Even though I have spent a great deal of my life in and around the Papago Buttes, I still like their form and complexity. If you were to look really close at this photo, you would see some people right at the bottom of the cliff and you could get some idea of the scale. We used to use this rock regularly for rappelling classes and the place to tie in is located about halfway up this rock on top of the big rock just left of the center. The rappel was about 160 feet.
This picture makes me think of home. I can't even count how many times I've driven past the buttes. Too bad I never really explored them.
