SHOW LOW, AZ

We left the San Carlos Apache Reservation while the palm tree trimmers removed the frost-kill fronds with high-lift and chainsaw.  We headed north on Hwy 60.


Between Globe and Show Low, AZ a set of switchbacks through the White Mountains are as spectacular as any I've ever traveled.


At the bottom of Salt River Canyon the Salt River erosion has created a cleft that takes second only to the Grand Canyon.



With the higher elevation in Show Low, AZ,  the nights were going to be cooler so we thought it best to fill up the propane tank in case we needed to warm up using the furnace.



Juniper berries



Red, Ponderosa or Lodge Pole Pine,  refreshing to see trees that grow back home.

The temperature drops fast after the sun sets at an altitude of 6,500 ft.
