Dim grey skies over South Mountain
Finally, the start of the climb
Clouds shrouding the ridgeline
Mist rising from the hills of South Mountain
Clouds driving through telegraph pass
Fantastic view of Phoenix
Westward, to Goat Hill
A damp hillside trail
Waking sun on the trail
Morning sun rays over the ridges
Surreal view over Gila River valley
Last view back at Goat Hill
Mist and clouds over the desert
Old mine remains
Back at the steep descent
Looking northeast at this morning's climb
