I think I have several things to share and will probably do it in a couple of posts -- I don't want the posts to get so long that you think you are reading a novel : )
We visited Box Canyon which is behind Round Mountain (we tried to find it the day we went to Round mountain and the 2nd day to retrieve the camera, but we didn't) and near the Boyd Ranch. It was a beautiful day in Arizona but a chilly start to the day. We found the correct turnoffs the first time looking for them and had a beautiful view of the canyon walls along the Hassayampa River and then a few more feet down the wash is a turn off into Box Canyon.
Darrel & Susan in Box Canyon
Coming out of Box Canyon -- the temperature dropped at least 5 degrees as we headed in.
Darrel & Susan at the entrance of Box Canyon -- there are these amazing "evergreen" trees like a weeping willow but LARGE!
This is what those evergreens look like from a distance and Darrel to the right.
Below are more pics of Box Canyon:
We really enjoyed our visit to Box Canyon and hope to go back and spend some additional time. I cannot wait to see the desert in spring time -- we saw so much "green" which is unusual for the desert at this time of year. With all the rain, some one told us we should have beautiful desert flowers and I am excited to see what the desert looks like in the springtime.
Catch the next post with some pics about "things we saw" in and around Box Canyon!
From the Arizona explorers,
Susan & Darrel
