A very prominent landmark in Phoenix is the "Four Peaks" that looms over the horizon. There is a jeep road that goes almost to the top. I've driven on it only once (it takes forever -- lots of curves and rocks). Elevation is 7,659′, and there are pine trees there. Of course, the landscape is scarred by a wildfire that occured in 1996 due to an unattended campfire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Peaks
