The Egret

I asked Google Photos for help identifying this bird, so if I got it wrong I apologize. This bird was wading alone in one of the ponds at Papago Park while looking for its dinner.

Latourell Falls

Latourell Falls is one of the few falls in the Colombia River Gorge where you could potentially walk right up to the water falling 249 feet from the top. Preferring to stay as dry and arm as the blustery day would allow, we climbed down to the water but stayed well back from the water’s impact point.

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.

Saguaro

The Saguaro cactus is one of the most prominent plants in Arizona. They can tower above the desert with an imposing height over 30 feet tall and weight (when full with water) of up to 4800 pounds. For such a large plant the root structure is relatively shallow with most roots only 4-6 inches underground but spread out from the base as far as the cactus is tall. Provided the right conditions the saguaro cactus can live 150-200 years.

Lockett Meadow

For the past couple week’s I have been itching to get out and see some fall colors. I debated on taking a trip to Washington or Colorado. In the end I decided to focus my attention on a part of Arizona that I’ve driven through a few times but have never stopped in, that being Flagstaff. In particular I was curious to check out Lockett Meadow which I’ve heard amazing things about. Last Monday I finally had the chance to go check it out and it certainly did not disappoint. Lockett Meadow is a mix of rustic camping sites and parking for day adventurers looking for a picnic or hike. The Inner Basin Trail head can be found here and, after gawking at the incredible views, is where I decided to spend my time. The trail provides a sometimes gradual, sometimes not so gradual uphill grade that evens out to switchbacks the latter part of the hike. Unbeknown to me at the time, what you are hiking up is actually the sides of an ancient volcano long since dormant which erupted and formed the San Francisco Peaks. While I I 100% recommend this area and this hike to anyone wanting to get out of Phoenix and out into nature, particularly this time of year when the colors are spectacular, there are a couple things to keep in mind. The last 3 miles of the drive are definitely off-road and while I saw very average passenger cars making the trip don’t expect to bring a trailer up with you…the road is too rough and in some sections barely wide enough to allow two cars to pass each other. Parking at the meadow is pretty good but I would definitely recommend car-pooling to limit the number of vehicles you would have to find spots for. Finally, make sure you bring enough water for your adventure as there are no drinkable water sources on them mountain.

Mt. Lemmon Vista

Mt. Lemmon is the highest point in the Santa Catalina mountains with an elevation of 9,159 feet and sits just east of the city of Tucson. The mountain is home to numerous hiking trails, an observatory and a ski resort. The mountain is a popular destination for the residents of Tucson and Phoenix, particularly during the summer months as the temperature at the summit is generally 20 degrees cooler than it is at the base.
