April 17, 2023 One Last Hike Before Leaving Arizona

 



Christy is all smiles at the Brown's Ranch Trailhead in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

Heading out on Brown's Ranch Road heading to the Amphitheater.


It is another perfect day for a hike in the desert.



As usual, I fall behind right away.

I'm going to miss hiking in the beautiful desert every day.

I love all the unique flora of the desert...

...and how the cacti find so many different ways to survive out here.


 Somewhere we took Powerline Road #2 to the Watershed Trail which will take us to the Amphitheater.

There is so much to see along these trails.



As we walked along the trails near the Amphitheater...

...it began to get more colorful.













The flowering plants show just how beautiful the desert can be if you are here at the right time of the year.


We continued on the Cholla Mountain Loop trail toward Cathedral Rock.









Finally a picture of Debbie where she is facing toward me.





Cathedral Rock




All good things must end. We are heading back to the trailhead.


My last photo of our nine days of hiking in Arizona. A big thank you to George & Debbie for taking us to so many amazing places. Also for the wonderful hospitality at your beautiful house. We had a great time with you on our vacation. We love you two and will see you soon.
