“Telegraph Pass at Sunset”

Click image for a closer view

There’s hardly a day or a time when you don’t see people on the Telegraph Pass trail or maintenance road. Of course the area that’s locally known as “Telegraph Pass” is really a Gila Mountain ridge that hosts a collection of microwave relay antennas.

There are a lot of hiking trails that crisscross the Telegraph Pass section of the Gilas. The area is popular with hikers in part because the trails are easy to get to; most of the trails emanate from the east end of the North Frontage road, where there’s now a graded parking area for the monthly “Howling at The Moon” gatherings.

Can you spot all the people in this image? Hint: there's a dog too.
