It's called Mummy Mountain, because as you are driving north, if you use your imagination, it looks like a mummy lying down. The same way that Camelback looks like a camel. The head is to the right, as you drive north. Then working left, or east, you see folded hands on the chest, which slopes down to the legs, and then feet. Like I said, squint, and pretend you are 6 years old again,you'll see it  The "M" is for Maricopa, and used to be painted by the high school students, much the way "A" Mountain in Tempe is painted by the college students. As far as sacred is concerned, all I'll say is that it is on tribal land. And tribal land has tribal law. And tribal law is "different." Especially for non tribal members. I don't want to get arrested on tribal land, which is why I posed the question in the first place. -Graham |
