Maricopa and Sand Tank Mts., Arizona Within Sonoran Desert National Monument These photos were taken at Sonoran Desert National Monument, a remarkably
pristine patch of BLM land about
an hour south of Phoenix. The monument
encompasses
the Maricopa Mts., including the South Maricopa Mts. Wilderness where
most of
these
images were captured. Just south
of the Maricopa Mts., and also within Sonoran
Desert National Monument, are the wonderfully wild Sand Tank Mts.
All
the photos showing spring wildflowers are from the Sand Tanks.
