1st (and only, with pics) stop   

Colorado River @ Diamond Creek, north of Peach Springs, AZ

► Driving from my dad's house to Flagstaff, AZ.  Took this drive to the Colorado River.  This is the only place in the Grand Canyon that you can drive your car all the way down to the river.  19 miles from where the pavement ends in Peach Springs, AZ.  Peach Springs elevation 4,813ft.  Diamond Creek Beach elevation 1,234ft.  That's 3,579 feet we drove down to the river.  

→ OBTW, no drones allowed 😔 (I checked with 2 different people hoping at least 1 would say yes).
