WHITE TANK MOUNTAIN REGIONAL PARK

Our afternoon expedition was a 45 minute drive to the west from Glendale to a park (of course, right in the middle of the desert). We did a 2 mile round trip walk to a water falls (very little water) that I was surprised was located in the desert. The saguaro cactus were impressive.
Of course, since Paul and Jean are first class tourist guides, they simply insisted that we ride in their 1999 Chrysler convertible. It was from this vantage point that we saw much of the park.

I'm thinking that the saguaro are like the snowflake; no two are alike. They say that it takes 75 years of growth before an arm can grow.








This series reminded me of Calvary (Golgotha).



Near the end of the trail, we were able to view the petroglyphs located on some of the larger stones.
