"Evening in Tonto National Forest"
2 pics have her looking out at the distant mountain ridges & the other 2 have the mountain tops from a distance, along the ridge line. One pic has some small cactus species & other plants on the ground in the foreground. (The cactus is small & near the ground, not like the big tall ones.)

Tonto National Forest
is a beautiful, wild place

Parts of the region
have been sacred
to the Apaches,

long before the settlements of our 🇺🇸

Eisenhower in 1955
saw value in the preservation of this incredible landscape.

"Bob Bear Trail aka Fossil Springs Trail... leads to Fossil Creek Falls,
a breathtaking spot with Crystal clear water, a large cave & waterfall"
The water seen in the video, inside of a cave is a beautiful turquoise blue+green & so very clear that it looks like glass. It is incredible!

Tonto National Forest in Arizona has beautiful hidden water caves, filled with clear blue water.

Amazing trails lead to breathtaking waterfalls.

Once mining has depleted
the aquifers, these
treasures will disappear.

Salt River wild horses
Tonto National Forest
#Nature #EarthDay

In an area of standing water or in a  stream, wild horses are scattered about in this dry land of Arizona. Two horses were standing on hind legs in confrontation - their mouths seem to be touching or biting each other, a great moment snapped by the photographer! Their front legs are also connected in the moment!

Tonto National Forest
is a beautiful place,

where wild horses
& other wildlife roam free.

It absolutely will suffer if
mining depletes its aquifer,

at a daily amount equaling what the city of Phoenix uses
