We decided it was time to show the Saltire a view of downtown Phoenix -- our nation's fifth largest city. The skies were unusual for Phoenix -- overcast. Tour guides were Retro Red and Spartan. (Kilt information: Retro Red is wearing a box-pleated kilt by Matt Newsome in the Arizona Tartan. Spartan is wearing a made by himself X-Kilt.)
A view of the uptown skyline from Steele Indian School Park
At the Central Ave & Camelback train station -- Piestewa Peak is in the background. Piestewa Peak, formerly known as Squaw Peak, is named for the first Native American woman to die in combat in the US military and the first woman soldier to die in the Iraq war. Watch for more about Piesewa Peak in an upcoming adventure. See here >>>Saltire has mountain-top experience
