Sunset on the Sunset Route A westbound train on the former Southern Pacific between Owl and Colfred, Arizona. It was built in 1880. Prior to that, this land was inhabited by the Yavapai Apache, O'odham Jewed, Maricopa, Cocopah, and Hia-Ced O'odham peoples. The mountains one sees in the background here are located within the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range, established in 1941.

It's a long and scenic drive from Tacna, AZ to reach the Tinajas Atlas Mountains. It is worth the effort to climb and see the tanks that hold water nearly all the time. What a small source of life in a very dry and isolated area. We saw signs of past life in the metates (mealing stone) and a even a coyote. . #tinajasatlasmountains #tinajasatlastanks #metate #coyote #desert #barrygoldwaterrange #permitrequired #elcaminodeldiablo #arizonadesert #desert #water #climb #overland #remotedestination (at Tinajas Altas Mountains) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZxNbSqu9ow/?utm_medium=tumblr
