climb is as viewed, not the paths but directly up.
A tight development some 2,000 feet below.
A closer view of the editor in action.
"Hi Guys." Early days on the Ventana Canyon Trail in Tucson.
Anthem trail in Henderson, a secondary hike near Black Mountain, returning from the towers.
The picture, one of my favorites, depicts the beauty and contrasts of the Mojave Desert providing
additional perspective of its size and variety of scenes, and where Jen fits into it.
It appears wherever one is in that region, Las Vegas is always visible. Nearing the trailhead
on our return following the Summerlin climb.
Early stage of the Romero Pools hike, Catalina Park, Tucson, approximately 1,200 feet.
Straying off trail on the Ventana Canyon hike proved to be a bad idea, prickly and slippery.
Romero Pools in Catalina State Park, Tucson, saving 'the last jump for me, Engelbert" or floating above the pools.
Contrary to popular belief that Hike-about is one laugh, an easy time of fun, frivolity and rest, we submit the contrarian view. Nothing could be further from the truth. For instance, one has to prepare one's food in the bush and eat it under difficult circumstances. Try cooking cereal and yoghurt over an open fire. Take a look at the struggle of eating, resting and negotiating with an editor in difficult circumstances:
'Breakfast at Tiffany's...ala Mojave Desert.
You'd think the editor would be more considerate and carry a duvet for her man. The poor guy
having to endure the rough stones and rocks. I don't know what's becoming of...
Some people become extremely impatient, another hazard of the trails. Others think a car is the same as a tent and will leave the door open, forgetting about the battery.
Getting really comfortable next to a powerful stream we struggled to cross some years ago. Obviously, the
editor does not let him get much rest at night or was it only 5 months after surgery—I hope the former though.
The ultimate way to hike after a good rest. Spot the horse...take your time.
When stuck or puzzled, hikers resort to strange behavior. He is reading his palm instead of a map, trying to determine the way down the mountain. Sanity is overrated.
One of many perspectives of Las Vegas, at dawn, enjoyed on this segment of Hike-about.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
