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.

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
