Pima Canyon

Alisha says: We decided to mix things up last Saturday and go for a hike. We met Alex at the Pima Canyon trailhead right as the sun was coming up for a nice hike through the desert. It had rained the evening before so the air was a little bit cooler and the trail was still a little damp. I love the way the desert smells after it has rained. Alex almost stepped on a huge four foot plus gopher snake who was hanging out on the trail and we also saw a huge millipede. We also saw a group of people hiking with their two pet goats. We are looking forward to doing some more hiking now that the race season is over.

 The snake is on the right side of the trail in front of Alex. We wanted him to get closer but he didn't like that idea.
Saturday night the biggest rain storm since we have lived in Arizona hit Tucson. There was tons of lightning and it just poured for quite a while. A lot of the streets were flooded and I even got to see water running in the Rillito River for the first time.
