interesting geologic formation on the side of an outcropping

Pretty sight at the top of the hill

the desert is so pretty

not much for the cows to eat, but they look healthy

THE HACIENDA

Black Rock Park has a wonderful desert home available for park guests to use. It's really lovely and seldom in use. Karen and Donna enjoy the sitting room.

A HIKE UP TO THE FLAG

The Ocotillos are starting to blossom
Mary and Bella make it to the top

There is a geocache up here!

Looking DOWN on our usual ridge walk, this hill is steep and high but lots of fun to hike.

Paul encourages Bella

at the top: Not sure what the "762" means: elevation?

Paul arrives at the flag in 17 minutes

Beginning of a strenuous hike

New growth on a cholla

Looks easy enough at the start!
