| no partners | | Picked up where I left off, more or less from the day before. Started out at Harmony Park in Mesa, then hiked northbound to where I left the trail the day before, and headed back south. At the junction where the trail spurs off to Santan Regional Park, I headed west along the Western Canal to McQueen Park, then headed back.
The views along this area were nicer than the day before. The Western Canal is nicer, other than the powerlines overhead. There were a lot more parks, farms, and open areas, rather than just houses on either side. The trail goes right through the northern end of downtown Gilbert. It was interesting walking up to road crossings where I had been before and seeing everything from a different approach angle.
Neely Ranch Riparian Preserve was interesting. Lots of solar panels there. Signs next to the cyclone fence indicated that reclaimed water was being applied. That makes sense since a wastewater treatment plant is directly across the canal to the north.
Saw more people along the canals later into the morning, but no crowded conditions to speak of. Harmony Park had a lot of people when I got back, but I was able to keep distance from everyone. |
