We spent this afternoon at South Mountain in Phoenix. I heard about it on the news the other night and we decided to check it out. It's only a little over 2,300 ft., but the road going up to it is really curvy and narrow. Bob was a real trooper and drove just fine. :-) The views from the top were great, although it would have been better if it wasn't an overcast day.

I think this is Mesa-Gateway Airport from Dobbins Lookout
Rock formations on the mountain
TV antennas near the top
Saguaro cactus on the moutain
I saw this bird and had to catch it on the fly (pun
intended) because there was a car behind us. Not
sure if it's a golden eagle or what it is.

Would this be partly sunny or partly cloudy? :-)
