Although it is showing rain, it’s not much. Total rain forecasted for the day is less than a 1/4 inch.

The rain will make it for a perfect day and weather.

Little rain will help keep the dust down.

This is essentially our descent. Our trail begins a few miles north of the scenic Seven Springs camping area, just outside Carefree, Arizona, and winds through the New River Canyon (not to be confused with the mesa seen, as the canyon itself isn’t visible from this angle). The trailhead is located just before Monument Mountain, as shown below.

Hard to believe this is Arizona right now, given the unusually lush, mountainous desert scenery.
