The Best Trails and Camping on Arizona’s Most Underrated Mountain Range

[@kwmoore3464]

It's been close to 40 years since I was at the Geronimo surrender monument. I really like that area of AZ. I had intended to spend time there but it seems that time has slipped away. Now that I finally have a rig that I can explore with, my body is weathered and worn and I spend more time watching videos like this one to appreciate the places that are difficult to go to. I don't want to come across like I'm whining, but life sure has a way of slipping away without noticing. Your videos are great and show me what I should be doing whenever I am able. Thanks for doing what you do. I love the drone shots that you include in your videos.

[@rwadecarter9806]

keep it moving brother. I have the same t-shirt.

[@guadalupematthews9879]

You've shown me the Chiricahuas that I've never seen before. And I love the squeaks, moans and groans that the trucks make as they crawl over and around rocks and berms. Great mountaintop campsites with amazing views, beautiful; so was the sunset. Thank you for yet another great video.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks for watching! The Chiricahuas are wonderful, hard to beat so much diversity

[@cowelk]

Great scenery. You do a fantastic job with your videos. I like your background music, too. I look forward to seeing that area for myself. Thank you for posting.

[@skeeterbug9875]

Thanks!

[@m.t.mobile]

Thanks for the ride-along! Always nice to watch you on the trails! Oh and HI to your big, white, dog!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks for joining the adventure! As always my pleasure!

[@user-naturegirl]

That was a really awesome video, my boyfriend and I live in Sierra Vista (moved here not too long ago) and that's right there in our "backyard" he said we will do that route next weekend because he is off work, thank you. Love your beautiful dog!

[@basebalful]

Way to go Johnny, that's to funny. 😂I think you always makes Cody's trip more amazing. Another awesome video son... Your knowledge and hard work is amazing of how much history you know about our great southwest, you've always been a history buff. I've always loved that mountain range. Spent a few summers up there with my buddy growing up during the summer months at their cabin in Paradise. Flag hill and silver peak were great areas for hunting whitetail. Also loved the Turkey creek area, and the wild apple orchard. Love you. Pa...❤

[@krashnpa]

For NC. Thanks man.

[@Whitedogoverland]

You are awesome, god bless you brother

[@MarinaGarrison-gm6yw]

I love the Chiricahua's, my family has been camping there especially on Easter weekend for more than 60 years. This is my go to area and I love your videos and all of the history that you share. We love watching your channel! Thanks for sharing.

[@Whitedogoverland]

It’s an incredible area! Thank you for the support!

[@holdenc3082]

Another fantastic video. Many thanks. You are my favorite channel by far. Great photography, cool dog, and a nice wife that joins you on occasion. Your channel is the perfect balance when it comes to real world overlanding. Realistic gear that regular folks can afford and not trying to sell me the latest widget I don’t need. You are living life right my friend.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you my man, love hearing that. Trying to keep it real with you people!

[@lorenworthington8739]

Grew up hunting and exploring around Patagonia. Great region. Rugged for sure. So much history you can reach out and touch. Good video.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Absolutely. Such an awesome area.

[@dhu1042476]

Great scenery and history. Enjoyed the sunset and " Don't fall and die ". Big ole smile!

[@JeremyMurray-c1q]

Green cabin in paradise is my families. Gonna have to run into you one of these days. Great video

[@Whitedogoverland]

Oh no way!

[@NorthernEclipseOutdoors]

Such a beautiful landscape. I was born in Utah but now live on the west coast of Canada. I miss that kind of landscape. Everything is so overgrown here, it is beautiful aswell but something about the more open forested areas I like. Those are some great camp spots. One day I will explore Utah and maybe even Arizona at some point. Great video!

[@Jlb-fz7nl]

Excellent photo of the very clear skies ! You could even see the Milky Way !!

[@rwadecarter9806]

Read "Blood and Thunder" by Hampton Sides. good history, fine writing. Thanks again for the video. Rode Harley, did a number of 4X4 trips in the area. Backpacked the Sky Islands. have to get the Vette down that way.... loop around through Tombstone, Bisbee, up the east side of the state. been a few years since I was there last.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Will check that out, appreciate the suggestion for a good read! All the sky islands are loaded with history, seems impossible to uncover it all

[@crazytownbros6936]

Outstanding piece! Maybe my favorite so far. Great music too. Great shots and narrative. Thanks for sharing and making these.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you brother!

[@AM-nw6nf]

Nice to see the truck back in action. Thanks for the great video.

[@MrJpags]

I have a 2019 Tundra SR5 Crewmax 4x4 and discovered your channel, there aren’t many left as most have transitioned over to the 3rd gen. Loving the content as I build my own rig, keep it up 🍻

[@Tony_1200]

Good to see the Tundra going strong. Although, I did cringe a bit as you went through that brush. Nice job on the video as always brother! Love that you keep things authentic.

