Rim Country

Thunderstorms in the area all day. Had visions of an incredible sunset so found a spot on the edge of the Rim. Not what my minds eye envisioned but a beautiful end to Fourth of July day.

The OW Ranch headquarters sits at the confluence of Canyon and Mule Creeks. The ranch has its own hydroelectric power and irrigation for crops. Isolated but WOW beautiful....

Upstream from the OW Ranch is the Canyon Creek Fish Hatchery. The hatchery relies on three springs at the base of the Mogollon Rim that feed Canyon Creek. Canyon Creek has native browns as well as rainbows from the hatchery. It flows 30 miles to its confluence with the Salt River.

Canyon Point at the top of the Rim provides an "aerial" view of Canyon Creek Fish Hatchery at the Rim's base. It takes 24 to 30 months to grow the trout to catchable size. This will be a future destination as they tell me there is a riparian area with lots of wildlife viewing.....

May 18th Willow Springs Lake. Strong winds with snow flurries. Parking lot was full last weekend. Empty today.

Hiking the back side of Willow Springs Lake. Was hoping to see the Osprey feeding.

This is why it's called Rim Country. A 200 mile long 1,000' plus escarpment from western Yavapai County almost to New Mexico. Rim elevations 7 to 8,000' with base of 5 to 6,000'.

Sink holes have plenty of water. Loved the greens and reflections.
