CATCHING UP- PART THREE- SILLY MOUNTAIN

Silly Mountain. Botanical Walk. We chose the BW so we could have fairly level terrain to explore.
Why? Well, one, we don't climb, and two, look what he's holding.

Sure-footedness  is needed when the Ace is flying the quad. He is standing near an ocotillo cactus. All tall and spindly with bright red and orange flowers on top.

Botanical Walk is also an interpretive trail.
I like little signs telling me what I'm looking at.

There are so many varieties with signs but we'll only share a few.

There are views like this to enjoy too.



I'm planning another post, filled with local cacti and flora. 

There it is- Silly Mountain. A very popular spot.
It's 7:30 in the morning and there are ten cars in the lot.
What's he looking at?

You need to click on the pic to see what's in the circle.

It's a bird, a plane, no.... it's
super quad!

Ta da!

These views never get old.
Superstition Mountains in the background.
A beautiful saguaro in the foreground. It has a bird nest for a cactus wren, and a chewed up base. 
So many of them are chewed and beat up, but they keep living on. Tough guys. 

A bit of colour here.

Dog friendly.

A last look as we were leaving.

One minute later.

That's a brief showing of our trek to Silly Mountain.

Did you know that Brian has a youtube channel?
You should check it out!
