Arizona Day Trip to Mogollon Rim From Phoenix
This is an Arizona day trip from Phoenix to the Mogollon Rim in Northern Arizona. The Mogollon Rim is north of Payson in the Tonto National Forest. Up there you will discover thick forest and wildlife. Many lakes for fishing and kayaking. Many people like to go camping on the Mogollon Rim as there are many campgrounds. The Tonto National Forest was closed at this time due to fire danger. In my opinion some of the best camping spots in Arizona are on the Mogollon Rim.

Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

Canyon Point Campground is My Family's favorite place to camp. We've been going there for over 15yrs.
Thanks brother, great video!!
@ 10:27 I am so glad you pointed out that "There's a Duck". who'da thunk it? lol
THANK,YOU, FOR THE TOURS ITS AWESOME .
Thanks for the ride Jeff! Fantastic views.
Being out there is like having no worries! 👍👍
Really beautiful place
From Philippines moving to AZ in 2021 this is a good video
Thank you. Hoping to head that way myself.
The reason the Forest is closed is because of High Fire Danger. People from Phoenix come up here to get out if the heat. I get that. What I don't understand is why they leave their trash everywhere and apparently have not learned how to properly extinguishe their camp fires. We don't need any more human caused fires!!!

Seems like every year it gets worse and worse with the attitude "your rules don`t apply to us as we are from the valley" mentality.
Really like all your driving videos. Thanks Jeff.🌵
Yeah man..I lived in Arizona for 7 years and I been pretty much everywhere, Payson is great and underrated
I want to be there! Were roasting in 117 degree heat in phoenix today.
One of your best ever !

Nope. We have it all. Cold, hot, snow, desert, lakes. We even almost have a beach if you drive to Rocky Point, Mexico
Your sunglasses are beautiful 😎
We go to Payson for the day to play in the snow.
I was out at Saguaro Lake in June...social distancing....most people didn't want to, that might be part of the problem......no virus here. I was there just before the fires.
When my mother died in 1996, her wish was to have her ashes scattered on the Mogollon Rim.
Tonto is closed due to high fire 🔥 hazard , not COVID.

Fire,Fire, Fire was the reason it was closed after Bush Fire, Messed up my fishing this summer.
How about a road trip video up the Beeline? I took three U-Hauls & a car that way, but I couldn't enjoy the view, just trying to "keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down." Payson was still 85 miles from (now) home, and I just wanted to get there. BTW, today it was a frigid 99F @ 5700 feet. You'd freeze up here! LOL (You really would in January).

Oh yeah that’s the place to be during Phoenix heat waves
They closed the forest because of fire danger not COVID. The only COVID tie in is the lack of fire fighters, but that was not the reason for closing.
i live in payson and they closed the forest because of the fire hazard not covid...no fireworks for us this year
"StreetGraves" "Seatgroves" probably Sitgreaves
The forest will be closed until we get enough monsoons to soak the forest. Fire danger is high right now
You ever go camping in AZ in the winter ?
Beautiful state cant wait to move there
Did you guys get a glimpse of the Mogollon monster

You gotta keep these videos on the down low. There are already too many people on the Rim during the weekends.

He won't keep it on the down low. He's selling out anything left intact of the state to Pide Piper undesirables to AZ so he can put a couple of bucks in he and his brother's pockets. That's what this channel is all about. Its really too bad.

Closed due to fire risk, not Covid. I took same path you did 2 weeks ago. Tonto was closed then. Rangers at Mogollon Rim Visitors Center said they even had Oregon Hotshots staying in Tonto to assist.
What is your opinion on places to move to in this area? Looks great and not so hot?

LOL, fresh air is the best thing to kill a virus! Must be why the lunatics close Tonto. Too healthy.
They do not want people in the forest or camping because of the fire danger during summer not Covad19
Wayyyyyyy to much trees!
Go camping
