I was expecting this trail to be kind of a snooze what with it being relatively flat and not that far from town. But I was pleasantly surprised. This hike shows how beautiful the desert can really be. There were wildflowers galore and many of the cactus were in full bloom, too. That and the hills were covered in a lush, green overgrowth. Also,saw more wildlife than I expected...everything from hawks to burros. Aside from a couple jets that were bound for Luke, it was quite peaceful out there. Saw no one else till I got to the very end where I met up with a group on horseback. All in all a nice hike close to home.
