Today's Hike

Today we hiked a very crowded Silly Mountain. School must be out because there were a lot of children hiking. And lots of snowbirds too. Today we hiked a couple of trails that we hadn't been on before, the Jackrabbit Trail and the Coyote Loop Trail. We also took the short side trail to the top of Old Baldy, the hill on the southeast side of Silly Mountain. It's fun to hike on new trails!

Today's Hike

Wind Cave again, but in the afternoon this time. I think the different lighting made for a better, brighter picture. This is an HDR photo from my iPhone.
