| no partners | | Occasional cloud cover and breezes made this a better morning stroll. This would likely be a miserable hike in the heat. Kriket aptly demonstrated her cat-like reflexes be hurdling a juvenile Arizona Black that was sunning itself in the middle of the road. We both forgot to carry cash, so no fry bread at the rodeo grounds halfway point.  But the picnic lunch afterwards at Green Valley Park was a good substitute. Probably one and done for both these PATS trails since there are better, more challenging hikes up in these parts. |

| no partners | | | Decided to check this trail out on the Payson Area Trail Systems. This one is a nice length for a close to Payson hike. It was a fairly warm day. And the trail in really open and not much shade on it. Not a good one for the middle of summer even in Payson. With lots of scrub brush with pinon and juniper trees. There was quite a few flowers even being dry since the last of the rains have been so long ago. And the Hedgehogs were blooming. I only came across one lady and her three dogs on the other end of the trail. |
