Marilyn and I hiked eight miles in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve and McDowell Mountain Park. We hiked the following trails (in order): Marcus Landslide, Rock Knob, Pemberton, Gooseneck, Rock Knob, Marcus Landslide, Feldspar, Tom’s Thumb.
Mushroom rock near the start of the Marcus Landslide Trail:
Rock pile on the Gooseneck Trail.
The Gooseneck Trail goes through this rock formation.
Climber on Sven Slab – I think he’s on the upper part of the first pitch of Quaker Oats (5.5). It’s also possible that he top-roped the climb to the left of Quaker Oats called I Sinkso (5.8R).
