When I was a kid, we would spend summers at the cabin in Pine Arizona and we used to go to Strawberry Arizona and there was a Mr. Johnson I don’t remember But he had a huge garden that he would let you pick your own vegetables, and they tasted so fresh
Reminded me of the 70's and heading up to Show Low area and we found a place to camp primitive in a creek area near a fish hatchery . My cousin blew a transmission in the ol chevy heavy half and i had to swap it out with a junk yard purchase from Tucson that was delivered by another family member who bailed me out, again !😂
Great video Russ! A lot of people think there is nothing to see in Arizona but a bunch of sand and loco weeds. Clearly they haven't been there or seen a video like this. Beautiful country for sure! Love it! Safe travels Man!
I visited there about 25 or so years ago. The entrance and parking area looked nothing like what your video shows. When I pulled up to pay the smaller fee back then the “Resident mule” stuck its head into my car to clear me into the park. The ranger then told me that the mule was just doing her job. It was a very friendly mule. The park was much more prímative and homey.
That’s the old way down you will go down to the bottom and we used to fish trout out of there. They only got about six or 8 inches long but it tasted really good.
My husband and I lived there for six months while our house was being built. Love the atmosphere. And you can hike in there and go to the Fish Hatchery. We Love the hiking there. Thank you we didn’t know about Tonto State Park in Payson area.
🙋♀Hello Russ! Dearly loved the Campground in Page Springs. I thought the big plants by the water looked like Elephant Ears. The Bell rock was neat! Loved seeing the red flowers. Especially the happy flower. Enjoyed seeing Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. I liked the old house too. Would have been a nice dining area on top. Have a wonderful week!👍
Another excellent video. I know I've said it before, but I just love your attitude, and your genuine appreciation of the beauty all around us. Back in the village of Oak Creek, that place with the big smoking barbecue was the Colt Grill. Their food is excellent, and the portions are very generous. They're open for breakfast, which makes for a great start to the day. If I ever meet you on the road, I'll buy you a root beer. I'm not an RVer, although I often dreamed about it when I was younger.
We stopped at Tonto Natural Bridge SP a couple years ago, going from Prescott, AZ to a Harvest Host near Quemado, NM. Our rig is a 24' Winnebago Minnie Winnie, and I was in for a bit of a surprise going down, then back up that entrance road. Had to put it into the lowest gear and go about 5mph back up that hill. In any case, was super enjoyable to stop there. In our case, we ended up taking that hike to the bottom and took about 20 minutes each way. It was a bit steep in few places, but once down there it's pretty special.
Good one, Russ. This fills in my sightseeing around there, I couldn't see a lot from Hwy 17 on the Greyhound. Mogollon Rim, Russ! Keep that camera going if you catch a glimpse of the Mogollon Monster you'll go viral! It'll be better than catching you with a cup of McDonalds coffee! 😅😂🤣😅
This was truly AMAZING! Loved every minute. Great filming, Russ. Thanks. Tonto Park is beautiful. Got a real kick out of the face on the cliff at View Pt 3 n 4 and again at 44:29. Extra fun. Safe travels. RVerTV… the best show in town!
Beautiful! I like to sit close to tv and feel like I am riding shot gun! Feels like I am on the road. Haven't done much of thst since 2020 but I did go to Tucson, Tombstone, Saguaro Lake and Tonto State Park that summer. Even passed thru Kingman, Oatman and Laughlin. Love these places. We had traveled that Wickenberg Highway. I was googling that road after trip and that was how I discovered RVerTV! Great video Russ! Be safe out there. Can't wait for more 🌵
Hey Russ another great Vid and timely too for us. We are camping near Cottonwood and drove our motorcycles through Page Springs Wednesday after Memorial day and headed up to Tonto in mid June
When I was a kid, there was a small hole in the center where the water came out and from the picture it looks like it’s growing a lot bigger. They used to be about 5 feet around Luxor a lot bigger now.
Crystal clear video, nice commentary with a pleasant voice and interesting spots. Just the usual for this channel. That bridge was cool! Thanks for another great video!
Tonto Natural Bridge... visited in the early 70's. I think it was still privately owned. We were able to swim in that pool under the bridge!! Had a lot of fun there. Trail wasn't too bad back then. Thanks for the memory.
That old building used to be where the family lived. I can’t remember their last name but they used to charge people to walk down to the bottom of that I think and tell people got hurt and got sued over it but
It must be amazing to live in that trailer park, it looks like an oasis, heaven on earth. Thank you for showing us the Tonto natural bridge and well as the village of oak creek. Arizona is a lovely state. Special thanks for the previous video on the giant cactus. Best wishes and health. Safe travels.
Wow. I never knew about the winery's or the natural bridge, what a video treat. Still amazed how well maintained Arizonas town's and state parks are. No wonder you call it home. Be well and wishing you safe travels.
Russ, (second comment), thank you for this wonderful video! Tonto State Park, Natural Bridge is spectacular! Question: When you are out there in the early morning hours like that, are there mosquitos bothering you? Thanks!
Wow, just got back into the country after being on a month-long trip to Slovakia. It was great to sit down and see what's happening with RVer TV........
Dont know if page springs had to evacuate a couple months ago but a few camp grounds on oak creek had to account of the snow melt and rain. Did alot of damage all along the creek. Also 89A had a land slide that closed that road for a couple weeks. Keep on truckin Russ.
Real nice Russ another cool journey. The nice thing about traveling with you is I don't have to worry about watching for road signs. Safe trip as always.
Yeeeee! I love Sedona, and the surrounding areas. I first found your channel two years ago when you posted the Montezuma's Castle video. I've been following your channel, since then. This video is now one of my top favorites. Beautiful!!! Love those "Kodak" moments!
Beautiful views beautiful trip 👍🏼 Thank you for showing the hummingbirds one of my favorite things about Arizona is there are Hummingbirds year round 💕
Russ! Noticed you have a bug deflector on the front of your van. I have the same van but in the 144 model. How much of a difference did it make for your windshield?
I really enjoyed this video it brought back many memories . I loved seeing Beaver Flats road by cornville paved . When I lived in the Villsge of oak creek it was a dirt road . Back in 2004 . Page Springs had the best steakhouse around . ❤I lived in that area 20 years . How it has changed is sad it’s all for rich people now . They closed the schools my kids went to. Big Park Elementary School. 😢
Surely wish I Can ride with you Russ, i’ll be your Server on board, make you sandwich, coffee, etc, etc😂😂😂… one of these days we might Cross each other
We went there several times in 1980 83, 84 before there was any infrastructure. There's a hole in the top that you could look down through and take a picture from the bottom, which I have one showing me peeping through from the top.
God Bless , United States America , Russ , RVerTV Fans. Can Russ Visit Canada in 2023. Happy Trails - U.S.A. - Russ - RVerTV Fans. Thank you Russ.🤠🤠🤠🤠😎😎😎😎
Sedona is a must stop if near the area. I spent a couple of nights there 4-5 years ago. I want to return before I go belly up. Southern UT is another area I want to visit again.
I was following along on Google maps, you pulled into the parking spot at the tonto natural Bridge. On Google maps I can see your van in the parking lot!

