With excessive heat warnings in the forecast for the Sonoran Desert, it’s time to hit road In our June issue, we feature several scenic drives in the high country, including Forest Road 300 on the Mogollon Rim The vistas from atop the Rim steal the show, but there’s much more to see along Forest Road 300, which can be approached from the east, near Woods Canyon Lake, or from the west, just north of Strawberry In this photo by Joel Hazelton, you’re getting a sunset view from an overlook along Forest Road 300, which offers an expansive view of the pine-filled landscape below the Mogollon Rim

Today is the birthday of Frank Lloyd Wright, who was born on this date in 1867 Among his many imprints in Arizona is the Raymond Carlson House, which he built for our editor emeritus As the story goes: In the late 1940s, Mr Wright learned that his friend, the editor of ARIZONA HIGHWAYS, was living in a small home in Phoenix He thought he deserved more, and offered to help “I’ll design a new home for you,” he said “For free ” And so, around 1950, the Raymond Carlson House was built
