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 (I didn't know this was here before seeing it January 2019, and now September), with spectacular rhyolite cliffs, and abundant desert flora. Cave Creek Canyon has been dubbed, βArizonaβs Yosemite.β It is part of the Coronado National Forest Recreation Area.
It is at the intersection "Where Two Deserts Meet," the Chihuahuan Desert and the Sonoran Desert. It's one of the premier areas for biological diversity in the Northern Hemisphere.
You access this splendor, from the tiny town of Portal, which sits at the mouth of the Canyon.
Standing before me, on this beautiful Autumn morning in November, is a colorful lichen-covered, sculpted edifices of stone, looking as though paint has been spilled down their surfaces. At the feet of these stone walls, are layers of pine-oak woodland, adorned with "Autumn Aura" here at Cave Creek Canyon.
Ah, the colors of fall, and a beautiful blue sky.
