wind cave hike

One of my goals for our week of Sukkot was to get some good hiking in. The campground, Usery Park was a new one for us, thus untromped trails. Somehow the week flew buy with a couple of rainstorms and a couple of storm-induced headaches so that it was getting down to the wire before I got my hiking boots tied.  The last day of camp we set out on Wind Cave trail and what my week lacked in quantity of hike was made up for in quality. Not the cave, mind you, as that was a bit of a shallow disappointment, but the view...priceless, and the company delightful.

The climb.

Last week we celebrated Feast of Tabernacles with our fellow Hebrew roots followers. We spent 10 days (it's an eight day celebration but the first and last days are high holy days so days 9 and 10 were setup/tear down/travel days) at a campground just outside Show Low Arizona at about 6,000 feet elevation. Pine, Oak and Cottonwood trees, warm sunny weather, blue skies, puffy white clouds, a small lake and a picturesque stream all added up to a delightful experience and some inspiring nature photos. Many of my photos included this cute little yellow flower that kept drawing my attention begging to be photographed. I tried to pick my favorites but had a difficult time narrowing it down to fewer than these.
