For the first night, we arrived very late at this campground, located
at US route 191 north of Morenci
|
Continuing north, we made a few stops along the way to do some hiking. At the
first stop, we discovered that the speed limit is not always appropriate
for the road conditions.
|
At the next stop, we hiked up to Rose Peak, through this beautiful and dense
forest.
|
At "Rose Peak Lookout", at an elevation of more than 8,000 feet.
|
A look down from Rose Peak in southwestern direction. In the background
you can still see the Pinaleno Mountains, topped by the 11,000 feet high
Mount Graham.

A view from Rose Peak in southern direction, showing the US route 191 we
were driving on.

From the edge of the Mogollon Rim (here at the Blue Vista viewpoint) we had
a great overview over southeastern Arizona.

A stand of Aspen trees growing at the Mogollon Rim, a few hundred feet

The dirt road to the campground near Hannagan Meadow turned out to be
an easy challenge for our cars.
|
A small pool close to the K.P. Cienega campground, with the typical
high elevation forest of spruce and fir in the background - this region
is at 9,200 feet.

Our dinner at the campground on Saturday evening.
