I took a drive up there yesterday and was really amazed the change in scenery as I ascended in elevation. It goes from cactus to trees in such a short time, pretty cool stuff.\u00a0The road to the top is about 27 miles and it goes from roughly 800 feet to a little more than 8000 feet in elevation. Some of the views are really amazing. There is a ski resort and a residential community at the top of the mountain too. I&#8217;ll probably make another trip up there before I leave. Enjoy the pictures!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2879.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-169\" alt=\"IMG_2879\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2879-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2879-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2879-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2876.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-168\" alt=\"IMG_2876\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2876-300x108.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"108\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2876-300x108.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2876-1024x368.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2874.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-167\" alt=\"IMG_2874\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2874-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2874-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2874-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2872.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-166\" alt=\"IMG_2872\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2872-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2872-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2872-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2870.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-165\" alt=\"IMG_2870\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2870-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2870-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2870-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_170\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_2881.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-170\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-170\" alt=\"Finished the day with a steak and a beer.
