Whenever we visit this region, the Vineyard hike is a must, a trail we undertake at least once on each occasion. We rise about 2,000 feet but in a short distance, take in views of Roosevelt Lake for most of the hike, catch glimpses of the Salt River, search for additional routes and try to avoid the spikes of the cacti. Thereafter, it gets even better. The color of the water changes constantly and one can be sure that on each hike, one will gain a different perspective. Maybe the color is affected by the sweat streaming into our eyes.
Much higher up, first view of the Salt River.
Loved the grass, the saguaros and yes, the glorious lake.
Trudging up a path in an incredible environment--it doesn't get better.
Cactus country.
Roosevelt Lake in all its splendor. (And we're not even biased.)
Life is one, long, uphill battle. Is there a better way?
"The green, green grass of home"...Tom may declare. We love the grass coloring, the sheen and shine.
Only another mile to the car.
