Without Music be better

The hikers don't look around much, and they travel at a speedy pace. thank goodness the snakes are all underground by snow time. they definitely need better hiking shoes and socks.

Nice hike! Do you not hike with a GPS enabled map such as AllTrails or Gaia GPS for situations such as this snow? Do you carry a satellite communication device?

Very cool my man

thanks

I have been here before if you look on a digital map you can see about 500 feet down from where you parked is a class 2 gully that makes for a much easier entrance and exit right next to where you park

Thanks for being such a great father and son in law duo!

Amazing views and video quality. What type of camera do you use?

I was at the hidden gem that starts with white. I spent the night there . People get shuttered in there by guides with four wheel drive vehicles. I had no problem getting there in my Ford f250 four wheel drive with high clearance. Im hoping to get to coyote south area in september. When i was at the biggest gem you showed , I thought how fun young kids would have climbing the odd looking boulders. The young boys with you confirmed that thought. LOL. Thank you for sharing...

Super Cool Stuff!

I love Cochise County

I know you have been asked this before. Wear did you get those jeans?

So is all of this public land? I'm visiting Az

I would say the road out to this is risky. There are a few spots in the beginning half of the road that are very sketchy unless you have moderate clearance. Mt SUV that has ~8.4 inches of clearance scrapes every time, no matter what angle I take. As great as this hidden gem is, I would be cautious if you don't have 9.5+ inches of clearance.

That was a very interesting hike you enjoyed in the Supes. Looks like you started at Tortilla Flat. Thanks for your videos! BTW, did you ever figure out what that mushy red thing was in that hidden slot canyon video at the end ?

❤❤❤❤

YOU MIGHT NOT REALIZE BUT SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN IS ACTUALLY A SERIES OF MOUNTAIN RANGES. IN THAT GENERAL AREA, MANY PEOPLE HAVE GONE MISSING, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. I LISTENED TO ONE COMMENTATOR WHO KNEW OF IT HISTORY AND IS AN ACCOMPLISHED EXPLORER, STATED HE WOULD NEVER EXPLORE THAT AREA ALONE. SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN IS ABOUT THREE MILES FROM THAT CANYON.

I enjoyed watching your video. I was at Chiricahua NM with my wife and son in 2004. We really enjoyed our visit there. From there we went to Apache Pass.

I've been there twice; it is one of the few places that I can say there isn't a single section of trail that does not have a great view, or interesting things to see. A great National Monument!

Magnificent mountain area. The Grotto's are so awesome and so easily accessible. Great video!

Nice video , When you guys walked out , You came out on house rock road. To the main and busiest trail head parking lot. I love that road and all there is to see along it. From route 89 down to 89A . I was at that parking lot when i hiked the wave last july . I also went in that slot canyon and there was a differant ladder there then. Love that area . Going back this summer or fall again. Thanks for the great camera work.

THIS ARE A SMART GUY. HE WENT DOWN THIS ROAD, AND PARKED IN THIS PARKING LOT. HE WENT INTO THIS SLOT CANYON. THIS ARE A SMART GUY.

I really love your videos. I feel like a lot of hikers in arizona stick to the basic well-known trails and neglect hidden gems like this. A few years ago, I had hiked the major mountains in phoenix 10s of times. Then I explored the superstitions and bradshaws with a friend, changed my view of hiking completely. Its about the adventure, not the summit

What a fantastic place! Luckily I am only 7 hours from it. I could also go to Zion in 6 and a half. I might prefer the solitude of this wonder instead? I will wait for the seasons that aren't summer.

Great video, such a unique and beautiful place.

The nearly 10-mile long Big Loop hike (including Inspiration Point) covers most of the Monument. There is not an extensive trail system here, but still, a very worthy destination when in southern Arizona.

I have heard stories about them, but now I see why the Indians cherished them so much. They are unique and a natural fortress too. It's amazing how many balanced rocks are still there also. ❤

This video has done so well! great work

Ohweee I bet there were some great rocks in that wash that mountain is full of mines there is tons of amethyst corsocola great rocks out there! Nice trip thx!

Not the only way. If you would have went a very short distance more down the road, there is a small masonry enclosure on the West side of the road. Across the road from here you can easily scale down the rock face into the canyon with very little issue. So much less treacherous of a down climb vs. where you all went down. Did you go through the extremely narrow "cave" (actually a rock fall)? The end of this hike was through the concrete culvert, and up to the road. Oddly enough the walk back up the road to my car was way more strenuous (for me at least) than the hike in the canyon.

That was really good info about the javelinas... any other advice about staying safe from wildlife during night hikes?

Thanks for the clues. I think I know the general area of where this slot canyon is based on the roads I have seen around Apache Junction.

Reavis apple orchard in Arizona

I shot a whitetail deer years ago back in the wilderness area, while gutting the buck, I heard voices and walked maybe 30-40 years I looked over the edge and saw the bridge on fish creek hill road and people had stopped there and were talking! And I thought I was miles from any people.

Was that an octopus at the end? Is there an ocean under AZ?

Looks like you put in near the Clifton wastewater treatment plant and ended at where Bonita creek joins the Gila.

The arizona rivers are running good this spring. That looked like a whole lot of fun. The water in march would be to cold for this old man. Great excperiance for the boys , good for you chaperoning.

Cool adventure, thank you for sharing! Do you need a permit to park on camp on this route?

The Superstitions is my favorite place to hike. So beautiful, and I love the stories, myths and folklore about the Superstitions.

Would be a great oasis for apocalypse living

Great video of that hike! It was a pleasure meeting you, hopefully our paths will cross again sometime!

Nice! Had it rained before that? Or is that spring water in the shaft there?

Hiked up when i was seventy years old. Just amazing and some times scary sections. My hats off to the folks that imbedded all the cables and steel so that we can make the hike all the way to the peak. Good job doing the hike with camera gear and getting all that great footage.. It was fun going thru it again with you and your son. Im sure you enjoyed the wild fowers this year.

The furthest west battle of the civil war occurred here.

Really a cool canyon.

Appears to be part of what was called "The Little Grand Canyon" Used to be a turnout just Mi. 16 on the right. You can see where the old railings were torched off and a little of blacktop too. You can see it if you look. Quite a drop!

Love your videos! Where you go down from the car…is this the exit from the slot canyon from your other video? I was exploring by fish creek overlook today and had a little time after to explore how to get down to the slot (Saving the slot hike for another day) but I’m just not sure where the exit is. I also pulled over where you did in this video just to look over the edges. It looks like the only spot for an exit but I’m not sure.

Love that area, was just out a couple weeks ago when the canyon past the mine was still waterfall-tastic! Thanks for posting!

There is another cave a short distance from that mine. It goes quite deep into the other side of that same mountain. If interested contact the Central Arizona Grotto for information. Thanks for sharing as always! We love how you keep everyone’s “ pause” game on point!

Always classy videos but please remember that a mine shaft is vertical and an adit is horizontal. If you walk in the mine, you're entering the adit and not the shaft.
