welcomed passengers aboard for its cruise around the lake and upriver through the canyon. After lunch we meandered further out along the shore to a gravel beach and boat launch. Tall cottonwood trees spread

Even though Phoenix is a big, crowded city, it’s a great place to take a walk on the wild side.