[@dalekarraker6851]

I frequently watch your channel while on the treadmill on a TV that I don't control, and this sometimes prevents me from giving you a thumbs-up or a comment. But please be assured that I always enjoy your segments - even if I can't comment. This one has been exceptional - I haven't been in the Chiracahuas in decades, but my brothers and I have been trying to do more winter camping in the desert, and your vid has me thinking that's a good spot to start. Keep up the great work!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Man thanks for checking in. Don’t feel bad for no comment or like, just watching it alone is good support and I appreciate it. If you hit the Chiricahuas I would certainly do it before snow fall. Mid spring gets pretty nasty up there!

[@randyhanlon4746]

Been interested in this area for awhile, very unique. Thanks for the birdseye views. You have a good eye for filming. Safe journeys.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you so much for watching. You won’t regret checking this area out!

[@ignoreamos1]

Love the Chiricahua's... every video is getting better... I think you finding your niche and beginning to hit your stride..

[@adadddsssddd]

The drone shots are nuts! I happen to be on these trips and these videos make me feel like I really wasn’t lol. Also badass chainsaw b-roll fool!

[@lynch42o]

aww $hit, the tundy is back. Good to see her. I'll have watch this tomorrow around dinner time.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Yessir!

[@RamCruiserOverland]

I'm new to your videos, but I think I need to go back and watch more. You're putting out quality content that's relatable and has gorgeous scenery. Keep up the great work!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Welcome to the channel and appreciate the comment. I try to keep this content as real to the average man as possible!

[@unchainedq6939]

Great video. Love the history lesson. Don’t have too much travel time in that part of the state. Going to need to change that. Thx.

[@fvhellcat1060]

Planning a trip with my friends next month up there. Dope videos man 👌

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you brother 👊🏼

[@drzero9360]

splendid video WDO! very peaceful. stunning drone footage at 25:30 and at the end of the video. making these videos is a lot of work on top of your normal life and you are doing a great job

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy and I appreciate your kind words!

[@wondo56]

Im local to whestsone. Like you my family has been in Az for over 100 years. I have a filling you would love to sit down with my grandpa about old time history

[@epic_warrior5627]

Nice to see the tundra back on the trail 🙂👍🏾…

[@Webbys_World]

Nice to see the Tundra back out again. I would love to do some of these routes. A little too tight for my raptor though.

[@JustMe-qz3xd]

Hi Cody! Really good videography of some spectacular, remote mountain beauty! Happy to see you back out in your Tundra! I missed the launch of this video, I'm out exploring Idaho... wishing about now I had a lighter 30 MPG SUV for that... the 9500 pound Dodge is getting it done, but it's less than ideal for these long distance road trips, and not exactly what I built it for... but i'm making it work. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do... I think you'd love it here, although I think both our hearts and souls are in Arizona... Still, hard to regret exploring and adventuring more of God's creation... Take care, be safe, and happy Adventures! Bill

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks and hope you’re enjoying the weather up there! Probably unbeatable, one day I’ll head up there. Your right tho, having a small suv is great, but nothing beats the feeling of trekking roads in a big rig!

[@JustMe-qz3xd]

@@Whitedogoverland 37F this morning, high of 60F... so yeah. GREAT weather!!

[@azg3ranch239]

Great video! Normally I do not like long vids, but you kept me locked in seeing some familiar country. I've done a lot of deer hunting in that range. Portal area was one. Great memories. Need to get back in there. See a lot of deer?

[@Whitedogoverland]

Glad to hear that, I normally don’t do long videos because even myself loses interest after so long. Man I saw more deer up that mountain than I have all summer. Bunch of young forked white tail and a couple that might score a 150+. Solid deer hunting out there

[@MonahanOutdoors]

Another awesome video, great job man!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks my man!

[@robertrandall8381]

Love the drone footage music goes with the video

[@peterrichardson4192]

Nice shot of the stars that's something we don't see hear in the UK. terrible flooding at the moment. Great video loved it.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Glad I can bring you the stars! Bummer to hear about the flooding, east coast is under the same conditions

[@joandonnelly7206]

The Yota makes an appearance....wahoo!

[@azcep76]

Tundra action!!!

[@LoriGraceAz]

I live south of Tucson and never embarked off the main road going over the Chiricahuas. But now that we have a capable 4Runner with KO2s, I'm ready to head out on those trails. The solitude of that area is like no other, and I hope to have my ashes scattered by my kids atop the peaks there when I pass.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I too agree to have my ashes spread, not in this range, but one to th east, the dragoons. My families all spread out there so one day I’ll join them also. Thank you for watching, I hope you’re able to get around that area in more depth one day!

[@philipking8426]

Head a little further past Chiricaua entrance and at the curve take the dirt road up into Turkey Creek. It is way better. Several waterfalls.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I’ve been up that way many years ago. Definitely an awesome are

[@albetherechillin]

🐢 Power!!!

[@Whitedogoverland]

You know it!

[@JacksArizonaAdventures]

The Chiricahua's are one of our top favorite places to explore. One feature that I really like about OnX is that it shows you the land boundaries, State land, BLM, etc. That feature can come in very handy at times. 🌵👍

[@Whitedogoverland]

Yessir me too! Having the premium for the private sections is huge

[@XploreAz]

@@Whitedogoverlanddo you use Premium or Elite?

