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. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

I took a drive there the other day to no avail so I just ended up hiking. I believe it overlooks Awatukee? It is going to drive me nuts until I find it!! |

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.
