Rose Lynn joined 17 others for this hike along Saguaro Lake on Butcher Jones Trail #463. Bill had a morning zoom meetup with choir friends from Calgary and bridge in the afternoon.
We left here just before 8 am and drove 1/2 hour to the trailhead NE of Apache Junction. We spent almost 3 hours on an easy, out & back single track trail that rose and fell gently as it traced a path along the inlets of the lake. A calm, clear day, it was fresh enough for gloves and layers at the start but most returned in t-shirts!

Can you spot "Yosemite Sam" traced in black rock lichen
on the light rock face (above & right from saguaro)?
Thank-you to other hike photographers who shared their photos

Looks a lot greener than our hikes these days! That one cactus is kind of rude. 😄
