Do Not Enter When Flooded - Alvernon Wash II
Washes flow all through Tucson. Water rolls off of streets and landscape, and into the lower lying areas that wind through our city. It's an opportunity to see how human-built habitat and natural spaces collide. This is the north end of the Alvernon Wash, just past where the Columbus Wash flows in. The Alvernon wash empties into the Rillito River just northwest of here. It provides habitat, shade, and migration routes to numerous fauna and flora. In this case, it flows in a channel and creates a natural street divider.
You don't need to enter the wash to find this cache, and you definitely shouldn't enter if there is water flowing. Be smart and safe!
