A High Desert Hike

This is Traveling Sophie's last week here, so I wanted to show her one of my favorite places to explore. We started out walking along a little trail...

...and then Sophie saw some really strange plants!

And I had to tell her not to touch them because they are sharp! She felt like she was on another planet, but I told her this was normal for a high desert to have cacti. That is plural for cactus in case you thought that was an alien plant!

Then we went on toward the forest...

...and took a little break under the pine trees.

We had to admire the view:

I begged Tía to let us climb up in one tree because I've seen so many photos of dolls in trees this spring.

From up in the tree we saw a train going by way down below.

The End!

  3. Lovely photos! I think it's cool you guys got to climb a tree together! What desert are you in? I'm in the Sonoran Desert, which is a low desert with saquaros.
