Backpacking to one of Arizona's most beautiful waterfalls is awesome (if you can stand the spiders)

    Who knew how many amazing places are in Arizona! Minus the spiders. Awesome video!

      Luckily there wasn’t a lot of trash, but it’s disappointing to see people leaving stuff down there. It’s also just strange that someone would abandon what looked like their entire camp. Makes you wonder what happened.

    Your videos are just so much fun! What a great group! And yes, the Falls are one of the most beautiful places in our state! We’re planning in going so I can show the boys where Wilber Canyon drops in. Prolly right after Halloween. As always, thanks for Sharing and Happy Hiking!

      Sounds a bit chilly! But maybe the spiders will leave you alone. It was a good Halloween hike, though 😆 Hillary and Heather were supposed to be there but had to cancel - they missed out on the spider infestation

      @@wildpathsaz Which one is the critter lover? Is that Heather? She would have been in her element with the spiders! Did you see any ringtail cats? We almost always see them down around the fall! Where to next, it’s supposed to finally be cooling off? Again, thanks for sharing !

      Well Heather apparently loves crawdads, but it’s April who picks up tarantulas, caterpillars, grasshoppers, and ladybugs and puts them on her face

    Hello wild paths! We wrote to you last video in regards to my 12 year old daughter. We went to teddy bear rock, south mountain park. We rappeled and map read. I got an entire day with my daughter... so, thanks. She loved it. She ask's.. does your channel have any merchandise to buy? Thank you so very much. Thank you

      So happy to hear! Hope she enjoyed her new gear and that you have many more adventures together to come. Unfortunately we don’t have a store yet, but we have been working on some ideas. We do have a sticker, so if you send your mailing address to wildpathsaz@gmail.com we will send her one for free 😁

    I should be working haha but your videos keep coming up and is a great excuse to procrastinate. I was at clear creek around same time you all were. I bought one of those rods but still haven't tried it... maybe I'm glad I haven't haha And they often lengthen trails on me on the way out too.

      @@wildpathsaz the one by clear Creek campground isn't too bad. Then the one I took up cedar flats was good too. Either a car could handle. However when I shot off cedar flats on another road there were large rocks. Would have been handy to have somebody watch while I drove.

      ​@@wildpathsaz Unfortunately, we didn’t because we started a bit late. We made a strategic decision to stay at the Barebeshop Spring, which was also great. However, the humidity was crazy-around 74%-and the lowest temperature was 40°C~ My friend’s chair even froze overnight, hahaha! But we did have lunch at the campsite you recommended, and the view was fantastic!​🤩

      @@SuperMeiMei Barbershop Spring is so beautiful! Great choice, and I'm glad you got to enjoy lunch on the rim. When we hiked Drew Trail recently, we noticed a number of drive-in campsites at the top of the trail that had some really awesome views. Two guys had hammocks set up right on the precipice, and it looked amazing! So - since you're a backpacker, I'll let you know we're backpacking Thunder River in the Grand Canyon next week. Have you done any backpacking there? Excited and a tiny bit nervous because I heard it's pretty intense, but I also heard it's one of the best. I have a couple other trails there I hope to do in the coming year. So many trails, so little time...
