Forest Snow Camp - Arizona VanLife

In this video we leave Holbrook, Arizona at the Petrified Forest National Park. We head towards Payson, Arizona. Above Payson is the Mogollan Rim, part of the Apache-Sitgreives National Forest. We find a beautiful camp right on the edge of the rim. We got a nice snow storm overnight which gave us a beautiful day to enjoy. Thank you for being here!
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!