[@Whitedogoverland]

I have the elite due to my partnership with them, but I do prefer it over the base just to have private land information

[@XploreAz]

@@Whitedogoverland thanks. I’ve been on the fence for a while now about trying it out. I’ve used Trails Offroad, but it seems like it could be better than it is, here in Arizona anyways.

[@peterrussell798]

Kudos for cleaning the campsite. Wish more folks would follow the rule of leaving a campsite cleaner than you found it. 👍

[@FreeRangeLemon]

Nice video man, this one was like a small movie. I watched it this morning with my Dad. Too bad you guys kept running into closed gates.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks for watching brother. The gates are pretty typical for this area with all the ranch land

[@vincebraley347]

The rock pillar showing the “capture point”of Cochise is located ????? Thx! Lots of great footage!

[@Whitedogoverland]

It’s in the town of Apache, not the exact site unfortunately!

[@wendywitzig119]

New sub here from Tucson! Which drone do you fly?

[@Whitedogoverland]

Howdy welcome! I have the DJI mavic 3 pro

[@michics100]

Regarding the locked gates and private land in the middle of the NF, I've got the same gripe. I live in the midwest and go into the NF of northern WI and the U.P. of Mich. I run into the same issues. It really irritates me than the gov't has / is selling off these plots of land that then become off limits. I run down many trails that turn out to be gated. Can see that trails continue deep into the forest but cannot access.

[@Whitedogoverland]

It’s such a pain in the ass, such a trivial complaint I have with so much public land out here but heck how can one 1/4 acre parcel restrict traffic, a land locked parcel must have ingress and egress, but not when it’s public land? Can’t help but question that

[@velocity800]

what's johnny's youtube channel?

[@williamkianka]

back in 1989 all those roads were open

[@LongdistanceRider22]

Peppercinis … keep the mosquitos away ! Start 2 weeks before you go camping .

[@albetherechillin]

Anybody... do you guys go premium or elite for onX offroad? Should i go elite?

[@Whitedogoverland]

I got elite… cuz it was free lol. Having the slightly more detailed maps along with private/public is nice but it’s a hefty price on the upgrade!

[@mikeh8498]

[@ThePimpnerd88]

Fuckin’ Johnny, man 😂

[@Whitedogoverland]

Dude always steals the show

[@cardp17]

hey! great content. just happened to find your channel. im in mesa, dying to get back out there. (hit an elk this summer. rebuilding my '98 4runner). if youre ever looking for travel buds, id love to join. hit me up!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Heck definitely! You on instagram by chance? Plan a lot of my runs on there

[@cardp17]

@Whitedogoverland cool! no, i mostly keep away from social media. I'll reach out when the truck is rolling again. til then, I'll just have to enjoy your content! great stuff

[@ferretapocalypse]

I don’t think they are underrated they’re just kind of out of the way from everything. I went there 2 years ago to get some photos of 2 rare birds. The only 2 in North America.

[@CFoxtrot25]

Until OnX quits hiding basic map functions behind its paywall, I'll stick with Gia. 😉

[@XploreAz]

You mean a paid app is using a paywall? 😂

[@oodlesofpoodles6382]

This is the first time I have seen you. I thought you would be a lot nicer to your dog having called your channel white dog. Do you even like this dog? You sure don't speak to it very nice and you don't seem to have any kind of relationship with it. I'm not going to be watching again. It's just too heartbreaking.

[@Whitedogoverland]

It’s okay to think that but this dog is my best friend, goes to work with me every day, spend 90% or ever day and every hour with her. I communicate with her in a very direct way. She understands me very well as her breed requires firmness to the address of commands. If this is your assumption after only one video I plead you to watch more!

[@oodlesofpoodles6382]

@@Whitedogoverland The Great Pyrenees is a breed that exhibits a unique combination of characteristics, including independence, intelligence, and a protective nature. While it is true that they require a certain type of relationship with their owners, the idea that they need a direct or unkind approach is not accurate. Characteristics of the Great Pyrenees Temperament: Great Pyrenees are generally known for their calm, gentle, and affectionate demeanor. They are often described as "gentle giants" who are patient and kind, especially with children and other animals1 4 5 . Their temperament is characterized by loyalty and a strong instinct to protect their family. Independence: This breed was originally developed to guard livestock in mountainous regions, which has contributed to their independent nature. They can be somewhat stubborn and may not respond well to harsh training methods. Instead, they thrive under positive reinforcement techniques that respect their sensitivity3 4 5 . Training Needs: Due to their independent streak, training a Great Pyrenees can be challenging. They benefit from early socialization and consistent, gentle training methods. A relationship based on mutual respect and understanding is crucial for effective training6 7 . Relationship Dynamics While the owner in the video may believe that a direct command style is necessary for this breed, it's essential to recognize that Great Pyrenees respond best to kindness and patience. They are not typically suited for harsh or unkind treatment. Instead, establishing a bond built on trust will yield better results in obedience and behavior management. In conclusion, while the Great Pyrenees does require clear commands due to its independent nature, an unkind or overly direct approach is not conducive to their well-being or effective training. A nurturing relationship will foster better cooperation and companionship with this majestic breed.
