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.

A few of the 1500+ petroglyphs at the Hedgpeth Hills. Typically I don't share locations but this is a secured site curated by the local university & open to the public. https://deervalley.asu.edu/

These along with the ruins & canals at Se'dav Va'aki are a testament to the Hohokam, Patayan & their ancestors that made their home at the Gila & Salt River confluence we now call "Phoenix". Their Piipaash, Yavapai & O'odham descendants still reside here & there are 4 different reservations between them in the Phoenix area alone.

Desert wasps love autumn and desert milkweed flowers. Love seeing these peaceful creatures. They have never tried to attack me.
