It is seen here from the Arrowhead overpass of I-10 in west Blythe overlooking McCoy Wash Valley. To the right are the Little Maria Mountains and on the left are the McCoy Mountains. The McCoy Valley extends from Granite Peak to the Blythe airport. The McCoy Valley is the site of the proposed Blythe Solar Millennium and the McCoy Solar Projects.
