Spook Hill - Brown Road Mesa


This is the cool little hill on Brown Road on the way to see the boys.  The dogs and I finally decided to explore it, since we were running out of daylight.  We were going to try to hike Camelback but it was so crowded that we decided not to!  It was a nice little hike one or two miles long.  Nice moderate workout...but no off leash time.
 There were quite a few peeps on the hill, some doing some "hill running" (man...werd...that is oo rah?).  The trail was really pretty, rocky and steep.  It had all sorts of flowers and cool bushes and rocks.

Good thing for the Pness it was a short and easy to follow trail.  There was even a view to the ever so helpful mountain with the "Phoenix that way" arrow on it.  I couldn't have gotten lost if I tried! (I could have fallen off the mountain though...but that didn't happen either!!!)
Phoenix <----That way!

Cliff Picture:  INFP did NOT fall down! Yay!!!
The hill was steep enough to get us high enough to enjoy the valley as the sun set.  I was lucky to watch such a gorgeous sunset at such a spot!  It was BEAUTIMUS!!!!

All in all it was an awesome little hike!!

    1. Hi Kevin! I didn't get this comment until just now. I'm fairly certain there is a story behind the "Spook Hill" name...but I have forgotten. I will investigate it again and let you know! Happy Hiking!
