I owe this photo to my hiking companions this morning. We were just ending our hike when someone spotted these Mule Deer behind the Palo Verde tree on the right. We stood very still hoping they would come out into the open and Voila! They walked right in front of one of the most recognized rock formations up in the North Preserve. Awesome 🙂
So…besides avoiding the heat, Mule Deer are yet another reason to get out early to hike! (click photo for full size)
