| 116 This is the end of the Palm Canyon run.
| 117 2-19-2018 This is the entrance to, "Tonto Bridge State Park" in Arizona near Payson just north east of Phoenix.
That is not a native to this area. Will tell the name of it when I remember.

| 125 This little stream of water created a rainbow you can see in the some of the following photos.
| 126 A stream runs under Tonto Bridge and flows towards where I took this photo.
|
127 See the little rainbow?
| 128 There it is again!
| 129 Looking upstream plus the rainbow.
|
130 One last time for the rainbow.
| 131 We went closer to the opening and I zoomed to get this photo. This is looking up stream.

| 134 Down stream
| 135 Down stream
|
136
| 137 And this is looking down stream.
| 138 The first photo's looking down stream were taken across the canyon from that observation point.
|
139 This photo is taken across from the observation platform and looking up stream from the natural bridge.
| 140 These photos were taken from across that observation point
| 141 The bridge under the mud looking stuff is where the stream runs down stream under the natural bridge to the right.
|
142 The observation is almost straight across from where this photo was taken.
| 143
| 144 This was an all day trip around a mountain and what we found on that journey.

| 149 This is a very unique and very untypical Sguaro Cactus for sure. They have not quite figured out what causes it to look like this but they have a unique pattern that happens once in a while.
