A curve in the creek . . . ***permit required in advance*** Please practice \u2018Leave no trace\u2019 principles when enjoying the outdoors. For this camping trip, it was great to see no garbage, no toilet paper in hidden spots, and although we picked up and carried out the items we found, including two ball caps, one trekking pole, one purple buff, one REI Adventure Guide nametag from one Cindy Anderson, these were all clearly unintentional losses and not people leaving garbage behind. I also left behind a lens cap that came off somewhere unknown, and I hope if someone finds it they carry it out. It was great to see such care taken of this beautiful wilderness. #aravaipacanyon #arizonawilderness #nationalforest #findyouroasis #getbacktonature #arizonalandscape #arizonalandscapes #puresouthwest #theearthoutdoors<\/a><\/p>\n
