Solo morning hike at Kartchner Caverns State Park


March 13, 2016

After our various perambulations (!) in the last couple of days, Dave was in no mood to "climb another friggin' mountain"  so I went solo in the early-ish morning and had a great 3+ mile hike.  


As usual, there were warnings about evil creatures on the trail.... a new one, the Gila monster (yikes!), the only venomous lizard in AZ....

Luckily, this image is from Google...

Here too, spring is in evidence, and the desert is beginning to bloom!




It is always satisfying to get to the top and see the view...

Oh yeah, I did come across this giant ground sloth....but it looked pretty friendly!
