Bear Canyon Lake hike was our last activity in the Mogollon Rim area. It’s fairly remote in that you have to drive in on some gravel roads, park, and hike down to it. There was nobody there on the...
Highline Trail, Payson
Back during our first year of full time rving we stopped for a week in Payson and rode a different section of the Highline Trail. This time we started at the Highway 260 Trailhead and rode west to the...
Woods Canyon Lake Hike
Woods Canyon Lake Hike is a few miles from where we are boondocking for a couple weeks up on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona. We like lakes and figured we’d hike around this one. The lake itself is fairly...
Cabin Loop, Mogollon Rim
Our spot for the next couple weeks is up on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona, east of Payson. We rode here our first year full timing but that was five years ago! The Rim is amazing with pine, fire,...
Scarecrows and Blue Ridge Hike

Show Low Secret Trails

Pinetop Gravel Exloring
It seems like there is an unlimited supply of gravel roads in the White Mountains. Derek went on an exploratory ride from camp one day and found a nice little loop that even incorporated some singletrack. He tends to...
Burro Mountain Ride
Our new two week boondocking spot in Pinteop Lakeside, Arizona is nestled in pine trees with daily turkey spottings. Daytime temps are perfect in the 70’s even though we’re up around 7200′. After a day of chores (laundry, a...
Government Springs Trail
A lot of the hiking in the Greer area all looks the same unless you head up Mt Baldy. This isn’t a bad thing since rivers and forests are pretty interesting to hike in. Our last hike was out...
