And here I thought it was because on a clear day you could see all the way to San Francisco!

But seriously, from on top of the highest peak, Humphreys Peak (12,633'), you can see over a hundred miles on a clear day - it just seems like you can see forever.

In the summertime, if there isn't a thunderstorm, it's a great hike to the top of Humphreys Peak, of course at over 2-miles up it's not for the faint-of-heart or short-of-breath.

Navajo is probably one of the few languages that can challenge Welsh as, "World's Most Tongue-Twisting Language." No wonder they used it as a "code" in WWII!

Great pics, Ron! Always love those majestic saguaro cacti & rugged mountains - hey, maybe that's why I live in Phoenix!
