Tonto National Park & Seven Springs
Sounds pretty relaxing and laid-back, huh? Well, 40 min drive was on a rugged road- dirt and
small stones- around twisty curves...no guardrails between you and " down below"....
Scenery was awesome IF you dared take your eyes off the road to look.
After arriving at trailhead, it was about 1/2 hour trek up & down- river bed way down below....eventually, the trail headed down to river bed....very scenic to see
water flowing in middle of desert and mountains in background......different trees and
vegetation....even some pretty purple flowers! Many signs warning "Do not enter if
flooded" ...sure don't want to go there if even a chance of rain.
It sure was a different hike...if I feel the need to go again, maybe I'll just
pull out the photos taken along the trail:) Sent from my iPad
