 Fifteen hikers start out around 9AM to hike the Arizona Trail. |
 Clouds top Picketpost Mountain on a damp winter morning. |
Picketpost Mountain is a postcard picture with the mist surrounding it at the top! |
 Alamo Canyon dries up in the summer, but not today! |
With the rains of the day before we see water in the creeks. |
 An ocotillo doesn’t want us to go that way. |
The Arizona Trail heads south from here, but this passage is going to be re-routed. |
|
Does this look like an old “Beetle” to you? |
 The saguaro is actually growing behind this moss-covered rock. |
|
Flags put up by volunteers for the Arizona Trail Association show the portion of the trail yet to be worked on. |
 ... and I thought we were going to see spring flowers |
|
We stop here for lunch before heading back. |
 A friendly ocotillo welcomes us to our picnic lunch. |
 The weather man said it was going to be sunny today ... |
Is that the sun trying to peek out? |
 Wake me up when we get there. |
Resting at the end of the trail after a nine mile hike. |
