Piestewa Peak

Warmed up enough to play outdoors. Piestewa Peak has pretty steep trails,
some rocky "steps" , and a view overlooking the city of Phoenix. First hike was a short one, before picnic lunch, then a little longer one on the
steeper trail. Boy, you get winded quickly....a good chance to stop & enjoy the scenery.
Interesting to see greenery growing out of the rocks and the various types
of cacti.
Mineralogists would have a field day here....colorful rocks, marble-like flat stones,
red and orange patterned slabs and black ones that looks like onyx. Maybe I should
check it out; could strike it rich (although they frown on removing rocks or plants).
Here are a few " back to nature" pics ( hiking is not for the fashionistas:)
