Welcome
to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and maybe share a
picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. While we were in Page AZ, the pawrents went on a hike to see some cool gardens in the middle of the desert!
Even though I wore my sun hat, they still said it was too hot for little black puppies...
While looking through the different hikes to do in Page, the pawrents came across The Hanging Garden Trail. At only 1.5 miles round trip, they thought this trail would be perfect for a warm Arizona morning.
The trail was pretty easy going at the start, with beautiful scenic views of the desert.
After a bit, the rocks got a bit wavy, and the terrain got a little more hilly...
There were cool cairns stacked in different places marking the trail.
(A cairn is a human-made pile, or stack, of stones raised for a purpose, usually as a marker)
The pawrents said the temps were in the mid 90s(F) during the hike out and back from the gardens and they were very glad I was staying cool in CeCe...
This raspberry is what I thought about that!
I am going to make sure to share my opinion about where and when we go on our adventures next year!
Now where was I....
When the pawrents arrived, they were amazed at both the 15 degree drop in temperature AND the beautiful ferns they found growing out of the walls.
They found out that moisture seeps into the sandstone from springs formed by winter rains and snow run off.
Isn't it amazing to see greenery like this.....
and then turn around and see a desert like this???
Here's hoping we get to visit again when it's a bit cooler so that I can tag along!
It's been a rough week here in Blogville, and we want to send lots of love and POTP to a few of our longtime followers and friends....
on Tuesday
and to Beau and Mad Snapper(and other friends in Florida) as they recover and clean up from Hurricane Milton's devastation.
We wish all of our friends a Nature filled weekend!
