Top 8 Most Secluded Towns in Arizona 

thank you for sharing good story

I lived in CK also from 1994 to 2006. AFRAME behind General Store and Fire station. Was so much fun. I knew many as you did probably.

Visited Crown king. Definitely a secluded town in AZ

I live in the west valley (Goodyear) and went to school at NAU back in the 80s. I've seen Crown King on the map and have often wondered about the place but even to date have never been there.. I'll try to change that now

@@jimdandy6452 make the trip, it's a nice little town. We take the back way in 4wd's and go up for a beer and lunch in the saloon. The fudge in the general store is seriously good!

Pecans

Bowie has been infected by commiefornia corporations and is only a shadow of itself. Same thing is happening in San Simon. The two truck stops and school district in San Simon are the main employers in the San Simon valley.

Me from south of India too enjoyed it.

Same

I lived there too at the time and remember how much it impacted the entire town. It was terrible but was nice to see how ppl came together to support each other

I was in wicken burg I had friend in yarnell and did sub contract work up there .rip fire fighters.

Prescott is my hometown, and I was still living there when that happened. The loss of those men truly rocked us.

I knew the crew boss pretty well. Still can't believe it happened to them. He was a very knowledged wildland firefighter. I personally know that when you play with fire, your gonna get burned. Spent 32 years in fire/EMS before I retired.

Still does for a lot of us, I do believe.

I’ve been through Why,Az! Literally both there lol

And there is nothing wrong with that.

I just wish all the tourists who moved here would go back where they came from.

@@jimanders9971 I've thought for a long time that the State Department of Tourism and other adds would stop. We really don't need to spend millions to get people here. But political types always want bigger and bigger so they have a bigger kingdom. I miss the Arizona I grew up in.

Hey, somebody else that knows about Why! I got to drive 3 hours one way to pick up a client for a medical appointment in Tucson, during Monsoon season. The power was out in the entire town, including the single gas station, so their pumps weren't working. I had to pray that my gas lasted till I got back to Tucson. What was a tiny puddle in the road on the way there, was now a roaring rapid. Never did get my client to their appointment.

Arizona is a BEAUTIFUL state ... all over ... I LOVE TOMBSTONE myself especially where a childhood dream of mine came true ..... KARI FOR GOVERNOR :)

@@geramerix2753 YES! This state has so much beauty, and treasures. And yes, I'm still supporting Kari Lake. We all know who really won that election. I've yet to check out Tombstone, but will add it to my itinerary of places to check out. ;)

They won't be for long with more videos like this popping up. The quickest way to ruin a small town is inviting city folk in.

There are trees~! There is water.

When I went to Flagstaff last year , it was snowing for a full two days straight

I drove through there in June after seeing in on the map since the late 80s and being curious. Given it's a dirt road both north and south (and a long dirt road at that), I can safely say it's not only super secluded but will stay that way forever.

I was just at a swimming hole out in that area a few weeks ago. LOL

We like it that way!! Keep Young secluded.

Was raised in Payson, got married in Pine. Now we have a place on the outskirts of Prescott, Chino Valley and also have a home in California which we will be selling soon and come and live back in Az permanently to retire! Maybe pick up a place in Havasu since we have a boat and go there every chance we get too!

I've lived in Phoenix for 35 years. Just retired to Strawberry Arizona. Love it

I grew up in Yuma, GO CRIMINALS!!! 40 years of two careers away from here, I returned. It's nice living in the 'scrub' of the White Mountains.

@@michaeltaylor4984 Now you've got that ding dong airhead Hobbs for Governor...

@@scottdunn2178 You are a great reminder of why I moved to the country.

Oh my!

DON'T TAKE YOUR PICNIC LUNCH TO LAKE PATAGONIA THE FLIES WILL CARRY YOUR LUNCH OFF !😁😁😁

You must've been delivered by my great uncle Dr. Delmar Mock

The Hotshots Memorial Hike is a very emotional hike. I think most of us in the Tri City area either know one of the Heroes, or know their families. That fire was a heartbreaking day for Arizona.

@@caitrina19 Prescott Valley neighbor here. I attempted to hike that memorial trail but, I took the time to read each plaques and, after plaque #6, I was overcome with emotion and decided to turn back... I followed the news of that fire from day one and was not happy with how many of those situations unfolded even after the fire had ended...

And take in parades....26 Bar Ranch

But it’s to close to the border & you have deal with illegal boarder crossing a lot. But the lake is nice I spent about 3 days there.

Same here. Beautiful, rolling country, perfect climate.

