Happy to share panoramic view of Salt River at Apache Trail scenic drive. Did you know that the Salt River begins in eastern Arizona where the Black and White rivers meet. The entire watershed, which comes out of the White Mountains, is 13,000 square miles, fed by snowmelt, rain and mountain streams. The river itself is about 200 miles long. Just below the Black-White confluence are salt banks, which raise the salinity of the water. Have a good day! Maria #Arizona #usa #apachetrail #scenicdrive
