Enjoying Box Canyon Scenery

Dear Family & Friends,
It truly amazes me the sights we see as we journey to the places we visit.  This post is mostly pictures that caught my attention during the day (and a few I sneaked in without anyone aware : )

Darrel caught the back of me as he took a pic of the canyon

Cactus are such resilient plants, they crowd the cliff sides and hang on to dear life.

Every time I see a cliff or hill side that is dotted with saguaros, 
it amazes me as you don't see this in the midwest plains.

I caught this youngster (probably not very old) on the rocky cliffs.

This boulder lined the Hassayampa River edge -- look at the conglomeration of stones compressed!

Yes, there is water in Arizona and we actually experienced it moving along the riverbed.
(I had told Darrel I would miss the Colorado creeks/rivers when we left 
so it was good to see running water)

More water trails -- we actually saw some of it frozen along the shady canyon side!

Bob's Polaris up the riverbed from our location.

This device actually measures the amount of water and a lot of the water is underground.

Darrel found these bird nests dotting the cliff sides -- not sure what lives there?

Bob & Ruger at the Polaris - Ruger enjoyed the water, belly down to check it out! 
we had visitors to the canyon (in the truck) join us -- they were headed for a hike.

Ruger in Box Canyon -- he is truly our guide most of the time!

We arrived home about 4 1/2 hours later and really tired, but always amazed and what we see along the way.

Until next time and a new place,
We send our love and blessings,
Susan & Darrel
