We spent the day cruising the Tonto Trail, descending into creeks along the way – Travertine, Hermit and Monument Creek. In between the trail climbs up on the plateau and hikes closer to the edge, providing amazing vistas into the Colorado River below.
Descending into Monument Creek we couldn’t but be awed by the giant natural rock column that is probably the namesake for this creek.
Finally on the beech of the Colorado River at Grand Rapids we enjoyed the warm late afternoon sunlight and the view of this amazing river.
