| no partners | | | Tried to beat the heat, and got off pretty good. Especially on the west side, the shadows protected us as we hiked the trail clockwise. It is the first time we have hiked it this direction and it is always strange how different a trail feels. I think I found my favorite spot to photograph Elephant Mountain on the Go-John. The brittlebush on the southern end of the hike must have been amazing but looked spent, maybe we will get lucky with another round? I did spot one hedgehog blooming. Watch out for 2 hummingbirds who apparently own the saddle at the top of the switchbacks on Go-John, I almost took 2 beaks to the eyeball. Elephant mountain is becoming like the fountain at Fountain Hills lately, I am seeing it a lot lately but I until now I haven't found a spot that sets it off. Just snapped off quick cell pic for now. I am happy to say that I have finally finished one of my side projects so I can get back to posting my hikes more consistently. |
