PERFECT HIKING DAY

We found a hiking trail in La Quinta, CA on our All Trails app and decided to give it a try.  The app indicated it was a 4.4 mile out and back easy trail but when we got to the trail head it was actually a connecting trail to 3 or 4 other trails.  So we picked one and started walking. We're not crazy about wash trails because of the difficulty walking in sand but we managed to put in 4.13 miles in a couple of hours.

We were on the lookout for bighorn sheep and Denis spotted a herd of five. Two of them were very young and they were so cute kicking up their heels and pouncing around mom and dad.

Nice map at the trail head


Ready to go


This year the desert flowers
have been exceptional

Look closely for the bighorn sheep

We worked up a good appetite and looked forward to a couple of burgers on the grill when we got back.

Thanks for stopping in to say hi.  Hope you had a good day too.
