South Mountain Park, Phoenix.
I did a nice 14 mile loop over two SOTA summits, Salt Benchmark and Goat Hill. Then drove up to Mt Suappoa for a quick third activation.

June 3, 2024, and it's supposed to be ~105 today and summer has officially arrived.So has fire season. Not sure where exactly but these shots, ordered clockwise beginning in lower left quadrant, are looking up around Shea Blvd or even the Verde Valley near the casino? taken from top of S Mountain. Look at fire progression in the 20 minutes or so that the shots cover.
