Pyramid Peak stands out in the distance in this view from the Hedgpeth Hills, near Phoenix, Arizona.

   This image looks to the north from near the summit of the Hedgpeth Hills.  In the distance is Pyramid Peak (elevation = 2269 feet, 692m), one of the Deem Hills.  Its striking profile is also visible as one approaches Phoenix from the north, coming down I-17 from the Carefree Highway intersection.
   Closer, on the left, is Ludden Mountain (elevation = 2197 feet, 670m).  More basalt is visible in the foreground here, but the Deem Hills are composed mostly of ancient , and other age volcanic rocks.
   The houses and streets in the small valley are part of the City of Phoenix.
