| no partners | | I wanted to check out the flora and water situation out in the Spur Cross area.
Starting from the Jewel of the Creek Preserve TH, you could hear Cave Creek running almost immediately. This is a special little riparian area.
Dragonfly Trail to the Spur Cross Trail to the Elephant Mountain Trailto Limestone Trail. The farther in, the more diverse and plentiful the flowers were.
I took a brief break at the Elephant Mountain saddle to cool off in the breeze before jumping on the Limestone Trail. Limestone could use a bit of trimming as it does not get a lot of traffic.
Back down at Cave Creek the Good Friday family crowd was enjoying playing in and around the water.
The rest was just a jaunt back to the TH. |
