Attended the Maricopa County Animal Shelter Wag n Walk adoption hike. Lots of friendly dogs hoping to get adopted. We brought our dog along for the hike.

We started at the Buckhorn Campground, rode down to the Chain Fruit Trail (not yet in trail guide as the trail is only a month old), headed northwest toward the Lost Sheep Trail. We rode north on the Lost Sheep Trail out to the Nature Center and then back to the junction with Chain Fruit. We continued down Lost Sheep until we ran into Moon Rock Trail. We continued south on Moon Rock Trail until the trail turned around toward Blevins Trail. We headed north on Blevins Trail until it met back up with Chain Fruit. Returning on Chain Fruit, I took the wrong campground trail and ended up at the group campground. We turned around back to Chain Fruit, continuing until we reached the correct campground trail back to Buckhorn Campground.

Lost Sheep is a fun downhill trail from the Nature Center to Moon Rock. Moon Rock has turns with rocks that were more than my limited skill could handle without slowing down quite a bit. Blevins Trail was very sandy and a workout climbing back up to Chain Fruit in that sand. Chain Fruit is nicely packed. It was a pleasant climb with slight rolling dips along the way.

Started at Area 10 and headed out west on Blevins Trail to Chain Fruit. Off Chain Fruit, we took the spur out and back to the Buckhorn Campground. Back at Chain Fruit, we continued north toward Lost Sheep Trail. We headed north on Lost Sheep toward the Nature Center. We interrupted a family photo shoot on the trail just outside the Nature Center. We turned back around and took Lost Sheep down to Moon Rock Trail. On Moon Rock, we headed east toward Blevins Trail. At Blevins, we headed north back to Area 10. Nice bike ride and first time on Chain Fruit, Lost Sheep, and Moon Rock.

We started the loop in very late in the day and completed most of the hike in the moonlight. We spotted an owl atop a saguaro! A nice hike indeed.

We walked from the Quail Loop campground down Dead Horse Ranch Rd to pick up the trail. It started to rain while we were checking out the Lime Kiln. I completely missed the sign to the kiln, but luckily my husband was more observant than me. We put our rain jackets on and kept heading up the trail. We checked out the Rattlesnake Wash Overlook spur. We intended to hike the Thumper Loop, but when we got to the Thumper Trail, the rain storm was growing darker and appeared we'd get heavier rains. We turned around to head back to camp.

We parked at the Roosevelt Bridge and headed up the trail. It is a good climb until you get to the radio tower at the top of the hill. We hiked up to the radio tower before heading back. There were tons of wildflowers and nice views of the dam. The lake was beautiful in the background.

We started at the SRP Roosevelt houses and hiked to the top of the hill. When the elevation starts to drop again, we turned around. Just a nice short hike through abundant windflowers.
