Hey! Welcome to Ruins and Ridges! I am a 13 year old boy living in Arizona, discovering little-known areas. I find places on Google Earth and hike to them. We travel to remote locations and sometimes we bring our cute dog Buddy with us. In the last two years, I hiked over 2,000 miles total and these adventures took me to some of the most beautiful places. I like rock scrambling, off-trail hiking, climbing mountains, exploring terrains, finding Native American ruins and all cool things outdoors. If you love nature, adventure, and discovery, this is the channel for you. Join me as I show you the beauty and mystery of the high desert of the Southwest, from ancient ruins to breathtaking ridges. I post videos every weekend. My hope for this channel is to motivate other young people to get out, enjoy, and respect nature, and our past.
