Hey what's going on it's adventure time and you know what they say difficult roads often
lead to beautiful destinations so stick around this is going to be a good one.
All right so today we are hiking the Sycamore Rim Trail somewhere near Flagstaff Arizona.
It's an 11 mile hike it's going to be a loop around it's pretty flat so it's rated moderate
so it's not going to be too difficult so yes the weather's perfect too so I'm in for a fabulous
day of adventure and to make this day even better I have one of my favorite hikers with me here
today. Hello everybody. Ojitos yay are you excited? Yes I am. Yeah today the theme is superheroes so
Captain America and Wonder Woman. Perfect so stick around and we're gonna have some amazing views
and yeah super excited let's do this. So today is a very nice cloudy day
it's only eight in the morning right now the weather is like 60 degrees so it's perfect
there's 80% chances of rain around 11 and 12 so we might get some rain today.
I didn't bring my raincoat but whatever you know a little water is not gonna hurt me so
I'm excited so yeah here we go 11 miles I'm ready. Okay so there's water that's a sign
uh reading the reviews I learned that there's a waterfall somewhere here
um they told me that sometimes it's dry but uh the hike is still worth you know
it's still worth it even if the the waterfall's not doesn't have any water because the views
are amazing as you guys can see. So we will see if we're lucky enough today
to see water running on the waterfall. Okay so we got to this point
where there was two ways a fork and no signs and uh we don't know if we're going the right way
so we are looking for clues to lead us to the right way so yeah there's a big possibility
that we are lost and then we're taking the wrong trail. Are we lost? I don't want to think that way
that scares me. So I think we are I think we're gonna turn around yes yeah let's follow our
instinct. I think so too because if you guys can see this trail is more kind of like for a car
and it's not a hiking trail I don't think it is so we are gonna turn around
and yeah go the other way. We're gonna follow our instinct and my instinct tells me
we're going the wrong way so going back and yes hopefully we find the right way
and getting lost is part of the adventure just makes it so much better more exciting too. So
yes we're back to the other trail and we're trying to find a sign that leads us the right way but
there's no signs and by the way there's a lot of mosquitoes my legs are being
yeah so if you decide to come make sure you prepare for mosquitoes because they're eating me
alive. Wow look at this view it's so beautiful I have a feeling that we picked the right trail
yes we did I have a feeling too and that's two people yes we cannot be wrong we will soon find
out. Okay guys it's starting to rain I don't know if you can see the water but it's very
mellow it's nothing crazy but yeah it's raining. Ojitos just gave me a peach yes snack time
but this one's good too
perfect oh wow it's delicious very juicy
yes oh my god oh wow look how beautiful this is
look at this it's a beautiful hike oh it's amazing I'm so happy well we are here and we
started right here so I think we travel all the way around here so we halfway down so from here
to here so where are the waterfalls I don't see the waterfalls mark on this
sign so at least we know we're on the right trail yeah
we've been hiking for about two hours and we finally get to see a sign so we get an idea
yes we'll see I think we're close uh we wanted to have lunch here but we're gonna wait a little
bit it's only 11 20 so uh yeah not even noon yet and we're doing pretty good so yes we're
gonna keep walking and hopefully we get to see the waterfall quick snack before lunch what is it
a protein bar protein bar coconut and what else almond oh delicious oh my goodness yes
we see it waterfalls coming up so excited oh my god fly ojitos is gonna fly she's gonna jump off
this is a weird shaped stone look at this oh my god it's so pretty down there
see a few moments ago we were on the other side I made it down here and it's so freaking
incredible you guys look at this yes you need to join me super girl because oh there's an
echo can you guys hear it kind of not really but yeah you guys see super girl coming somewhere
down there there she is oh my god I think I can go all the way down to the the water is not very
clean but hey I don't think I can go down there but anyway the view from here is incredible
whoa the water is not clean so no cliff diving today that was absolutely fantastic
now we're gonna continue to search for
she's so excited I love it but yeah we need to continue with our journey to find this waterfall
okay what superhero is missing what oh my god I love it
she has a full costume now nobody will ever know yes
okay so we got another dilemma here another freaking fork oh my goodness
so I guess we're gonna take a chance and see if we don't get lost again all right guys so we found
what we were looking for it's pretty cool uh there's no water running right now but you know
what it's still amazing it's still a beautiful picture and yes also the sun's coming up so
there's gonna be no rain which is good I guess so yeah here we are beautiful place
so we're gonna go ahead and eat and enjoy our lunch with this beautiful gorgeous view
there's my super girl right here so yeah so if you can see down there that's where the waterfall
forms if you pay close attention you're gonna hear water dripping way down there so I guess
if we get a little bit of rain we could probably see some water falling but it's okay it's still
amazing uh lunch time my favorite how blessed we are to be able to enjoy our lunch here with
this beauty in front of us it's just so fantastic my favorite my favorite I love it so yeah we're
gonna go ahead and eat lunch and then uh enjoy this gorgeous view and then continue with our
hike so excuse us we're gonna eat for a little bit for a little bit we'll be back avocado sandwich
delicious superheroes eat too
all right so that was a nice break and we are gonna continue with our hike
yes let's see what else we see it's been amazing so far I'm taking some energy for the road
so yeah let's go
you think okay so here we are and we have to go we believe right here so as you can see
it's not too much it's way less than half so let's see how long it takes us to get to to the car
okay the superheroes are still here cheers cheers uh so let me tell you a little bit what
happened it looks like we got lost again it's now 2 p.m and we're still here walking
um but guess what I got service I have one percent battery on my phone though
and I was able to seven extra miles was that for us come on nothing
so I was able to pull off the trail on my gps and we are 1.6 miles away from the car
yeah so yes we are not lost we just took a an alternative route
how are you feeling great we're still here yeah this is good training for rim to rim coming up

there's the car only a few more steps we made it back to the car yay
after six hours of hiking we are back you think no it was six hours but we did like a
bunch of miles I think we added a few extra miles to our hiking but it feels good
