I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful.
Harquahala Mountain is the highest mountain in southwest Arizona at 5600 feet. It’s summit is also a National Landmark. There are old mining camps along the way and an old observatory at the top. The views are stunning and it’s one of those places to hear quiet.
And while I usually look for wildflowers in April, no rain promised we will look forward to next season. Ironic to think Harquahala means running water. No doubt the landscape looked a little different to the Yavapai people.
A look in the distance shows the road on the side of the mountain. It ascends 4000′ over ten miles.

Today? Thank goodness for serendipity. Usually we are searching for the wildlife, and today the bighorn sheep found us.


Harquahala is certainly a great place to watch the sunrise…or set. Today it is the perfect spot for a picnic break and time to watch the day go by.

That’s our kind of trail! (We enjoy adventures like this in our Jeep.)
What beautiful views! And the Big Horns found you… isn’t that just the sweetest.
Wasting the day away on top of a mountain… it just doesn’t get any better then that.
Enjoy your week my new friend…

I have only been back to blogging for a few months. Glad to be back, trying to find my flow again. Thank you. It was a great road trip. I always find the journeys, but kudos to my husband for actually driving them. I live north of Phoenix. We landed here a nine years ago and love it. Spend lots of time traveling north in the summer, and live in the pool. lol. I love Prescott, especially in the summer. I will look at your challenge. I love adding quotes to my work. It is usually what I feel. Donna

So we must be pretty close. We just bought a condo in Scottsdale to use as an Air BnB. I’ve been going between Prescott and Scottsdale a lot getting it set up. Send me your email or phone # in my contact box. We can text and/or call.
