    Video: Guide to Backpacking Arizona's Rincons of Saguaro National Park

    I've been backpacking the Rincons of Saguaro National Park near Tucson for the better part of a decade. It's a great place to hang, and my video has some nice footage of my WBBB in action! If you are looking for a place to hike when the snow is on the ground in the Northland, this isn't a bad choice:

    Fantastic and informative video! I was expecting a trip report, not a highly detailed video guidebook. Very professional.

    I have family in Phoenix and one day hope to do some backcountry trips in AZ so I love seeing all of the AZ videos.

    Hey, thanks! The Rincons are less than a 2-hour drive from Phoenix, definitely worth the drive!

    Thanks! It is a unique area, to get saguaro cacti and ponderosa pines in the same hike is very special.
