South Mountain

South Mountains's is 16,000 acres of  pristine desert and more than 50 miles of trails.

The sights are superb, but let me tell you that the drive is not for novices, many twists and curves over a 20 min. drive.  If you are a white knuckle driver with heights, then you will wish you had stayed at home.  Outside rail coming down, no guard rails and narrow hairpin curves.

Other than the drive down, we enjoy the day.

Picture One has a rock on the mountain that looks like a large dinosaur head fossil.
Is this my imagination?

I lived in Phoenix from 1956 to 65..and used to take visitors to South Mountain for just the beautiful view of the city..'specially at night. Thanks for the memory..it was wonderful living there. Drove thru on the highway last month on the way to Tucson..didn't recognize anything but the street names. Ha.how time flies.. ~Barb
