| no partners | | Normally, on Christmas Eve, I hike Shaw Butte to visit it’s palo verde Christmas Tree. It’s a good work out hike. But not worth a new hiking video. Meanwhile, my lower elevation winter hiking program ran into a snag the last few weeks due to house issues. I’ve been doing bicycle rides, so I wasn’t physically lazy. But making videos keeps me mentally busy, so I needed to do a video-worthy locals hike.
I did this lasso counter-clockwise.
Cave Creek was lush, with lots of golden mesquite and green grass.
The most mature, elaborate, saguaro are beside Military Trail, along the west bank of the creek.
Flat Rock is smooth & zippy if you are MTBing the opposite direction, downhill.
Among today’s various trails, Quartz was the only CCRP segment I had actually put feet on before. (Several times.)
Back on Slate, I saw several MTBs. I did not see anyone else all day.
