| partners | | Another short walk in Saguaro National Park, again at the Camino Loma Alta Trail Head. It has been quite warm and dry so there weren't much options close by for a very late afternoon hike. This time we hiked to the ridge between Deer Camp and Hope Camp before turning around. Got back to the car just as it was getting dark. Don't want to be on the trail if we can't see the snakes.
This trail is excellent just before sunset, views of the sunset are usually spectacular. There are options of the Ridgeview or Ruiz- Coyote Creek Trails depending on time constraints. No Rattlesnakes this time (Tiger or Diamondback) but we did bump into a tortoise heading west along the trail as we were heading east. Felt bad for it because it is so dry here. Wanted to take it home and give it food and water with my tortoises at home but that's a big NO NO, (don't even pick them up or they will expel a bunch of fluid which would be a bad thing for it in this dry weather). It will do just fine, it's been around probably 10 years and it has seen dry seasons before. As an after note it rained .5 inches at my house last night around midnight and maybe more along Tanque Verde Ride, I thought about the tortoise, probably doing a jig in delight for the water. |
