| I had such a lovely day. It was about 85 degrees today. While it's very dry and wildflowers are rare, there are other treasures in the desert: birds, burros, lizards, butterflies, bees and more. With scenic views, rocks and petroglyphs, I was a happy hiker today. |
 |
| We could go this way, through the wash... |
 |
| ...or that way, along the road. We opted for the wash. |
 |
| I spy... |
 |
| ...honey bee's! |
 |
| The petroglyphs are carved deep in to the rock. |
 |
| A heart. |
 |
| A lovely place for a snack, with a vast view of the desert and the wash below. |
 |
| This rock, and many others in the area, tell a story that I don't know how to interpret. |
 |
| The inside of a prickly pear cactus pad. |
 |
| A heart. |
 |
| My first rock cairn. |
 |
| If I can find my way back to this place, there's the rock cairn. |
 |
| My hiking buddy, Frank. |
 |
| A heart. |
 |
| I didn't bring any of my dogs on today's hike, but my day was complete seeing about a dozen burros. |
 |
| For fun: at the bottom of the map, AZ-74; and at the top of the map, where we hiked. |
 |
| Our hike: about 4-1/2 miles. (YTD: 41.1) |
