Scott is feeling much better so we went on a hike
at Catalina State Park in Tucson.
The trails were wide and sandy.
Beautiful views of the Santa Catalina Mountains.
Cacti and flowers were blooming.
This little critter stopped to posed just long enough
for a picture.
We hiked the Canyon Loop Trail
where you have to step aside for any horse traffic.
Stunning views with the mountains, Saguaro, and stream.
We tip-toed across the rocks a few times on this trail.
Wow, look at all those arms!
This is an old Saguaro.
Next we drove to Oracle State Park about 25 miles
north of Tucson. It is a 4,000-acre wildlife refuge and more.
Kannally Ranch House was constructed between 1929-1933.
This four level adobe house is a unique Mediterranean style
with Moorish influences and is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
We relaxed on the patio and enjoyed a great view.
It was a windy day but we didn't mind.
Interesting painting on the ceiling beams.
We didn't get to see much of the house inside because
there was a photography class in session.
1,100 head of cattle used to graze in this area.
Great view of the Galiuro Mountains range and
Santa Catalina Mountains.
Another great day in Arizona!
Happy Easter!
