I was fishing and wading through the Verde River. Multiple horses came into the river, jumping and neighing. I was admiring them and then a Bald Eagle came swooping in behind me and landed in the River. I was immersed in nature. Arizona has beautiful sights.
We've seen them almost every time we go tubing in the summer, and they are definitely a beautiful sight to behold, especially knowing that they are free roaming!! And if you've never tubed down the Salt River, I highly recommend it!! They're open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, you can take the short route or the long route, and it's so relaxing and fun. For my mom's 80th birthday this past June that's what she wanted to do, and we all had a great time, and even at 80, she loved it!!
Beautiful area and I love the horses feeding on the water veggies. I wouldn’t have quested that they would eat out of the river like that. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the vid 😊
@@toyyoda3710 There's no such thing as wild horses in North America or any part of the America's. Those there are feral horses because horses aren't native to the America's.
@@derekgrey3927 Thats right... Hence the quotes around "Wild Horses" ... Nobody would say that about dogs left to fend for themselves even in the best of conditions... To leave a horse or any animal out in the desert is beyond cruel in my mind
That's so cool to see. Every time my wife and I go north towards Payson, we look up the Verde when crossing bridge to see if we see the horses. Never knew that horses submerged there heads under water for foliage. Thanks Jesse
I was literally driving that route yesterday. Lol. Butcher Jones area is sometimes a good spot to find those horses. I was there once when about 5 or 6 of those horses came walking up and started frolicking on the beach. It was cool. Also, that whole area has changed dramatically in just the past 20 years. I remember here in the early 2000's you could literally drive your 4x4 right up next to the river. It wasn't uncommon to be tubing the river and have it lined with trucks and Jeeps parked right on the shore. Especially around the area where the bridge goes over the river. Now it's all blocked off and it's probably a good 50 yards from the new parking lot to the shoreline. Ah...the good ol days.
i.used to catch wild horses caught many from this area we took them places where the herds were interbreeding to give new life to them so could have some diffrent genes to the herds am old now most memories are gon e now but seeing this has brought back some memories of watch ing the colts play been along time passing at least i did some good was a.different world then people werent caught up in what others did orwhat can you do for me and how much will you pay
I used to think the same thing before I actually visited. What an amazing state with 12 k ft peaks, The Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona, The Seguaro Cactus, Ponderosa Pine Forests, Tucson in the high desert with 9 k ft peaks right outside the city, Lake Mead, Lake Powell etc etc!
If it so ugly then why out of Staters come here and don't leave. I remember how Phoenix use too look in 70s and 80s. Plenty of open fields between towns. Now the fields are gone but replaced with concrete and buildings.
@@PandaMoolin It seems to be the people that are ugly judging by the content of the rallies plenty seem to support. "Seem to" being relevant, the source revels in Fake News and toxic attacks & authoritarian rants. Add cult ignorance to the risk factors.
6:54. Didn't know arizona had rivers and trees and stuff. I like. How the red dirt contrast the green vegetation. The silvery blue water just adds to it.
I used to take my jeep with the plate that said "Desert Rat" to the stock shop and load up bales of hay, sweet feed and huge bags of carrots. I would drive out to a certain spot in the desert, unload and sit back and play my wood flute. A huge herd of horses with a gigantic mule would come down off the mesa to eat and visit me, the mule was the leader of the herd, his mouth stood 2 ft. above my head. I did this for many years and then one day a ranger came and told me what I was doing was great, just don't touch the mule. I had never touched any of them. I guess if you touch a wild mule, there are heavy fines. A few years later they blocked of all the ways to get to that section of desert and started installing huge pipe. I never saw my wild herd again. This was thirty some years ago.
Was flying SW of Estrella mountain for MCSO in a small plane, found a heard of about 30 wild horses running on the hills. One of the most incredible things i have had the pleasure of seeing it was stunning. I never new we had wild horses out hear!...
Thank you so much for this video. I'm born and raised in Arizona and didn't know about these falls. I haven't been to Saguaro Lake in over 30 years. This brought back some wonderful memories.❤️✝️🙏
I lived in Las Vegas, Nevada 35 years, from 1970 to 2005, I watched that city grow, when I first moved there everyone knew everyone but it got waaay too big for me. There are too many nut cases there now. I moved back to Michigan. I'm 75 y/o now and my family is all leaving me here by myself, they've all gone to heaven. Guess I'm here for good now and watching all the videos, I've got a couple of drones, a Mavic Mini, the first edition and a Mavic AIR 2S with the fly more package, I took delivery of it January 11, 2022, and haven't flown it yet, think I'll sell it and keep my Mini. If you know anyone who might be looking for a good deal look me up. I've subbed, left a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell, I hope to see more of your videos. Thanks for sharing.
6:29 I can’t believe how quickly they built this dam back then. This is astounding. I can see they’ve since added / updated the spillways flanking the main arch dam. Beautiful work & I LOVE the waterfall on the upper side! 😊
Born and raised in Mesa moved to fountain hills in 78 I've spent more time in these rivers and lakes than i can count, I've seen many wild horses and bald eagles, I've climbed red rock so many times you know the red mountain where the salt river a Verdie river meet, good times back then.
In the mid 70s I worked for the U.S. Forest Service out of the Mesa office, and worked in that area. Saw wild horses frequently. I loved hiking in the desert, and the forests of AZ.
I saw a small group (7-8) of wild horses at the Colorado River, near Gould Wash, south of Ehrenberg. Same horses, two different days. They’re very skittish, and will run away quickly at the sign of a human nearby. One was a blonde mare with a daughter less than a year old that looked like a clone of her mother.
Very interesting facts on the Saguaro cactus, it explains a lot as to why they are protected in AZ! I am not fond of cactus but I can respect it a bit more now! thanks neighbor
