Another day-hike with my cousin visiting from Washington State. We did the Granite Mountain Loop, including a short side trek to the Balanced Rock, in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve - North. This is one of my favorite hikes in this section of MSP. This time of year there is usually a generous display of wildflowers but not this year. Most of the Brittlebush were still working on growing out their leaves with no sign of flower buds. But the views of distant mountains and the granite rock formations plus good hiking company made for a great hike.
