Bob, Nick, Marilyn, and I hiked five miles out (and five miles back) on the Barnhardt Trail on Sunday. Total ascent was over 2,000 feet.
We heard, and then saw, an Arizona Black Rattlesnake. I had never seen this type of rattlesnake before.
I think this might be fleabane:
A view of the waterfall; only a small trickle of water was flowing through it on our visit.
Just outside of the alcove leading into the waterfall:
A dead tree – one of many – a short ways up the trail from the waterfall:
Bob scouted ahead while I was taking shots of the waterfall with my tripod. He recommended this shot of the pincushion (mammillaria) cacti.
This shot was taken near the intersection with the Sandy Saddle Trail.
This panorama was constructed from 33 separate exposures. Eleven three shot brackets were processed individually to form eleven exposure merged files. These eleven files were edited in Lightroom and then combined into a panorama in Photoshop.
