| Two hours by van to one of the most unique, travertine dominated
streams and riparian areas in Arizona. The flows were restored to the creek
on June 18, 2005 after almost 100 years by Arizona Public Service when the
company agreed to decommission two small hydropower facilities. The story
of this restoration is as fascinating as the birds should be. Expect a typical
suite of riparian birds in early spring. Some uneven terrain hiking, and
possibly hot sun at times, 30 miles of rough roads total. Box lunch included.
