I started this hike around 7:00am.Some nice trees along the creek,a little water and lots of bird chatter.The Ravens were real vocal as were a couple of Raptors.It was nice to stop and watch them for awhile.I saw three snakes(1 swimming)and a couple White-Tails.Some of the deeper pools of water had some minnows and crawdads.There were a couple of cool crested cactus on the first half also.The second half was most of the climbing.It had some nice views.The climb and heat had me taking a lot less pictures .A nice little workout.It might be fun to explore a little more when the weather is cooler.
