| no partners | | I lived in Flagstaff for 18 years of my life and I can't believe today was my first time at Picture Canyon. Regardless that it is fueled by some strange smelling chlorine filled reclaimed water it is still a very nice little slice of canyon!
It's just a nice mixup to see a modest riparian habitat in my hometown! Never thought I'd see a waterfall in Flagtown 
I made my way down to the bottom of the canyon and followed the water downstream until the canyon opened up and it became rather boring and featureless so I turned around and headed back to the many nice cascades.
I have only seen photos of this place from the same and most obvious viewpoint so I was on a mission to take some shots from the base of the main falls. Well I made it there just fine of course but when I attempted to walk out into the water a few feet to take some shots I immediately sank into some of the nastiest, stickiest and downright foul smelling mud Iv ever encountered. It was just like the quicksand type of soft mud I ran into at "Columbine Falls" which nearly left me trapt in its clutches. So unfortunately I did not get the photos I was hoping for since instead I had to resort to balancing on a mess of cattail all while still being sunk up to my knees in nasty reclaimed mud water.
Had fun climbing around the canyon and listening to the cascades, glad to have checked this one off the list. |
