I stayed 2 nights at the Hotel Willow Creek, W. Grapevine Cyn, in 2018. Woke up to this first morning. Doesn't look much like Arizona, but that's why I love this shot!

It rained for an entire day between Grandview and Tanner on this hike in 2018, but before the weather went south, I got this S. Supplee homage at Lipan Point.

Hiking out; rain on and off all the day before, lightning flashing all night across the River. I looked behind me at one point and saw THIS. I liked the echo of Serena Supplee, but I also HUSTLED!

I have always associated the Tanner with a lot of weather, and this hike was no exception. I caught this interplay of light and shadow about halfway down.
