Yesterday Lynn and I went on another hike to Brown's Ranch Trailhead in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, which is only couple of miles from her house. There are so many trails in the area. You could go somewhere different all the time. This wasn't quite as steep and rocky as Pinnacle Peak, but alot less crowded and more into nature. No houses around. We walked about 2.5 miles.
I'm standing in front of an Ocotilla Cactus. When it blooms, it has beautiful red flowers. To the right are the Squaro Cactus
Round Top Mountain
This bunny wasn't afraid of humans at all
Think they are Mr and Mrs's
This is a Prickly Pear cactus. I had a margarita made of this at Saguaro National park. Very tasty
Barrel Cactus
This is a Colla Cactus. It is called the jumping Cactus because the little balls seem to jump out at you as you walk by. BE VERY CAREFUL. The stickers have to be dug out of your clothes with a pliers. That has happened to me.
