Overlanding Greer, AZ – River Views, Camp Spots & Quiet Mornings

Greer, Arizona. Apparently it's a great spot for elk hunting, but that's not why we came here. My wife, my two dogs, and myself came out here to find incredible camp spots and explore somewhere new. Good dogs. Good morning guys. We are just outside of Greer, Arizona. It's an early morning. Dogs kept us up all night. I'm excited to drive out of here because we came in at night. I didn't get to see anything. I think we're kind of like doing an overlook and we're going to drive to a creek and hike along the creek and then hopefully find this really cool camp spot that's going to overlook another creek spot. So let's just see what today brings. After a nice lazy morning at camp, we packed up the truck and headed out to check out an overlook that I spotted earlier with the drone. The view, it could be unreal. It sits high above Greer with three lakes stretching out in the distance. It looked like an amazing spot to camp. One of those spots you dream about coming back to. But getting there, that might be a different story. side-by-sides, but we're going to try it. If we can get through here, I think we can make the whole road to the overlook. Let's check it out. So it may not look like much, but it's pretty narrow. We're going to see. Keep coming. Okay, keep that line a little bit to the right. Keep coming. We are pretty dang close to the tree on this side, and then this side, we might just run it over. I'm going to try to kick it out of the way a little bit, but it's a big tree. Okay. I'm watching. There we go. the car. On the drone, you can see the lakes, but where we're parked, we're low enough we can't see, so we're going to hike to another little lookout so we can see all three lakes. What? What do you think, babe? Yeah, that's really cool. The overlook was definitely one of those spots that I could have stayed at all day, just soaking it all in, but we had our minds set on finding a different place. One that, if we were lucky, might overlook a river. Before that though, we wanted to go on a hike and quiet, peaceful, and just what we needed, but now it was time to get on the move and try to track down that river overlook spot that I've had my eye on for a while. So I scoped it out, spent a lot of hours. I didn't think it'd be real because it overlooks a river. Come check it out. Come on, cutie. Babe's filming. She's following. I don't normally get to do this. We got wine. We're celebrating, and we got one of the most... can you see the river? We got a beautiful canyon. Okay, we got the river in the shot. I don't know if you can see it. It doesn't matter. You probably can't even see me right now because Lark's got it. You can't. Wait, don't turn it. Is it red? Filming? Okay, all right, so tell me when I'm in frame, cutie. Okay, so we're gonna redo that shot because the gimbal kind of went everywhere. We got the river, and we got a beautiful spot. There's like cool grass, a little bit of breeze, setting the tone, wine. We got a great night. You excited, cutie? Yeah. Me too. Look at that. We got a good-looking beaver in the river and an overlook, and we got fin. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, you excited? What a spot. Holy moly. All right, let's zoom in because this spot... Guys, look at the river down there. Beavers walking. I know there's so many rocks and sticks, and we're lucky we found this spot. The road was so hidden. Holy moly. Dogs. Can you believe it? Is it a better view here? No. Okay. Glad we found the spot. Babe's not hangry, or you are hangry, but we're gonna eat. Okay, we got camp set up there and beautiful canyon. I don't know what river. Is this Little Colorado or the Black River, maybe? If you can hear it in my voice, the energy, the happiness, it's because places like this are more than just a view. To me, this is the closest thing to heaven on earth. Spots like this leave a mark on me. They honestly change me. It's moments like this that I'm completely present, whether I'm with my family, friends, or just me out there on my own. I truly feel like I was meant to live this life, always searching, always exploring, chasing moments like this. We woke up to another slow, peaceful morning. The kind that you never want to end. Sipping coffee while overlooking one of the coolest river spots in all of Arizona, with not a soul in sight. Yeah, I'll take it. The dogs ran free, and honestly, so did our minds. I hope this video inspires you to get out there and chase your own adventures, to make your dreams happen one trip at a time, or maybe even come out with me sometime, and we'll make an adventure together. Either way, I know how lucky I am to live in moments like this, and I never take it for granted.
