Those are the Harquahala Mtns. I went hiking in.
I call this photo "The Lone Saguaro" (how original - LoL)

And so accurate! LOL I wonder why there is so little! Are those blue plants in front yucca or maybe Dasylirion wheeleri?

There are more Saguaro's at the base of the mountain and halfway up the mountain. You can barely see them in the photo. The light green/blue bushes in front are Brittle Bush and the dark green ones are Creosote bush.