I used to live in AZ. Wild horses can be seen on occasion in the Gila river basin (which is almost always dry) on HWY 347 near Maricopa. They feed on grasses that emerge from rain storms (monsoon) usually in autumn and winter.
Great drone shot of wild horses enjoying the river. Seen wild horses in northern Arizona near Lee's Ferry along the shore of the Colorado river before it goes into the canyons of the Grand Canyon. Used to "tube" along this river and brings back good memories. Thank you for sharing.
I don't know why... But I fell like I was there. I live in Brazil, but I had lots os dreams with places that, later, I realized it's St. George, Utah. Watching this video form Bush Higway gave me chills. Different places, same feeling.
Another great sightseeing video. The wild horses were just magnificent. Aren’t you glad you have a drone? I’m glad you have one! I also want to say that I love the music you select for your videos. Thanks again for taking us along.
Sandi!!! thank you! i got pretty lucky on this adventure! love drones! they allow your eyes to see much more in less time! also glad you like the music...i do a lot of digging to make sure the music matches the tone of the video! thanks again!
I've been everywhere in this video. Except for the heat, I love living here. And the ride all the way to four peeks is best done in a truck, very slowly. Good job.
Aaaah that is stunning. We love horses. Had my own a while back but both me daughter and granddaughters daughter have their own horses. But I just love wild force, we also have a couple of herds of wild horses.🐎🐎🐎
Excellent video ! Of course I'm very biased as I'm a very proud 4th generation Arizona native from Chandler. Your videos bring much needed awareness to the interesting and beautiful spots close to the Valley. You hit so many of the lesser known spots that are " known" to us that have lived , worked and played here. Personally speaking, your videos are so spectacular in nature that the Arizona Tourism Authority should get in touch with you as they ( your videos) are that good. Truly impressed ! Keep up the wonderful work that you do. We appreciate you ! Big Time Regards from Chandler !
Thank you so much for those kind words! I would say im a little obsessed with AZ history...cant get enough. its always the small, simple little places that fascinate me the most....thanks again for checking out the video!
Gorgeous shots, Jessie! That is one of my favorite spots to fly as well. I was lucky enough to be there when they did the water release and was able to catch it. Great work!
10 to 14 years ago I kayaked that exact stretch of the river. There were usually horses feeding of the water grass. Go upstream another half mile and you see the old remains of the first water diversion dam. It failed and they built the Roosevelt dam.
When you turned into Arizona Falls I was so involved with the trip you turn almost threw me out of my chair. I might need turn signals on your videos. Great stuff!
Great video! I moved to Missouri 5 years ago after being born in Phoenix and spending 60 years there. I really miss the desert and the Verde River/Saguaro Lake area. Thank you!!
Arizona Falls is a very nice place to be on a hot Phoenix day. I spent this past Father's Day there with my two daughters and 2 grandsons. I have to say it was the coolest place in town. We spent al.ost the whole day in the area. Nice job with the drone shots. 👍👍
I'd heard Phoenix has had quite a stretch of hot days, Looks like a beautiful place to visit if it were not that I'm from Mich and get extremely wilty over 85 degrees.
I’m a New Mexican and I’m sad to say the only time I’ve been to Arizona was work related. It’s a beautiful state for sure. I did manage to see the Grand Canyon while I was there working. Thanks for sharing. Long live the wild horses!!
Born and raised in AZ 60+ years. Yes many people let their horses go "free" along the river and reservations when hay sky rocketed a few years back. Also, it is illegal to feed wild animals and you cannot stop along a highway for non emergencies.
@@chadchavez4965 That maybe the case and those horses likely died. These horses are the descendants from horses that were brought to the new world. That's why there's been wild horses in the SW and many other parts of the country long before the hay price crisis.
@@derekgrey3927 Sadly, many, many of these "wild" horses are indeed just released, domesticated horses that have gone feral. Having worked with BLM/Forest Service adoption programs, most of the captured horses prepared for adoption are not descendants of the original Spanish horses brought to America in the 15-1600's. Thousands of domestic horse have been abandoned due to low horse prices(no more horse slaughter caused horse prices to plummet), excessive horse population, high feed costs, high stable/housing costs and way too many people getting horses for wrong reasons/fads that should never have been allowed to own livestock. For every live 'wild' horse people see, there are 10X as many skeletons in the desert near where they were dumped out to be "free". The drone footage shows typical domesticated type horses(may actually be ranch horses on pasture) and not the true Spanish Mustang type.
Those mtns with the hump are called the Bulldogs. I love their drama. I worked at Saguaro Lake ranch one holiday season in 1978 or 79 and it holds a special place in my heart. I love AZ, and spent a lot of time in the places you filmed, I lived close to AZ falls for 25 years, too.
In the 70s, I worked on wild horse roundups in Arizona and Oregon. We gentle broke them. They are incredibly awesome critters. Wicked smart sure footed and loyal. Natural selection is a thing for sure.
hey thanks man! I will definitely keep them coming! I just got back from out of state...will have some really INCREDIBLE videos coming in the next few weeks! thanks again for checking out the video!
Hi from Cornwall UK. Enjoying your work. I did a quick 2 week trip in March from Phoenix,Sedona,Flagstaff,Grand Canyon,Las Vegas to LA. Could have spent 2 months. And easily skip Vegas and LA. Wish I’d found your videos before the trip.
4:49 You can actually see a quite faded trail with much less greenery surrounded by a family of Cacti off to the left, just next to where the river runs through. I wouldn't be too surprised if some of them those are the same cacti from the 1934 photo, considering Saguaro's live 150-200 years
Yeah, a lot of times, when we went out wheelin' hitting the trails to 4 peaks or the coves starting at Butcher Jones, in the off-season, they'd be hanging out in the parking lot. What I found a lot cooler was up in Bagdad Az you can catch the herds of bighorn. Never seen them in real life, very impressive, creatures.

