With their dendritic drainage patterns, the plateaus of the Arizona strip feature many "points." These are the ridge tops and elevated flats that have not yet eroded and which continue to stand between the canyons. I went to the confluence of Snake Gulch and Kanab Creek on Wednesday to observe an operation designed to test mountain sheep for pneumonia. The landing zone was atop Gunsight Point (above). On Thursday, I gave a brief presentation to a group of students from the Hopi Tribe. The site was downstream from Snake Gulch and to the east of Kanab Creek at a place called Locust Point (below). Whatever else can be said about them, the points provide scenic views.
