... from Matt's trip to Devils Canyon
Just klick on the thumbnails to get bigger versions of the images. These are about 80kb in size and should fit on a 800x600 screen.
) At the upper end of Devils Canyon a small trail leads from the rim down to the canyon bottom. But already here we had to find our way through the brush. |
) After a rainy October there's a lot of water in Devils Canyon. Here we still try to cross the creek with dry feet ... without success, of course. |
) At this point in the canyon the creek is rather narrow, but has a strong current. Thus only a big step can help ... |
) A view downstream ... |
) Water is rare in Arizona. So you are lucky if you find it in a big amount, as at these nice waterfalls. |
) These devilish rock formations at the edge of the canyon are probably responsible for the canyon's name. Just imagine how they would look like in the moonlight ... |
) A bit downstream the canyon bottom is like a completely different world compared to the desert around, because of the lush riparian forest and the sounds of the running water. |
) I had to shot a picture of this tree, where the fall colors of the leaves make a great contrast to the white bark and the dark blue sky. This image is also published in a photo book of the International Library of Photography. |
) At this creek crossing not only the shoes became wet ... |
) ... but for taller people and with the right attitude even deeper water is not a problem at all. |
