The beautiful Whetstone Mountains lie in the south central portion of Arizona, near the Mexico border. The ridgeline can be seen on the left when traveling north on route 90 from Sierra Vista to Benson. The highest point within this mountain range is 6,628 feet above sea level.
These photographs were taken in late March. This was the first evening in which I had enough time to spot a location, setup, and wait for the coming sunset. Sierra Vista, for the most part, is surrounded by mountain ranges. Therefore, depending on drive time, I could setup virtually in any direction to capture a sunset. Fortunately, the Whetstone Mountains was a short 20-minute drive, and allowed me to capture photographs of the mountains with the sun setting behind them.
One of the items I like most about Arizona is there are vast spaces with many of beautiful vistas overlooking mountains, landscapes, and sunsets. I spent hours driving southern Arizona, during my leisure time, looking at many different towns and landscapes along the way.
