Arizona - Canyon Lake - Cactus Family


Most people think of Arizona as one big desert. While that is true for much of Arizona, the state does have a few surprises such as Canyon Lake, one of four lakes formed by the damming of the Salt River. There is a marina which is also home to Dolly the Steamboat — offering sightseeing and dinner rides on the lake. A saguaro does not form arms until it is around a century old and 15 feet tall. So most of these are young'uns — I only see one with arms — who may be the parent.
