one of the largest
municipal parks in the
country (16,000 acres).
The Administration Buildings
are made of stone.
Wood is a precious commodity
in southern Arizona.
We start the five and a half-mile drive to Dobbin's Lookout.
Horse Trail Crossing
Ahead
Saguaro Cacti rise from
their Nurse Trees.
A shaded picnic area,
made of stone.
Share the road with bicyclists.
Everyone needs to be cautious
on this narrow road.
The road twists & turns
up the mountain.
The view from a mountainside pull-off.
I think the stone structure
was build for hikers.
There are lots of trails in
this park.
We will follow the road in
the distance to the peak.
Visitors & bicyclists
enjoy the view.
Vendors sell jewelry,
pottery in the
parking lot.
Dobbin's Lookout.
This is the second-highest point in Phoenix. Camelback Mountain's peak is about 370 feet taller.
Looking north at the City of Phoenix. It covers 517.7 square miles.
Looking to my right I see
a Cairn.
Hikers pile up rocks to
mark trails.
Eric takes photos with
his phone....
... including a selfie.
Looking down, I see a hiker
on a mountainside trail.
Our drive down the
mountain....
The car, on the right, is
following us.
We stop at a pull-off &
find a couple enjoying
the view.
The winding road is
carefully marked.
A Helicopter flying over
the park.
I hope no one's lost.
My last shot of Saguaro &
South Mountain Park is beautiful! Thank you Eric, for choosing today's drive.
