Hiking - Part deux


Here are some pictures from a couple hikes we took in April. It was already getting very hot and we knew we had a limited window of opportunity for hiking so we went as often as we could.

You really can't hike in the summer unless you start out very early in the morning or get an unseasonably cool day... it happens, but not often.

The area here has pretty flora and fauna, and then there are the bad boys of the desert. We came across this guy sunning himself and figured he had to be a tough guy. Half his rattle was missing.

We went to a place with petroglyphs on one hike. Unfortunately, a very popular place. So much of the native art has been defaced it's hard to tell what was original and what is carved graffiti.

The pool there had loads o' toads and the lizards were running every which way.

Ian and I climbed all the way to the top of an outcropping to get away from the crowd and had a pretty good view.
