first hike in the desert

this is the treasure loop trail in the superstition mountains. great hike, great trail, really proud of my mom (accompanied by my dad) for making it to the top, really, really sorry they were attacked by bees on the way back down.

the kids were also excited (and a wee bit frightened) to see their first--and only--arizona rattlesnake on this little jaunt. not coiled up and hissing (whew!), but lazily making its way across a sunny boulder that we were all standing on. shout out to afton and her eagle eye for spotting the snake before it got too close.



but first! all good hikes begin fresh with donuts. these ones hail from hurts donut, courtesy of opa d:



















good morning from our little snake friend:



summiting!
