Scenic Highway: Strawberry, AZ to Clints Well, AZ
My video actually starts in Pine, AZ, a little southeast of Strawberry. But Strawberry made for a more intriguing title than Pine did. And it was in Pine that I saw the two elk grazing on the shoulder of the highway in the middle of town. That’s how the video starts. This is elk country!
In fact, it is RIM COUNTRY. Referring to the Mogollon Rim, pronounced MO-gee-yon. Named after a governor of old Spanish New Mexico in 1712-1715: Juan Ignacio Flores Mogollon. The Mogollon Rim must be traversed to climb the long, steep escarpment that rises from the Verde Valley to the Colorado Plateau. Note the following elevations:
1,086 feet Phoenix
3,147 Camp Verde in the Verde Valley
5,003 Payson
5,367 Pine
5,800 Strawberry
6,854 Clints Well
and note
6,909 Flagstaff
7,493 Happy Jack
Phoenix is in desert country, hot and dry, gravel and cacti. But Pine, Strawberry, and Clints Well are deep into thick pine forests with stunning rock outcroppings. And when I made my video on March 28, 2024, there was still plenty of snow on the forest floor.
Start my video and enjoy the drive from Pine, AZ to Clints Well, AZ:

Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona, Hwy 89A, Flagstaff to Sedona

Heading south out of Flagstaff, you could take I-17, and it’s a fast way to get to Phoenix. But I recommend you start out by taking Hwy 89A from Flagstaff to Sedona instead and enjoy a wonderful drive through Oak Creek Canyon, meeting up with I-17 less than 10 miles south of Sedona on Hwy 179. It’s admittedly slower than the interstate, but it winds pleasantly through beautiful canyon scenery w...

Who can drive over Wolf Creek Pass and not sing the chorus of C.W. McCall’s famous 1975 spoken-word country tune of the same name? He describes the pass as “37 miles o’ hell - which is up on the Great Divide.” The song describes an out-of-control truck hauling chickens (cluckers) as it hurtles down from the pass summit to crash into the side of a feed store in downtown Pagosa Springs.

    Thank you for the information that mud was used as mortar. Difficult to find that information anywhere on the internet and hard to go there and check when you live in Europe and I forgot when I visited the Anasazi ruins as I was just a kid. It looks superficially like rubble masonry in many European castles, but there real mortar was used making it much more stronger and there was a great difference between the facing of the walls and the inside, whereas it all seems the same.
