Yesterday's Hike Part 2

On our hike yesterday we went via a different route than we usually hike. This route took us long the south side of both of the cat peaks. On the smaller of the two peaks, on the south side, is a cave that used to be the home to a mountain lion (so we've been told.) Hence the name "cat peaks."

The cave's entrance is visible as a small black area just to the left of the top of the saguaro.

That's not standing water on the lower left side of the picture - it's my finger blocking part of the lens. OOPS!
