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.
In the spring many parts of the Verde get
ample wildflowers, and in autumn ash, cottonwood, sycamore
and other trees along the water turn yellow and orange.
