Description
This rock formation is part of a small mountain in the center of Phoenix called Camelback Mountain. From the airport the mountain looks like a camel, which is were it derived its name. This rock formation is called the "Praying Monk" from an angle different than this one the formation looks like a praying monk. Stevie Nicks lives near this mountain and incorporated it into a song, describing it as a purple mountain, the color it appears as the sun sets. There are trails leading to the top that are easy to climb... because the rocks on the trail are loose, those not careful can easily hurt themselves. If you are in Phoenix (and the weather is cool) it's worth donning a pair of tennis shoes and taking the climb. If the photo is enlarged you can see people standing on the head of the monk. Accessible only through rock climbing.
