We spent the afternoon with our son-in-law's parents Ron & Elise. They took us to the Granite Mountain Trailhead in the Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve. We found the desert habitat here to be quite different from our familiar east valley trails; the piles of rounded boulders differ dramatically from the sharp rock walls and pieces we have become familiar with in the Usery and Superstition areas.
After the hike we enjoyed a fabulous meal that they prepared and then settled in to scan through the previouly recorded Oscars (helped avoid ads and the blah, blah, blah!).
A great time!
Check out the rounded rock formations.
Springtime has festooned the area with lots of wildflowers including the showy Arizona Poppy.
An ambitious suguaro cactus has produced many "arms"
