A Desert Hike

Weather was beautiful again today, a bit warm for this time of year even, perfect for a walk. We drove over the pass to the rugged 4x4 trail to Cool Springs. The trail was pretty hairy for the pick-up so we parked and took off on foot. Click the photos to enlarge.

Looking towards Golden Valley
Range cattle block the route
  
Tag and desert willow
Watch out for that cactus!
Wild burros watch us
The spring!
Pool after pool of cool water

Tag goes after the stick
Got it!

Now to get out
Tux, always happy to be wet
Warm enough for a small snake
Moo-bye
