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...
West Fork Hike
Since Derek’s bike was incapacitated we hiked a different section of the Black River. This time we started out by Big Lake and hiked down to the West Fork and back up. The day started a little chilly but...
Thompson Trail Hike – Greer, Arizona
Fall is a great time in the White Mountains of Arizona! The Alltrails app helped us narrow down our hiking choices and we decided on this Thompson Trail Hike. The drive from our boondocking spot took us out the...

Having gone south on the Arizona Trail on the Kaibab Plateau the other day, north seemed like the obvious choice for another day. This way the trail starts with a gentle climb up through the pine forest and turns...
Arizona Trail Kaibab Plateau North
After our stopover at Navajo National Monument we drove up to the Kaibab National Forest to camp for a couple weeks. I’ve mentioned it before; we normally boondock in each spot for a full two weeks then leave to...
