Nature Hike




The Nature Hike I lead on Friday mornings is usually centered on the plants of the desert here in the park, like various cactus, trees, and shrubs. But today we had a treat, just as we were climbing up the Lightning Bolt Trail, a Roadrunner was perched on an outcropping next to the trail sunning himself and doing his cuckoos. We see the bird hanging around the campground looking for handouts all the time, but this is the first time I have seen him out on the trail.


Today people on the hike were from Arizona, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Ontario Canada.
