Mingus Mountain
|
On September 25, I drvoe through the town of Cherry to Mingus Mountain, overlooking the Verde Valley. The town of Cottonwood was directly below and the red rocks cliffs of Sedona could be seen an the far side of the valley as thunderheads built up in the distance.

The Arizona Hang Gliding Association maintains a hang
glider launching platform near the campground.
The platform is at the highest point in the mountain range, at an elevation of
7,815 feet. The peak of Mingus Mountain is at an elevation of just 7,730 feet.

We ended the day with dinner at Bing's Burger Station in Cottonwood. The retro diner serves excellent burgers, hot dogs, and fountain drinks.
