Testimonials

Spend just a few minutes at Black Canyon Heritage Park and you'll fall in love with Arizona all over again. Green, shady and teeming with life, visitors are serenaded by splashing water, a chorus of birdsong, and the soft heartbeat of butterfly wings. It's a wonderful reminder that a few determined people really can change the world, one small oasis at a time."
