| no partners | | This is a nice alternative to Aravaipa when you don't have permits. We left Mesa at 5:30am. Once arriving at Aravaipa wilderness area we turned left and enjoyed a beautiful drive down Turkey Creek. Stopped at the Salado ruins then continued on toward Oak Grove Canyon.
Fall colors were everywhere, on the trees and on the ground. Sycamores and cottonwoods are past their peak. Came across a stand of maples that displayed a full range of greens, yellows and reds.
We hiked about 1.2 miles back and then headed back out the way we came. Huge canyon walls and dramatic curves at the heart of this canyon. More to explore, I look forward to going back again. |
