POST #53  

Today we drove back to Saguaro Lake...the reservoir we drove by on the way here to Usery Mountain Regional Park, AZ.

Saguaro Lake is the fourth reservoir on the Salt River formed by the Stewart MountainDam in Arizona. The lake is off State Route 87, about halfway between Phoenix and the ghost town of Sunflower. The dammed end of the lake is at an elevation of 1,506 feet.

This is the Marina and Restaurant just behind the dam...you can see the crest of the dam in the background...

A lot of spectacular rock formations around here....All lava and welded volcanic ash from the massive eruptions at the nearby Superstition Mountains...

This is a deposit of the same welded volcanic ash that is visible in the layer at Signal Mountain near our campsite...

It was another nice day...got to 81 degrees!  And a nice lake in the Desert!

Until next time!
