| partners | | Short hike today in Saguaro National Park to take advantage of the cool weather. Started out on the Douglas Spring Trail then the Carrillo and returned on the Garwood Trail. This loop can be a little ho hum but if the conditions are right it is beautiful. Today was like that, big pillowy white and dark clouds with a few sprinkles. The desert was in bloom particularly the Ocotillo, Prickly Pear and the saguaros. The saguaros will probably be peaking in the next few weeks.
The trails were rather empty even though the parking lot was full. most people we saw were along the Douglas Spring Trail. Did see two park personnel that were doing some trail maintenance Near the Carrillo/Three Tanks Trail junction. Stopped by the Garwood Dam to check it out. This Dam use to be back filled with dirt but the water is allowed to pass through a pipe under the dam now and the backfill has been cleared out. Not sure how long it has been like this though. |
