Went on this loop trail in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve North with Michigan Snowbird hiking friend, Jackie. We added on the side trek to Balanced Rock to make it a repeat of this same hike we did 3 years ago on Jan 21, 2019. It's an easy hike with very little elevation gain on well worn and marked trails. Great views of the erosion worn shapes of the granite boulders along this trail. Wildflowers were almost non-existent with only a few yellow Brittle Brush blooms showing around the parking lot. There were lots of blooming Brittle Bush on this same hike at the same time in January three years ago.
