Watching from central Florida. Plan to drive out to AZ in January 2021 (if the country hasn't been burned to the ground by then). Such a beautiful state AZ is, as well as other states in that area. Looking forward to this trip, since I just retired 7 days ago. Yay! :)
I moved from Scottsdale, AZ to Lakeside, AZ in 2019 and couldn't be happier. Lakeside has four seasons, clean air, great hiking and nice people. It's also not that expensive compared to Sedona and Flagstaff. It also is quieter with lot's less people than Prescott, Sedona and Flagstaff. Lakeside, AZ is a small rural Arizona gem of a town.
Video is from last year but still very relevant! We purchased a 2nd place in Show Low, great place and lots of trees here, we're at 6400 ft. elevation so stays cooler in summer months and monsoon was very good this year with 17" of rain!
For me I stay in the white mountain Apache Indian reservation and I love the mountains over there for hiking, camping, fishing and hunting also. I love the outdoors for the white mountains its amazing I always love being here when I was young.
Ah finally a video about my hometown of Pinetop-Lakeside! Great footage as usual, keep up the good work and thanks for recognizing the beauty of the white mountains!
Hello from Ventura,Ca..I’ve taken 2 trips to Az during “pandemic “ 1 to Payson & 1 to Prescott Az. USA.Falling in love with your state! And now you are my go to guy for Az videos .
I lived in Payson for a year. Not only are Payson and star valley gorgeous .. buy within a 20 minute drive of Payson there are COUNTLESS secret spots that only locals seem to go to. I know a place down in the Verde that had 10 hidden waterfalls.. one has a 10 ft chute.. a hole in the granite hill top.. that you can climb straight down into.. like going down a manhole in granite.. And you LITERALLY end up in a cave BEHIND a giant 60 ft waterfall. Of you look at the falls from out front you have no idea there is even a cave BEHIND the water.. it's magical...
This is absolutely my favorite place on Earth. While I don't live in the White Mountain anymore, I was born in Show Low and lived in the White Mountains for 10 years, growing up. Thank you for sharing this video; it's amazing footage, and I'll undoubtedly watch it over and over and over and over.
currently living in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, Tucson is my hometown. completed my medical residency in Globe/Miami and Tombstone area. I'm homesick and need to move back. ASAP!!!
The owners of those buildings in Seneca intentionally burned those buildings but that is a different topic. Another great video Jeff - thank you good work Sir!
I’ve been waiting for you to do a video on Show Low! I’ve never been but it was recommended to me by a friend who used to live in AZ. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful. I have heard about the White Mountains, Pine Top in particular, from family in Phoenix who go there to escape the heat and congestion. I see how relaxing and scenic this area is. Thank you for another wonderful tour. Adding it to my list of areas to visit. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan
Hi! Beautiful mountain scenery and charming towns. I went to Showlow last year. I dined at the Buffalo Bills Tavern and Grill. Good food and nice atmosphere there. Loved the drive to there from Payson. Thank you for sharing. Happy travels!
Thanks for sharing! I've gotten to call pinetop-lakeside and rainbow lake my home for almost my entire life and wouldn't change it for anything! Some tips for visitors: 1. Shop and eat local! It's the best you can find and helps out the locals. 2. Don't rush. If you are impatient to the people around you, it's clear that you're a visitor and it's a good way to get people to not like you. 3. Leave it as you found it and take all your trash and belongings. 4. The further from Show Low you go, the less "city amenities" you'll have. 5. There's no "resort" in the typical sense anywhere in the area, but plenty of lovely cabins, hotels, b&B's, and rentals. 6. If a local directs you to "the deuce", it's the main road in downtown show low. Hon-dah is pronounced like the car and is where "the rez" starts.
Spent a ton of time in the White Mountains as a kid and still can't get over just how damaging the Wallow fire was. Still beautiful even after the fire but sad to think I'll be dead and gone long before the area recovers to what I knew as a kid.
My fave place in az is the white mountain apache rez. Native antelope, eagles, elk, beavers, split tail hawks.. everywhere. Beautiful clear lakes teeming with rainbow and apache trout. It's magical there. Like a setting from Lord of the rings.And a heads up... everyone fishes at horseshoe Seneca lake because it's always well stocked.. but right up the road there is a TINY lake called bog pond. And in 1998 I caught a near record trout there. Twice as big as any I ever caught from the big lakes.
Absolutely love coming out to the White Mountains, so beautiful and amazing; stayed in Show Low just last week. Next visit is in April, can't wait, and this time driving out to Greer and Springerville to photograph.
