Hey friends! Over the weekend, we went to the Santiago Canyon hiking trails as it’s been a while since we were here. Last year was a great hike for viewing animals like gophers, deer,s birds, lizards, and others but this year we didn’t see deers. Instead we saw a bunny at the entrance, lizards, and bugs and beautiful flowers. We started at around 8:30 and finished at 11:30am. There were some trails that were easy and a few that really kicked our butts. Training right now is important since the Yellowstone trip is only in a few more days!!
For breakfast, I had coffee with the Mexican Pastries we got from the Ranch Market.
Aww look at the cute bunny we saw before we started the hike!
Isn’t this cacti flower pretty? It’s so yellow and vibrant. It’s definitely looking like spring.
This yellow flower was like a vine growing between the cactus.
I wasn’t sure what this spiky “fruit” is. It looks like a mutated kiwi doesn’t it?
Here’s a close up….Do you guys happen to know what it is?
There was actually water in the creek! Even after the crazy hot weather we’ve been having.
The Oak trails was a moderate trail and then we looped around the grass hopper trail which was simple. We tried to visit the visitors center but they were closed on Sundays. The highlight of the hike was the strenuous hike and reaching the top of the trail.
