Two more from Fossil Springs in Central AZ

Aaron, again, nice water. Very cool and refreshing and the softness of the stream is extra nice.

So did the name come from fossils that are found in the riverbed?

Thanks Schmoo-

The name comes from the water being rich in minerals that create the travertine formations and the aqua colored water. Havasupai Falls and the creeks around Tonto Natural Bridge (largest travertine bridge in the world) are also rich in this mineral matter.

Great shots, love the soft water. Hey, I'm no maven here but I'm wondering if a slightly faster speed may reduce the glare of the highlights.
