Scenic views are always beyond what the camera captures. Feb. 12, we hiked the Robles Pass, Camaro Loop, and 360 scenic view trail just a couple of miles west of our park. It was a cool early morning again with a cloudless sky that quickly warmed up to almost 80 degrees! We meet at 7:15 AM now that the weather is warmer and we leave at 7:30 AM. Yep, that’s early! But it is just something I really look forward to doing. This trail was only 4.1 miles but so pretty because we were in lush foliage of the Saguaro and Prickly Pear cacti. This trail took us up a small mountain to a 360 degree view of Tucson and surrounding mountains. We had a big group this time and it is so interesting to talk with different people each week and listen to their stories. Seems like I wind up riding in a different car each week! Some of the people are in some of the same other classes that I am so we are developing friendships. I didn’t get too many pictures because some of the views faced into the sun. These are the Catalina Mountains across the valley to the north in the 3rd picture.
I am standing at the top of the Vista Trail and I am in front of the mountain in the distance in the first picture below that we see in the distance every time we leave the park. We took a nice break at the top to enjoy the views before heading back to the rest of our loop. Gosh, but it was pretty up there!
So waiting until next week…and the park is having a picnic at the time we get back! Oh, boy! Free lunch!
Glad to hear you are having such a great time. And taking such great pictures.
