    Hey Russ. You missed the best vantage point of this vid right before 25:14. There was a scenic viewpoint on your right coming out of the switchbacks where you could have seen THOUSANDS of feet down the valley including the road you just traversed. It is a must stop your next time through.

    Well, shoot, Russ, a few steps more and you would have seen the best part of Slide Rock. There's a section of the creek where the water has worn a smooth chute right down the middle. It's a cold, wet ride of nature provided fun. We would sit at the top, ride the chute, then run back up to the beginning and do it again, over and over all day long. Most times we had the place all to ourselves. That should tell you how long ago that was.
    Beautiful video. Have just discovered your channel and am going to spend this Black Friday watching many more.
    Thanks!

    Enjoyed this video, just like all the others. When you went to Slide Rock, it reminded me of visiting my Aunts, in August of the year, in Asheville, N.C. Somewhere, around the Asheville area, is a place called ( Sliding Rock), where you can Slide down the Rock, into a pool of water. In August, water was extremely COLFD. My 10 year old daughter loved it. Dad ( me ) at about 49, at the time, couldn't hang. I don't believe that now, at 72, I definitely don't want to brave, that super cold water, even in hot months.

    Hi Russ. I'm finding your videos wonderfully enjoyable. As I mentioned in the previous video, I was in Sedona heading north in 1993, 27 years ago. I was looking for a motel to stay in at Sedona but everything was booked out or too expensive. So I continued up to Flagstaff. This video of yours is very enjoyable to watch as it was late evening when I drove up through this canyon. That means I missed all the spectacular sights on this drive. Thank you so much for doing this video. It's greatly appreciated.

    I love this area, I've hiked up that creek under that bridge in 2012. Previously took advantage of the cool water in Slide Rock State Park, busy but great fun during holidays in 1994. The route North on 89a up the canyon is beautiful and dramatic. Flagstaff elevation is 7000 ft ! Oldtimer Englishman from Shropshire reminiscing.

    Heading there is 2 1/2 weeks. Doing an 11 day, Telluride, Ouray, Silverton, Durango, Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Scottsdale trip. Flying into Montrose and out of Sky Harbor. You look at that beautiful golden yellow tree and the rest of the scenery and you know that God is quite the artist.

    Wow, what a beautiful road! Thanks so much, Russ! I've never seen anywhere in AZ so green! It's almost like the northern part of California, except with cheaper gas.
    Hey, you know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see that road with a layer of snow on it. Maybe you can't do that, but think how beautiful it'd be! AND some drone footage. That would be cool! (I mean, it'd be FREEZING! But cool also.)

    I'm pretty sure I drove back to Flagstaff from Sedona on 89 cuz that was the only choice. How come I did not see the state park and all those goodies that you put up here? I do remember though stopping by a tribal market and seeing lots of caves/ruins on the other side of the canyon wall.

    Russ, wanted to let you know that we enjoy watching RVerTV and your travels. But (and there always seems to be a but), when you are driving the picture seems to be blurry. It is that way both on the TV and I checked using the LAPTOP. That said, when you were at the Orchard walking around using a different camera, things were crystal clear.

    Did I hear you say you didn't know the name of the river down at the bottom of the canyon. The bottom of Oak Creek Canyon? It's the same one that runs through the Village of Oak Creek. I know it's been a long season and I loved your virtual vacation 2020, but maybe it's time for a little R&R.
