Description This is an example of the reason why I have procrastinated in submitting more of the Arizona images from January 2008. There are so many that are as good or better than this one that I can't decide which are best... and I do not want to just fill this gallery with image after image of Arizona. Just the very best. I will put most of the images on another website eventually and link these for those who would like to see every single one.

This is the first image I am submitting from the day we drove up the Apache Trail with my Aunt Jenny and her husband Ken. Ken is part of a group of volunteers who do horseback rescue in the canyons of the Superstition Mountains. So he knows these mountains very well. I will have to depend on them to help me remember where I took all of these beautiful images. They named every landmark along the way, but I was way too busy drinking in the beauty and snapping photos to take notes.

This first one is Canyon Lake, it was taken out the window of the moving car, as were most of the images I shot that day, so there were no do-overs to be had. The time went way too fast.... Much more to come.

Ahhh, I see. People from around here do that all the time as well. If you get a chance consider going to Tortilla Flats. The drive is so worth it.

It is at the edge of the Phoenix metropolitan area. It's like LA you can't tell when you leave one town and enter the next. The Superstition Mountains are alongside Mesa and Apache Junction, East of Phoenix. The Superstition Freeway runs straight from Phoenix into the Superstition Mountains. It is maybe 20 or 30 miles. The entire metropolis is maybe 40-50 miles from edge to edge with Phoenix pretty much at the center. If you have Google Earth, it will be easy to find if you enter Tortilla Flats into the search.
