The main event today was that the Arizona fan club of The Mud Dragons took us on an outing to White Tank Mountain Regional Park where we hiked/walked the Waterfall Trail.
None of us had been there before, and we arrived around dusk. And, it was pretty amazing!
Here are a few pix to give you an idea of what it was like.
I love the saguaro cacti. And they were all over the place. I didn't make it to Saguaro National Park on this trip, but this gave me a taste of what that park might be like. And, just in case you have never seen a saguaro, they can be huge, and grow to 10' and taller! They are also extremely long-lived. There were also several other kinds of cacti around.
Plus, petroglyphs. And, lots of them.
I guess the one thing I can say about hiking in Arizona is this, you leave the established trail, you do so at your own risk - but the plants in AZ are pretty darned amazing. There are scratchy, pokey things everywhere off trail.
We, of course did other things as well today, but this, for me, was the main event!
Have a great day!
Sorry about the late posting.
