3:16 California botanist here. I traveled through the Madrean chaparral for the first time while collecting for my PhD, and I knew ahead of time that there was this "interior chaparral" out there, but boy howdy I wasn't really prepared for how chaparraly it actually is. I about lost it when I ran into a sugar bush, _Rhus ovata_ ... It is so weird to drive through hours and hours of desert and then run into a plant that is so emblematic of coastal California. Mind blown.

Thank you for your video. 74 year old Tucson native here and we love our Sky Islands. They make summers liveable. My great grandfather and great uncles worked the Lavender Pit in Bisbee, grandmother went to school in Bisbee in early 1920s. Have traveled world wide, and lived in many other beautiful locations around the world, but Arizona lives in your soul and we always come home.

One of the best sky islands in Southeast Arizona is Mt. Graham, literally you go from 2,000ft. to 11000 ft in 20 miles. There's a paved road that goes all the way to the top. At the top you feel like you're standing on a commercial airliner in flight. You can see all the mountains this guy describes from the top of Mt Graham.

I also found a huge native American agricultural site just off the Colorado River with thousands of morter and pestiles. Every overhang had ancient bee hives under them. A local farmer said his grandfather reused an old canal he found for his fields. What was interesting was after finding thousands of agricultural tools, I didn't find one arrow head. I assume they were nomadic farmers.
@thenaturalexperience2140
@thenaturalexperience2140 7 месяцев назад
What an amazing find; i'd ask you to disclose the location but it's best kept a close secret! A good chunk of native cultures weren't hunters and largely relied on the land for their resources, the colorado river area along the arizona cali border had many Yumen speaking tribes who farmed along its banked since it stayed above freezing in the area essentially year round! Thanks again for sharing!

I live in Tucson and I love to go to our so-called "Sky Island" (it says so on all the signs) Mt. Lemmon as often as possible. In the winter at the top (near a town called Summerhaven), they even have ski slopes equipped with ski lifts and everything! The difference as you go up really is stunning, you really feel like you're gradually being transported to a different ecosystem than the desert we're all used to living in. Evergreens, lush cabbage-like plats, lakes with fish, streams, and the most stunning views of the Sonoran desert gradually fading into this foreign landscape. And the sunsets... I don't think I will ever get used to how obscenely beautiful the sunsets are out here, especially with a view like that. The sounds at night on the mountain are so otherworldly, so clearly different than the desert life, but also so clearly still influenced by the low rainfall and generally harsher climate. It's a remarkable place that I will always hold dear in my heart.

This would have been a perfect video to show my father, he was sure that all of Arizona was low desert scrub and that there was no biodiversity here. When I was little, he taught me all the scientific names for all the trees in NW MT, where I was born & raised. He would have been surprised to hear that we have Doug Fir. I tried to tell him about the Sky Islands, but he never saw them before he passed. He'd spent 26 years working for the USFS, and wrote a lot of contracts for thinning and clearcutting sections of forest before environmental groups started suing every proposed contract. 😢 He knew and loved the forests more than he liked most people.

So important to witness and remember. I did not previously know about this one, but it reminded me of the Grattan massacre: stolen cow, peacefully camped Native Am's wave white flag, oh well.... Sand Creek was also predominantly women and children. We need to be aware that non-combatants are fair game if your brain is full of racist hate, or religious hate.

I was using it as a general term to refer to the huge number of evergreen oak in the woodlands; some of these mountains contain around 1/4 of the entire worlds species of Oak trees!

Very helpful video… Do you know what regions in Arizona would be considered part of the mixed conifer area you mentioned? For example, are there any cities nearby any mixed conifer areas? I ask because I am looking for land and I thought it very interesting you described the mixed conifer areas as having the most rain water. Thank you
@thenaturalexperience2140
@thenaturalexperience2140 7 месяцев назад
Yes! So the only city I know of that is super close to the mixed conifer zone in Arizona is Flagstaff! It's 7,000ft above sea level and gets nearly 100 inches of snow annually. If you're looking for a place in Southern AZ; try Summerhaven it's a small community located in the sky island mountains outside of Tucson. 👍🏻

Tucson less than an hour away from mixed conifer in the Catalina Mtns. Mt Wrightson to the south is close to Sonoita & Green Valley; north of Phoenix is Prescott. and its mountains. In fact, all over AZ there are dynamic cities and towns near forest, every area of the state, with skiing in at least three mountain ranges. Many of the images in this video are near Tucson.

it does widely vary, sometimes you will see entire juniper forests below 4,000; the scale I used was a general ecology scale for the region. Thanks for sharing

That massacre is godawful to hear about. Sounds almost as barbaric as the Sand Creek episode. The sky islands are indeed amazing--like so much of the Colorado Plateau and adjacent regions. America is so endowed--if we conserve it.
