Oak Creek Canyon

Took the day for a trip down Oak Creek Canyon, over to Prescott and east to Hwy 17 and back to Flagstaff.  It was more than 25 years since we had been there.  The canyon changed little but Prescott has grown a bit.  Still leftover thunder showers but basically beautiful weather.  Here are some photos of the canyon walls.  We had to shoot from the car due to traffic and the lack of stopping places.  Seems like a popular drive for the weekend.










Here is a 3ft dia boulder at the state park in Jerome.




Tomorrow we plan an afternoon up to the Grand Canyon.  Weather should be good.
