Description
A beautiful view of part of Tonto National Park and Lake Roosevelt from the Lower Cliff Dwellings.
People have lived in Tonto Basin for thousands of years. Prehistoric peoples, Apaches, and European settlers have all called it home. One of these groups, known by archeologists as the Salado, built the cliff dwellings that are still there today. The Lower Cliff Dwelling contains a few partially intact roofs. These are the original roofs. A roofed breezeway divides the dwelling in half, perhaps serving as a divider for two different family groups.
Theodore Roosevelt Lake is a large reservoir formed by Theodore Roosevelt Dam on the Salt River in Arizona as part of the Salt River Project, it is the largest lake or reservoir located entirely within the state of Arizona.

Once upon a time many years ago, I was night fishing that lake when I hooked into a monster fish. I struggled with it for around twenty minutes. Finally, in a last ditch attempt at freedom, the huge fish broke my line and escaped. Your image brought that memory back to me. Very nice presentation of it, Jurgen.
