Passing Goldfield Mining Camp on the left you begin the climb to Canyon Lake. On the way back I saw a sports car that had missed one of the hairpin turns that had landed over 100 yards down the canyon. I had passed an ambulance going slowly before I saw the wreck. A bad sign for the driver I fear.
Tortilla Flats has a Post Office/Store/Souvenir Shop and Restaurant. You literally saddle up to the bar on saddles, and they have about 90,000 dollars stuck on the walls.
Canyon Lake is part of a string of lakes that hold and feed water to Phoenix in addition to the Canal water. It has some beautiful boat rides that cut through the mountains. My first year here I water skied and snow skied in Arizona in the same month.
