Driving Through South Mountain Park

When we finished our Holbert Trail hike, we drove over to the entrance of South Mountain Park.  We were surprised to find that the park is free!  A road goes through the park, and ends at the stone building right above where we ended our hike.  It is called Dobbins Overlook and it has a huge parking and some fun sights worth seeing.  The view of Phoenix is fantastic too, very similar to what we saw at the end of our hike, so either way, it’s a must see if you are in Phoenix!

There are several of these stone buildings in the park.  It is amazing how cool they stay even on a hot day.

This brass marker was very interesting, it points to all of the main attractions in Phoenix.

There are lots of overlooks and picnic tables throughout the park, so it would be a great place for a picnic lunch.  We stopped at the entrance on our way out of the park to take this picture of the bathroom.  We didn’t go in to check them out, but it was a very nice building.
