I'm trying to identify the green groundcover I saw at Aravaipa a couple weeks ago.

I second that. My morning stroll about that time was a scorcher, definitely some humidity holding the heat in overnight. Saw photos of a thunderstorm down near Casa Grande last night so hopefully we can get some of that a bit farther north...

Glad to hear your recovery is coming along! We all know you're as resilient as hell and will come out stronger than ever

Geologically speaking, the Superstition Mountains are an extinct resurgent caldera volcano, similar to, but not nearly as large as the Yellowstone Caldera (or as it is more commonly known, the Yellowstone Supervolano). I don't have much specific info laying around about it the moment (need to dig th...

Love how you can see snow clinging to the north facing slopes on all the desert ranges

The last time I was at Peralta TH, there was a tour bus parked there. Seriously. Filled with foreign tourists and not one of them had a water bottle.

Sweet low-hanging cloud action on the McDowells this morning. Took a couple pics!

Long time no see!

Another javelina sighting yesterday afternoon. Apparently there are 5 adults and a youngster that like to hang out in our citrus grove and nibble on fallen fruit.

@JasonCleghorn
Right on! Will do. Had some interesting wildlife encounters on the trip last week as it turns out too. I'll have to share them here when I have more than a moment.

Saw a javelina at work yesterday, as I was exiting the backdoor, it was probably 20 yards away. We made definite eye-contact. Our parking lot opens right into the desert (McDowells), so it bolted into the desert as I fumbled in my pocket for my phone to take a pic

I didn't see an existing thread so we'll start a new one.

Anyone been on the South Kaibab or Bright Angel within the last week? I'm wondering if there is ice present on either trail?

We're hiking in on S. Kaibab on Saturday and out Bright Angel on Tuesday. Wondering if yaktrax will be necessary.

Any suicide is a sad story!