Payson is remote too. 70 miles north of Phoenix, 70 miles south of Flagstaff. I love it here ❤️

Too bad they can’t stop big money.

Too bad because they’re going to get left behind like the Masai of Kenya who have resorted to begging and bullying people who buy land from them forcing them to give them hobs and money or they threaten you with lynching if you don’t.

That is such good news!

I remember living in a small town in my first year of teaching. I was the stranger. At the laundromat you could see heads moving in tiny circles as they watched my clothes in the dryer. I suppose they were looking for clues about me. Why not ask me then? That was the loneliest year of my life.

@@martinphilip8998 I find your comment funny and distressing however it seems a bit neglectful of other variables. Living it however it's so much better than +500k people in crisis like identity politics and covid.

Love Concho, not too cold, not too hot, far enough but not too far.

I live in that small town! It truly is beautiful, but the place I lived before was even more so. I used to live in the Sierra nevadas in a small town called Arnold.

Spent a lot of time in the Antler myself.

And Nowhere, AZ

Nice place. Do you still live there?

Also in the Safford Thatcher area but father out in the middle of no-where is Fort Thomas, last town on highway 70 before you hit the San Carlos Reservation.

Ajo is awesome!! I got to spend the spring there when all the saguaro cactus is were blooming and it was magical.

I'm from ajo ..very secluded sad it didnt make the list

If you notice, every town this guy stated are full of commiefornians and have turned into communist communes. People try to tell you how you are going to live in those towns. Thanks to the mines around Safford, it's starting to get absurd with taxes and property prices. The commiefornia cancer is spreading across Arizona, rapidly. I was born and raised north of Douglas. It has turned into the American side of Agua Prieta. 98% of all the store clerks only speak spanish including in walmart. No habla englas.

Was wondering that myself, lived in Ajo Feb 1996 - Aug 1998. Enjoyed it greatly. Have thought about moving back there.

What about Yucca Arizona

Ashfork and Seligman both on Interstate 40, definitely not off the beaten path!

And coffee so salty, you could swear it was made with sea water!

The shakes are all gross, I make sure to have enough gas to never stop there again😅

@@sedonaguy A friend and I were so eager to try dates shakes after seeing billboards along the highway...hey, advertising works!😄 But no. Neither one of us like them. At all.😝

World-famous is a bit of a stretch. I've lived in Arizona most of my life from Prescott to Bisbee. I've never heard of Dateland let alone their world-famous milkshakes.

Passed through there a few times going to Yuma for the fun of it , it is pretty deserty and middle of no where !

Yep, Blue is way out there.

🤫

Blue, Alpine, several white mountain communities are lovely...

It won't with you spreading it on the world wide net.

Good luck with that

Many were bypassed by interstates in the 1960s and 70s and when that happened the tourist dollars dried up. I remember those pre-interstate days when many were bus and fuel stops and that kept their local economy going.

Too late, Phoenix is already screwed, Tucson is getting there too.

It's the go back and fix your own damn state video.

No then they'll wanna move to Tucson!

@@geedubb2005 “PhOeNiX iS aLrEaDy ScReWed” man Phoenix BEEN screwed for a WHILE !! Drug and Homeless problems, trash a** food, constant gun violence, racists, TERRIBLE drivers… pls don’t make it seem like Phoenix was this grand utopia

@@NoMoreLockedDoorz ...I don't want to live in the Phoenix metro area but overall it is much better then most big cities around the country...except for the hot summers...most big cities elsewhere are losing people because of their mindless politicians allowing them to become shit holes.

@Matt Nass why?

@Matt Nass we’re full* And just moved here in AZ. Enjoy exploring around AZ. 🤗

​@Matt Nass Trollin' Trollin Trollin. Keep those loosers Trollin. Keep them loosers Trollin... my my!

I love marana

But he did not tell us why the great weather in Patagonia. Altitude? Did not tell us.

Better hurry, we're changing fast. Most 'cities' are suburbs of California, now.

Well, you got my attention with St David. Quickly Sierra Vista is the town that prospered(I now live in Tucson)! Benson not so much and I suppose one might say that of St David. My connection to that Mormon town(?) is Catholic thru the Trinity Monastery. I certainly have a healthy respect for the Mormons. St David lost(building torn down) it's elementary school(?), the one probably going back to your day(I graduated high school 1968 in Ohio). It MAY have been reconstructed elsewhere. It also lost the Holy Trinity Monastery. I went thru the town recently and happened to see a young girl(13?) sitting on the doorsteps of her family trailer. My heart went out to her thinking of how likely it is that she'll be unprepared for this modern world. Small towns are beautiful: it's the beautiful young people that I worry about. Us retirees going to small towns? That's one thing. The youngsters? That's another..........more than ever in today's world! IF you wish to say anything about your experience at St David I'd love to hear it.

