in the desert states. The joy of being able to hike without cold and wet weather gear like in Canada was quickly quashed by realizing that I had to often carry at least that much weight in water. I'm 67 now, and a few year ago section hiked the first 152 miles of the PCT. I have also done a lot of desert hiking where there is no trail to follow, and in some ways that is even more satisfying. My Golden Retriever carries his own pack and food and water for us both for the day.

Cakewalk!

Discount code doesn’t work

How do you get out😊

This has become the new Mount Everest. Pretty soon there will be guides and sherpas charging thousands of dollars to carry peoples water bottles.

This one got me to just get the permit and go, got kinda stuck on my list of things I must do and spooked off by recent events and high demand. The video was key to scoring a permit Feb 1 and knowing all the things I needed to do at the start. There are too many people in the campground but at least I knew to expect a crowd, most are friendly and that made it fun. They let groups arrive at the trailhead super early, especially as it gets warm -- no need to worry about early access, they told us to go on in if nobody is there. It seemed most people were leaving from the Caverns at 4AM and drive to the Hilltop. We did the full backpack in and out and the canyon has more shady spots than I expected, only the switchback section is difficult, but please note with this comment: I hike Grand Canyon every year the last 50 years.

Good stuff, I hope to have a chance to visit some of these spots up north. You have a good eye for scenery and framing a view, and adding Tina helps show the scale.

"You remind me of a man. What man? A man with the power. What power? The power of Hoodoo. Hoodoo? You do. Do what? You remind me of a man..."

Pretty cool yes I was there years ago. My brother brought me out there way before I even moved here the Tucson and then we took a trip that was one of the spots we stopped at. I would never tell anyone how to get there the less people who know the better.

Another tremendous video. Thank you!

The sonoran trail off dynamite is a mtb trail first and foremost. Its a single track trail, thats why its narrow compared to most trails.people stay off it

OMG....how the hell do you get down that thing😮

Fab shots of the Moki and your whole experience was a walk down memory lane. Thanks you!

Yours is the best video I’ve seen for that hike. You know how to show the uniqueness & beauty. I hope to hike there sometime! Thanks!

Jerry, Have you been to Sycamore Falls out by Williams, Az?

Awesome ❤

Thank's for this amazing video :) Is there also a permit needed for the Top Rock Arch, the Second Wave, the Alcove & Melody Arch? Or are they free to go?

6/3/2024, just watched this video. Drove Long Canyon a few times in different vehicles, one being a one ton Chevy Van rear wheel drive. But that was back in the early nineties, looks like the road has deteriorated a tad bit. Thanks for your videos. You do an excellent job of filming, editing and soundtrack. Makes me wish I was young again.

GREAT REVIEW! I was really on the fence because of the cost; but I am NOW convinced. Going to order after I finish writing this comment. Thank you!

I saw it in the 70s by boat.

Beautiful editing Jerry - Please people pack ALL your stuff out.
