Mingus Mountain offers nearby camping retreat
The smell of the cool mountain air began to waft into the car, reminding me of why I had left the city a little more than an hour ago.
My friend, acting as navigator for the day, and I were well on our way to our final destination of Mingus Mountain northeast of Prescott.
Just a short drive out of the greater Phoenix area, you find yourself surrounded by pine trees and pleasant breezes that are a result of a nearly 7,000 foot elevation change in just an hour and a half.
