We took a little drive throught the mountains by our house the other day. About forty fivr minutes and we were on the other side on the way to Prescott. Not a shortcut, but quite scenic. At the top, there was a little campground by a creek. It will a nice place to cool off a little in the summer.
AZ has such a diverse landscape!

I swear, this is still AZ! The campground is in the woods.
