Apache Junction, Hiking in Usuary Mtn. Regional Park

Finally back out for a hike!  It's been a while.  I don't know why it is even though we are retired, we just can't do everything we want to do all the time!;)

Had a great hike! Love the saguaro cactus.....a little wildlife. A beautiful day!  The small mountain is called Pass Mtn. The locals call it Scarface and you can see why.  Wanted to hike on the mountain but the trail was so busy we opted for a lower hike and will do the mountain and Wind Cave(on the mountain) another day.
