Saguaro Lake is a popular boating and swimming area just east of the Phoenix metropolitan area.  A man-made reservoir, it is formed on the Salt River (Rio Salado), behind Stewart Mountain Dam.  It is the lowest of the four reservoirs in the Salt River Canyon, along the north side of the Superstition Mountains.
   This picture was taken along the Butcher Jones Trail, on a very quiet day.  Be warned, it is not always this serene!
