|  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

|
 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.
