Today was our last ATV ride of this season! Sniff! Sniff! We will certainly miss our ATV friends!!!
We went northwest of Benson, to ride the J Six Ranch, going through Ash Canyon. The scenery was amazing, simply amazing. Fantastic mountainsides, a great variety of cactus and plants, and then a beautiful river valley studded with gorgeous white sycamores. They seemed to grow in groups set in an oval. The white trunks and branches gave marvelous contrast to the other colors of Arizona...which are unbelievably green!
sycamores were all along the river
Our ride was shortened though, because of the melting snow of the mountains. The creeks were wide and deep with water. We finally had to turn around when we came up to very swiftly moving river that also cut deep into the riverbed. When we returned to the staging area we had lunch and a really nice long visit with our group of Pat and Charlie, Rick and Kristina, and Jerry and Vickie.
water was over our route frequently
We have been able to see so much of Arizona that we never would have been able to without ATVing. It has been a great experience. We had a sad farewell hugging our friends goodbye, but we know we will back next year!
Nice to see you having too much fun, and as always sad to go, where you heading now?
