Famous landmark sign on Usery Mountain

Although there aren't many places at ground level this sign near the base of Usery Mountain
can be seen, it was originally created as a navigational aid for airplane pilots.

Its letters are 100 feet (30m) high and are made from whitewashed rocks.

Photographed in the Sonoran Desert north of Mesa, Arizona USA.
