Mark's Scenic Arizona

Willow Springs Canyon = November 04, 2011

We had hopes of reaching the Salt River

But were stopped 1000' short by a marsh

Beginning of our hike
Weird looking rock
One of the brushier areas.
Mother carrying a baby on her back?
Headless Saguaro
Tracey looking so forlorn
Narrowest point in the canyon
Tracey taking a closer look
Pushing through 6-8' tall reeds
Following an animal track
This was our end point
Tracey barely 20' ahead of me
Trying another route
Heading back up the canyon
I climbed with hopes of seeing the Salt River.
We reached bend
Looking down from where I climbed
What's in there?
Western Valley Root Beer.
Hmmm, what does that look like?
A vulture waiting for his family to drop in
Turkey Vulture
Skeletal remains of another vulture?
Rock crawlers have been by here.
Rock crawler tracks
The only other folks we saw.
Where we started the hike from
Superstitions amidst a dust storm
What's in there?
The favorite of trashers everywhere!