@@Bossladyone2 it’s worth it especially if you have visiting family very nice sights to see
@@Irish_Hooligan My neighbor and I were actually talking about doing just that. What time of the year did you take the excursion?
It's so awesome to see these horses just living their lives they way they used to !!! Free!
We've seen them almost every time we go tubing in the summer, and they are definitely a beautiful sight to behold, especially knowing that they are free roaming!!

@@derekgrey3927wrong they literally walked off the reservation and also people dumped their horses they couldn't afford
Paddle boarding throughout the summer down the salt river, had numerous horses watching us float by. Otters are around also.

They Look full, healthy, and in good shape. A LDNR success.
They seem to be eating the water weeds! No wonder they can survive where there is no grass!😮
For a minute, I questioned if they were wild, looking at how good of shape they re in…!
Notice how they are foraging IN the river.,. Just like their ancestors, the hippopotamus!

Born and raised in AZ 60+ years. Yes many people let their horses go "free" along the river and reservations when hay sky rocketed a few years back. Also, it is illegal to feed wild animals and you cannot stop along a highway for non emergencies.
@@chadchavez4965 That maybe the case and those horses likely died. These horses are the descendants from horses that were brought to the new world. That's why there's been wild horses in the SW and many other parts of the country long before the hay price crisis.
@@derekgrey3927 Sadly, many, many of these "wild" horses are indeed just released, domesticated horses that have gone feral. Having worked with BLM/Forest Service adoption programs, most of the captured horses prepared for adoption are not descendants of the original Spanish horses brought to America in the 15-1600's. Thousands of domestic horse have been abandoned due to low horse prices(no more horse slaughter caused horse prices to plummet), excessive horse population, high feed costs, high stable/housing costs and way too many people getting horses for wrong reasons/fads that should never have been allowed to own livestock. For every live 'wild' horse people see, there are 10X as many skeletons in the desert near where they were dumped out to be "free". The drone footage shows typical domesticated type horses(may actually be ranch horses on pasture) and not the true Spanish Mustang type.
Second heard of horses , the gray and white 😮 i have never seen a horse with that color pattern.... ever !
Those mtns with the hump are called the Bulldogs. I love their drama. I worked at Saguaro Lake ranch one holiday season in 1978 or 79 and it holds a special place in my heart. I love AZ, and spent a lot of time in the places you filmed, I lived close to AZ falls for 25 years, too.
oh neat....thank you for sharing!
In the 70s, I worked on wild horse roundups in Arizona and Oregon. We gentle broke them. They are incredibly awesome critters. Wicked smart sure footed and loyal. Natural selection is a thing for sure.
Love the drive to Canyon Lake!
it sure is an amazing one!
I love traveling from home, thanks for sharing with us.

You can actually see a quite faded trail with much less greenery surrounded by a family of Cacti off to the left, just next to where the river runs through. I wouldn't be too surprised if some of them those are the same cacti from the 1934 photo, considering Saguaro's live 150-200 years
Yeah, a lot of times, when we went out wheelin' hitting the trails to 4 peaks or the coves starting at Butcher Jones, in the off-season, they'd be hanging out in the parking lot. What I found a lot cooler was up in Bagdad Az you can catch the herds of bighorn. Never seen them in real life, very impressive, creatures.
Awesome. I have captured a lot of wild horse footage in northern Nevada. BTW, horses only drink clean water. That is a good river!
thanks for the info! 👍
I ride up that way all the time. One of my favorite rides is to hit Tortilla Flats for lunch.
How beautiful 🐎💖🐎😍
right! was an amazing experience
Thank you for the beauty .......
Good to see HEP being generated 👍
