Sign for Entering Aravaipa Canyon

There were tall plateaus near the mouth of the canyon

Much of the hike was through the stream in this narrow canyon

Some of the trail was dusty, but we saw some neat plants, like this flowering cactus

I took this picture of the flowers and canyon walls with Jeanette in mind; thought she would like it!

I started out sleeping under this lightweight shelter. but only made it half the night since the bugs were unbearable - luckily Peter had a two-man tent

We hiked up a side canyon on one of the days we were there
