Roosevelt Lake
$22.00
A reservoir on the Salt River, held back by the Theodore Roosevelt Dam since 1911. The water sits between the Superstition Wilderness and the Sierra Ancha, ringed by saguaros that come right down to the shoreline. The bridge that crosses it is a slim steel arch, painted the same blue as the lake on a clear morning. Houseboats drift in the coves below Schoolhouse Point. The desert does not usually keep this much water in one place, and the surface holds the sky in a way the surrounding country never does.
