Watson Lake in Granite Dells, Arizona Jan 30, 2018

The cliffs in the Granite Dells of central Arizona are popular with rock climbers. Watson Lake—a reservoir created when a dam was built on Granite Creek—is a draw for fishing enthusiasts and attracts many visitors with canoes, kayaks, and other water craft. If you want to blend in with the locals, take Peavine Trail from Prescott into the Granite Dells.
