Slide Rock State Park, AZ
A very popular spot, so hard to take a photo without people or power lines🤔
Last year, I got a nice shot, but with power lines 🙃
This year, there are no power lines, but there are a few people (if you look closely). Still, I don’t think it’s too bad 😊
Fishing is not permitted in this area, but there are good fishing spots both upstream and downstream of the park.
