Hieroglyphic Trail Hike March 21 2008





On Friday of the boys' spring break we dragged Dad away from his work and went on a short hike. Isaac wanted to carry all our stuff (which was just a few snacks and water) to help him prepare to go to Havasupai Falls in September.


The wild flowers were beautiful. In the pictures you mostly see yellow but there were also orange, red, purple and white with several varieties of each. The hike is pretty easy but it's a bit of a climb back to some pools of water and some indian petroglyphs. ("Hieroglyphic Trail" was an incorrect name given to it many years ago.)


We saw a big lizard, that looked like he could have been an iguana but he was hiding in a crack so we couldn't see him really well and we couldn't get a picture. We "found" him when Pam was walking by and hearing something move turned back the other direction running into Arnie. Of course, Arnie was not afraid to look and saw that it was a lizard, not a snake.
