Aravaipa was on my friend's bucket list, and we managed to get a permit to go before the busy season started. We went for two nights (the max they allow) - hiked in one day, day hiked the next, then hiked out. It's a lot of "find the trail" and frequent creek crossings, but was well worth any trouble. We took our time, enjoyed our PERFECT campsite, the beautiful scenery, and the awesome weather.
Would make this trip again if I get the chance, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone interested!

We found a little island to have lunch on. (sorry the picture is sideways, my first time posting photos!)

Lots of beautiful cliff faces climbing right up out of the creek.

Lots of hiking in the creek, but luckily the weather was warm enough the cold water wasn't too bad.

Our perfect flat camp site with a couple trees for me (I'm gonna work on converting my friend to a hammock!)

A natural little fire pit at our campsite.
