Ode to the Phoenix Monsoon
August 27th, 2008 categories: Local Color
The beauty, serenity and grandeur of the Phoenix monsoon almost makes the humidity and heat, a miserable combination, worth it.
Indeed, the sunsets, sunrises and the huge thunder clouds that often surround the valley are spectacular, especially during a sunrise. The best way to view these clouds is either in the open desert or on a small hill.
Hiking in the Phoenix Mountains and seeing the glowing warm sky and the shimmering lights of the city makes for one inspiring and grounding moment.
