A photo story

Agua Fria National Monument

I pulled off at Agua Fria National Monument in Arizona, in October 2023, the day after I climbed Humphreys Peak. The entrance sign sits along a dirt road, with dry grass and mesas stretching out behind it. It was around 72, under a mostly clear sky, with a breeze around 13 miles an hour.

Agua Fria is desert grassland and mesa country, about a two hour drive south of Humphreys Peak. The second photo is from the same stop, a minute later, looking out over the grassland and mesas toward the mountains.
