As a lifelong El Pasoan, I have never been up to those mines. Kiki's is famous for it's enchiladas. I am glad you made it over there. Great video. Since you both like history and trails the Mission Trail might excite you. Missions from hundreds of years ago. I would recommend hiking up Mt. Cristo Rey to the huge statue of Jesus, but there can be bandits there sometimes so make sure its safe. Thanks for the wonderful footage of West Texas. Nowhere like it.

B & Ang - the 6.6 miles through the desert to the Tin Mine, with a fairly good hill at the end, can be strenuous, but the place is really, really neat. A+K missed the even more amazing lower tunnel. I do hope you are able to see this local wonder sometime.

I moved out to West Texas 7 years ago, and never looked back. It took me 50 years to find home. It's magical here. I worked at Lajitas on the border for a while, and the numbers of Texans that came in amazed saying they had lived in Texas their whole lives and didn't even know this was out here was really something. Hopefully I'll be here forever.

I grew up in northern New York I’m the foot holds of the Adirondacks, mostly resenting the area I was from. But after watching your videos over the last year and having two children in the past few, I just want to let you guys know how much you have truly brought me back to my roots of loving nature and instilling that into my kids. I grew up sort of resenting the ‘country’ are I was raised in, but after watching your content over the past year you guys are a huge part in rekindling my love for travel and nature and trying to pass that on to my children. I hope you guys never stop making videos. Your content is by far the best I’ve found on KZbin, and your constant positive outlook and adventurous side of life has truly changed how I am as a man and a father. Forever grateful! Keep up the great work guys!!

Ever so slowly catching up but very excited to watch this Journey to Alaska series. I am sure it is amazing but this was an awesome way to kick things off. Great video of Western Texas and some cool stops. We did this region for vacation back in March/April 2021. I loved Western Texas and can’t wait to get back. Our focal point of the trip were the National Parks, Big Bend still remains one of my favorite, but we did take the time to visit Marfa, Fort Davis, and do the nighttime program at McDonald Observatory (recommended if you get back to the area). Really enjoyed all of it and loved the feel of the area. I wish I had know about the desk. Definitely would have down that. It reminds me of Poet’s Table in the Black Hills. That hike to the tin mines was really neat as well. Again, excellent job on all of it. The filming, the production valves, etc. were all top notch.

Nice video, the unexploded ordinance signs went up in the fall of 2021. The northeast side of the mountains were a firing range for the army 60 to 70 years ago. The shells turn up every now and then, but there has not been an incident in quite some time. It looks like you were hiking the same week as the Puzzler mountain bike race based on the orange flag on the trail. That side of the mountain has some awesome mountain bike trails. On the other side of the mountain is a copper mine that the State Parks will open up every now and then. Fortunately for the outdoor community neither venture was successful.

In December she was diagnosed with a MND( motor neuron disease.) She can barely walk through the house with a walker now. She has ran 13 mini marathons and was full of energy. Life can turn on a dime and I've always known that. We never expect it to turn on us. The disease she has is terminal.

Two suggestions on your trip; as you swing through central AZ consider stopping at Casa Grande ruins (half way between Phoenix and Tucson), and in AK definitely visit Kenai Fjords NP and take one of the commercial boat tours out to Aialik bay (out of Seward). There are a couple of commercial tour operators.

Next time you stop in El Paso try the green and red gorditas at "El Taquito" (1422 Airway Blvd El Paso, TX 79925), the rolled tacos from "The Disctrict" (601 N Piedras St, El Paso, TX 79903), the green chili burger from Papa Eric's (2519 N Piedras St, El Paso, TX 79930), or the nachos from the "Tap" (408 E San Antonio Ave, El Paso, TX 79901 ). They are all very affordable places.

I’ve been looking forward to this video for over a week and am so stoked to get this journey started! Lol on the Fort Davis history. “The food was very poor” Y’all got some courage going in those Tin Mines. Mmm, Kiki’s. Lookin good, homies. Safe Travels! 🚐🏜🤙🏽

Oh oh oh oh! Of the 3 highlights in El Paso, one is in my backyard (I live half a block from Franklin Mountains State Park) and one is one of our favorite restaurants (we LOVE Kiki's!). Very excited to see your hike out to the Tin Mine, although you really missed the best part. The lower tunnel, where it opens to above (the railing where you first went inside) is almost magical, the way the light filters down. I know you'll probably never do that hike again, but if you do - the lower tunnel, via the other entrance IS WORTH IT!. Everything at Kiki's is wonderful, but their chicken mole enchiladas are my absolute favorite Mex food, anywhere in the world. To die for. But I know you had some excellent alternatives - such a good choice! My wife was born in El Paso, and I've been here for 12 years, and we'd never known about the Sugar House. Thanks for pointing us to a new local highlight! Finally - you shared just a brief glimpse of the west side of Transmountain, not too far from the Aztec Cave trailhead. It shows the Elephant on the Mountain. Did you see the elephant? Thanks again!

I definitely am hiking into the mine again! With or without Adam lol! (I say this but I’d probably get scared 😂) We did see the elephant! We actually were in El Paso longer than this video implied and drove that road a bunch. One of the most scenic city roads we have ever been on! Thank you for watching! 😃

Your description of machaca is the first time I have ever heard such a precise description. It is a staple of the people who live in Baja California Sur. Without refrigeration a butchered steer needs to be dried. It makes delicious burritos for anytime of the day.

Our favorite state park is the Davis Mountains State Park! Just a little further down the road is the Madera Canyon trail if you're ever back in the area. It's so different than much of the desert. The fall color out there is also very unexpected and gorgeous! We saw a lot of bright red in Oct 2020, and incredible yellows in late Nov 2021!
