Mark's Scenic Arizona

Barnhardt Trail = May 20, 2007

Clouds during the climb kept it cool

Sunshine on the return brought sharper colors

Near the start
Litterbug... stuck can in branch
Rocky part of the trail
Looking across the canyon
Looking back toward trailhead
Looks like a sign to me!
Century plant at an angle
A little water down there
Rock Echeveria
Reminder of the fires
Looking ahead on the trail
Zig-zags of rock
More patterns in the rock
Cactus like sea urchins on a rock
More rock
Witch tree?
Close-up of the little water we saw
Plants blending right in
This fella was a noisy one!
Majestic looking old rock
Craggy rock
Stop in the shade...
And look down on this scene...
Or up here...
Or here...
Yup, this pic is right side up
Lighter colors with the sun peeking through
Distinctive looking old rock
Could hear trickling water from here
My son admiring the scenery
Switchbacks in the trail
My son thought I deserved a cameo
Almost like steam from a volcano
Rock Echeveria
Rock Echeveria
Rock Echeveria close-up
Looks like an avalanche
This guy flew right into my head
Still moving
Also have video of this guy
Colorful patch of cactus
Wow, what sharp colors!
Tadpoles on the move
Now you can see a few
Close-up
Water strider in there somewhere
There he is
Guess what's in there
