May backpacking advice

I am visiting Arizona last week of May.

Looking for a couple 1 or 2 night backpack trips. I don't mind something challenging, but worth the effort. Looking for an area where I can find water. I will be going to Aravaipa for 3 days, then meeting my stepdaughter for another 5 days. Have been studying Cherry Creek (Devils Chasm) area, Ash Creek/Frye Canyon areas. Don't mind tough trails (nothing with technical rope climbing - at least not yet). Have GPS. Would appreciate any advice offered.

May last year, spent 3 days in Aravaipa, did the Big Loop day hike in Chiricahua monument. Spent time in Huachucas and Mule Mountains

In response to jaybird's reply:
Thanks Jaybird! Great recommendations. Paria Canyon looks awesome. Hell's gate looks good and is close to some other areas I am thinking about. I'll be posting my my May trip photos in early June and hope that I'll have some things of interest to share on HAZ (great site). don
