The history of Mills Canyon is fascinating. The scale of Melvin Mills Orchard Ranch, formally named The Mills Canyon Enterprise, is simply extraordinary. He planted over 14,000 fruit trees covering hundreds of acres in the Canadian River valley. The orchard produced tons of peaches, pears, apples, plums, apricots, cherries, walnuts, chesnuts and almonds.

We drive as far as we can go into the canyon and discover flooding of the Canadian River (pictured above). It's an incredible site to see and hear.

An amazing number and variety of flowers are blooming in the canyon. Most surprising are the bluebonnets (pictured above) that are seemingly everywhere in the massive sandy flat along the Canadian River.

On our last morning we savor one last look at the Canadian River before packing up and making our way out of Mills Canyon. We see ANTELOPE! One of them (pictured above) came right to us as it was looking to locate the rest of the herd.
