Went on a morning hike up the Tom's Thumb trail from the north entrance to the Mcdowell Sonoran Preserve. There were some patches of flowers (Mex Poppies, blue lupin and others)on the south facing slopes which made for beautiful scenery along with the morning light through a thin cloud cover which gave a warm color to the many rock formations. The main purpose of the hike was to work on increasing my hiking stamina after a couple months of forced abstinence but I also wanted to get more experience with my new camera. The new gateway entrance and improved road access has brought hoards of hikers. The parking lots were nearly full. Not necessarily a bad thing - sometimes its nice to greet and talk to other hikers even though I generally prefer solitude.
