Christmas morning hike, back to the Sonoran Preserve. Extended the loop a bit this time by adding on the Desert Tortoise and Valle Verde (named the Valle Vista trail on HAZ for some reason...maybe an old name?) trails. Did the Western Vista summit this time instead of the Dixie summit. Nice views from the Western Vista summit. No one on the trails when we got there before 10am, but by noon we were seeing quite a few people. Nice warm and clear day to be out.

Saw a coyote maybe 50 ft away from us along the Valle Verde trail who seemed to be hunting for food. He looked at us, wasn't too impressed, and walked on.

Wasn't able to get a good shot of him though.
