Aravaipa Canyon, Arizona
Aravaipa Canyon (and Aravaipa Creek) is a beautifully pristine preserve
on the edge of the Galiuro Mts. in southern Arizona. The area is designated
as wilderness and managed by the BLM, which also provides hiking permits.
These photos were taken along the first four miles of Aravaipa Creek
upstream from the west trailhead. Finally, I don't focus on wildlife, but
another great thing about Aravaipa Canyon is that it's teeming with
everything from deer and birds to black bears and rattlesnakes.
