essay bro:
Chama Canyon’s “slickrock” sandstone framed
with thick dark Douglas Fir timber makes as beautiful of a canyon as I have
ever seen…. Aragon Falls just makes it better…..!!!!!!!! Aragon Creek is usually dry where it
conflues with the Chama River because immediately below the falls the water
flow soaks into the porous streambed.
