The White River, Arizona
On the Fort Apache Reservation
The White River exists entirely on the Fort Apache Reservation in eastern
Arizona. The river gets its water, and thus its name, from the nearby White
Mts. About five miles downriver from where the photos below were taken,
the White River merges with the Black River to form the Salt River, which
continues downward into the low deserts of southern Arizona. I did not see
even one other person in the remote parts of the White River I visited,
although there were plenty of black bears to keep me company.
