Hike with my sister in Phoenix at South Mountain. Approximately -
7-8 miles. Temperature High 80s
I had a wonderful time visiting my sister in Phoenix last weekend. It was nice to get away from the rain in Portland and head to such a warm area. It got up to the high 90's most of the days that I was there. The swimming pool was quite a treat. It was interesting that my sister, neice and nephew felt it was too cold to swim. I felt the water was refreshing and it felt wonderful to warm up on the pool deck after swimming. Also had the best barbeque chicken, made by my sister and her husband. I need to look for Snider's Barbeque spice here in Portland. Also enjoyed spending time with the youngsters (really teenagers).
Anyway, the hiking at South Mountain was fun, mostly because I was able to spend time chatting with my sister. The whole hike looked pretty much the same. I guess that's what you expect in the Sonoran Desert. I am sure that people who live in Phoenix recognize and appreciate the beauty and diversity of the park. I think it is just different than what I am used to here in the Pacific Northwest. I did get a few good pictures.
