| no partners | | Another foray into the LCR gorge below Springerville, starting at the roadside restrooms near Becker Lake. We were mostly following the old water flume, which was built in 1927 or so, to bring water from the little dam to the hydroelectric plant down-canyon. Due to brush and washouts, it is frequently necessary to walk along the riverbank, which is sometimes just fine, and other times is a scramble and a bushwhack. We hiked until we could see the roof of the old powerhouse (see [ Powerhouse Trail - Wenima Wildlife Area ] )
We sort of got lost a couple of times, trying to get back to the flume after we had started walking on dirt roads further down. It was fun to explore, because one road took us up to the rim of the canyon, giving us a nice view.
We didn't see any wildlife except for two geese flying south, following the river. We have a resident population here, but migratory geese also come through here. |
