We were on the road this morning before 8am. It is best to try and get an early start to avoid the heat.

We stopped at some ancient cave dwellings built into the rocks in Tonto National Forest.

The tools they used to make flour.

The view from the top was pretty cool.

We saw a coyote as we walked down but he moved too fast to get a photo of him.

We then went to see a natural bridge, also in the Tonto NF.

We were going to camp, but the radio kept interrupting with a siren and warnings about a severe thunderstorm in the area. So we booked into a hotel with this stunning view from our deck.
