  • I visit the Chiricahua National Monument in southeast Arizona. I visit the Faraway Ranch and then hike the Echo Canyon Loop trail.
    I'm camped at my friend Kristofer's homestead in Willcox, AZ. Check out his channel at / kristofertravels
    Chiricahua National Monument is referred to as a "Wonderland of Rocks" and you can quickly see why. The amazing rock formations began 27 million years ago with a huge volcanic eruption just to the south. After hardening, the effects of erosion took over and resulted in the amazing pinnacles and strange formations seen today.

    I love your videos, Bex! KOKO!
    I live in SoCal, and we have windstorms called “the Santa Ana Winds.”
    I, for one, love the wind!
    SoCal is almost endless sunshine, and I long for rain!
    God bless you, dearly beloved Bex!

    So I watched your video on my TV and can't comment from there so I am writing to you on my phone. Thank you so much for your wonderful filming, it really felt like we were there w you. What a spectacular place, the balancing rocks oh my, what an awesome view! Thanks for bringing us somewhere where we wouldn't normally travel to. Hubby has arthritic knees so hiking is not likely. I love your sense of humor, you are too funny. You always make me laugh and for that I thank you. Love how you climbed into the rock, you are so adventurous. Love all your videos Bex, you really have a talent for telling a story with your filming. God bless 😘

Those rocks are called hoo doos super crazy .There’s a nice campground there with showers . I was down in Bisbee this weekend cool town . I went in the Copper Queen tour 13.00 dollars . The guide told us there’s 2,000 miles of tunnels ???? How is that possible ? You should go there lots to see close to where you are . And the coolest thing we had a ghost encounter at the Copper queen hotel which is a haunted hotel . Happy trails ! Cathy O

    I've been watching these videos since the beginning. Mr. Peedy was the best! I must say though the quality of the videos has declined over the years. There once was a time where, after watching the video you knew most everything about the area. This is an example of the decline. Who settled there? Were they ranchers? How long did they live there? Near the end of the video, I was confused if the far mountain was Chochise or Geronimo. Finally, after many unsatisfying videos I unsubscribed. I found this video and gave it a look. Yet another unsatisfying episode.
