It's nearly impossible to take a poor photograph in these buttes of red sandstone. I hiked out to the ramada at .55 miles with my Canon and tripod then took the high route to the west of the small butte. Hoped to get a shot of downtown Phoenix skyline at sunset but nothing appealed.

Did manage three hand-held shots of the "snubbed" buttes, the high one north of McDowell Road and the two little ones on the military reservation to the northwest. Particularly liked the photo of the Hunt Tomb butte to the east with airliner descending into Sky Harbor. Looks to me like the profile of a man staring up at the plane. Another beautiful day in a beautiful setting.
