Close to 2,706 feet high
I’m glad I had cached The Today’s Hits of the Slacker Radio on my BlackBerry. We drove around Arizona for four days and the music certainly made the 1,775 km drive a lot more enjoyable.
I didn’t have much expectations of Arizona. I was blown away by the vast changes of rock formation and vegetation in this state. The 2,000+ feet, 3-hour hike up to Camelback Mountain in Phoenix was priceless (as seen above). Then on the same day, we drove to Tortilla Flat and quick change of altitude and landscape reminds me of the Rockies in British Columbia.
When leaving Phoenix en route to the Grand Canyon, we drove up 5,700 feet to Prescott Valley area. The vast changes of geography on highway 17 and 93 made you realize how insignificant our day to day life problems are compared to nature.
