48.42 Arizona: Tonto National Forest: Apache Trail and Salt Lake close to Roosevelt Lake.

Arizona boasts of at least 5 magnificent lakes, inter alia, that provide us with incredible enjoyment. The visuals are remarkable which include the ever-changing shades of blue, their shapes and surroundings which all include attractive mountains and hills, not to mention colorful desert scenes. Lakes Mead (mostly from Nevada), Powell, Havasu, Parker and Roosevelt are a treat. It's no wonder that one can partake of so many activities on the water, above the lakes on the surrounding mountains or find a spot to settle oneself and absorb the serenity, activity and animal life. And should one become bored (impossible), all the lakes but the latter have the additional feature of the incredible Colorado River as their feeders. Should that be insufficient, then how about Hoover, Glen Canyon, Davis, Havasu, Parker and Roosevelt Dams thrown in for good measure. By the way, we're only just beginning to tempt you.

The land of the cacti. Are these desert plants cheating at the water's edge?

Find it very attractive.
