Aravaipa Canyon....what to say other than even this Atheist would call it heavenly. Jerry and I spent 2 nights camped across from Booger Canyon (as in that which comes from the nose). We explored a section of that branch as well as Hell's Hole Canyon, aka Deer Creek. I'm gonna stop now and let the pictures, this map, and the following link do most of the talking: http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/arolrsmain/aravaipa.html .

The "trail" is the creek
The "Hole" from which Hell's Hole Canyon may get its name
Or is this the "hole? Spring grotto deep in Hell's Hole
Like something out of terrarium
Ubiquitous vegetation, home to some 10+species of fish, some of which are threatened/endangered

Wide but beautiful load
