Canals carve through this urban landscape in a remarkable way providing opportunities to walk, run or ride through terrain that is independent from the grid of city streets. The experience of traveling along these essential utility corridors is tempered and expanded by the cinematic qualities of water

as it reflects desert sky.

The Crosscut Canal pathway offers an irresistible invitation to imagine gliding into the water as it sweeps down under McDowell Road. Images of swimmers sandblasted onto these tunnel walls depict a dream of swimming through the portal between the city and the desert.
