Arizona: A favorite state: Lakes, rivers and other bodies of water in a desert region: Following Jen and the Colorado River much of the time.

  Once again, it is an impossible task to select photographs that best illustrate the beauty, capture the rugged land and mountains, plus the surprising amount of water. Thanks mainly to the Colorado River, water allows for survival and creates unique and most attractive scenes. 

  The many years of hiking in this state have never ceased to amaze us while still managing to keep most of its attractions hidden. Nevertheless, how fortunate we are to have seen, albeit a relatively small amount of its treasures, while being stunned on many, many occasions. A remarkable concept of it all is that for each visit, the experience is different, thereby creating a unique and fulfilling occasion.

Maybe, surreal...whatever that means.

Antelope Canyon kayaking. We've enjoyed being on (in) the water on many occasions but prefer it on the rocks...in a manner of speaking.
Jen heads down to the Colorado to cool off.
A whole horseshoe at Spenser.
More snow in Tonto.
Enjoying the expanse of blue water and harsh but attractive desert and mountains.
So much more, but so little space.
