| partners | | My first visit to this new park. It’s a nice park and well-constructed. Chris invited me to come along. His son, Demetri, came along too.
My knee issue is still giving me problems, but it does seem to be getting better with the PT and exercises I have been doing. A little sore after this little hike, but I am encouraged by my progress.
We did a short loop and then walked along the even easier interpretive trail near the parking area. I stopped at 4 miles and Chris and his son added another 4 miles after I left.
Looks like I missed the saguaro blooms by a week or two. Summertime “crunchies” are the norm now for most of the flora. I will come back to this park and complete all of the trails, but with other more scenic options nearby, it’s probably not on my go-to list in the future. A good place to bring out-of-towners in the cooler months.
No critters in sight, but we did see multiple paraglider/paramotor crafts. That would be fun to try, but the sudden loss of lift (and subsequent sudden imposition of the laws of gravity) would be on my mind from take off to touch down.
As Chris mentioned, the park was empty. Heat is a strong filter in this part of AZ. Mad dogs and Englishmen, only. |
