Superstition mountains

Today we decided to go out and do some sight seeing. We went to the Superstition Mountains. It was awesome. The new truck did great all the way through. We took Tobey with, we had no idea how long we would be gone, and he loves to go for rides. We left at 11:00 this morning and got home at 7:00 tonight. Fun little 8 hour tour. It only takes about 45 min. to get there, so the rest of the time was sight seeing. Did you know there are lakes in the mountains? I had no idea. First we saw Canyon Lake. The pics there didn't turn out very good, but then we saw Apache Lake. Talk about gorgeous.

I know the pic isn't that great, but to see it is amazing.

Then we got to Roosevelt dam. Wow. I can't imagine what Hoover dam looks like. Huge is the only word to describe it.

Front and back view, then......

this is what waits behind the dam.....

This is Roosevelt Lake, and this suspended bridge is so big I couldn't get the whole thing in one shot. We had quit the surprise going through the canyon, because after the Canyon Lake the pavement ends, so you have to drive on tiny, sometimes one lane, gravel roads. They have incredibly tight corners and sharp angles both up and down. I have never been so happy to see pavement in my life.

So, that is how we spent our Saturday. It was actually a lot of fun, even though it was kinda freaky on those tiny little roads. Pictures do not do these places any justice at all. If you ever get the chance I highly recommend seeing these places in person.
