Hello, I’m a little confused by exactly where this monument is… is it on highway 71?
Hi Mia! Great question. Old Highway 71 has been renamed Temescal Canyon Road since the original directions were written down. To find this landmark, you’ll want to find the intersection of Temescal Canyon Road and Wrangler Way! Send a photo when you find it!
