Hiking Mount Lemmon: Behind The Scenes.
My latest video shows a little bit behind the scenes as I capture my hiking adventures on Mount Lemmon. Plus, there’s plenty of beautiful scenery to enjoy. Here’s a link to all the fun, with plenty of information available in the video description.
Video: Tips for Hiking Mount Lemmon – Aspen and Mint Springs Trails
Here’s a video of my latest hiking adventure. I decided to take a slightly different approach with this video and included tips on how making your hike more awesome when you’re hiking Mount Lemmon. I’d love to hear any feedback you have on this or my other videos.
I have to admit I’m rather proud of this particular piece. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.
Video: Lemmon Rock Lookout Trail.
I went hiking yesterday morning. It was a bit more humid than it’s been in past weeks, but it was still cool at the Summit Trailheads atop Mount Lemmon. This time I hiked down the fairly steep Lemmon Rock Lookout Trail. Next time I’ll take some hiking poles or something to be a little more steady on my feet.
I had a harder time than usual putting this video together. With the political turmoil going on and Earl yelling “breaking news!” from the other room every hour, I had a hard time finding music tracks I thought would fit the vibe I was striving to achieve.
I talk about being positive and doing positive things for the world in my videos. I truly believe that. But sometimes I need to listen to my own press.
I hope you enjoy my latest video.
Video: Hiking Mount Lemmon.
I went on a birthday hike yesterday. Starting at the Summit Trailheads on Mount Lemmon, I explored the Meadow and Mount Lemmon Trails. I also got a little philosophical in this particular video. Enjoy.
“I share what I see so you can see what I share”.
Video: The Wilderness of Rocks Trail.
Here’s my latest hiking video, this time along The Wilderness of Rocks Trail in the Santa Catalina Mountains near Tucson.
I had a couple of “firsts” on this hike, including trying out new hiking boots (which are wonderful) and a man stopped me on the trail and told me I looked familiar. When we talked for a moment, he mentioned he thought he’d seen me on a video about hiking Mount Lemmon. That was awesome.
I think this link works for the boots on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BFMNHW
Hiking Mount Lemmon: Marshall Peak.
Our friend Stephen joined me on this week’s hike. We started out at Marshall Gulch on the south end of Summerhaven and did the Aspen and Marshall Gulch Trails, passing over Marshall Peak along the way. It was a great day for a hike.
Watch.
As you can tell by the posts here on this ancient bloggy thing, I’ve been making a lot of videos lately. I enjoy sharing these videos with folks via YouTube and then subsequently posting these videos through the various social media outlets. I’m not in it to make money; it’s an art endeavor.
Apparently the YouTube algorithm, which makes or breaks influencers on a daily basis, doesn’t like my cavalier, “I’m not going to shock you with my thumbnail” approach. Either that or folks just don’t care for videos of a 55 year old man climbing mountains and popping in and out of frames like Paul Lynde on “Bewitched”. Though, I tend to think of my witchcraft presentations to be more along the lines of Maurice Evans on the series.
I’m having fun and that’s first and foremost on my priority list. I’d really like to make other people smile or at least forget about their worries for some moments with my “art”. If you know someone that’d be interested, feel free to share.
Hiking Mount Lemmon: Aspen Draw-Aspen-Marshall Gulch Trails.
Here’s my latest hiking video! This weekend I hiked up from Summerhaven again. I hiked the Aspen Draw trail again, but then went down the other side of the ridge along the Aspen and Marshall Gulch Trails. This was a fun point-to-point hike as Earl was waiting for me at the Marshall Gulch Picnic Area.
I’m trying to get these videos out there simply because I like sharing my adventures and I hope viewers enjoy the experience as much as I do. If you know someone that may enjoy, please send them to my channel!
Hiking Mount Lemmon: Incinerator Ridge Trail.
Not only is hiking a much needed escape for my mental well-being, making videos about the experience is equally as mentally grounding for me. Here’s a video of yesterday’s hike.
