Of all my trips to Arizona over the years I had never seen nature like this area of the Apache Trail. It was peaceful and beautiful. The trees had different colors around the lake. The cactus appeared larger around the lake. The mountains are called Superstition Mountains - based on a legend of the Lost Duchman's Gold Mine. People over the years have died searching for it around the area. Many believe it is cursed.
Lakes and ponds not usually found each time you drive around for hours in Arizona. I would visit this area again as it's close to where my relatives live and I'd love to see it at sunset or sunrise.
Have you visited a desert with a lake?
Absolutely beautiful pictures Lisa! I especially love that first one!
ReplyDeleteWe've been to Hoover Dam and Lake Meade, but I don't think it is nearly as picturesque as this lake. Your first photo is simply stunning.
