Agent 54 here again. I
enjoy hiking the mountains of Arizona. These pictures are from Squaw Peak
which was renamed Piestewa Peak in honor of Army Spc. Lori Ann Piestewa, the
first known Native American woman to die in combat in the U.S. military, and
the first female soldier to be killed in action in the 2003 Iraq War.
The mountain is imposing from the
parking lot.

Peak.
Awesome Cliff Face. Those are 40
ft tall Saguaro Cacti growing on the slope.
Nature's ancient layers turned almost 90
degrees.
Looking at the back of famous Camelback
mountain in Phoenix from near the top of Squaw Peak.
My truck is somewhere in the foreground
parking lot. In the distance through the haze it downtown Phoenix with
South Mountain along the Horizon. A golf course provides a nice patch of
green in the upper middle.
How fun. Great experience and great exercise too. Good for you. Love the views.
