This is one of the canals, now overgrown with weeds. the sides appear to have been concrete covered, but it is the calcium carbonate deposited on them by the running canal water from Montezuma's Well (see previous photo of sign).

The depth of the water is not know exactly, but at 55 feet depth the sandy bottom is churned by the inrushing water, which falls as rain and snow on the surrounding Mongollon Rim, and is absirbed by the ground at those high elevations, and then it filters down to the rock below the well and bubbles up. Really. The Mogollon Rim or is a topographical and geological feature cutting across the U.S. state of Arizona. It extends approximately 200 miles, starting in northern Yavapai County and running eastward, ending near the border with New Mexico.
