Imperial National Wildlife Refuge

I finally found time to visit this wonderful area. 

This is a long day trip from Phoenix so we only had time

to explore a very small part of this amazing place.
There is just so much to see and enjoy!!

From the Colorado River there are spectacular views! 

With a bit of a current, it is just a little slower going

and this day we had some wind to contend with also.

Still a magnificent day!!



This side channel was several miles long and was so

enchanting. We drifted with the current at a good clip and could

only hear the wind in the grass and trees.

This channel had no outlet, so had to return

against the current, but was still worth the effort.

There were NO people here on this Tuesday,
except at the Martinez Resort.

 Although not a real Resort, it is a good stop for food and drink, located at the
dock area of Fisher Landing where we put in.
I will be returning here soon to explore more of the lakes
and channels of the Colorado River!
