Sunrise/Ringtail Trail loop: 2.12 miles, 48 minutes 7 min break
Straightforward hikes in the McDowell Preserve. Lots of staghorn cholla on the Lost Dog trail, teddy bears on the Sunrise/Ringtail loop. Flicker spotted atop saguaro on the Ringtail trail.
Cool to start but warmed up gradually. Got rid of my sweatshirt when I stopped at the Taliesin Overlook. This was the high point of my hike. A group of probably 8-9 ladies came to the overlook while I was there. Spotting the shell on my pack, one asked "Did you do the Camino?" Aha. Someone who speaks Camino! Four of them had walked from Sarria to Santiago in September 2019, 4 months after I walked from Leon to Santiago. We compared notes for perhaps 10 minutes. Always fun to run into someone who's been there, done that. Usually I get a puzzled expression when I ask if someone knows what the Camino is.
@LosDosSloFolks @LindaAnn Somehow I don't think this hike qualifies as an LA Fitness hike. :-) |
