  • We had such a wonderful time visiting Picacho State Recreation Area in California. Such a beautiful place sitting along the Colorado river. We found solitude and wonderful friendship that we will remember always. We hope to return next year. This video is more like a short movie. It is condensed from about 6 hours of raw video clips. We could not fit everything in like the Red Canyon trail that we did right before we left.

      Hi Jeff. Now you know the "secret" place. You just have to take the road less traveled, but once you get there, it is the people that make the place even more special.

      What a perfect timing that you found this video because we just posted the video today 3-25-2023. I (Thavone) narrowed this video down from about 6 hours of video clips. We had the fondest memories at Picacho. We are with you that the road never changes. Have fun at Picacho. Please come back here to tell us about your visit.

      Hello. Thank you so much for subscribing to our channel. We are posting year two of our visit to Picacho Recreation Area on Sunday June 9th, 2024. Yes, we saw three employees and two camp hosts in the month of March when we were there. The campground is less busy in Summer months.

      If you work in Death Valley (respect !!), then you'll know what to do with the heat. We love visiting Death Valley. Getting a flat tire is common going in or leaving Picacho Recreation area. Safe travel.

    Alabama Hills is cool, but overrated. It’s always crowded. Picacho is much better. Secluded, and because it’s a stretch, uncrowded. (I read something that said Picacho is one of California’s least used state parks.)

    • @tdadventures
      @tdadventures  8 місяців тому +1

      It must be because is not easy to get to it. It's so beautiful once you make it there. Even though we got a flat tire leaving Picacho at our 2023 visit. We are going back for more in 2024. Be sure to come back for the video in late Spring. Note !! must only go to Pichaco Recreation Area from Yuma, AZ. It's safest !! The road from other direction is not safe, almost unpassable.

      I'm from San Diego and am familiar with all the approaches to Picacho. Going via Indian Pass is amazing, but you have to have a vehicle that can do it.
