Falling Down on the Job There’s a waterfall “hidden” northeast of the intersection of 56th Street and Indian School Road in Phoenix. It’s the site of a modern-day hydroelectric power plant built at a descent in the Arizona Canal, but no one needs a utility badge to get within misting distance. At Arizona Falls, a turbine toils inside the building, while exploration decks and perforated platforms offer leisurely vantages. Ten sittin’ stones, each just big enough for a nuzzling couple or a few children to share—were thoughtfully installed in front of the central waterfall when the site was overhauled in 2003. G.R.
