Wallet Card #8- Local Geography



Thousands of years ago there was a lot of water in what is now Northern Arizona and it has affected the landscape in odd and wonderful ways with the most popular being the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon but in my immediate area there is an area of small canyons that have the most unique features created by running water. 

I don’t think there is an actual name for the area but it is west of my town between where I live and northern Prescott. The cool thing is that the early settlers to the area didn’t alter the area at all, the town was built south of the canyons and now that there are neighborhoods in the vicinity they are designed around the cliffs so the natural beauty was not changed.
