It is well-used for it's huge parking lot usually occupied by semi trucks on one side and cars and SUV's on the other.
The relatively clean rest rooms are a welcome sight to travelers.
But on the other side from the freeway are some magnificent views of the east side of the rugged Bradshaw Mountains.
It's a wonderful panorama viewed and photographed by tourists and locals alike.
It offers a nice contrast to metropolitan Phoenix, at more than 4.7 million people the 11th largest metro area in the country, just a short drive away.
You wouldn't think that you were that close to so much humanity!
ReplyDeleteCommuting to and from the Catalyst and SWMBO, we stop at Sunset Point and have gathered some nice photos from there.
ReplyDeleteYour shots are great to see.
It surprises me to see that there are SO MANY people in Phoenix. I love seeing this mountain range. Quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe first time we went through Phoenix was in 1974, and it was a quick drive. Wow. It has exploded.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
Amazing landscapes!
ReplyDeleteI imagine people stop for the toilets, but stay for the view.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gem of a rest stop! Thank you for the pictures.
