Thank you so much for featuring these trails in southern Arizona. I spent a lot of time in those mountains in high school. Especially Mt. Lemmon in the summer. In my day, Hutch's Pool was often overrun with teenagers and college kids during the summer months.

Thanks! Still is overrun with people. I've been pleasantly surprised to have the spot to myself several times, but I would only go during the middle of the week off season.

Thank you for the compliment! I stopped caring about subs once I got to about 2500 and realized that it's a game for the influencer types trying to make youtube their job, which I have no interest in. It's better for overall video quality that I don't do any self promotion. Which means I get to make videos my way on my schedule; I hope to have one done in a month or two and have two more after that unfinished.

Thank you for posting your videos. We hike all the time in the desert but don't hike extensively in the mountains around Tucson and we don't camp. You have a great mixture of the trail, the views and commentary on your hikes. Since we aren't able to get into the higher mountain areas, you have allowed us to see the beauty of those areas too. We have seen a small part of the Wilderness of Rocks on the fringes of the area, so it is amazing to see even more of that magical scenery. Have you ever hiked anywhere around the Reef of Rock in the Santa Catalina Mountains? We would love to see that, but we're not able to ourselves.

I'm not sure exactly what the reef of rock is, but maybe I've hiked it and didn't know it. Mostly I hike in the backcountry parts of the catalinas. Recently been exploring off-trail in the wilderness of rock... there's a lot of potential!

Yep! It's a really engaging route; you get to see pretty much all of the biomes of the greater Lemmon area. Bet it's hot & dry AF now though. I'd definitely make this a regular trip in late March - April when the water is good.

I’m not much a techie. So I wanted to ask if you have recommendations for a light weight solar battery charger. Enough to maintain 2 iPhones over a few days?

HI Michael, if all you need is to keep a couple of phones (and maybe headlamps & GPS) alive for around a week on airplane mode - I would suggest something like a Nitecore or Anker power bank with 10,000 mAh capacity. I only bring solar because of the video work, along with a much larger power bank, which is a dual input Anker 26,800 mAh brick. The solar panel I currently use is also Anker, a 15W panel with 2 USB outputs, which works well with the big power brick. But this is much too heavy to justify for the average backpacker - I'd just go with the 10k brick and no solar if I wasn't filming. Hope that helps. Oh and last thing - those integrated solar + power bank things: avoid them, they are little more than a marketing gimmick.

@@WildlandExplorer Thank you much. I was researching some and it does seem like the separate power bank and solar panel are the way to go over the integrated ones. Thank you for your input. I recently discovered your channel and am really enjoying it. We are heading to the Chiricahuas very soon to check out the area you filmed.

I do lug around a couple cameras. People ask me, "why you don't use the trekking poles?" And I go, "because I'm already lugging around a camera on a tripod that I use as a walking stick". And they go, "huh, ok that makes sense". So yeah, exactly like Les Stroud. Thanks for watching!

What a beautiful trip! You do such a great job of making one feel they are right there...the audio is so good I hear the flies buzzing and I swipe at my headphones to shoo them away! The Wilderness of Rocks is exactly like a favorite area of mine in the Aldo Leapold Wilderness: just to the east of the CD Trail from the trailhead off FR 150 , (North Star Road) which is off NM 35 about 10 miles north of Mimbres. Your shots are so similar I thought I was there; hoodoos, balanced rocks and overhangs etc. at about 7,000 feet in the pines. Not to be confused with the "City of Rocks" which is a State Park, close to I 10 near Deming, NM. Thanks so much for sharing your classic backpacking experience!

Thank you! Good feedback about the audio. Lately I'm putting more time into fiddling with audio compression and mic levels in the field to get those background noises in, and switched to an omnidirectional stereo mic. I really like the results. Wilderness of Rocks also kind of reminded me of Chiricahua National Monument; there's a lot of this kind of stuff apparently in the sky islands and high country of the southwest region. Good to know that New Mexico has this sort of stuff as well; I'm going to be spending some more time in that area soon.

@@WildlandExplorer I spent the past few days camping in wilderness of rocks and can confirm Lemmon Creek was flowing. Didn't see the drainage though, but I might not have been looking in the right spot. Either way it's great to be out in the mountains! I'll keep an eye on your channel for more cool spots in the Tucson area 👍
