I stopped in Cherry on the way back from Phoenix to stretch my legs. This looked like a nice area with lots of ponderosas and maybe even some springs. The only spring that had some water was Log Springs and it only had a trickle. I ended up hiking out to Medlar Spring which was completely dry. On the hike back I got some nice views of the rest of the Black Hills. I always wonder what areas such as the Black Hills looked like a long time ago when they were more forested. After my hike I took Cherry Road north, back to the 260. This was a super cool drive that I had never done before. There were some great views of Sedona with the Peaks in the background. The Boulder Creek / Cherry Creek area just southwest of the Grief Hill Trailhead looks quite interesting. I hope to check it out in the near future.

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
