| no partners | | I've lived here 20+ years and regret not finding Parsons Trail much, much earlier. Got a late start at the TH at 11 a.m. and the parking lot was full. Already nearly 90 degrees, the first leg in full exposure wasn't fun, but once we hit the cool shade of the canyon the trail became a delight. Just seeing water in AZ is soul-restoring! I didn't see many folks on the trail...until we got to the main swimming hole. Social distancing was NOT going on here, so we pushed on past the ledges to find a more secluded spot to jump in and cool off.
The exposed sandy trail was too hot for the little dog's paws on the way out, so he got a backpack ride. Next time I'll start much earlier in the summer. |
