Catalina State Park

It has rained so much this year. So much that everything is green in the desert. Yun went to Mexico for the holiday weekend, so in an effort to get out of the house, I took the dogs for a hike in Catalina State Park. I left the house this morning with no clear destination – but came across the park which turned out to be a fun option.

Because it has rained so much – the washes which are normally just rocks and dirt, have now turned into rivers. Only about half a foot to a foot deep – we waded up one for about a mile.

It was hot – too hot for Tila. The water probably helped a bit, but she was really struggling. She’s also getting old and not used to long walks any more. So we kept it pretty brief.

Even though brief – it was a fun hike. Fortunately we did not come across any rattle snakes. That would have been a disaster. When we got back to the parking lot, there was a young guy with a rattle snake head on a stick. Once the temperatures turn cool again, we won’t have to worry about them.
