Exploring the Tonto National Forest east of Apache Junction - Motorcycle Adventure with hikes too!

Описание: I spent a few weeks east of Phoenix in the Tonto National Forest exploring and camping. In this video I show you the highlights of that. Activities included lots of scenic driving, some hiking and even kayaking. There is a lot to see here and a lot in this video so feel free to see the chapters! This was recorded the first part of March in 2023.
