The ride through the Hassayampa River was awesome.  We started in the valley then within 2 minutes we were on top of this narrow ridge.  This is the only place wide enough to pull off and catch our breath.  Wonderful ride.

 The trail continues around the bend still climbing up.

 Finally at the top, this view shows the grass.  First time we had seen grass in the desert.  We are at approx 3000 ft elevation.  And actually it warmed up after we got into the sun.  But it was still pretty cold.

 This is where I screamed like a girl every time my wheels came off the ground.  The only reason you could not hear Terry screaming is because he was drowned out by the guys.  Well, maybe not!

 A miners ranch along the Hassayampe River.  The mine was scattered throughout the walls of the canyon.

 The water was running.  We crossed it several times along the way.  I did get wet but I had no choice.  Water splashed up onto my leg.

 This is the way out of the box canyon next time.  "There will be no screaming allowed on the next trip guys".  This time we back-tracked and took another trail around.

 This is the box canyon.  The rock formations were gorgeous. Too narrow to drive the quads.  Besides, it led no where.  Duh!!  It is a box canyon.

This was a sissy rock to climb over.  No squeals here.  Come join us!!
