Apache Junction, Arizona

We woke up in the New Year to a beautiful desert snow storm. The Superstition Mountains were frosted with the white magic. The cholla cactus were also dusted with snow. This is a view of the famous Flatiron peak in the Superstition Mountains. A sight we will be enjoying from our new home in Apache Junction.
First light revealed this magical desert landscape from the lost goldmine trail.
The famous “Elvis Church” from Apacheland with the snow-covered Superstition Mountains in the background. Hundreds of great western movies where filmed at Apacheland. This church was also used in many movies.
Finally a view of the magnificent Four Peaks in a snow storm. This is a rare desert snow storm. The snow coverage is all about elevation. The lower desert in the foreground had not received any snow. Saving the best for last!
