“Landscapes off the Senator highway”

An escape from the Arizona heat was just what we needed, and the Bradshaw mts. was a perfect escapade. Driving up the Crown king road reminded me of the tycoon Frank Murphy who created the railroad that once went up and down this road, it was called the “impossible railroad” from the Crown King mine.

Going up Crown King road was a n exciting drive that would eventually lead us to Crown king at an elevation of 5,771.

Crown king was once the top mining town in the Bradshaw Mountains

Now we come to some of the photos I took while going offroading up Senator highway!

After the long trip, we headed back home, when we spotted the beautiful rainbow and the sun going down. The Senator highway is an exciting dirt road for high clearance vehicles only, just dont drive it after heavy rainfall. it is a perfect escape from the heat and as you can see, just spectacular views all around!
