Arizona, Sonoran Desert: Spring Flowers at the Foothills of Four Peaks

Springtime in the Sonoran Desert near Phoenix, in the Four Peaks Wilderness: Yellow California Goldfields cover the open spaces, fairy dusters are blooming on the left. Cacti (from left): Prickly Pear, Buckhorn Cholla, Teddy-Bear Cholla, Buckhorn Cholla, Prickly Pear. The Four Peaks, part of the Mazatzal Mountain Range, are - at 7,657 feet (2,334 m) - a prominent landmark east of Phoenix. The mountain range is part of the Tonto National Forest. The name Four Peaks is a reference to the four distinct mountain tops. The northernmost (left) peak is named Browns Peak and is the tallest of the four at 7,657 feet (2,334 m), the others are unnamed. Check out my portfolio for more views of The Four Peaks!
