Photo: Top of Four Peaks

This is a photo of the top of one of the peaks of Four Peaks. Yes, there is a dusting of snow. The effects of a 1996 fire are still visible, as the high desert vegetation has not reforested the area fully.

Northern Arizona has large Ponderosa pine forests. At this lower elevation and higher temperatures, juniper is common.

My husband's son, Stuart, took this photo near the end of his Jeep drive up Four Peaks. I will show the final photo from this series tomorrow.

This week we are showing photos of the architecture and theater district of Chicago on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

The snow on Four Peaks is sometimes the only glimpse of snow we valley residents get to see.

It is always a treat when there is snow on Four Peaks. Quite a contrast to the warm weather in the Valley from which the snow capped peaks are visible.

I agree, I love to see the snow up there when it's warm down here. Really nice picture.
