Last year Arizona was so rainy that the view of Chocolate Falls 
          was unusually spectacular. However, in Spring 2009 the falls shrinks 
          substantively due to lack of water. I hiked with several energetic 
          young men who never gave up. They insisted to explore the falls, and 
          our persistence was rewarded. Last year we could not get close to the 
          bottom of falls because the edge was muddy, but this year we were able 
          to climb up to the middle section. The photo above was taken in the 
          heart of the falls.
