This is the view looking west from the beginning of AZ's
Soldier Pass Trail. Before ending at the pass, the trail connects with a spur leading up to
Soldier Pass Arch.
Arizona cypress and an assortment of wicked Agave line this trail.
An intermittent stream flows past this trail during the summer monsoon.
The "craggy" formations (to the right of Coffeepot Rock) resemble witches standing in the shadows to
SOME people, not excluding myself.
"
She is a cat in the dark,
And then she is the darkness.
She rules her life like a fine skylark,
And when the sky is starless."
