Tanque Verde Falls is one of the coolest places in Tucson. It is like a beach out in the middle of the desert!
Getting there is about a mile and a half hike up the stream bouldering over all the rocks.
There is a lot to see in the way of plant and animal life.
Part of the way up there are little waterfalls to cool off in.
Let it hit your shoulders and it is like a massage.
Once you get there it is refreshing to know you will be able to get in the water soon.
Since I’m a Savage I bring a blow up air mattress so I can float around out there.
Surprisingly there are a bunch of decent sized fish in the pool. I never saw any the last time I was there.
Some of the blue gill were about 6 to 8 inches long. There were some other ones that were blue and a little smaller that were mating.
I’m still perplexed as to how the fish could get there. Does anyone have any clue as to how this could happen?
