Tovrea Castle At Carraro Heights PX AZ 2016
Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights #TovreaCastle #Tovrea
This video is my Snap Story from a tour of Tovrea Castle in Phoenix. If you’ve considered visiting this might give you a little glimpse of what to expect. I know the video is choppy, but again, just a Snap Story. There are details about this place and its history at tovreacastletours.com. Tickets are hard to come by...keep in mind you have to be online and ready to buy the second they go on sale as there are very limited quantities available. The tour we took was called the “Super Moon Tour” so it included some refreshments on the patio not part of the “normal” tours. (Of course it was a cloudy night so we didn’t get to actually see the Super Moon (sigh)).

A walk within the Mysteries of the COPENHAVER CASTLE - Phoenix Arizona - Camelback Mountain
Filmed with written permission from the property owner January 2017. Further information regarding this architectural wonder can be found by searching for Copenhaver Castle; constructed for Dr. Mort Copenhaver in 1967 on the south side of Camelback Mountain. The build out of this residence took over 10 years to complete. Camelback Castle as it is known today is one of Arizona's more infamous historical landmarks. *Note there is a pretty cool Bob Vila this Old House segment that was filmed at the property in 1986.

**I really appreciate unique architecture, Arizona desert scapes, illumination and snapping photos & video as a hobbyist...with that said, please understand I'm not a pro photographer or video editor so the vid & edits are a bit clunky here and there...hope you can look past these foibles and enjoy the castle...Winter is Coming!
