Nevada, the driest state in the union, has the highest number of endemic fish species in the union.

Loved the video.

White Mountain Apache Tribal member here just chillin on the rez in Whiteriver AZ enjoying a vid on my local area, is good to see my home land on youtube, a lot of places in the images iv drove through or walked through just recently if not day before or after posting this comment, thank you for showing our great state of arizona and its natural beauty!

Nice video. Thanks! Chiricahua National Monument is one of my favorite places to hike. FYI saguaro is pronounced suh-WWA-row. You don't say the gu, you replace it with the w sound.

I sometimes can’t believe millions of people live here in a place that reaches 122 degrees. It’s those islands that people had to live in before AC.

Leave your Atv's and Otv's at home. Please, no more cabins

Noah's flood. The Bible is true.

I love how you always bring up the local indigenous in most of your vids. Bravo

The Chiricahua Mountains are my favorite spot in Arizona.

This is your vital moment bro. Ride the wave 🌊 🏄🏻

The sky islands are the absolute gem of Arizona. The most bio diversity in all of North America. Treasure troves of ecology. Great job once again on this one, brother. You’re doing the Lord’s work. 🌵🏜️🌲🌎

Excellent camera quality. Love the music. Nice little sampler of God’s special masterpiece called southern Utah! Just wow!

Hear hear! Long live Spirit Mountain.

You and I are kindred spirits bro. Great video. Love your passion.

Such a great video! Well done my friend. Happy to have found your channel fellow lover of ecology

Islands of Arizona...that's cool title for a video, but that's exactly what islands are...mountains in the ocean.

Great video! Good job!

Retired from USGS, your video is nice, very informative

Is that north az

sky islands!!!

This is great! Learned so much!

Well done video but the audio was much too quiet.

I’m native Texan: we say “Wah’ Chit Tah” for Ouachita… I think I might be part ouachita Indian btw but anyway, that’s how we pronounce it here…

Lovely. Thank you.

Good job with the video.

Very interesting content It’s full of information Thank you for sharing New subscriber here

who let shane cook.

You’re telling me a chihuahua made this desert

I’ve always wanted to hike Guadalupe peak in Texas as well.

Let him cook!!👨‍🍳

Well done Jack! Good information. 🏔️

Boring monotone narration

Another amazing video…. well done 👍

Great job and presentation. It made me feel a little guilty for not getting out to see more of the state I live in. 😮

Thanks for this synopsis of the sky islands -- a wonderful region, which we've been enjoying for about 40 years.

Wow you’re videos are amazing, keep going brotha

Great video brother 👍👍

Interesting video, thank you.

Thank you for the list and for providing the AllTrails links in the description 👍🏻

Really enjoyed watching this video. Have always found this part of the US fascinating. Plan on doing some backroads exploring in the next year. Thanks for the heads-up on the Chiricahua National Mon. what a spectacular looking place. Thanks for sharing.

I am from El Paso, Texas and I too love hiking. I just randomly found your channel and it makes me so happy and is educating me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and interest!

Best "unknown" awesome spot in SE Arizona? Long Park in the Chiricahuas. Higher than Rustler or Barfoot, yet largely unknown.

I live in Tucson and I love to go to our so-called "Sky Island" (it says so on all the signs) Mt. Lemmon as often as possible. In the winter at the top (near a town called Summerhaven), they even have ski slopes equipped with ski lifts and everything! The difference as you go up really is stunning, you really feel like you're gradually being transported to a different ecosystem than the desert we're all used to living in. Evergreens, lush cabbage-like plats, lakes with fish, streams, and the most stunning views of the Sonoran desert gradually fading into this foreign landscape. And the sunsets... I don't think I will ever get used to how obscenely beautiful the sunsets are out here, especially with a view like that. The sounds at night on the mountain are so otherworldly, so clearly different than the desert life, but also so clearly still influenced by the low rainfall and generally harsher climate. It's a remarkable place that I will always hold dear in my heart.

I love driving up the arizona mountains. It's definitely my favorite part of arizona

8:10 that's the part they always leave out of the history books. usually they say itwas a mob of white guys

I hate the scrublands ugliest and most uncomfortable to traverse

Papago & T.O. are the same tribe.

Amazing! I'm born and raised here in Arizona and I've never explored much of southern Arizona. We really have such an immensely enormous state with so many beautiful places

There are places in the high desert where there is sand as fine as anywhere in the world. Sea shells all the way up near flagstaff. You can see the stages and watermarks way up in the mountains.

Your history is still of, but thanks for sharing the half truths.
