Felt like taking another trip to the Goldfield/Canyon Lake area. Parked at the Apache Gap turnout and dropped into Willow Creek and followed it thru a few sets of narrows all the way to the Salt River/Saguaro Lake. On the way back, I decided to save some time, so I hiked from the river up the first drainage from the east towards the dam service road. Hiked the dirt road to the highway and along the highway to the final bends just before Apache Gap. I avoided this narrow section of the highway by dropping into the valley/drainage and up the final section of Willow Creek back to Apache Gap. All in all, a moderately interesting canyon. If you just wanted to view this section of the river, you just take that service road to a turnout and hike out to a viewpoint (with much evidence of previous visits).