I grew up in Show Low, used to cruise the Deuce on weekends, tube on Porter Mountain and party at Bills Bar (now gone). If you want to see on of the most beautiful views ever go to Alpine, Hannagans Meadow and the Blue Vista.
Thanks for the video. We live in Yuma and are going to explore these areas this summer. I've been fishing the High Sierras, Idaho, and Montana for over 40 years. With the price of fuel its time to explore the north and North eastern parts of Arizona! Looking foreword to it. Thanks again, Karl
From Cincinnati, and another great video showing a different side of what Arizona has to offer, other than sun and heat. Keep up the great job and stay safe and healthy.
As a boy growing up in Phoenix, my parents favorite summer time get-away was Greer. My dad and mom loved the trout fishing. Beautiful place to have a cool and relaxing vacation. I haven't been back to Greer since the early 1960's. I wonder how much is the same, and how much has changed?
Watching from New Mexico. Had land in Seligman but sold that snd bought land in Concho. I have a Windsor Valley view to the north and White Mountains/ Mt. Baldy view to the south.
Great travel vlogs. Honestly, I put these on while I’m working and it really puts me at peace. The atmospheric music you’ve set to the drone and driving shots pair wonderfully. Thank you - from Milwaukee 👊🖖
Excellent video, thank you! Ever been to that big hotel in Eden with the hot springs pool? if you want to see a movie portrayal of a different type of "wildlfe", that apparantly is "out of this world", east of the white mountains, you may want to see the movie "Fire in the Sky".
We are from Western North Carolina and will be spending the month of February again this year. Staying in Scottsdale but bringing the camper so we can spend time in Tucson, bisbee, tombstone and Patagonia. If you have any must see recommendations please let me know.
It does get cold in the month of June! He is telling the truth. How could this be when you are so close to Phoenix! My brother moved from the Odessa/Midland area to Greer/Springerville. He said the weather was 9 months of winter and 3 months of waiting for summer, yet we could drive to Phoenix via Salt River Canyon in a little over 2 hours, amazing.
My grandparents lived in PHX but had a summer home in Pinetop. My sister and I were so sad when my aunts sold it to collect their inheritance, but my husband and I make campground reservations in Show Low and at Big Lake a couple of times a year. We can't afford a "summer home," but we can afford a travel trailer! Love being in Arizona! We often talk about selling our home in Chino Valley and moving to Show Low full-time, but you pay "resort" prices up there, and until I retire, I have to be within commuting distance to GD PHX. Grrr!
I've been following your channel for a short time now. I find it interesting, but I feel it could be so much more if you would take more time exploring & showing the areas you travel through. Why the rush? It seems like just a quick drive through & if we blink we will miss it.
Has anyone else been to this waterfall right off of the 60 outside of globe/Miami. I can't remember the mile marker though. But its a huge waterfall that can be from the freeway
Drove truck delivering windows to all the small ma and pah stores all over Arizona, this was my favorite route except for the UFOs trying to get me at 3 oclock in the morning driving through total dark forest kinda spooky 😂😂😂😂
OK this got to me I researched a little. Mc Nary was the area where the train in the 60s took excursions up the hill. James McNary transferred thousands of Louisiana black folks to Az. and hired Indians on a company store town of timber processing and shipping on his spur to the east west connection. Gramps was rail lawyer nearly half century and the old steam train was the last breath of the dying era . I dont recall the name of the outfit . Apache Excursion Railway maybe or how long it ran but I was a passenger.
There are allot of us attempting to watch your videos but we are not just tourists We are in fact looking for a new home area Please... let us know about necessary facilities in each town... Doctors - Hospitals - Food - Groceries - ETC PLEASE
Watching from central Florida. Plan to drive out to AZ in January 2021 (if the country hasn't been burned to the ground by then). Such a beautiful state AZ is, as well as other states in that area. Looking forward to this trip, since I just retired 7 days ago. Yay! :)
It's interesting how quick the landscape goes from a lower hot desert to high mountain alpine.
Watching from Washington State. I may have to come and give this area of Arizona a look. It is my kind of country. I grew up in Missoula Montana.
I moved from Scottsdale, AZ to Lakeside, AZ in 2019 and couldn't be happier. Lakeside has four seasons, clean air, great hiking and nice people. It's also not that expensive compared to Sedona and Flagstaff. It also is quieter with lot's less people than Prescott, Sedona and Flagstaff. Lakeside, AZ is a small rural Arizona gem of a town.
Does Lakeside get allot of snow... widow alone? Medical? etc.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Love AZ

