The first signs of wildflower season were seen on our five mile hike today. These are Prairie Verbena and a much nicer lavender color than this photo shows. Today with the hiking club we went into Oracle for one of the many hikes there. This was a relatively easy hike. We were expecting seven miles, but it turned out to be only five and a half. No one complained.
This photo shows how far out we appear to be but really, the trailhead was only a 20 minute drive from our house (which is close for Saddlebrooke). Not many cactus on this hike, but a lot of nice views, rolling hills, and oak trees.
We are expecting a bit of a rainstorm this weekend and into next week and fear our great weather will be taking a break. One of the fun things about hiking with "the club" is that we learn to much about other things to do and see in Tucson and all over the world. Everyone is interesting and has a lot of experience with hiking and traveling.
