A few days after returning from New York Julia and I flew out to Phoenix, Arizona for a conference that I had to attend. We spent one afternoon driving up the Apache Trail from Phoenix towards Roosevelt Dam (with limited time, treacherous driving conditions, and daylight visibility issues we decided to stop short of the entire loop and headed back once we hit Apache Lake).

Here is the google map terrain view of what we covered that day.

Along the switchbacks and tight curves we saw a bunch of one-lane bridges, canyons, strange rock formations, and cacti after cacti. But most of all it was the amazing view alongside the "vista points" that I took the most pictures of. Here are a few panorama shots:
