Came back again to try to pierce through the overgrown creek and find the oasis ssk44 wrote about. It was getting warm but still cool enough to be a great hike. The creek is completely overgrown in before the canyon and there's a bit of a slog through reeds, pink creek weeds, more trees and yucky, mucky algae. No rattlesnakes guarded the way this time and just as I started to question if the hike was worth it, the creek widened and opened up into a gorgeous, peaceful Saguaro lined canyon. Every step became more beautiful as the canyon closed in on the creek. The dogs had a blast boulder hopping and I couldn't stop taking pictures. Before the canyon opens again there's a stretch of creek that runs just a couple inches deep over flat compacted sand that is sublime. Loved it.
