Love all your videos. However, this one is a bit personal. Back in 2020, we bought a plot of land in the Tanque Verde area of Tucson, with the goal of having our winter home built on a 3-acre land. Our property actually backs up to the Soldier Trail Trailhead off of the Mt. Lemmon Highway. We look forward to spending many winter days and nights in sunny and warm Arizona while enjoying the incredible scenery and wildlife! Thanks for sharing the beauty of the area.
May I offer a suggestion Could you do a video of the Going-to-the-Sun Road and one of the Beartooth Highway Those two are among the most scenic drives in the US, IMHO.
Thank you for your great work!

Yet another excellent road trip video. It was way back in 1993 that I drove up that road. What makes me so appreciative of your videos is that I can relive those journeys of mine of so long ago. And they make me aware of how much I've completely forgotten about those drives. I actually went past the Ski Resort and up to the gate of the Observatory. On that same trip, I later went and visited the Aircraft Museum at Tucson. Or perhaps it was after this drive. Yes, so long ago, and so much forgotten. Once again, thank you for producing these videos. From NSW Australia.

The trip down the mountain seems more fascinating than the trip up, because the granitic rimrock pinnacles and hoodoos are more obvious. Going both directions, if one has a sharp eye, you can even pick out a couple of little natural bridges! And it looked like you could even tack on a half hour, using roughly 15 minutes each end, going through suburban Tuscon outskirts, to contrast this most sinuous climb, that jumps through many different watersheds. And, this has to be the thickest bunch of Saguaro "forests" that you've shown us yet.

Great video but you missed the best part! Right before Summerhaven you could have taken the road to the right and seen the Ski lift and that is where bicyclists start their last gasp of air to make it to the top at Steward Observatory 9, 157 Elevation, that 2 mile climb is tough, someone walking would be going faster than you biking: ) There are old Motorola towers at the observatory that you can spot at your video's 55. 52 minute marker. Thanks for you video, I loved it.

I was just up there I was going to the lake but they closed it because of the fire and they needed to get water out of the lake was kind of disappointing but I’ve been up there 100 times so there’s plenty of other places to go. I did happen to find a big foot structure while I was up top L O L but anyway nice video.

Outstanding! In 1987 I was fortunate enough to be able to take this same journey while I was stationed at Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson. The movie 'The Wraith' was also filmed in and around Tucson including some scenes on this road. Charlie Sheen was the lead Actor along with Randy Quaid.

Respect to the people who mountain bike to the top from the bottom. Motorcycle guys love this road unfortunately there is about a death or two a year from guys who ride beyond there skill level. You can easily hit 100mph on these roads and take turns from 50-70mph. great qaulity vid.

Love just the sound of the road, I dont need any silly music playing.
Love minimal skipping ahead.
Love not having to deal with some wanna be's commentary or mug.
In my opinion you have it just right, maybe a three D version so We could be fully immersed.

Kind of strange to see so many different languages in the comments of a video showing my hometown. I’m just glad people are appreciating the beauty! Greetings from Tucson.

Hiking wonderland! Those beauties need geo-coordinates. Cannot post myself, as YT censors them immediately and I suspect the ones that go through are shadowbanned.

Mysteries.
Mental relief for city dwellers. Wide and quiet mountains.
Should be seen in largest screens.
