All clips in this collection are high quality 4k resolution and completely original footage filmed in Arizona. Many scenes feature the distinctive beauty of the Sonoran Desert in the Phoenix and North Scottsdale area, including rugged mountains, desert valleys, cactus landscapes, along hiking trails, changing weather, and the vivid color that appears during golden hour and twilight.
