    I hope someday to make it out there to pay my respects. My Uncle (R.I.P) helped design the memorial. He was a retired architect when the incident happened. Shook him to his core.
    He was most proud of this.

    Thanks for this one. I've thought about going there some day, but it looks a little beyond my current ability. Carrying me along made me feel like I walked it. I happened to be in that area the day the fire started, so this whole tragedy hit a little closer to home.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment 💛 because I do strive to make my videos feel like you’re walking there with me...

      Did you take pics or videos if you were in area for that fire and is there a public area to view them?

    I have lived in Prescott for 35 years. Losing our Hotshots in the Yarnell Fire devastated our whole community.
    If you go to Prescott the Pioneer Cemetery on Iron Springs Rd is where they are buried. Beautiful view and very respectful.
    Community businesses donated everything.

      My friend Bobby visited there. I will visit the next time I am out there. My dad has been living there for a long time is how I became connected to the tragedy. Eternal be their memories.

    Jenni, you did an awesome job depicting the trail and what it meant. The video really captured the reason why this trail was made and the men that fought that fire that took their lives. As a retired volunteer firefighter of 11 years, I know how hard the work is and the time it takes to learn the trade to be able to put yourself on the line when the time comes. You do it because someone has to do it. Thank you for sahring this and I'm glad you made this. I liked it so much I am going to watch it several times.

    Jenni, you snuck up on me again!
    My roommate worked for Cal Fire, and later USFS back in the '80's, as a firefighter, but left because the work was still considered to be "a man's world", and they kept trying to promote her into a desk job, to get her out of the field.
    Another great video!
    😘

    Hi Jenni, sadly I remember this well, I couldn't believe this had happened again. These young men should not have died that day, God be with them. Thank you so much for taking me along I had know idea that this trail had been constructed and this beautiful memorial made to remember this tragic event. Your truly a wonderful young lady and tell your Dad thanks for his service. 👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸

    That was good! This is the first time I've heard of or seen a video about Granite mountain. I loved the circle! I can barely hike anymore an saved money to go to Arizona when I retired 6 years ago. Was thinking about moving there from Indiana. Never made an probably never will but I been watching watching wonderhussy an pin in the atlas and am learning alot about the area. Thanks for taking me along.

      I hiked the alligator juniper they saved a week before...it's on my page somewhere. It's such an intense story.
      Arizona is great! I visit regularly to see my Dad, and try to hike every time I go.

    Having now seen a couple of rattlesnakes, now they'll be easier to spot! Glad you aren't the type to molest them. Fun fact: Most rattlesnake bite victims are young males, Most commonly bitten areas are hands, with a few bites to the face. Posing for photos, I guess!
