Thunder Mountain - Some of the best views in Sedona
So I climbed Thunder Mountain. I lost my voice along the way. Great views, good challenge. Hard to follow trail with some slightly spicy bits.
That's about all I can think to say about that.
Music by Artlist:
Find Serenity - Flint
Minuet 1 - Ardie Son
Standing Small - The Hunts
Above the Clouds - Sunriver

Another wonderfully composed piece of videography that is entertaining too. We always enjoy watching with a cocktail or over breakfast. I used to go to Sedona all the time when I was a kid when the place wasn't much more than a gas station, a convenience store and a Mexican food restaurant. That was about 45 years ago. How time flies and places change. Still a beautiful part of the world. Thanks for this!

@@JerryArizona we should hang out sometime. I love talking shop about all this stuff. I’d urge you to stay with the phone, make life easy, it is 10bit color and the latest iPhone stabilization is so good. I honestly think with the type of shoots we do, particularly canyons, camera movement, using parallax is so cool for revealing depth and contour, even more important than color grading. . . That said, I’d be happy to chat about grading as well. I definitely have a rinky dink non pro style to doing it but I think it works quite well. My basic premis, blast it with saturation so you can see how the camera screwed it up. . . Too much red? Blue whatever, DJI seems to often add too much green. . . From there I dial back, with hue and temp. Till the color is balanced then lowering the saturation back to, ‘believable” lol! There’s more too, contrast, mid tones highlights and shadows. . . But that is my simplified approach. . . I just shot my most beautiful canyon yet and, turned out to be the scariest too. I wouldn’t give a second thought to being a climber or not. . Nobody watches my channel since they are interested in something they “can” do. . . and Safely.

Just finished watching your Wave video, if you have not hiked there yet, Ed Myer’s Secret is cool. Start at Wire Pass, go down to Buckskin Gulch, instead of going downstream in Buckskin go up stream. Very cool slick rock formations. Usually not crowded, it ends at the Buckskin Trail Head on House Rock Valley Road, or you can go downstream.

It's an unofficial "Social trail". Pretty hard to follow in places. I saw a guy at the summit (with his dog!) and waited for him to enjoy his time at the top. And...he just disappeared. So apparently there are multiple routes. I went up the easy way by Lizardhead. But however he did it was easy enough for a dog to get up there, but no idea what route that was.
