Week before last hubby and I went to breakfast and then a little drive to White Tank Mountain Park.
We haven't gone there in over 20 years and was surprised at all the growth of houses and businesses on the drive there. It is located west-central Maricopa and encompasses 29,291 acres of desert and mountain landscape. Being it is the middle of July here I thought for sure we would have it all to ourselves but there were many parked cars and even some motorhomes! Here are some pictures...
Heading towards it...
Many picnic areas like this with a grill too.
The last time we were here we walked there and there was a little water fall and some guys were repelling.
And of course cactus....lots of cactus..
Not a problem for this little dove....
and nice restrooms too. It all was well maintained.
