Telegraph Pass Hike





























During our visit to Yuma we hiked Telegraph Pass in the Gila mountains. We had to hike a mile and one half just to get to the trail head. At the top of the peak sit 366 government and privately owned radio transmitters and other communications equipment. The winding paved road leading to the top of the mountain was built to allow the companies to service thier equipment. In one photo you can see Kathy opening a metal container which holds a log book for guests to sign as they reach the top of the pass.

  1. Hi, Dave and Kathy. I work with the Yuma Visitors Bureau to produce their annual Visitors Guide publication. They are doing an article that specifically mentions hiking telegraph pass this year and with it being 115 degrees outside, I am hard pressed to get volunteers to hike it for a photo opportunity. I wonder if you'd be willing to let us use one of your images here, with a photo credit to you in the magazine?

    Please feel free to call me if you'd like more information or have questions. My name is Paige Lineberry and I am at 928.782.3844, North End Studios.

    Thanks for your consideration! Have a great week!
