Today we went to Catalina State Park and hiked two 1-mile trails....the Nature Trail and Birding Trail. Sydney did great in her carrier as she slept the entire time.
Nature Trail
Catalina Mountains
Instead of a variety of trees in Minnesota, we have started learning about the various cacti and desert plants in Arizona.
 |
| Engelmann's Prickly Pear (i.e. Mickey Mouse ears) |
Not sure...
 |
| Saguaro (the tall ones behind Paul). These are a signature desert plant for Arizona. This is a young one, because Saguaros do not develop arms until they are at least 75 years old. |
 |
| An older Giant Saguaro, because of the additional arms. |
Arizona Barrel Cactus
Chain Fruit Cholla
Birding Trail
I love the pictures! I bet Gander is loving all the long walks ;)
