I took this pic from someone’s social media post of Humphrey’s Peak, outside Flagstaff. Thought it impressive with snow well down from the 12,600′ peak, the highest in AZ. I’ve climbed it twice, once with snow covering a portion of the trail on the upper slope. Not sure I’ll do it again. Portions of the trail are not fun to hike.
Meantime, back here in southern AZ, we enjoy what turned out to be a relatively brief fall. By that I mean, 3-4 weeks of high temps in the 80s, overnight lows in the upper 50’s to low 60s. The Thanksgiving displays are out but of course, no where in abundance of the Halloween displays.
Always something to see on the out and back, 3 miles of Woodland Rd.
Saguaro East NP is expanding its parking, a necessary improvement. Of course, the saguaros are carefully removed and replanted later.
Ahhh, the evening view from my patio.
If you ever find yourself in Casa Grande, you simply must stop at BeDillons Restaurant & Cactus Garden. Amazing decor. I went there recently to show it to someone and it’s worth the drive.
Then, back on the bike with the Cactus Cycling Club where we had a lengthy pause for a train.
Another day I rode through Oro Valley where land is being cleared for an apartment building. Some renters are going to have great views!
And of course, on my return from Saddlebrook, a 43 mile ride, I paused along OV Country Club for one of better views.
