Gorge of No Return

Sparse desert plants frame the Verde River Gorge. The river has sliced through thick layers of basalt deposited by ancient volcanoes. After weaving through cat-claw, there's ONE possible way to reach the river from here. However, I was content to stand quietly and listen to the river's roar, as it follows the course to AZ's Sonoran Desert. January 25, 2009

Geez, Bob - Aren't we up too late?

Thanks - I didn't want to be too specific as
far as the botany and geology goes.

It's a neat area, and what's neat about it was the complete absence of human beings!
