Mt. McDowell/Red Mountain/Fire Rock at 2,830 feet in addition to all the other great views beckons exploration; however, it is on Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Reservation and thus not accessible without special permission due to vandalism in the 1980s. So enjoy it from this vantage point on Coon Bluff.
