Water Tower Plaza

When I first moved to AZ in 2012, I spent a week living in Gilbert Arizona with the gracious parents of my friend and soon-to-be roommate/study buddy/RN school classmate Nate. At the time the downtown area had some nice places to eat and a few shops to meander through. Since then the area has blossomed and now sports a wide variety of eating establishments and entertainment venues.

The centerpiece of this area is Water Tower Plaza. The water tower was erected in 1927 and was initially used to store water for firefighting and then transitioned to hold drinking water until 1985. A nearby pump house provided the pressure needed to push water to the tower’s height of over 230 feet. Gravity then provided the pressure needed to disperse the water to the town’s residents. While the water tower ceased operations after 1985 the decision was made in 2008 to renovate the water tower and build the plaza that it now sits on. The property now hosts numerous events throughout the year and the tower has been fitted with lighting that draws the eye after the sun goes down.

Monsoon Season 2022

It’s monsoon season here in Phoenix, and we’ve had multiple days of strong winds, rains, flooding, and thunderstorms. I got off work a little after 3 am on Thursday morning and was treated to quite the light show on my drive home so I ran around until about 8 both at home and south mountain taking in the storm.

Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary

My friend Taylor reached out to me in January with the following text, “Sooo, tickets to Banff in May are low right now……” So, we went. Random out of the blue invitations to amazing travel destinations is definitely something I’m almost always down to entertain. We were in Banff Canada from May 19th to the 24th and the next few posts will involve pictures from that trip.

Our first full day in Banff was already planned to be low-key as we weren’t scheduled to land in Canada until about 10p after a full day of travel. After a few delays, we didn’t arrive at our Airbnb in Canmore until about 3 am. So it was good that we could just wake up whenever on Friday. When we first looked at doing this trip there was definitely one thing I absolutely wanted to do and that was to visit the Yamnuska Wolf Dog Sanctuary about halfway between Calgary and Canmore. It meant we had to backtrack a bit but we didn’t mind since it was pitch black on the way up and this gave us our first glimpse of the mountains.

The sanctuary was created in 2011 to provide public awareness and education about Wolfdogs. The Sanctuary came to be after the founder got her first Wolfdog and came to realize the special needs and challenges that raising and caring for such an animal would entail. The sanctuary rescues Wolfdogs from ill-prepared or dangerous breeding situations or individuals who obtained one thinking it would be like owning any other dog. Many of the Wolfdogs were not treated well and tend to be very wary of human interaction. For this reason, most of the rules, and the safety releases we signed, are positioned far more for the comfort and well-being of the animals than for the humans allowed into their enclosures. A couple of photos seem to show a menacing appearance in the Wolfdogs, but it’s really just a moment in time. The animals were, as advertised, timid, shy, curious and very calm. I cannot overstate the beautiful nature of these animals and if you find yourself anywhere near the sanctuary I highly encourage you to go check it out.

The Sanctuary relies on various forms of income but also heavily on private donations. If you would like to donate follow this link: Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary Donations

Greetings from Thunderbird!

I’m trying to break out of hiking my usual trails and as such went hiking in Thunderbird Conservation Park in north Phoenix. The park incorporates the Hedgepeth Hills, named after an early homesteader that settled in the area. The name Thunderbird comes from a WW2 pilot training facility located 4 miles south of the park. Hosting biking, hiking, and horseback riding, the park claims approximately 15miles of multi-use trails.

Pyramid Trail Sunset

The Pyramid Trail runs between the 19th Ave Trailhead and the National Trail. It is an enjoyable, yet challenging trail consisting of a 1 mile lead up to a 0.8-mile steep climb through numerous switchbacks and then leveling off to a ridgeline view of Ahwatukee and the Phoenix Radio Towers.