HEY HEY, IT'S RVerTV RUSS, Stay Safe, my Friend . Russ, Appreciate the video today on the Northern Arizona Mountains. TO COOL FOR SCHOOL 👍
in what can sometimes feel a crazy, hectic world, your travelogues are an oasis of calm and wholesomeness. Don't ever stop! 😍
👍 One of your best, Russ, and they are all good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥
When I was a kid, it was privately owned by one family and they let people in there during the daytime. You couldn’t camp there but you could visit.
When I was a kid, we would spend summers at the cabin in Pine Arizona and we used to go to Strawberry Arizona and there was a Mr. Johnson I don’t remember But he had a huge garden that he would let you pick your own vegetables, and they tasted so fresh
So fun! Thanks Russ🎉love Tonto bridge, back in the day, we swam right under the bridge. Wonder why it’s closed off..
down in fl. those plants are called elephant ears. thanks russ

Beauty in nature … what a nice park. Actually both places just stunning. Simple recipe from Mother Nature to look around! Take care!
Great video Russ!
A lot of people think there is nothing to see in Arizona but a bunch of sand and loco weeds.
Clearly they haven't been there or seen a video like this.
Beautiful country for sure! Love it!
Safe travels Man!
Teşekkür ederim.Elinize . Kalbinize sağlık.

