In this episode we visit the memorial site from the movie, Only the Brave. On June 28, 2013, a fire that was started by a lightening strike took the lives of 19 young men who were fighting to save the small town of Yarnell, Arizona located just north of Phoenix. Only one member of the crew of 20 survived.
For us what started as an idea to take a pleasure hike turned into a 4 hour visit to the memorial and an experience that will stick with us for a long time to come. The Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park is part of the Arizona State Parks system.
As full time RVers we are very fortunate to be able to visit some amazing places across the US and beyond. In all honesty, this one stands very close to the top.
Note: Though we work to make our videos fun and entertaining, there are instances such as this one where we stumble upon the moments to take pause and just let it be exactly what it is. A moment to reflect and to pay respects.
Thank you for watching.
