Lake Pleasant, Arizona: Camping and Hiking Guide
This was really a spectacular landscape with amazing rock formations and great views. Arizona is so beautiful 👍👍
@@vedrana0127 Thank you! I’ll be visiting this area again soon to hike in the Pinal Mountains.
Thanks for sharing video Stay connected
Thank you! Parts of those trails can be very steep & rocky, so I hike a lot of those sections.
These desert areas have a special beauty, but the terrain is not easy for running. Some really nice captures 👍👏
I changed up the format for this video & narrated it myself on camera instead of using an off-camera narrator. Which narration type do you prefer?
Glad you show my new home town!
Thank you! I live in Tempe, so its easy to get to Mesa. Lots of things to see & do there.
Beautiful road trip 👍👍
The drive was beautiful with the light rain in the early morning! Thank you for watching!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1
I captured a rare rainy morning in the desert! Thank you for watching!
Awesome capturing and sharing with us. I wish you all the best. Many Greetings from Germany. See you next time again. Like 4 ♥
@@outdoorstours Thank you for watching! I appreciate your positive comments.
With monsoon season in full swing, clouds and storms have been forming quickly. I captured this footage from the eastern part of Tempe Town Lake between Rural/Scottsdale Road and McClintock Drive. The lightning starts a little slow at the beginning of the video, but picks up as the sun sets. Thanks for watching! - Mike
It seems very A.I. Is it just the narrator?
Only the narration is A.I.
@@ArizonaTreks Awesome, Great Work!
@@flyhighaerialvideography9546 thank you!
Another winning video! Love it! I can get there easily. Wish there was a campground up there!
Thank you--this was a beautiful drive!
Watson lake is heavenly beautiful even during the stormy weather. It’s a bit challenging for campers but kayaking among those rocks and boulders is amazing 👏👏
Thank you! It was an amazing experience kayaking between the boulders.
Beautiful video. Amazing views. Enjoyed watching the video. Thanks for sharing. 👍3
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful, Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Congratulations completing such a grueling event. Definitely something to be proud of.
@@josecrespo4102 Thank you! This was a great experience & I would definitely do it again. The organizers are also planning an another version of this event-Coastal Redwoods Trailfest.
amazing . . . well done, thumbs up 👍🙏👏
Thank you!
What a beautiful area, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I'm finding there are lots of beautiful places along the Salt River.
This is such a beautiful area and I can imagine how wonderful it is to refresh yourself in this environment 👍☺️
Thank you! This place is nice area to get a break from Arizona summer heat.
Makes it look very inviting even though it’s triple digits after 9AM!
@@rvlife289 You’re right-it was about 86-88 when I was there at 5:30 am & was heating up quickly!
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. 👍6
@@KhurshidsChannel Thanks for watching & supporting my channel!
Beautiful river view
@@beautifuloneyes Thank you! Look for my next video soon that will feature views from Phon D. Sutton Recreation Area-a short drive from Coon Bluff.
Such a nice and relaxing place. Thanks for sharing.
@@josecrespo4102 Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Even though you didn’t see horses, hope you spent a wonderful day. The river is gorgeous 👍☺️
It was a great day! It was nice being away from the noise of the city for awhile.
That is close to me in Mesa! I’ll have to check it out! Thanks for sharing!
@@rvlife289 I also went to Phon D. Sutton Recreation Area, which is close to Coon Bluff. I’ll be publishing that video soon.
Beautiful video. The views are awesome. I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing. 👍5
@@KhurshidsChannel thank you!
The beautiful lake in this desert environment is a real gem. Thank you for taking us along 👍🥰
@@vedrana0127 You’re welcome! The views here are stunning. I plan to go back another time & kayak Saguaro Lake.
Another Great Video. Thanks
Thank you for watching-I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks again for a great video of my new hometown! Looks like it could use some maintenance. You’re brave to do it in the heat. I’ll wait until October!😅
Thank you! Yes, October would be better to hike this trail, but I made sure I carried plenty of water & got out of the sun before it got too hot.
WoW! That’s Awesome! Absolutely Stunning And Breathtaking! 🤩❤️✨
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Your videos are always fantastic!
Thank you for consistently watching!
Such a beautiful scenery my friend! Absolutely amazing!
Thank you! I've had to start my hikes earlier & earlier because of the summer heat.
A rather steep but beautiful climb up the mountain with a stunning view of the surroundings. The rocks are incredible 👏👏
Thank you! This was one of the hardest hikes I've done so far---very steep. The trail looks like just a bunch of jagged rocks in some places.
Nice trail through the beautiful landscape 👍👏
Thank you!
Very interesting thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Another great video. thanks for sharing.
Thanks again for watching!
Awesome video thanks for posting.
Thank you!
Great video. Thanks
Thank you for watching!
Prove it that they've been here over 200 million years lol. You can't.
This is amazing place. I enjoyed your presentation with lots of interesting information. The view is stunning 👍👏
Thank you!
Does that gate have a lock code
I think it does.
can i bring a tent and camp overnight at desert tortouse? i was told by friend i cant,
Yes, if you reserve a site. I camped with only a tent when I was there. There are some sites, like the one i reserved, that are “Tent Only” walk in sites (it’s a short walk). I think you can also tent camp at the RV sites, but you’ll be charged the RV rate (which is more than the tent only rate.”
Fantastic archaeological site in amazing surroundings. Thanks for the interesting information, it was nice to learn something about this beautiful place and the people who lived there.
Thank you! There are many significant Native American archaeological sites in Arizona that I'll exploring soon and creating videos about. Stay tuned for more...
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍2
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic ride through the amazing landscape. I like your narration. The climbs would be easier to overcome on foot 😀
Thank you! It was a relatively short ride--but great views!
Great content this is why I love youtube. Had no idea about this lake and we are in the area great channel
Thank you! I had a great time camping & hiking at Lake Pleasant & I'm sure you will too!
You make it look easy!
Thank you! Unfortunately, my camera shut off during part of my ride on the Moonlight Trail and I didn't capture some of the tougher parts where I slowed down a lot. At least I made the fast parts look easy!
I’m sure I’d hit a cactus doing that!
At my age, I am no longer for this kind of tough ride, but I would be happy to walk it. Beautiful area bike 🚴
Yes, these trails make for a beautiful hike too and people enjoy horseback riding on them.
👍👍
Thank you!
Very interesting. Can’t do that though. Glad to see how much fun it would be if I was 40 years younger!😜😜
Thanks for watching! The Blevins Trail was the easiest. The Cats Peak Trail was challenging for me at the end of my ride.