I got my "RV there yet" Tee shirt and I love it!
I am going to try to get one more before we travel from the DC area to Wyoming! :)
Oak Creek Canyon, top of my must see list next time I'm in the USA, what a B-E-A-UTIFULL spot.
That’s the old way down you will go down to the bottom and we used to fish trout out of there. They only got about six or 8 inches long but it tasted really good.

Been there a few times. My son has hiked down into the waterfall. He said it’s very slippery, so be careful if you go

Hey Russ another great Vid and timely too for us. We are camping near Cottonwood and drove our motorcycles through Page Springs Wednesday after Memorial day and headed up to Tonto in mid June
That’s what my family had a cabin since the 1950s my parents still go there
Are those not elephant ear plants in the water? What ever it is, this was a very beautiful video
When I was a kid, there was a small hole in the center where the water came out and from the picture it looks like it’s growing a lot bigger. They used to be about 5 feet around Luxor a lot bigger now.
Well done! Enjoyed the video immensely. Visited the area briefly and never knew how much we missed. Will definitely go back. Ron and Janet in Maui
Crystal clear video, nice commentary with a pleasant voice and interesting spots. Just the usual for this channel. That bridge was cool! Thanks for another great video!
Hi Russ, thank you for this experience! As an US expat in Germany I would never be able to do this on my own.
love it such a nice aera.
what beautiful road surfaces, looks like a dream to drive on.
Russ, you will love the airfryer! I made biscuits today in it!
Thanks Russ! Beautiful!
Open your compass on your phone to see the altitude 😊

We stayed at Lolo Mai for a weekend!! Glamping in a cottage.
When it was privately owned, there were pool ladders bolted to the cliff! I carried my nephew up and down those.
Love the soft music
Absolutely enjoyed this ..❤. Thank you so much..... Really a beautiful place to visit.. Stay safe.🙏
Awesome Video 😎
Enjoyed walk around the campground. State parks are the way to go, forget busy National Parks. Thank you Russ for the ride along.
You have the most amazing videos!!
Exceptional journey! Every turn was just beautiful.
Beautiful views beautiful trip 👍🏼 Thank you for showing the hummingbirds one of my favorite things about Arizona is there are Hummingbirds year round 💕
Russ! Noticed you have a bug deflector on the front of your van. I have the same van but in the 144 model. How much of a difference did it make for your windshield?
Used to be (back in the 90's) Sedona's real estate was, on whole, the most expensive real estate in the continental US. Probably still is 😛
Believe Russ ,Oak creek village has the only Mc Donald’s with a Green M sign in the world 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Lol that’s not at all true
@@HashdollarsI only say that .because I was told in this branch by staff .
@@Hashdollars Yes, it is true.
Thank you, especially the beautiful footage scenery and informative history on the location 💯👍 SAFE TRAVELS

Oak Creek is beautiful. Fossil Creek is really interesting to.
Excellent video Russ. Arizona has unbelievable beauty. I'm looking forward to your trip this Summer.
Gorgeous scenery! Thank you for taking us thru this area.
We went there several times in 1980 83, 84 before there was any infrastructure. There's a hole in the top that you could look down through and take a picture from the bottom, which I have one showing me peeping through from the top.
It was nice to see the red rocks near Sedona. I lived in Prescott back in the 80's and used to visit Sedona often.
God Bless , United States America , Russ , RVerTV Fans. Can Russ Visit Canada in 2023. Happy Trails - U.S.A. - Russ - RVerTV Fans. Thank you Russ.🤠🤠🤠🤠😎😎😎😎
Love this video. Planning a trip going through that area. It's almost like I've been there watching out the window and taking the walks. Thanks Russ.
Thanks for the tour, Russ
what do you use for editing?
Sedona is a must stop if near the area. I spent a couple of nights there 4-5 years ago. I want to return before I go belly up. Southern UT is another area I want to visit again.
I was following along on Google maps, you pulled into the parking spot at the tonto natural Bridge. On Google maps I can see your van in the parking lot!
Are you going up to So Dakota again this summer?
Great looking rv park! Love the pictures. Keep up the great work. Happy 4th of july.😊
Great vid, Deb!
What about cell service at the Page RV park? And or functioning wifi? I saw your Starlink out…
Kansas State Fair every year, second week of September, lasts 10 days
It’s worth the hike though how to do it when I was young I can’t do it now but it’s not really handicap accessible
❤❤
