Join me on an extraordinary journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Northern Arizona's mountains. Starting from the tranquil Page Springs RV Park near Sedona, this video takes you on a 100-mile adventure through backroads and quaint small towns, unveiling the region's hidden beauty.
I begin in the surroundings of Sedona, known for its majestic red rock formations and vibrant art scene. From there, we cruise through the Village of Oak Creek, where the stunning Red Mountains loom large, offering a picturesque backdrop for our journey. Our destination, the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park near Payson, is a geological marvel. The park, home to the world's largest natural travertine bridge, presents a spectacular finale to our scenic drive.
Through this video, experience the allure of Northern Arizona's landscapes, from towering mountains and lush valleys to historic small towns brimming with charm. It's a journey of natural wonders, local history, and the tranquil beauty of the American Southwest. So buckle up, and let's discover the road less traveled in Northern Arizona's mountainous terrain.

Beautiful! I like to sit close to tv and feel like I am riding shot gun! Feels like I am on the road. Haven't done much of thst since 2020 but I did go to Tucson, Tombstone, Saguaro Lake and Tonto State Park that summer. Even passed thru Kingman, Oatman and Laughlin. Love these places. We had traveled that Wickenberg Highway. I was googling that road after trip and that was how I discovered RVerTV! Great video Russ! Be safe out there. Can't wait for more 🌵

We stopped at Tonto Natural Bridge SP a couple years ago, going from Prescott, AZ to a Harvest Host near Quemado, NM. Our rig is a 24' Winnebago Minnie Winnie, and I was in for a bit of a surprise going down, then back up that entrance road. Had to put it into the lowest gear and go about 5mph back up that hill. In any case, was super enjoyable to stop there. In our case, we ended up taking that hike to the bottom and took about 20 minutes each way. It was a bit steep in few places, but once down there it's pretty special.

🙋‍♀Hello Russ! Dearly loved the Campground in Page Springs. I thought the big plants by the water looked like Elephant Ears. The Bell rock was neat! Loved seeing the red flowers. Especially the happy flower. Enjoyed seeing Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. I liked the old house too. Would have been a nice dining area on top. Have a wonderful week!👍

I had to smile seeing the kids bopping down the road at the beginning, obviously enjoying themselves. Page Springs looks like a nice place with Oak Creek and all the trees and shade. Thanks for taking us to the White Mtns and Tonto Natural Bridge--it's been on my list for a long time. The travertine walls reminds me of the formations in Havasu Canyon. I love hearing the chittering of the swallows as they fly around. See ya next time...happy trails!

I visited there about 25 or so years ago. The entrance and parking area looked nothing like what your video shows. When I pulled up to pay the smaller fee back then the “Resident mule” stuck its head into my car to clear me into the park. The ranger then told me that the mule was just doing her job. It was a very friendly mule. The park was much more prímative and homey.

Another excellent video. I know I've said it before, but I just love your attitude, and your genuine appreciation of the beauty all around us. Back in the village of Oak Creek, that place with the big smoking barbecue was the Colt Grill. Their food is excellent, and the portions are very generous. They're open for breakfast, which makes for a great start to the day. If I ever meet you on the road, I'll buy you a root beer. I'm not an RVer, although I often dreamed about it when I was younger.
