I have been trying to travel on the Christmas Tree Pass the past few times that I was in Arizona visiting my father, but there is always something that prevents this from happening. This time it was my short stay; I was only there for four days in November, and my Dad has no interest in bumping around on a “bad road”. He has a point, back roads in a desert climate can quickly become impassible if it has rained (which it had). I decided to rent an economy car and hike to the petroglyphs in Grapevine canyon instead, which is something else high on my list of things to do. Turns out, there was not enough time for that either, but I did get a few nice pics.
