The Arizona weather is nice today, in the 80’s, clouds are forming out west. The forecast is calling for thunderstorms. After an hour on the freeway, we take the dirt road and look for the trail head . After stopping the Park Ranger and asking for directions we finally found it. Park, slap on my hiking shoes grab lance (my friendly Border collie) and off we go.

Now they said in the article that the trail head could be hard to find. We stumbled around a bit, but found it and off we went.

Stay tuned I really love exploring  (Arizona). I always have my phone and see things that would make an awesome painting or just an awesome photo. The beauty, the solitude that I experience is great for the soul.
