essay bro:
Chavez Creek with all its forks and their
box canyons have many wonderful waterfalls. However it is private land that is a subdivision of 40-acre
lots selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars each. This makes enjoying these falls really
simple…. Just buy one of those wonderful lots and take a hike to see the
falls. It’s easy.
