| Morning jog starting from the picturesque town of Jerome. But as the town is only half way up the rim, I tried to get the sun rise from the top. Well, after getting stuck in too many bushes because there where no trails I had to resign after 500m of climb... the sun rise was still amazing over the Verde Valley. |