Thank you I spent six years of my life in Arizona in show low I loved it there
I love this part of Arizona
Watched from Georgia. Thanks
I live in Mesa, love going to Pinetop Lakeside, Greer, and do a lot of camping near Mt. Baldy. Love this beautiful state!
Love Show Low
For me I stay in the white mountain Apache Indian reservation and I love the mountains over there for hiking, camping, fishing and hunting also. I love the outdoors for the white mountains its amazing I always love being here when I was young.
Ah finally a video about my hometown of Pinetop-Lakeside! Great footage as usual, keep up the good work and thanks for recognizing the beauty of the white mountains!
I live in Overgaard. Nice to see you in our area of the White Mountains. We love it here. Like the small town feel.
this area is my favorite place in the whole world
We live here in Pinetop-Lakeside. We love where we live but Greer is a very special place. Good fishing there too.
Hello from Ventura,Ca..I’ve taken 2 trips to Az during “pandemic “ 1 to Payson & 1 to Prescott Az. USA.Falling in love with your state! And now you are my go to guy for Az videos .
you should definitely check out the white mountains. eastern arizona is my favorite place to go, as a local
I'm in Ventura also 😁

Do me a favor Cali, leave your liberal left wing, high tax and high regulations back in cali
@@steveoconnell8113 do everyone a favor and don't pre judge people. It's broad pre judgement like that which is why this country has such division
This is absolutely my favorite place on Earth. While I don't live in the White Mountain anymore, I was born in Show Low and lived in the White Mountains for 10 years, growing up. Thank you for sharing this video; it's amazing footage, and I'll undoubtedly watch it over and over and over and over.
Would you recommend raising children here? Thank you!
currently living in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, Tucson is my hometown. completed my medical residency in Globe/Miami and Tombstone area. I'm homesick and need to move back. ASAP!!!
Oh wow the canyon has a new bridge since I last came thru there...lived in Pinetop and had family in Tucson back in '70's
It's crazy that a guy can drive a couple of hours and go from desert to snow at mt olive I believe. I can't take the heat anymore
Mount Lemon

Thanks for the video, we live in Yuma and are going to explore the white mountain this late July and August. I've been fishing the High Sforeword
The music on your videos is awesome
That music in the back ground is heavenly i love it
We use to climb underneath the old bridge, and underneath the old bridge was a cliff we use to jump off of with visitors taking photos.
Hi! Beautiful mountain scenery and charming towns. I went to Showlow last year. I dined at the Buffalo Bills Tavern and Grill. Good food and nice atmosphere there. Loved the drive to there from Payson. Thank you for sharing. Happy travels!
I'm watching from Kingman Arizona. I could show you some very cool off road trips up here--one even goes to the bottom of the Grand Canyon
I Love me some Arizona!! Love the mountains. Some family lives in Mohave county .
Lived here most of my life, have stories for the whole area! I love it!
Great videos, I'm in Tucson and yes the white mountains are my escape.
Love a great steak at Charlie Clark's and love breakfast over at Darbi's Cafe.
Great video! Looking forward to moving to AZ next year!