Dont move here,we dont want you

it’s a trip reading your comment we are kind of like opposites in a way, as i was born in May 69 in Alaska, and we moved to Arizona when i was young, to desert hills off the carefree highway to a nice 10 acre ranch, then phoenix and Tucson/Sell out on the Tohono o’Odham indian reservation ive been in Az most of my life, 46 out of 52 years. im sorry i can’t say how much those areas you lived in changed, except possibly Tucson which was much smaller at the time of my birth, at least thats the perception i have from traveling occasionally to Tucson growing up in the 70s. 🙂

St David was one of my favorite places to stop by and take landscape photos when I traveled along the AZ highway to Douglas.

I agree Douglas is where I live and yes it is very secluded

And I live in very secluded Bisbee. We drive to Douglas for the duty-free shop, and Sierra Vista for the Walmart.

i kept waiting for Bisbee to show up on the list. also Supai.

@@ClaudiaHernandez-yq4vq I haven’t been to Douglas since 2014. Never lived there but love the small town vibe. What’s new there?

@@gregengel1616 I miss Bisbee. I have often thought about moving there. The antique shops and a small pizza place there were my favorite places when I stopped to take a break from driving. The guy who worked at the pizza place was rude to me. But I still remained polite. I hope all is well in Bisbee, Greg.

Absolutely! Also Meadview, Chloride, Crown King and Cleatus to name a few others.

Then oatman.

It's Supai. Havasupai is the name of the reservation or the people. I agree it's the most remote city in America or at least the lower 48.

Arivaca, Ajo

Young

Me Too

Who wants to move to nowhere. Lol

@@randyreynolds7633 too many, I'm afraid.

Pass there are way better places to visit

At least Arizona doesn't get the crazies like New Mexico does.

It's ok if you settle there, but everybody else stay away...

Rubys a ghost town been abandoned since 1942

Pearce is one of my favorite secluded towns

I thought for sure he would have Young. It's a dirt road to get there.

I live out in Young and expected to see it on here!

@@knowmadicexistence7993 I also lived in young several years ago and ran the antlers for a little while we may be know each other or be friends

Yup. Related to the turner’s & cline’s here.

@@stevenboccardo2372 yes I know kline family was married to rox ann a niece from parker

Three way talk about popping up in the middle of nowhere.

Shhh!! Don't tell anyone about Young. Let's keep it hidden.

Ha! When I was a kid we would stop by the Threeway store when we went fishing/picnicking at the "Guthry's"

Its in the 70s here in the white mountains, & its summer, why don't you talk about something you know.

It's mid-july, it's cold and rainy in Prescott, get educated.

Some of us love the diversity of Arizona. The Sonoran Desert is such a unique place to live. But you can also live in the mountains in a pine forest.

@@celesteg-g2684 That's Gr8! We all express our opinions in the comment section of vlogs on YT. This is yours. That was mine.

Not too old, but I’ve lived in safford for almost 20 years now

@@ericmilesdavid1321 Be sure to enjoy the nature you have close by :)

And they shot it in NM BECAUSE STUPID AZ HAS NO FILM INCENTIVES

@@barbaraglover7145 Because Liberal Hollywood needs to save money for their crappy movies. Please keep your Liberal actors in NM!!

Makes sense. I was thinking of a Charlie Sheen movie 😅

@@ronnieam33 I'm near two studios and think it would be cool if they would make some westerns. However I'm from NM and feel breaking bad really messed up Albuquerque or maybe its the "liberals".

Indeed. Remember: you’re a refugee, not a missionary.

I think it’s too late. The towns in this video are the remnants of old Arizona

ARIZONA SUCKS

Gross.

Too late, esp in Phoenix

Was in Bisbee & Tombstone last week. Hit up Goldfield Ghost town last weekend

wow. sounds great

It's beautiful!

Very cold in the winter, nice in the summer but every year threatened by massive fires.

@Bra'tac Highway? The road in and out is two lane, narrow and very winding. The town sits on the side of a mountain.

That's what I was thinking!

@Bra'tac both liberal city government

@Bra'tacturning into a liberal shithole.that wants to take gun rights away

@YAHshakar ihy6

There are also towns called Why and No.

Not as great weather as he says. Still gets hot in the summer.

Tortilla flat ain't a town. It's a gift shop and restaurant.
