Today’s hike was a loop comprising the Pemberton and Scenic Trail. Once that portion of the hike was done, some of us went up the wash off the Tonto Tank Trail to look at some of the small canyons in that area. Amy, Bob, Janet, Nick, Linda, Marilyn, Lynn, Mary Lou, Daniel, and Valerie showed up for the hike today. That’s eleven of us (counting me too).
Nick shows off his new stick made from a portion of an agave stalk. This was the same stick he found and used to negotiate the Barnhardt Trail several weeks ago. Different ornaments may be affixed to the top of the staff.
Erosion in one of the washes created this interesting formation:
We saw this owl during our exploration of the area. I had to crop the image significantly to get this picture. (The RX100 used to take this photo has a very limited zoom.)
More views from the wash:
When we got back, we saw a group of equestrians preparing for a trail ride.
