Canyon Lake

Today we took a ride past the Superstitions mountains, on the Apache Trail up to Canyon Lake, in the Tonto National Forest and then on to Tortilla Flat's for a late lunch.  The scenic ride was wonderful, although being a flatlander, the road was high and very curvy.  Some areas were only 15mph and mostly no guardrails on these narrow roads full of hairpin curves.

We saw so many sagauro cactus, they were like little solders marching up the mountains. 

All I cound think of was Robert Louis Stevenson's poem; The Land of Counterpane.
