Kingman Radar Hill

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.

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.
