Description
π Come visit more biodiverse beauty, in my gallery "Cave Creek Cnyn Portal AZ" π
Nestled in the Chiricahua Mountains of Southeastern Arizona, 150 miles east of Tucson, lies Cave Creek Canyon, a hidden gem (as I didn't know this was here before), with spectacular rhyolite cliffs, pine-oak woodland, serene flowing streams, and abundant flora. Cave Creek Canyon has been dubbed, βArizonaβs Yosemite.β It is part of the Coronado National Forest Recreation Area.
You access this splendor, from the tiny town of Portal, which sits at the mouth of the Canyon. Standing on Portal Road at sundown, one can see a full panoramic view of the Chiricahua Mountain Range, including the famous landmark, Cathedral Rock.

Another incredible blue sky-scape Janet! It is moody and powerful and absolutely amazing how you captured the clouds mimicking the shape of the mountains as if sliding into the perfect puzzle slot. Brilliant! :)

Jerry and I just returned from this place for some autumn glory and snow capped mountains. This image was our first time there, this past January, arriving late in the day, as we had a prior engagement nearby. So time was limited. It was our hope to view it in the spring, but didnβt make it until late summer and now fall. I look forward to sharing more of the awesome beauty of Cave Creek Canyon, Coronado National Forest, Arizona. Thank you Amy for taking the time to stop by my gallery and sharing your lovely thoughts about my photography. I really appreciate it! Janet π

Janet Marie replied:
Aww, Eva, thank you for your wonderful thoughts about my artwork. It was at sundown and heavy with clouds at this point. Hence producing those dramatic skies. Itβs a new hidden gem we have discovered and we will be back in the spring. I am delighted the feelings it evoked in you, as you expressed. I also appreciate you choosing this as one of your favorites. πππ

This was one impressive hidden gem of a place, Janet. All these years, many trips to the western part of these huge mountains but never to this remote part near Portal. This view is the one that welcomes everyone....Fav / like
