Here's a picture I found on flickr of the Verde River. My friends and I canoe this sometimes (the picture under my profile is of me on the Verde several years ago), and I've gone by this spot before. Bald eagles nest in this area, and because of this it is protected. One time we forgot where we were and got out of our canoes around this spot, and sure enough a helicopter quickly showed up to keep us from pillaging bald eagle scalps.
