- If you love off-roading, #adventures, and history, this is the video for you. We had two amazing days #overlanding and #exploring the #arizona #backcountry. This hidden gem is Agua Fria National Monument. Composed of over 71,000 acres, the views are spectacular with open grassland and rocky hills, and the numerous trails just waiting to be explored.

I highly recommend visiting this area in the early fall before the rain hits and the temps are down/snakes are gone. That's the perfect time. Once it rains the whole area turns into a mud hole. There's a site you guys missed that's INCREDIBLE. You can see the highway from the site, but it takes about a 5 mile off road trail in sketchy mud runs to get to it. We made it but had to do some high speed runs through the mud to get through it. Do some more exploring in the area in areas the "masses" don't visit by BLM maps and you'll be rewarded with some incredible native sites.
Oh man, wish we hadn’t missed that site. It was incredible and the weather held out for us. We are all so glad that we did this trip, the are was so beautiful and rich with history. We will definitely have to return to catch the sites we missed. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment.
@@OpenRoad4Two Such a cool area. Can't go wrong. I hope to visit again some day. See ya on the next video.
As a geologist, I have been to just about every place you've been and travelled every related jeep trail. You're my kind of people, yet I can't understand why you don't have 100,000+ subscribers. Your adventures are well edited, narrated and well paced. You produce a smoother, more interesting and engaging video of roughing it than a lot of other people out there that have more followers. I don't understand why the algorithms keep you from the forefront but I am glad I found you! Every new adventure of yours takes me back years to earlier in my career before 4x4s became common. Back then, you could die on the trail because no one would come along for days if you broke down. Keep exploring and please keep posting for those of us that are close to winding in the winch for the last time!
Thank you so much for your comments and support. We have been so thankful to experience the places we have and create some amazing memories to share. We always say that when we have grandkids they will have a video diary of their grandparent's incredible adventures. You and the explorers before us have some fascinating tales from the trail and they are what inspire us, so Thank you!
What a awesome place to explore! I love the historical aspect of this adventure. And you just had beautiful views throughout the trails. Thanks for taking us along!
We love those drama skies! We felt like archeologists on this adventure, channeling our inner Indiana Jones. Thank you for coming along with us.
wow that's some adventure...
We really enjoyed this area. With good friends and some great trails, it was a fun adventure.
What a great video. Area looks so pretty with the historical treat. I love the ATO Habitiat on your Tacoma. Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
It was such a fun expedition with our friends. Lots of beautiful scenery on the trails and we all love history. We are really enjoying the AT Overland Habitat, paired with the Tacoma, it gives us the space we were looking for. Thanks for coming along and happy adventures.
What an adventure! It’s great to see Milin drive. Way to go girl!
Proud of her! It was fun seeing her nail the obstacles with a smile on her face.
You go girl👍
Love the video guys looks like you got a good group of friends that love it as much as you do. So cool you find history out there in what seems like no where. The home still standing over time is amazing.
We have been blessed. Very thankful for the friends we have made and that we can share these experiences together. Thank you for watching.
I want to see a walk-around of that firebird and his set up. For sure one of a kind 👍👌
It is an amazing rig! We should definitely get this one on our Adventure Rig series!
This is my first video of you, so I subscribed and hit the notification bell cause I liked what I saw. 😁
Another excellent adventure!! Randy it is nice to see Milin in the driver seat. The landscape was amazing! Hey Milin can you put that hat on your website? I really like that color. Can't wait for your next adventure!
Hey Steve!!! Thank you. I (Milin) had a blast! The area is absolutely beautiful and had some fun trails. Camo Hat?
I dig the firebird and scout trailer
It is pretty unique and handled awesome. The trailer is actually a custom Smittybuilt trailer he fabricated and built out!
Looks like a good time. What a good lookin co-pilot 😂.
🤣🤣
Don’t sleep on Agua Fria! Amazing area
Incredible!!!
Loved the video liked the history and glad I am not the only one that spotted the 4x4 firebird please do a walk through
Thanks for watching. It’s getting a lot of attention. Stay tuned.
So good video! I like this verry much much… this mud road, amazing.. thanks for share.. and music is just what this video need! Greetings ❤️❤️❤️☺️

Love the calm way your videos are presented. Nice change from some other channels.
Thank you very much.
Amazing views! Great driving sis! Great camera work brother brother! I am excited to one day tag along 😊
We think you will enjoy it!!!
That is a cool place to visit, I went there last year.
It really is. We didn’t know much about it before, so glad we had the opportunity to explore this area.
Have you been to Sheep Bridge off Blood Basin Road?
Awesome trip
Agua Fria = Cold water. Looks like a great trip and nice location for exploring. Might need to check it out in the future. Mud is fun to 4 wheel. Glad you guys made it out okay.
A beautiful area for exploring JS Overland! The rain the previous week left us plenty of mud to have fun in. 👊🏼
AMIGOS … New Sub here. Cool video. We are Overlanders from Minnesota.
Minnesota!! That is awesome. We can’t wait to check out more of the Midwest and east coast. Sub back friends!!! 🤙🏼
Really nice video...
Thank you. We had such a great time exploring this area.
Great video, my family will love it too. 🇺🇸❤️
Thank you, it is a great area for exploring. Glad you enjoyed it.
You got it right from the start! I'm glad i found your channel. fruitful. Your Stat can see you are performer! Splendid! Keep on dancing! Don't forget ya!
Thank you so much!
I really like that Firebird! I'd like to know more about it. About how it was built and what running gear it has. This is a nice video that shows a lot of beautiful country. I live in Arizona and my current 4X4 is a 2018 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium. It's very capable off road and a pleasure to drive on the road and on the highway.
We agree, the Firebird needs to be featured and appreciated for its uniqueness. It is quite a build. Arizona is one of our favorite places for exploring. We used to have a 4Runner and 💯 agree!
Love from nepall✌️😍
Thank you, Jay!
Awesome video guys, this looks like an epic trip!!
Thank you, we appreciate your support. This area was so beautiful and we had such an incredible time with our friends. Hope you have the opportunity to check it out. 👊🏼
Tooth suggestion, drop it off at ASU archaeology department and have them examine it and provide you with the history of the location and age of the tooth. This will provide you with greater insight as to the locations historical significance. Keep in mind Spanish conquistadors explored areas of Arizona trading for gold. There’s also the possibility the tooth is newer and what remains of a lost family member who was dismembered by local wildlife or even a sacred ancient tribal burial site of which there are many in Az…
Great suggestion. Thank you, Starr Worthy.
Hope y'all are good! Miss the vids!!
We miss being out there too and sharing our adventures. Our priorities have been focused on caring for an aging parent. Stay safe out there and happy adventures.
I’m trying to find this place now. Lol 19 min away gps says
It is a hidden gem, enjoy and be safe out there.
Put tape over your locks on your rig in case mud gets stuck in it
Bad idea to drive at night - its the only time that we got a flat tire off-road
We don’t do much night wheeling, however glad that we all had lights to light up the trail. However, when we got to camp picked up a lot of nails near the area.
Elk tooth
Human tooth? It looks new? I dunno......don't wanna know 😮😮
It was a pretty strange find!
Ok was that a Chevy Camaro setup?
How’s the Habitat so far
This thing was made for adventure. We just finished our DIY interior buildout and love it.
@@OpenRoad4Two Thanks I’m Sold
