Sweetwater Trail

Today we met with the hiking group for a level C hike in the Sweetwater Trail.  A hikes are the hardest and D hikes are the easiest.  I liked this one a lot, but it really was a D, not a C.  The leaders tend to stop and chat and check on everyone's well being more often than I'd like which adds a lot of time to the hike.  What could have been 2 1/2 hours ended up being 3 1/2 hours.


Notice how the Ocotillo is a bright green.  Down is southern Tucson things are warmer and plants are blooming much faster than up in Saddlebrooke.


Tons of Saguaro and Prickly Pear on this hike.
