I was in Prescott, AZ this week for a school conference and was able to spend some time in the Oak Creek Canyon of Northern Arizona. Oak Creek drops off of the Mogollon Rim and loses several thousand feet of elevation as it winds towards the Red Rocks of Sedona. This canyon is one of Arizona's most breathtaking sites. The northern and higher altitude side of the canyon is dominated by Ponderosa Pines. In the more riparian corners exist stands of Douglas Firs. Along the creek- bed itself are smaller deciduous trees including Western Sycamores and Cottonwoods. I spent the majority of my time tracking down a supposed 150 foot tall Sycamore. Instead I found some good looking" yellow bellies" aka Ponderosa Pines.
