You might remember my earlier post about the Bajada Nature Trail but it occurred to me today that I haven’t posted any images of the finished trail. Here are two showing hikers enjoying the signage which is filled with photographs of the preserve. The trail is less than a mile but it can take awhile to see/read/enjoy all the information on the signs. A very worthwhile visit!

For all the photographers who follow my blog….this trail has spectacular views of the McDowell
Mountains and includes excellent specimens of desert cacti and flora. You won’t be disappointed!
The trail is 6 feet wide which allows plenty of room for people to pass you while you’re shooting.
