Those of you who know me well can stop laughing right now!
I actually enjoy climbing and walking - it's not my fault my weight and arthritic knees make this a less doable activity these days. I quite enjoyed the short hike we took - my face got flushed and my breathing was labored, but it felt good when I stopped.
The mountains around Phoenix are so different from the Rockies we're used to in Alberta...beautiful in their own way. Here are some pictures:
The intrepid hikers...

Two saguaros chatting...
A saguaro family on the trail...
The vista from the trail...
The trail ahead...
One of the beautiful huge houses perched halfway up the mountain...
The picture in my header is of an eantrance to a subdivision in Vistancia, off the Happy Valley Road, not far from Carefree Highway. Love the names!

you should've gone to that amazing restaurant while you were there!
Love those saguros! Guess and hopefully no snakes out yet! Sun looks lovely. It's mighty cold here now! Eamon goes home tomorrow! Mixed emotions sad & yet I'm so tired!
Hey that must have made for a great hike - Glad you were able to do it. sandie
You guys are awesome. Too bad there wasn't a river you could just walk into full clothed like I've known you to do.
