WHERE IS THIS?

With a Paddle

Formed in the early 1900s when a creek near Arizona's first Territorial capital was dammed, this body of water is known for its distinctive granite rocks. Kayakers revel in the reservoir's glassy waters, while rock climbers clamber up the surrounding boulders. A National Recreation Trail with a vegetal name twists around the shore, cutting through a nearby eponymous riparian preserve. Cerulean waters, sun-warmed granite and clear mountain air ... those are the clues.

IF ONLY IT WERE THIS EASY TO FRESHEN THE AIR.

We all know that trees take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen through photosynthesis - making them nature's air fresheners. Which means trees may help slow global climate change. That's why it's so important to protect and replace them. Now you can join SRP and the U.S. Forest Service in reforesting Arizona land recently destroyed by fires. The task of planting thousands of ponderosa pine seedlings is enormous but vital. You can help by signing up for the Trees for Change program and electing to add $3 to your monthly bill. SRP will match your contribution, with 100% of the funds going to Arizona tree planting efforts. To help, visit srpnet.com/trees.
