Here are some pictures of the walking trail that encircles this complex. It was developed by the association here and has some lovely views of desert plants and Santa Rita Mountains.

Desert landscaping... cactus and rocks and pottery.

| Nice little bridge. I can't really see how water will get to this path, but then I've never been here in rainy season. |

 |
| Mesquite Park |
 |
| Santa Rita Mountains |
 |
| Most paths are level, but this one angles down toward the wash. The mountains are so beautiful. |
 |
| This is the second half of the 1 and 1/2 mile trail. |
 |
| Wishing Well Park |
 |
| The path that went down, must of course, go back up. It's not too hard, we just have to slow down till we get our huffing and puffing under control. |

| Bridge Park |

Whigham Wash

| Back home in the side patio. It has been in the 70s, but we have a nice breeze here. Long sleeves are needed in the shade. And everyone needs a serious sun hat! |
By now, you have a good understanding of the desert landscape. Remember, this is Arizona's winter view. The desert wild flowers will really add a different view. It has snowed the last 3 years we've been here, but this year it looks like all the snow storms went way north ( Polar Vortex, you know). So we'll have to see what moisture happened and if the wild flowers have a chance. |
