Relaxation on the WATER WHEEL FALLS TRAIL | Tonto National Forest | Payson, Arizona

[@susanasalinas4273]

How beautiful. Love the sounds of the water. The scenery is impeccable. Hi Amy n Slim. Thanks for letting me tag along. On to the next adventure.

[@CactusAtlas]

You are so welcome! Thanks for your support. 😊

[@jeremyrobbins8033]

These videos, of off-the-beaten-path locations, I believe are your forte! This vid, the Yavapai campground, Watson Lake and damn, and several others like them, I appreciate the most! The big parks, I enjoy your take on those as well; but to have these little "secret" spots peppered in, really makes your channel special.

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you! That's really helpful to hear. 😄 They are often some of our favorites to do as well.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

That’s a very nice trail 😀 😎

[@CactusAtlas]

It was! Thanks for watching. 👍

[@lzwnn]

What a beautiful and special place on our planet. Thank you!

[@CactusAtlas]

Our pleasure! 😊

Hello glen awesome video thank you for sharing i love in phoenix az

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you! 😄

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

Absolutely breathtaking! So glad you didn't fall off the log with your 📷. I'm a chicken. I would have just waded through the water.

[@CactusAtlas]

It was a lucky thing indeed. Thought for sure there would be wet feet but the boots did a pretty good job! 😊

[@tpseeker3367]

Annddddd we Thank You for taking time out to get the shots that you do. Gonna have to watch this one a few more times

[@CactusAtlas]

Why thank you so much! 😄

[@joywyse6996]

Thank you so much for this beautiful trail Glenn. You are a great hiker to watch.

[@CactusAtlas]

Goodness, thank you! 😄

[@joycemeadows9837]

Just beautiful and stunning! But the frogs crocking made me homesick. Great choice of music. Great video.

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you very much! Where was home with croaking frogs for you?

[@joycemeadows9837]

@@CactusAtlas I grew up in Arizona in the desert but we did a lot of camping and fishing on the Verde River. So basically in the summer we lived there LOL

[@CactusAtlas]

Oh gosh! I see what you mean about homesick then!

[@ervinslens]

Truly beautiful scenery, weather seems to be perfect for hiking. 👌

[@CactusAtlas]

Oh it really was! Absolutely perfection. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😄

[@sueannhawkes]

Thank you so much for all your time and energy you put into all your videos. It's enjoyable to see so many places I've never been to. We try and visit Az once or twice a year...I am from the Northern California Redwood country (and the seashore) and love to travel to deserts and mountains whenever possible. I am very happy to live where I do and have zero urge to move to AZ. People can be so mean to us Californians in your state. I appreciate that your videos are so recent. Some of my favorite other travel KZbinrs recent videos are from last year... Tootles Glen and Amy

[@CactusAtlas]

We keep thinking about a trip to the Redwood area. Just need to find time to pencil that in. And I know what you mean about the California thing. There's so much beautiful country there with no need to make it political. 😞 We're keeping things pretty recent lately only because we ran out of saved up content and are still striving to to stick to our weekly schedule. Those darn jobs so get in the way of a lot of us smaller channels being able to get out there all the time. 😂 Unfortunately dated content happens from time to time, even for us. 😅

[@marshmallows5641]

Stunning place with all the rocks, trees, and flowing water. Beautiful! Great video as always. Thanks for the adventure!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you very much! Always appreciated. 😊

[@joaquinlewis1224]

Another great video! Although I did see a perfect opportunity for a Ron Burgundy cannonball there.😄

[@CactusAtlas]

Ah! Maybe next time! 😂 It would have been nice to kick off the shoes and wade through the water but not quite warm enough up there just yet.

[@KidYuma1880]

This is a couple miles from where I live in Payson. It’s amazing place. You are definitely a dare devil person.

[@candacepeterson8932]

Now, this I Could do!

[@CactusAtlas]

Nice! I hope that you get a chance to go. 😊

[@gstiles7]

Wow that was a beautiful hike! You really need to get a drone to get some great arial shots!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Tell us about it. That's one thing we've wanted to get and incorporate into our videos for a long, long time but never seem to get around to making it a reality. One day we hope! I can't even imagine what that area would look like from above. 😶

[@SwiftyTravels]

This is so beautiful! Ive never heard of this hike! This would be a great excursion for us next time we head down into Phoenix. You captured it beautifully!!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you! It's funny because I remember seeing your recent video on Sitting Bull Falls and wishing to go. I guess this place will have to do for us in the meantime. 😅

[@SwiftyTravels]

@@CactusAtlas anytime there is water like that in the desert it’s so pretty!!!

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

I really want to go hike this but I'm not in shape enough yet...I definitely couldn't handle some of it, but def adding it to my list so one day, I hope I can...thanks for sharing! Looks like I would have a field day with my photo taking!

[@CactusAtlas]

It's a great place for photos or just hanging out. 👍

[@Fordgt409]

Just started watching your channel. Enjoying it very much. I realize I am coming to this video 10 months on but I gotta say I’m surprised you didn’t show you picking up that what looked like an engine oil bottle in the creek where you crossed on the logs?

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you! Welcome aboard! 😊 Maybe 30% of what Glenn films makes it into the video, so not everything is always seen. I try to focus more on editing to show the location and experience. 👍

[@Fordgt409]

​@@CactusAtlas thanks for the reply! It just gets me all the litter in the forests these days.

[@SidetrackAdventures]

Wow, that hike looks amazing. I can just imagine those pools in the summer with everyone trying to beat the heat. Is the waterfall there year round?

[@CactusAtlas]

I believe it is there year round, yes. Summer probably could get busy I'm sure. 😬

[@danstockton8815]

Cool. Road paved coming in?

[@CactusAtlas]

Yup! All paved and a nice parking lot with vault toilets. Pretty easy to get to. 👍
