  • We drove around the Verdin Gorge area during early October and took our time enjoying the fall colors and stopping at most viewpoints for over four hours so we only touched the surface of this gorgeous (pun intended :) ) area. Not many cars were on the road during our visit and the water level appeared to be very low.
