Hi there!Hope you had a Merry and warm Christmas Day. It was beautiful and sunny here, although a little cool in the morning and breezy in the afternoon.
Since Kelly only had one day off for the holiday we stayed close to home. Instead of buying a ton of things that we don't really need we opted for going on a hike. We went with our friends and their dog. We all had a great time. I hiked in about 2.5 miles and then hiked back out. The others did the full loop which came out to just over 9 miles. Here are a few pictures from the hike.
Surprisingly there was quite a bit of water flowing along the way. It has been quite a while since the Superstition Mountains have seen this much water.
The views and vistas were amazing. The entire area is a collapsed volcanic caldera from about 20 million years ago. The rocks have weathered into some incredible shapes.
The picture below is of Weaver's Needle. If you are anywhere near it with Kelly he will tell you the story of how he and Dan climbed it and ended up having to come back down as the sun set.
Next up: New Year's Day, we're thinking either a short hike or a bike ride. Check back for pictures
Merry Day After Christmas,
Alene
