Desert Park Trail - MSP
Partners none no partners
Started 5:15am, ended 8:30am. Gateway visitor center to Inspiration Point on Gateway Loop trail and Windgate Pass Trail. Comfortable to start, about 68 degrees. In the shadow of the mountains for a good part of the hike up to Inspiration Point. A few hikers in the area of visitor center but few once I got out on the trail. Very nice at Inspiration Point just listening to the breeze and call of the birds.

More hikers on the way back as I got closer to the visitor center. No surprise. I hiked a short distance on Desert Park trail and ran into a roadrunner. He led me to his nest several feet off the ground in the arm of a saguaro where a young roadrunner was nesting.
