Gila Baby
January 3rd, 2009
A small crested I found while out exploring along the Gila River. This is approximately 11 miles due south of Superior, AZ on an old mining road (called Battle Axe Road) of the AZ-177. There is only 1 way in and out (as far as I know) and the turn off to Battle Axe road can be found at
The saguaros are incredibly dense in this region, as are the cholla and ocotillo. There are grand towering cliffs all around and beautiful Gila River valley makes this a great place to explore. Be careful of old mine shafts out here – I found one that was a vertical drop of ~20 feet… Watch where you walk out there!
