good morning i am levy tucson and heading to the chirikawa mountains here in arizona
i'm inside the park and so far it is looking really cool
i have a bunch of hoodoos in front of me it reminds me a little bit of bryce
is that the coloring's very different and i think it's going to be an awesome couple of days here
do
what a fantastic welcoming committee here at camp a couple of deer right here at my campsite
i've already seen a bunch of deer on the drive up here i am at the
bonita canyon campground it is a park campground it's 20 a night to stay here
i only made the reservations a couple of days ago and there's still quite a few empty spaces
it is dry camping there aren't any hookups i was actually going to shoot this scene outside however
the person camped right behind me turned on their generator so it got a little loud i came in into
camper it is quite chilly the lows are going to be in the 20s and the highs only in the 40s
so i will be using my heater tonight for sure and i do plan on doing an awesome hike tomorrow
i did a little bit of recon already and this place looks cool i had never heard of it until
i put a call out to you all for suggestions for my southern road trip and many of you
mentioned this park so here i am and i'm super stoked to be here right now i'm gonna make myself
some hot tea to get warmed up as i mentioned it's pretty chilly some hot tea sounds amazing
so
dinner tonight is just a simple chicken quesadilla because i needed to use the rest of this chicken
and the tortillas i got sidetracked and it got a little toasty but it still looks tasty
that is going to be a wrap on this day i'm nice and cozy and warm
i'm going to do some reading and then crawl up to bed soon there is no
cell service here no wi-fi i'm completely unplugged and that is a good thing good night
good morning and an absolutely stunning morning it is here in the chiricahua mountains
i'm getting ready to head out on a loop hike the echo canyon loop
i heard this is a must do when here in the area really excited it's an absolutely stunning day
i think the high is going to be about 60 degrees it's a little chilly still right
now but i waited till the sun came out so it would warm up just a bit and excited to do this
hike
so
the monument was established in 1924 to protect its extensive hudus and balancing rocks
these are the remains of an immense volcanic eruption
that shook the region about 27 million years ago
so
