When you're on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere,
you'd think you could stop to take a picture without blocking
traffic, right? - Wrong, I managed! Echinocereus engelmanni - strawberry
hedgehog |

The view of Sycamore Canyon from the trailhead's
parking area. |
 |
Rock Formations at the mouth of the canyon. |

One of my Arizona hiking buddies. |
 |
The first part of the trail travels through a wooded area, quite
removed from the streambed. The view is looking back towards the
mouth of the canyon. |
 |
I ventured down a side path to a pool, just in
time to see this Heron land. I could barely get a shot or two in at max
telephoto. See the story for details. |
 |
Backed off on the telephoto to show the small
pool the Heron had landed in - yes he is still visible - barely! |
 |
Summers Spring, yeah, I got chewed out by the
editor-in-chief for leaving my pack in the picture! I think she said
something about re-shooting...... |
 |
Closer look at Summers Spring, no backpack
issues here. |

One of the guide books said to watch for river
otters but I don't think these two are what the author had in mind! There
is a popular swimming hole near the 1.6 mi. mark. |
