We camped in Turkey Creek for two nights to explore Aravaipa Canyon. Before heading back to uncivilization, we thought it would be nice to hike up Turkey Creek. The 4x4 road makes it an easy hike. The weather was perfect. Trees were turning, especially the plentiful sycamores and black willows along this canyon. The Salado cliff dwelling was of course a must see item for this trip anyway. Having been to Mesa Verde earlier this year, it was interesting to see how the Salado version of cliff dwellings varied from the Anasazi.

Took the road to where it climbs up and out of the canyon and turned back for camp. It's along drive back to north Phoenix, but a stop in Miami at Guayo's for some superb Mexican (try the green chili cheese crisp) made for a good way to celebrate a great trip.
