"Catch a vista of maples in that long light and you see Autumn glowing through the leaves.... The promise of gold and crimson is there among the branches, though as yet it is achieved on only a stray branch, an impatient limb or an occasional small tree which has not yet learned to time its changes." ~ Hal Borland

On Aztec Peak, off of forest road 487 of the Tonto National Forest, I drove to Workman creek at "The Falls" recreation site and bounded around the creek exploring. This is how most people enjoy the Autumn harmony of being creek-side, and to those adventurous types, a difficult hike upstream for the next hour or so can get you to the base of the 180 foot Workman Creek falls.
