I thought it was wall-to-wall desert until I moved here... there are even places you can ski in the winter, believe it or not.

There are creeks close to Phoenix - Queen creek, Cave Creek, Fossil Creek. The queen creek source in superior AZ is a beautiful hike with great bird watching perches

Beware of the creek in Queen Creek. Tons of rattle snakes there

Yeah it does, though I was driving with my dad across country from Arizona once and we were like what is up with these rivers, they have water in them.

I have absolutely no idea beyond my best guess of rocks and dirt.

Haha it’s the Colorado River - that’s what formed the canyon in the first place.
