One of my favorite overlooked Prescott area places is the Agua Fria canyon. Starting more or less at the Bloody Basin Road where the road crosses a Real River With Water, the canyon heads on down to Black Canyon City. It's deep, rugged and seldom more than a mile or two from I-17. Today, most of the canyon is within the new Agua Fria National Monument; features (aside from free-running water) include major Indian ruins and petroglyphs. I bring up all this background because a photo essay on the canyon by Bruce Colbert has been posted at the Coyote Radio website; Bruce works for the Big Bug News, which serves the area from Black Canyon City up to Mayer and Humbolt.
Note: Krazy Kelvin from way Down Under in New Zealand has listed Walking Prescott at his 21 21 21 Great Blogs to Read. Give it a look-see; he reviews some interesting stuff there!
