I'm not sure this is the right place to post about a non-boating vacation, but at least it does have some pics of boats in the thread....
GW and I have been at our place in the Phoenix area for a week or so and decided to take a mini-vacation while we were here. We booked at room at Loew's Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson. Our plan was to come home on Sunday to watch the Seahawks/Bucs game but that changed when we started looking at a map and decided to head to the small town of Globe, AZ. We stayed Sunday night in Globe then headed to Lake Roosevelt, Tortilla Flat, then back home. It ended up being about a 450 mile trip but we saw some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen.
I've posted some pics so c'mon along...
Here's where we stayed in Tucson....
Here's a shot taken between Tucson and Globe...
We left Globe Monday morning and headed to Lake Roosevelt...
Roosevelt Dam....
And the bridge over the dam....
(CONT)
Here are some more scenery shots from the Apache Trail between Roosevelt and Tortilla Flat. This headwall at the end of a long canyon has to be about 1500' tall and at least 1/2 mile side to side.
This cave was in that same area. Check out the smoke on the cave ceiling. I wonder how many Indian fires were built in there...
