The other day I went on a "D" hike with the hiking club to Picacho Peak. "D" means it is flat, short and easy. This was not the case.
We had a lot of elevation gain and it was very rocky. It felt like we were just walking on bits of shale. Going downhill it was easy to slip and fall - a few people did.
I rode to the hike with an 80 year old Austrian man named Bernie who is a nice friend. He fell as it was too slippery for him. And our hike leader is a little goofy. This is my last organized hike of the season.
During our lunch break I saw all these baby Jumping Cholla plants growing on the ground. It's easy to see how these plants repopulate.
Some of the hiking group. No one is young.
