Theodore Roosevelt Lake — Attraction in Globe

Photo 1-3) Located to the right as you pass through the bridge for the first time. Approximately .15 mile or so, look out for the sign as it is a bit hard to spot if you're driving too fast.

The differet shades of blues and turquoises of the water, the reds, terra cottas and sand-colored hues of the cliffs and rocks, the many shades of the greens of the saguaro, mesquite and other flora are breathtaking! In the spring and summer, the wildflowers are incredible as well as is the "bird life". We picnic at Cottonwood...it's quiet, usually clean, picturesque; and in the spring and summer, the white egrets, great blue herons and buzzards nest in the different large trees there. The surrounding areas, too, are all wonderful getaway places (but Cottonwood is free)! And there has been much more rain, too, so the water levels are up this year! Do we like...
