Gifford Canyon isn't the most beautiful or photogenic canyon, but it is wonderfully serene.
A typical view in Gifford Canyon -- sandy and desolate.
An old stone wall near the mouth of the canyon... used to regulate water perhaps?
Looking back down into a slickrock bowl.
Common to many washes in the East Canyon, rusty oxide seeps mix with clay/sand to produce a
wonderful quicksand. Always a joy to trudge through!
The vegetation thrives on the runoff water of passing storms.
Looking at a temporary waterfall during a rainstorm from a perch above the west side of Gifford Canyon.
Closer view of the impressive waterfall.
Gifford Canyon in water mode. Usually the canyon is mostly dry.
