This is what is on the other side of the road and down a small slope at Tortilla Flat. Much more pleasurable than being bombarded by noisy touristy stuff - at least for me and mine.
I couldn't agree more!! I loathe crowds and extraneous noise. Very interesting little water-hole with the reflections from those whopping great cactii.
@samae I had never made the drive out this way, the drive is windy but lined with so much beauty. Do you miss the area? I took a course through Arizona Highway magazine that used these peaks as the backdrop- so beautiful.
@kwind The back roads have many surprises.
@tstb13 Very glad that I walked down the hill.
@lanikyea Thank you, the natural beauty of Arizona can be truly surprising. I am grateful to get to see it.
@golftragic These Seguaro just seem to take all of this human noise in stride. Me, I'll just visit for a bit and not bother them.
@eudora Truly grateful for the fav, the little spots often have the best things.
@domenicododaro Thank you so kindly for the fav, I am happy to have made the trip but once is enough for me.
@overalvandaan Thank you so much, very appreciative of the fav. The back country around Phoenix can be just gorgeous.
@haskar Truly grateful for the fav. I like finding the little special spots.
