Is THIS in Arizona?

Yes , this is in Arizona. The Mormon Mountain Trail (#58) leads to the 8,449' summit of Mormon Mountain west of the lake. Mormon Mountain (seen here) lies within a forest of Ponderosa pine, mixed conifers and aspen. At a number of places along the route, openings in the forest canopy provide long distance views of 600-acre Mormon Lake and the grassy flats and forest-covered hills that surround it. In drought years, Mormon Lake soon becomes "Mormon Meadow." At the viewpoint where I took this photo, there's also a view of the San Francisco Peaks 25+ miles to the north. Here's a shot from this same viewpoint in late winter. July 2, 2008
