I really, really love just hearing the crunch of your footsteps and the wind in the trees as I see the beautiful scenery. Every hike you put out brings me pleasure and relaxation. Thank you!
Something I've not mentioned before is that I've personally had heat exhaustion, bordering on heat stroke several times in the distant past. Those experiences were formative in teaching myself my personal limits - which as I age, get less and less each year. There is nuance on this topic that is left out of most internet conversations and people get heated (haha get it?) about it. I expect downvotes on this video because of it (who cares). I don't ever want to give the impression that doing this sort of thing is normal - it's very much life or death if you don't know what you're doing in this heat.
I don't know how I missed this last year! Great hike. You sure keep up a brisk pace, even in that heat. I didn't know there was so much in the Eastern part of Saguaro. The monsoon has started early this year in the Gila country. Good to see you out there again.
And this trip almost didn't happen - funny because I was in the Gila Wilderness a couple days before this trip. I bailed bc of wildfire smoke and rumors that the FS were about to shut the wilderness down. If you make it back to Tucson in the cool/wet season - I'd definitely recommend giving the east side of the Rincons a try!
@WildlandExplorer Good vids love that you show AZ love we have alot of crazy mountains do you have any weird or crazy experiences up in the mountains of AZ
Hey bud, I don't want to get too personal on here, but I happen to be a first cousin of yours. Not sure where in Arizona you are, but I happen to have another cousin(on my mother's side) that lives in Tucson and I was there in March of this year! Beautiful place and definitely a lot better than south Louisiana hahaha
I don't hate the cold I just hate driving long distances to backpack, lol. It was later in the day than most people would start - probably like 9 or 10am. Mind you I train in the afternoon heat regularly, use electrolytes, etc. It's not so bad really since you're climbing into higher altitude with shade within a few hours of starting. If it were instead the Superstitions where elev. never goes above 6000' it would have been a very bad idea.
Absolutely amazing nice sound. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak Gilgit-Baltistan Barah Valley. Add this sound in your bucket list. Moses peak is open zone family trek. When you reached here you will explore more un explored peaks heights more then 6k meter

The SNP campsites are very luxurious! :) Love backpacking out there. Cheers from Tucson.
And a great escape from the heat! Really an underrated place. Thanks again!
Great to see another backpacking video! Brave of you to do it in the summer, but thanks for adding the ample warnings that will deter most people.

I camped at Manning a few weeks before you did! Such a cool spot and underrated national park.
Agreed it's underrated! Bigger views up there than folks might imagine.
