I live in Arizona and the first time up on the falls was in 1976. I’ve been up there dozens of times over the last 40 years. It’s a great hike. The water has got nastier over the years. It’s never been crystal clear but it has gone about 4 shades darker. Notice you can’t carry a firearm up there but there’s no shortage of animals that can kill you. Any hoo, nice video and glad ya all had a good time.
If you keep hiking the trail it eventually ends at the top of Mount Lemmon. It's much easier to hike it in the opposite direction😉. Going there in early spring avoids the heat and offers great pics. Happy Trails 🌄😎
“Anything for the video” - P Jack. He understands the process! That water looked cold but what an awesome trail with all the river crossings. I don’t think I would have jumped in the end though 🥶Cool place and cool video!
Hey Randy, I'm glad you were able to make it out and do this hike! You went on a really good day because I could see the water was flowing really nicely in the falls. It looks like the water was even deeper for your river crossings than it was mine. I know you're taller than I am, and it got up to your upper thigh, and that never happened with me. I'm glad you had a good experience with this hike, and thanks for the great filming and bringing me back to when I did it!
I was just going to ask you how you walked in wet shoes and socks. Then you answered question in the video. Nice job hiking the trail. That area south of Tucson is beautiful and the national park sites fun. We even drove through road washes when we were there last August and because of this some parts of the national parks were closed. Thanks for the cool video. Got bless you all.
I really love these videos of the not so well known places. It just goes to show how there is beauty everywhere! And thank you for letting us see it as you experience it!
Wow!! Great choice! Can't say how many times I've done this hike just to enjoy the falls. I've never seen this trail so full of water! So fortunate for you guys! I would've removed my boots I think. Super cool!!!
You all did Seven Falls proud! This hike is one of our (many) go to local hikes. So happy to see you enjoyed it 😊. Sitting on the rocks enjoying a snack or lunch in the sunshine and by the water really make for a wonderful day hike. Thanks for sharing your time there with everyone. Take care always.
Oh man! You guys are nuts! Love it ! Really nice to see you out west again! I have to add this one! How far( out and back) is this hike? Looking forward to seeing the other clips from this trip!
i love how in AZ some of the Forests are Cactus Forest! great hike and AWEsome Falls! kinda funny i had never heard of these but Roxana said she has seen them on instagram many times, she knew all about it ... nice job getting in the cold water. we were camping here last weekend, waded some but it was just too cold for me to jump in/ hoping it warms up next month.... great time on the trail with you thanks for taking us along
I went there with 6 other airmen. We were stationed at Davis / Monthan. There was no path just deer trails we followed. Camped at the falls for the weekend 1965
Great video and an awesome place to go to! I have a son who lives in Tucson in a house very much like the one you stayed at. Tucson does have really good Mexican restaurants and I always look forward to going to one. However I have not been in that canyon yet, what’s wrong with me? I’m certainly going to plan to go there on my next trip to Tucson.
We hope to get down to the area of AZ. We had a blast in other parts late last year. I haven’t done too many water crossings before. Not something you really expect to do in that area of the states, lol. Surprised to see that many people on the trail. The falls at the end are gorgeous. Wouldn’t get me in that water!
I noticed you all started the hike with a sweater on, so it must have been chilly in the morning and much warmer as the progressed? I always felt Tucson and Phoenix AZ was too hot for me. What of the year were you there? My wife made plans for her and I to visit Jamaica, I m so irritated. I would much rather visit Americas parks like you!
Seeing a raging river rumbling through desert terrain is so amazing! Thanks for sharing and for earning everybody an extra post dinner treat as we all bet you would jump into the riber at some point LOL

Thanks for the personal insights and kind words! Clearly our favorite hike in the beautiful Tucson area!

Would have loved to see a superbloom! Way to go!

Appreciate the words, Eric! And thanks for your excellent video and help along the way! You were spot-on with this recommendation!

Appreciate that, Andrew! Hope the family is doing well!
It looked like you guys a bunch of fun on that hike nice one thanks 👍
Much appreciated! One of my favorites in the southern AZ area!
Wow!! Great choice! Can't say how many times I've done this hike just to enjoy the falls. I've never seen this trail so full of water! So fortunate for you guys! I would've removed my boots I think. Super cool!!!
Thanks, Nancy! Glad you have experienced this gem. Didn't know we caught it at a good time regarding the volume of water!
Thank you Randy, your outdoor videos are always a wonderful treat to watch. God Bless you and your friends... Robin 🙏
Much appreciated, brother!
Stunning landscape! As always America's Park doesn't disappoint. Thank you for taking us on this amazing adventure! I *always* enjoy your videos.
Really appreciate knowing that, Debra!
I’ve been there many times and over at Sabino Canyon as well. They’re both great I walk right through the water love it.

Really appreciate those kind and genuine words, James!
I was there end of April 2022 and didn't get wet feet at all and there was a sandy beach at Seven Falls. What a different hike you experienced.
Yeah, wasn't planning on it, but think we hit this one at just the right time. Have a super weekend!
Oh man! You guys are nuts! Love it ! Really nice to see you out west again! I have to add this one! How far( out and back) is this hike? Looking forward to seeing the other clips from this trip!
This hike was a gem! 8.2 miles out and back.
You are cool. Thanks for the video.
Thanks! :)
Wow what beautiful scenery. The Rocky river is really cool.
Appreciate the comment! Incredible place!
Great video.
We are hiking this today
Hope you had a great time!
I❤this video
Thank you very much! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

This was probably my favorite hike that we did in the Tucson area! Just incredible!
Beautiful 💜
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing with us sharing out full watch sledgehammered that like button
Much appreciated!
Just beautiful! You did it in March, I some day will do it but in probably May. Probably easier water crossings. Thanks!
Thank you! Yes, I believe the water crossing are easier as the warmer months approach and the melting snow in the mountains is less of an issue.
I went there with 6 other airmen. We were stationed at Davis / Monthan. There was no path just deer trails we followed. Camped at the falls for the weekend 1965
Wow, great story! That must have been incredible!
River looks soo relaxing.
Such a beautiful area, Randy!
@@AmericasParks love it!!

Haha! We hit the water levels at a high point in the early Spring. I've heard others later in the year only experience the sandy bottoms.
That was a really pretty hike! I wish more of my friends would come out hiking with me. Would love to see them jump in some cold water 😅
Man, that water was freezing!!!

Appreciate your love for the Parks, lol!! Trust you'll still have a great time in Jamaica! We were there early March - cold at night, warm at mid-day.
We love Arizona and this is a favorite area. Definitely prefer Tucson area to Phoenix, but don't tell anyone--we like less people.. :)
Right on... Tucson is our favorite as well! Have a blessed weekend, brother!
Sounds like some soggy sneakers! Fun
Yeah, but it wasn't too bad with the right socks and warm weather.
Seeing a raging river rumbling through desert terrain is so amazing! Thanks for sharing and for earning everybody an extra post dinner treat as we all bet you would jump into the riber at some point LOL
One more river swim in the upcoming video! Have a blessed week!
Tucson has a crime problem, lots of homes have iron bar protection.
