We took a day to take a drive into the desert region Northeast of Apache Junction to go see the desert landscaping to include Canyon Lake. The lakes out here are all man made, by building dams at the end of canyons. This makes for a neat looking lake with canyon walls for the sides. The day we went was just a few days after a snow fall had hit the high desert and some of the mountains had snow still on them. My favorite is a mountain called Four Peaks. Yes there are four peaks on that mountain but it was a little hard to see that day due to the weather.
We made it to a little stage coach stop called Tortilla Flats that is more of a ghost town but it has a gift shop and we also got ice cream from the small bakery before returning home.
Lots of pictures of Arizona Desert and Canyon Lake, and Four Peaks. Enjoy.
