This was a hike from the Adero Canyon TH that was composed of 5 different loops -- enough to make @The_Eagle green with envy!

Trail Sequence: TH>Promenade>Andrews-Kinsey>Alternate>Promenade>Sonoran>South Crossover>Lower Sonoran>North Crossover>Sonoran>Wilderness>Western>Promenade>Mesquite Hollow>Mesquite Spur>Mesquite Hollow>Sonoran>South Crossover>Lower Sonoran>Promenade>TH

There was something blooming throughout most of the hike: brittlebush, chuparosa, poppies, scorpion weed, fiddlenecks, blue richards, and ocotillo were what I noticed the most

I did a variation of this loop today.

In started on the Promenade Trail and then went on the Alternate Route, Andrews-Kinsey Trail, and Western Trail. While descending on the Western Trail I came to a new trail -- the Wilderness Trail. I had no idea where the Wilderness Trail went, but I figured that there was a sure fire way to find out where it went, so I took it. It went 1.8 miles to the now 3-way junction with the Sonoran Trail and the Mesquite Hollow Trail. From there I went on the Sonoran Trail to the Fountain Hills Preserve Boundary, and then came back to the TH on the Lower Sonoran Trail and the Promenade Trail.

The Wilderness Trail is aptly named -- it is somewhat of a primitive trail, being narrow with a number of steep, rocky sections.
