Friday Fitness Hike

Linda and I hiked ten miles on Friday…

One nice thing about starting early is seeing the sun rise.

We started off on the Tortoise Trail. When we got to this point on the Pemberton, I remembered that the Shallmo Wash Trail had been rerouted and is now out of the wash. We decided to check out the new trail.

I think we were on a the Long Loop when I got this shot of the bird on the saguaro.

We hiked a long way in Stoneman Wash. Shortly after crossing the Pemberton, we came upon the car.
