Phoenix Trip

[nativetexan]

Alright folks, just got back from my Phoenix trip late last night and wanted to post a few pics of the mountainous areas I visited. Some are taken in the Papago Park area in Tempe, and some are in the Superstition Mountains about 30 miles east of Mesa. I was happy I got to go hiking. It's been so long. There is no shortage of lizards in these areas. :D Everytime I took a step, one spooked.

Cool pics! Arizona has some really neat looking landscape. My grandparents drove down to Colorado to see some of my step-grandpa's relatives, then they decided that since they were that far they'd go down and see the Grand Canyon. The pics they got were amazing, sure makes me want to go down and see it for myself! :cool:

[toddyboman]

WOW guess I need to put Arizona on the list of places I need to visit!!;)

Great pics :):)

nice pics... I went to Phoenix a few times last year to visit my ex. Arizona has a lot of neat places to visit... I went to Sedona and the Grand Canyon on one trip and Tombstone on another. :cool:

[nativetexan]

I was kicking around going to the Grand Canyon or Tombstone. I couldn't decide, so I went to Cabelas and bought a t-shirt instead. :D
