When you think of Arizona, you should think of rivers. It wasn’t that long ago that the state was full of them. Little Colorado and San Francisco, Salt and San Pedro, Gila and Santa Cruz, Blue and Verde, some flowing north from Mexico, some flowing south from Utah, and a great many meeting in the middle; it would have been hard to have come to Arizona and not stumble across a river when your grandparents or great-grandparents were kids.
