Plenty of interesting rocks are scattered all round the trail. 

There is the Pyramid Trail that I hiked on once I reached the top of Telegraph Pass

There is the view looking back up after hiking down. 

Those are all the antennas on top of South Mountain as viewed from the top of Telegraph Pass

Those are actual ancient Hohokam petroglyphs at the base of South Mountain. 

This is the trailhead at the West end of the Pyramid Trail

This is where the Bursera Trail splits off of the Pyramid Trail. 

The Pyramid trail will take me to a wash that will lead me to the old mine shafts. 

Rocks along the trail. 

This is the wash that leads to the old brothel building. 

Rain clouds in the distance as I hike up South mountain from the West end trail head. 

Rain clouds are clearing and a ray of sun is beaming down from the clouds. 

Hiking down the wash that leads to the brothel and old mining shafts.

There is the view from the foundation of the old brothel.
