mountains!!!
Mountains all around....so, we thought we'd scale a few:)
Perfect weather for outdoor activities: blue, blue sky and mid
60's..... Today's hike was at McDowell Mt Preserve...very short drive away....
It feels like you're in another world- quiet, rugged, serene. As you trek along, signs of life pop up: quail flitting around looking for food;
desert lizards and I'm sure coyotes lurking under rocks til nightfall. It's a better work out than the gym....huffing 'n puffing as you make your way "up"
( it kinda sneaks up on you)..and going down uses another set of muscles that haven't
been used in a while.... Hiked for about 1 1/2 hours...stopped to enjoy some scenic overlooks and to guess what
some of the cacti and other vegetation is. Nature sure gets you back to basics .....and helps you to
slow down the hectic pace of life.
