Wilson Mountain | Hiking Sedona Without the Crowds

[@johnganshow5536]

I didn't know mountain lions hibernate...

[@Wilderness-Will]

It would've been better for me to say "when cubs start becoming more active." Adult mountain lions don't hibernate, and are often even more active in the winter. Most mountain lion kittens are born in the late summer and they're very dependent on their mothers to keep them alive through their first winter, so they stay put and stay inactive. By late winter and early spring, they’ve grown up a bit and start venturing out onto hunts with their mothers. During spring the kittens are, in a way, coming out of their own “hibernation,” and that puts their mothers on higher alert than ever.

I never knew about Sedona being a Hollywood filming location, that totally makes sense how it became so popular. I love that you share a little bit about the places you hike in your videos!! You and Brittany make a great team 🥰

[@justramblinaround]

This video was awesome!! You had so many elements we love. I watch many videos Ron is very busy when he gets gone I show him my favorites and ones I know he will like can't wait to show him yours. The filming and editing was great love how Brittany sorta interviews and ask questions Ron and I do that a lot. Your information on how to react if you see a Mt lion or a bear was good advice and done well. Your facts and information about Sedona and this particular Hike was great. This was entertaining and informative and not boring. Enjoyed your personal touches we actually use to big bigger hikers and marathon runners getting sedative is so bad. Did u ever see the documentary on the Barkley ultra marathon through woods and all night u may like it. It was done so well and is fun to watch inspiring. I lived in Arizona for 5 years and. Can't wait to take Ron we understand on what you said about leaving mountains that's how we felt whenever we left the PNW we love our mountains, woods and the ocean. Colorado is very beautiful as well!! Great video!!! Keep up the fitness and making more videos !!

[@Wilderness-Will]

Thank you so much! Brittany does the editing on these bigger videos and she's an amazing cinematographer. Sedona's a beautiful place, sounds like you must've done some exploring here when you lived in AZ! It looks like you and Ron have some awesome adventures these days; can't wait to see where the road takes you next. Thank you for watching!

[@HikingLikeItsMyJob]

Ha, number 1 rule... don't act like food! This is a gorgeous hike!

[@Wilderness-Will]

The best rule of thumb for any wild predator, haha! Thank you for watching!

[@nikkiii514]

The view at the top is STUNNING 😍 How have I never heard of this hike!?

[@Wilderness-Will]

For being so close to town, Wilson Mtn really seems to fly under a lot of people’s radar. You should check it out sometime. Thank you for watching!

[@brettbarr4811]

Happy birthday Will! My life has a similar story. I grew up in Arizona and had to move to Indiana for a number of years to find work. While there I dreamed every day of returning to the Az mountains. Now I find myself out in the woods every chance I get. Keep up the great videos!

[@Wilderness-Will]

Thank you Brett! I’m glad you’re able to find some wilderness in your own backyard. Ever been up to Indiana Dunes NP? There’s some great hilly hiking up there!

[@brettbarr4811]

@@Wilderness-Will Never made it up there. Most of my hiking there was in Hoosier NF.

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

This was so nice! Beautiful hike! I like the bug trails. "A mountain lion knows it can kill you" The power of confidence 😮 I enjoyed the information, and hearing about how you started hiking 😊

[@Wilderness-Will]

Thank you so much! Sedona really is stunning, and it can be a place for physical and spiritual growth. You’ve just gotta look for the right places!

[@DamsLifestyle]

amazing hike thanks for sharing

[@Wilderness-Will]

It’s definitely one of the coolest in Sedona. Thank you for watching!

[@LousyFIBs]

Happy Birthday! Great video! And might I say, you’re a Font Master.

[@Wilderness-Will]

Thank you so much! This one was a lot of fun to shoot 😄

[@knockonwoods]

I need to hike this one! Thanks for this awesome video!

[@HenryAdams-qx3n]

So peaceful and serene

[@Wilderness-Will]

Sedona certainly is serene. Thank you for watching!

[@tevonkelley3214]

Awesome video Will!!!

[@Wilderness-Will]

Thanks man! Good hearing from ya.

[@250renfe]

Very good video! Nice

[@Wilderness-Will]

Gracies per mirar-ho!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Liked the information you shared about mountain lions and what to do. Beautiful area to hike in.

[@Wilderness-Will]

I’ve never had a close encounter with one on a hike but it’s always a good idea to be prepared. Thank you for watching!

[@JenniferandBrianKelly]

So awesome! Can’t wait to check this hike out the next time we’re in Sedona🤠

[@AaronWallace490]

Happy birthday, Will! I agree, Sedona's a great place to explore. You just have to look for ways off the beaten path a little more when you're out there.

[@Wilderness-Will]

You’re absolutely right about that. Thank you for watching!

[@terrific-bats]

awesome video work ! big like

[@Wilderness-Will]

It was fun making this one! Big thanks 😄

[@7thcatalyst528]

I wonder: which hike is your favorite”favorite”, most challenging, and a hike you look forward to most?

[@Wilderness-Will]

Those are great questions! My favorite hike of all has to be Mount Baldy near Pinetop, AZ- it feels more like Montana than Arizona. The toughest day hike I’ve ever down was a “thru hike” of the McDowell Mountains; about 16 miles and about 4,000 ft. elevation gain.

Sideways pockets are a whole mood.
