Just for the record, the fellows led the way.
Not because we females were necessarily slow hikers,
but I was the one with the camera!! ;-)

Cactus flowers just amaze me. They don't seem to belong there, but they are so lovely.
Love hikes ... how fun ... Happy Easter!
Very nice! The flowers are beautiful, as are the cacti and the scenery.
Bobbi, You are absolutely right! They just take your breath away!!
Joey, We were able to take several hikes... one of my favorite activities! It was a great get-away. Easter blessings to you.
Sande, Thanks for visiting. We had a great time! :-)
That looks like a great hike! I've done plenty of nice hikes, but never one where there are cacti along the way - it must be amazing! Thanks for sharing.
In the midst of such an arid climate, I love seeing these succulent cacti. Beauty can be found in everything. Happy Easter!
Phoenix, Yes it was great. I have more photos of a couple of other hikes, etc. It was amazing. It was fun to almost recognize something that you have "back home" and discover that it's not at all the same. ha.
chris, Thanks for visiting. In this created world, it is a priceless experience - finding beauty all around you.
Hi SG, Wonderful to see your holiday pics - we obviously have similar taste, like going to out of the way uncrowded places - I love deserts and hope now one day to see Arizona. No cacti in Australian deserts - and the sand and rocks are red. Thanks for the visit and comment on my holiday post. Cheers, catmint
