Dead Horse Ranch State Park – Cottonwood, Arizona
Heading North out of Phoenix up to Cottonwood provided us some terrific views as we drove into the Verde Valley. Phoenix was fogged in but soon the fog burned off and even the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff were visible and covered with snow. This lovely state park
