Desert, Mud, and Volcanoes - Arizona BDR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- From Phoenix to Flagstaff there's a huge change in landscape, going from dry desert, through muddy plateaus, to the cinder hills of the San Francisco Peaks. Join me as I make this unplanned overland trip through Arizona via the Arizona Backcountry Discovery Route.

The sublime beauty of the images you share and your sincerity that comes through are why I tune in. Another great job. cheers
Iam building an overlander at the moment and every time you post new content its just inspiring me to get it done.
Thanks, I'm so impressed, and I also like the way you act as ok people.
You have the sickest drone shots on UA-cam bro!! Keep up the great work! #Yotafam
Thank you. I didn't know this back country trail existed. I think I can manage it in my Suboverland. Too bad the reservation land is closed for no good reason...
Great video! I have great memories of that 4 peaks trail. Went with a buddy in my truck and his Subaru Impreza wagon and camped in the middle of the summer, got to the top right at sunset. Good times
Once again, awesome job man! Your aerial views are breathtaking!
The drone shots with the black and red (volcanic) terrain is amazing, looks out of this world 👍
Thanks for the awesome content and feature!
Glad you could join us!
Love those views, you capture the desert so beautifully.
Beautiful footage. I grew up in Phoenix, but was too stupid to stop and take a look around at the beauty! Great stuff man.
Another GREAT video. Keep up the good work, love the content.
your content just keeps getting better and better!
Excellent presentation!! Wow!
Yeah thats a pretty big boy 6:45 Thanks for the great video. Regards from Ody Slim
Like watching Lord of the Rings, on wheels. Superb cinematography and music.
Thanks! One day I’d like to go to New Zealand to film - that would be like Lord of the Rings!
Just don't finger anyone's ring, it has different connotations down under! 😉
Superbly shot video. Amazingly beautiful! I’m riding the AZBDR with a small group this year. 🤙
Thank you great trip.
Great video !! Love the drone and broll !!
wow. the drone work is epic
Lived in sedona for 5yrs. Did a lot of offroad on 2 and 4wheels. But not enough, loved the Video!
Enjoyed this. I swear, we're gonna run into each other on the trail someday. If you remember, I missed you by one day last winter on the run up to Pinal Peak outside of Globe and then missed you by about a month on Section 7 (was there last week). The AZBDR is awesome. Heading up on Thursday to do the final section into Utah. As always, fantastic cinematography. Keep up the good work! See ya soon, lol.
I am going to do this trial this Sunday!
Very nicely done 👍
I always love going up to Francis Peak.
Enjoy all your trips but the views on this one are especially amazing. Not to mention the spider (tarantula?) and snake--thank goodness you spotted them. Some of the roads look so endless from the drone--do you ever wish sometimes you couldn't see how far you have to go?
Thanks you! I can’t really tell on the drone since I fly through a small screen. I can tell when I look at the map and see just how little ground I’ve covered though! There are some times when the trail gets a little long and repetitive, like the rocky/muddy areas before heading down to the Flagstaff area.
Inspiring...Oatmeal and I have not explored very much of AZ
Great video, as usual.
Very nice! Your videography skills get better with every video. I gotta get out there!
I live in AZ and you're traveling my favorite areas. I have to say I'm a bit jealous cuz I have three 4WD's that are broken and it's been awhile. Love the video.
Beautiful video. Lord of the Rings comment below nails it.
great cinematography. Thanks for the video. Could a stock Wrangler Willys do this trail?
For sure! Just have some decent tires for the mud!
@@RevereOverland Thanks
Beautiful scenery good job and thank you, i didn’t want it to end. I can’t wait to retire from the military then travel anywhere in my vehicle. What is your job that allows you to travel so much?
I was a teacher, but now I sell footage and edit videos for people (as well as the whole UA-cam thing)!
@@RevereOverland awesome, welp thank you
How far do you travel per tank and how available is fuel on these trips?
Do you still happen to have the OME suspensions on? How are they holding up?
I do! It’s doing great. I did upgrade the springs to HD to deal with the extra weight, but it’s still on the same shocks I put on 63k miles ago.
@@RevereOverland oh wow, ARB OME is a literal tank of a suspension. 💪
Question, I know you hit mud in areas but are you primarily driving in 2wd or 4 high when driving these roads?
Mostly 4 high. Apparently it helps reduce washboard formation on hill climbs, gives more control on the rough climbs, and saves me having to quickly switch if there’s unexpected mud.
I sure hope those sandwiches were made on some of Grandma Sycamore's finest loaves
Of course!
How many miles does your 4Runner have on it? And I am thinking of getting my first 4Runner.
It’s up to 207k miles now! They’re great vehicles.
Great video!
Do you think most of the AZ BDR can be done in a 2WD? Specifically a Ford E350 Extended Body with decent A/T tires? I won't be doing it in the wet season so besides the mud, possible?
Most of what I’ve done can be done in 2WD except the southern sandy sections and the muddy parts (I assume they dry up!). You’d probably be best off continuing around the main Mogollon Rim to Rt 87 and taking Lake Mary Rd rather than following the AZBDR across the muddy section north. The trail gets tight after passing Long Lake.
@@RevereOverland
Thx, I'll look into it.
The Rim Rd itself (NF 300) is a nice drive for those interested.
If you dare & driving like a mad man... Say goodbye to your rear tires. Some places are very steep & only allow one car at a time around turns. A long wheel bases should have 4wd.
@@juliannichols9358 Thx.
@@juliannichols9358
Forgot to ask which specific sections? Any tips?
I really like to do most of it someday.
do yyou need 4wd to drive this trail?
What table holder is that at 21:25
That's the TrailRax table accessory - bit.ly/3kgifSM
@@RevereOverland I found it already but thanks
OnX vs Gaiagps?
Both? At the moment they’re two different things. OnX is great for finding cool trails, and Gaia is pretty terrible for it. Gaia is much better for route planning and navigation though. I’ll do a full video comparing the two at some point!
@@RevereOverland Great! I'd put a lot more faith in your evaluations of the two mapping tools, than a lot of the other channels!
I'm retired, but if I had to go back to work I'd want your job.

It would be interesting to know why companies are not required to clean up old microwave towers that they built and operated.
Video was cool until ruined by that Fidel Castro look-a-like dude. ;-)
Your friend was annoying
