Tell me the truth! Wouldn't you rather dance on a volcano?
Squaw Peak, an ancient volcano making up the "
geographic center" of Arizona, rises 3,500 feet above the Verde River.
During a previous eruption, a fiery mass of molten lava from the volcano
temporarily blocked the Verde River, forming a lake 20 miles long and 13
miles wide.
Nowadays, the Verde River is famous for Netleaf Hackberry, Desert Willow,
Fremont Cottonwood, Velvet Ash and Arizona Sycamore growing along its banks.
