Verde River, Arizona
These photos were taken along Arizona's Verde River, from its
confluence with Sycamore Canyon (red rock country north of Clarkdale)
all the way down to the Needle Rock area in the Sonoran Desert, and
many points in between.
Some parts of the Verde get ample wildflowers
in the spring, although most of these images were captured in autumn
when ash, cottonwood and sycamore trees along the river turn colors.
