A couple of times on our break, we went for a splendid hike that begins about 2 blocks from the Formans' front door. It's got mountains, saguaros, lizards, strange and scary black beetles, a bee hive in a cliff side, all kinds of flowers, and even some water (see below).
The coolest cactus we could find.
The ridge line.
The water behind the dam.
Kyle, atop a mountain, the highest one, I think.
He said it was very windy.
I declined the offer to climb it with him, as I was really tired at that point.
On the side away from the city. This would be the North side.
Beautiful view of Lake Pleasant Parkway.
Here is the suburbia side. The first home you see across the street is the Forman home.
Looking straight down, this is how high we were at one point.
Gave me vertigo.
Me, in all my hiking glory. And suburbia behind.
I love this desert!
A parting shot. This land is gorgeous!
