Whites Crossing - Black River
My husband and I go to this area almost every year for fishing (which includes a little bit of hiking when you take "government trail" rather than the pump station stairs). It is a beautiful area still, but the fishing has been devastated by the AZ Wallow Fire from last year. The fishing was terrible this trip due to the silt and ash that has collected along the river banks. Hubby got stuck up to his knees in the mud and almost lost his shoes it is so thick at the bank's edge. The next day we woke up to an inch of glorious snow on the ground which we are not used to at our home in the more southern part of AZ. The photo opportunties are endless in the pristine area where we (only) saw antelope, mule deer and javelina on the drive into and out of our campsite.
