A pretty break in a winter storm, looking directly west of the trail towards San Tan Mountain. This wash is about 0.5 miles from the south end of the Dynamite Trail.

Looking North, at 1750 ft. About a mile from the North trailhead (Dynamite/Goldmine intersection). Views are great the whole trail.

The mountain gets really pretty after a few days of rain. Some Rye, Flowers, Cacti and Phoenix in the distance.
