Views of Cleveland.

 Most of the views of Kingman were taken while Sheri was driving.  We visited Lake View Beach in Lorain and then downtown for an escape room, and then by the new Cleveland Temple.

Kingman Radar Hill

 

Radar Hill sunset

Radar Hill can be seen from all sides of Kingman.  I fully think that from over 90 percent of Kingman you can catch a glimpse of Radar Hill.  Today the hill has a couple buildings and cell phone towers.  During the cold war it housed a An Air Force radar station as part of a defensive program.  The hill is positioned such that cell tower signal is provided to all sides of Kingman.  Today the hill can be seen but it is no accessible to the public.  There is a Christmas tree on the hill during the holidays.

From Cecil Davis Park

This is radar hill at Christmas.  The tree goes up for Thanksgiving and stays up for the season.  To me this tree brings hope.  Hope of a better tomorrow.  It is a shining light on the hill.  You can see it from almost every place in Kingman, (unless blocked by a hill or building) or if you can't see it where you are you just have to go a short distance to be able to see it.  

Kingman Hikes

Beale's Spring Hike. Known for the spring which was along the Beale Trail

White Cliffs Hike Known for wagon ruts

White Cliffs Trail System: South entrance.  A new trailhead a couple blocks from the courthouse in Kingman.  Great views of Kingman downtown area.

Mohave Wash Path:  Follows Mohave Wash.

Beale's Loop

Southside Park: from the parking lot farthest to the east, along the north side of Southside Park there is a trail which is a bit above the ball diamonds.  It goes behind the ball diamonds past where they have a football goal post.  At the end there is another rough parking area.  Behind this there is a trail going up the hill and another coming down.  There is a very good view from the top of this hill and it makes a more aerobic walk up.  

Thistle along the trail

Downtown Walk several publications talk about down town walks.

Slaughterhouse Canyon Hike
