| no partners | | Badger Springs is one of our favorite places to take the pups for some exercise and to get outside without a committing drive. This spring the area was perhaps the most scenic I have seen it due to some robust winter precipitation and a subsequent super bloom of flowers of all varieties.
The winter rains and snow in the Bradshaw Mountains did the Agua Fria well this year and it led to a pretty spectacular destination at times where Badger Springs intersects the Agua Fria. Similarly, the winter rains did wonders for the wildflowers in the area as well. For the first time in my over ten years of going to Badger Springs, I observed poppy super blooms on several of the hillsides upstream from the confluence with Badger and the rest of the wildflowers are represented equally as well in the area.
On a sentimental note, similar to the flowers and the local reservoirs, this spring has been a bit of a renaissance for my now 12 year old dog Blanco who had a pretty rough fall. However, like the flowers and the ephemeral waterways, Blanco found his groove again this spring. And although He is no longer capable of getting out for large hikes with us anymore, he is perfectly capable of low key days at places like Badger Springs. Hence the fact that I think we have made at least four separate trips to the area in the last month alone.
I attached an assortment of pics from our "spring" trips to Badger over the last month and set them to hide for seven days to avoid spamming the homepage. If you come across these in research, I hope you enjoy and if you have a trail trained pup, I would highly recommend the area. |
