After being pounded by high winds for 70 miles along highway 93, which is accurately described by other bloggers, as a road that curves through the desert like pulled taffy, we reached Burro Creek Campground. Burro Creek is a very clean BLM campground with water and toilets. The camping fee is a reasonable $14/night. It sits in a canyon well below the road with remarkable views of the surrounding peaks and canyon walls.
Our first night at the camp we were treated to continued high winds and a downpour that lasted all night. The next morning we awoke to calm clear skies and beautiful views. We spent the day hiking and exploring the area around the creek. Humming birds, ducks, Red-tailed hawks and golden eagles were abundant and a joy to watch. We also had quite a population of little lizards around. If you are ever traveling highway 93 through AZ, I recommend a stop at Burro Creek for a night or 2.