Thx very much Jeff, that’s where will be summering come 2021
Just bought a house in lakeside next to rainbow lake. Getting out of Cali when I retire!!!!!!
please dont vote liberal
If you’re bringing your politics, don’t come.
Stay in Cali. We don’t want you.
Well happy retirement. When you get there. !!!
I live in lakeside for 7 years now no work here and it's a great vacation area but I have been coming up here since 92

Watching from Prescott Valley. Just moved here and looking forward to exploring.
Watching from Vernon Arizona
Thank you so much! Great video : )
Awesome video. It was cool to see you included video of my town(Superior).
Thanks for the video. We live in Yuma and are going to explore these areas this summer. I've been fishing the High Sierras, Idaho, and Montana for over 40 years. With the price of fuel its time to explore the north and North eastern parts of Arizona!
Looking foreword to it.
Thanks again,
Karl
Ummm, are you the commy?
GOOD MORNING. WATCHING FROM N.Y. LONG ISLAND..LOOKS BEAUTIFUL UP THERE.
Thanks for this video I've been curious about the white mountain area. Never been.
Mary from Gilbert, AZ been here a while, but still haven't ventured out. I'll get there.
Thanks for making the time. It was great seeing you.
From Cincinnati, and another great video showing a different side of what Arizona has to offer, other than sun and heat. Keep up the great job and stay safe and healthy.
Hi from Michigan! Will be Sierra Vista residents next September 💓💕💗

Washington State …. Coming down in October this year.
Looking forward to seeing it after watching this video.
Watching from New Mexico. Had land in Seligman but sold that snd bought land in Concho. I have a Windsor Valley view to the north and White Mountains/ Mt. Baldy view to the south.
Watching from Haleiwa Hawaii I spent a lot of summers in pine top and show low
In Greer, eat at Edelweiss and there are a few lodging places that are amazing, like the Red Setter Inn. 🤗
Some of the best footage i've seen of my home. Good video, man
Great video - learning so much about Arizona,
Great travel vlogs. Honestly, I put these on while I’m working and it really puts me at peace. The atmospheric music you’ve set to the drone and driving shots pair wonderfully. Thank you - from Milwaukee 👊🖖

Really enjoyed seeing this ! Well done. Would’ve liked seeing more of the ski area tho...
Howdy from Havasu💦 Enjoying your videos😎👍
Beautiful!
We are from Western North Carolina and will be spending the month of February again this year. Staying in Scottsdale but bringing the camper so we can spend time in Tucson, bisbee, tombstone and Patagonia. If you have any must see recommendations please let me know.

Never heard of Greer. Learned about a new city.👍👍
i go camping there every summer we have a spot right next to big lake lookout
Hello. From Fort worth texas. Now living in show low, Arizona. Looking for some fishing spots when it get back warmer.
Phoenix area. I haven't gotten up to the White Mt. area looks like a great idea.
Have you done a video on Young AZ yet?
Just discovered your channel today. Watching from Buckeye (north side next to Surprise)
Good vid watching From Ft Myers fla
I've been following your channel for a short time now. I find it interesting, but I feel it could be so much more if you would take more time exploring & showing the areas you travel through. Why the rush? It seems like just a quick drive through & if we blink we will miss it.
I would like to see a road trip to Green valley, Az
This area of AZ reminds me of Northern Michigan...minus the Mountains!
I love it!
Planning a trip Tuesday to look for rentals for 2023. Any ideas,?
Great video we gotta check this place out!!
Has anyone else been to this waterfall right off of the 60 outside of globe/Miami. I can't remember the mile marker though. But its a huge waterfall that can be from the freeway
Did you ever figure out the mile marker for this waterfall? I wanna see it on my upcoming trip there :)
Great vid, Mobile, Alabama.
Show Low!
❤ROAD TRIP ❤ Sukkot 2023❤
Drove truck delivering windows to all the small ma and pah stores all over Arizona, this was my favorite route except for the UFOs trying to get me at 3 oclock in the morning driving through total dark forest kinda spooky 😂😂😂😂

Considering moving. Does it rain often in Show Low? Can a person survive if they have a rainwater harvest system?
It looks nothing like Lucerne. Its not nearly green enough in Az. Cheers
Clarkdale, AZ
SAN TAN V. Nice job
I've actually lived in both Switzerland, and Pinetop. There is no comparison to Switzerland anywhere in the White Mountains.
I agree. I lived in Switzerland as well, in Geneva. I laughed out loud when he said that. Absolutely no comparison.
White mountains are in NH bro.
There are allot of us attempting to watch your videos but we are not just tourists
We are in fact looking for a new home area
Please... let us know about necessary facilities in each town...
Doctors - Hospitals - Food - Groceries - ETC
PLEASE
Can you boon dock camping on the res
