Madera Canyon, Arizona

A Walk in the Woods

” Keep close to Nature’s heart…and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” -John Muir

Walk with me…

It’s that time of year again. I miss the crisp air and fall colors in my Indiana hometown. But I’ve discovered a hidden gem just a short drive from Tucson, Arizona. Madera Canyon “washes my spirit clean.” Breathe the cool, fresh air. Look around. Listen. Few words are needed. Come, walk with me…

See a blush of fall color…

Listen to the water dancing over the rocks. Feel the cool mountain stream…

Get in touch with a tree…

Wonder at ancient stones…

The circular depression in this boulder is a mortar used by prehistoric people to process wild plant food.

Delight in the unexpected

Renew…

Thanks Madera Canyon. We’ll come back soon.

  1. I feel extremely relaxed after reading your blog and seeing the matching photos. Maybe I’ll get there soon this autumn.
