Four Peaks

There is an Arizona micro brewery bottling Four Peaks beer, but that is not the topic for this post. Four Peaks are the mountains in the center of the Arizona license plates and a nearby attraction. Lil' Red took a drive a couple of weeks ago, before the rattlesnakes were visible. Some of the desert flowers were blooming. It was our first time on the road.

the road's namesake

desert marigold, I think

12 inches high or taller

a much smaller flower 3 to 4 inches high

looks like the desert marigold

but the petals are different

something yellow and orange

star shaped petaled flower

Coors agave

a new flora species???

Lil' Red basking in the sun

the Superstition Mountains from the 'back' side

if it is cold enough in the higher elevations,

Four Peaks often is tipped in white

not so now with 70 and 80 degree temps
