Back in the water and paddling downstream,
we stopped at a canyon Rick hadn’t explored
before. This turned out to be a simple hike up
Moonscape Canyon, to a wonderful hot pool
below a little waterfall. Our final destination

beneath the "Catwalk"
for the day was the pull out for Arizona Hot
Springs, where we set up camp and were
supposed to hike up to yet another hot
springs. But by this time, I was down to my
last pair of dry shoes and was hot-springed
out, opting instead for a glass of wine and a
bit of down time.
The last day was a nine-mile paddle to the
take out at Willow Beach. Finally, we could
dig into the water and test our
strength and skills with the
canoe. It was a strenuous haul
that was made more difficult
with the headwinds, but it was
so peaceful, beautiful, and full of
interesting remnants of pre-dam
river management activities.
For me, this was a great
introduction to river tripping,
canyoneering, camping, and
all kinds of other non-hiking
things. I could pass on the 12-
hour poundings my sister seems
to enjoy. But I want to do a lot
more of this stuff!! (Submitted
