We have what you call a Sky Island in our backyard. The Hualapai Mountains are a 15 minute drive from my house and rises to about 8,000 feet at its highest peak. AZ is one of the most diverse states in terms of habitat in the US. When I get to talking about AZ outdoors I realize how much I miss being out in the wilds playing like I did for 30 plus years and getting paid for it.
