Merry Christmas. After a visit with the family for brunch Ginny and I did a short 5 mile hike in Saguaro National Monument around sunset. We hiked up Tanque Verde Ridge which we have done a few times before. This is a good workout hike 2.5 miles in and about 1500 feet of elevation gain. Clear sky's after the storm on Wednesday and Christmas morning. the sunset was spectacular. Saw one deer on our hike out, this is what I call a park pet, not spooked by humans unlike the deer we saw on the La Milagrosa Hike that took of running when they heard us coming.

A little bit of water seeping from the rocks along the trail and some pooling in the small creeks but the light rain we got wasn't enough to get any of the streams flowing. Lots of people along the first mile up to the first saddle after that only a couple of hikers
