I've always wanted to see Coal Mine Canyon, of course, I chose the day that Phoenix hit 118*. This place is desolate, peaceful, hauntingly quiet and a real hidden gem. Upon my arrival 3 campers were packing up and it was a comfortable 84* at 0700. Within 30 minutes, the people were gone and I was literally the only person here, the quiet was deafening. Only some White-Throated Swifts and American Kestrels were within my immediate proximity. By the time that I left at 0930 it was already 95* and this place has no shade or water, so be mindful of this! Can't wait to go back during the fall. Conversely, great Navajo taco stand just outside Cameron on the south side of the town.
