Two Trails in Two Days | Exploring Payson & Strawberry

Over a long holiday weekend, we set out to explore a couple different trails in the area surrounding Payson. Firstly, we'll revisit the East Verde River trail -- a mostly easy drive that offers big views as you drive through the landscape. The second trail will be exploring a new area as we venture around the backroads that connect the small towns of Pine and Strawberry at the base of the Mogollon Rim. Along the way, we'll be joined by a few different people -- some familiar faces and a couple of new friends. All in all, it is a fun weekend sharing adventures and trails in an area I haven't been to many times.

Your support is always appreciated, even if it is just watching the videos and commenting! I read every comment, and try to get back to at least most of the recent ones.

So many new camping/overlanding videos recently. Glad to see it! The previously few years have been pretty sparse.

Great video. I Live in Payson & drive those trails often, I love exploring AZ,

Always nice to see your ZJ out there. Mine has been laid-up for 4-years now and your videos give me hope and motivation.

I got to get the heck out of northeast Ohio. I plan to drive my Xterra out west this May and then again next September. Utah and Arizona are my favorite places to go.

This channel makes me want to spend some time exploring AZ. I'm in southern Nevada and most of my AZ wheeling has been around the Flagstaff area.

This was a great video, Scotty! I'm going to check out some of these trails come spring. I've been watching you for years, my man, and I'm going to say it: you're looking trim and looking great! Keep it up!

Good video.

Thanks for showing this beautiful area.

Looks like fun trails. I don't know why I haven't been over there in years. Not since I had ATVs

[@kwmoore3464]

Thanks for the video. I have liked that area since the first time I was there on a road trip on my motorbike. 10 years ago I tried to but a house in the Pine/ Strawberry area but it didn't work out. Now I live in the suckhole state next door to AZ.

Another good video. Just curious come out you mentioned people were picnicking at that first crossing of the East Verde, but was there anything that restricted camping there?

How’s your cousin? I’m watching some old ones you two did

[@coachbiggsremedy9634]

I would love to share a trail with you sometime
