Strange question, does anyone know where the helicopter landing pad on South Mountain is? I have been there once but it was dark and I can't seem to remember where it is. I would love to get some pics off there.

Go drive around up there, I believe there is a parking lot at the end of the road, or maybe it is over by the towers. There is a big lot where the cancer walk ends.

Never been there myself... Using Bing maps birds eye view this resembles a helicopter pad.



It looks like to get there just take S. Central all the way to the end and hang a right. The pad is the smaller circle to the middle left on the image. The larger circle is a water tank below the pad. See below.

Hi I'm a mountain biker, and we all know that helo pad is south of Desert classic about half way between the water tank and telegraph pass. It does over look the awatukee foothills.
