South
Mountain Park
South Mountain Park is not a
backpacking destination. It is a great place to hike, so I included it
here. South Mountain Park is the larges municipal park in the
world. It is a very pretty place, and you usually can't tell at
all that you are surrounded by the city.

This is called
"fat man's pass". It leads to a place called "hidden valley", which
itself is stunningly beautiful. |

My daughters
are sitting amongst some rocks, near fat man's pass. |

This is also
near the pass. |
