I wanted to finish up my desert business by sharing photos from a hike.

 

 

This particular hike took place in Pinnacle Peak Park, and man oh man is it spectacular. Living in La-La Land, I’ve become a bit jaded when looking at vistas and backdrops. So much of what I see around home is fake. So when I took a gander at the surroundings of Pinnacle Peak, I wondered if it was real. I mean, the terrain looked like a freakin’ professionally landscaped garden! How was I supposed to believe my rods and cones were accurately interpreting a natural, random landscape? But then I thought about it and decided Mother Nature is surely the ultimate gardener, so there you go.

 

 

This particular Saguaro Cactus seemed to be pointing the way, so that no one would miss the trail.

 

 

Speaking of the trail, it’s only 1 3/4 miles long (one way). And it isn’t a loop, so if you find yourself in Scottsdale and decide to hike this lovely terrain, keep that in mind. No dogs or bikes are allowed, but there were about a skillion people on the trail the day we hiked it.

 

 

But oh! It was glorious. I highly recommend it.
