I fell for the allure of a coolish, cloudy morning and headed to the end of Speedway, desperate for some hike time that didn’t involve two hours minimum in the car.

Within minutes of leaving the trailhead the evil sun reared its fiery self and set about roasting me.

I sucked it up and decided to keep going. It was a good thing too, because I got to see lots of critters much better acclimatized to roasting than I.

There was a desert tortoise, two deer, a squirrel, about a dozen lizards, and bugs. I got pictures and video of the tortoise and deer.

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
Barrel cactus is pretty much it. They look like their crowns are on fire, but maybe that’s the heat getting to me.
