I am a hiker at heart, who studies geology, and likes to make deep dives on my favorite hiking areas
Texas's Mind-Bending Mountains
Big Bend is a stunning place full of interesting geology and an enticing human history; I recently visited in late March of 2024 and was inspired by its many beautiful sights. I highly recommend a visit to this amazing park; and as always, thanks for watching!

The Great Basin: A Fractured Land

The Great Basin is a super unique geologic region within the US; it is the largest continuous region of endorheic basins (regions where water ways do not lead to any major world ocean). This video will detail the formation of the Basin, as well as a brief Native and European history in the region. This video is a slight change to my usual format so I hope you all like it!

The Islands of Arizona
มุมมอง 111K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Arizona is home to islands... but not in the traditional sense. The "islands" are giant mountains known as sky islands that due to their massive height differ immensely in flora and fauna then their surrounding desert landscapes. This video talks about the Madrean Sky Islands of Southeast Arizona. Enjoy! The Hikes: The Big Loop (chiricahua mountains): www.alltrails.com/trail/us/arizona/the-big-...

Top 10 Hikes In Southern Arizona

Southern Arizona is one of the most beautiful destinations for hiking in the entire USA; from grand Sonoran Desert scenery, to rugged grassy canyons, to towering pine covered mountains; there's a little bit of everything in this magical region.

Regions Compared: Mojave and Sonoran Deserts
มุมมอง 5816 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Mojave and the Sonoran Deserts are the two most well-known desert climates in the United States. One (the mojave) is slightly higher in elevation, and thus cooler in the summer; but it is extremely dry and lacks an abundance of biodiversity (although some is still very present). The other (the sonoran) is lower in elevation, extremely hot in the summers; but it receives more water, is more ...

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 will try to correct that with the next one
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…
I appreciate the correction!
@@thenaturalexperience2140 well when I hear mispronunciation, I know someone learned a word through text rather than hearing!😀😀
Lovely. Thank you.
Good job with the video.
thank you I appreciate that
Very interesting content It’s full of information Thank you for sharing New subscriber here
who let shane cook.
shane always be cooking
You’re telling me a chihuahua made this desert
it's a crazy thing to behold 😂
I’ve always wanted to hike Guadalupe peak in Texas as well.
i'm making a video about Guadalupe eventually; me and my buddy played backgammon on top of it like 2 years ago. It's a great hike!
Let him cook!!👨🍳
Well done Jack! Good information. 🏔️
Boring monotone narration
oh I agree; didn't expect this video to blow up! My newer vids have hopefully corrected this problem atleast slightly. I appreciate the criticism
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. 😮
it's never too late (:
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
it's always a magical journey
8:10 that's the part they always leave out of the history books. usually they say itwas a mob of white guys
history is never that black and white
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
We really do!
I myself have always go to payson area for mountain hiking but I am INSPIRED to check out these southeast Sky Islands
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.
