Hiking: Lake Pleasant

I joined a docent-led hike at Lake Pleasant titled: "Quaggas, Cormorants, and Carp Hike".

In Nov of 2009 I joined a ranger-led hike to Indian Mesa. Docent-Frank was there and his knowledge intrigued me back then.

I was looking forward to today's hike and to hear what docent-Frank had to say.

There were two of us: Chuck and me.

When the water is at higher levels, these tree's live submerged.

Docent, Frank, talks to us about Quaggas.


A close up look, they are smaller than I imagined.

Looking up, a beautiful day.


Wild burros.

Wild burros. The males are called jacks and the females are called jennies.

Big, beautiful trees.


Our docent, Frank, picked up litter along the hike, including a large glass bottle.
