Hot in June, but Saguaros are flowering.

The end of Wildhorse Trail. During summer monsoons and the winter rains the water is definitely flowing.
Great day for a hike. Taking a look back North towards Aqua Caliente Peak in the foreground and the Catalina Mountains just before the climb up to Three Tank Trails junction.

Hot in June, but Saguaros are flowering.
Great day for a hike. Taking a look back North towards Aqua Caliente Peak in the foreground and the Catalina Mountains just before the climb up to Three Tank Trails junction.
Seems like a lot of Saguaros... guess that's why it's called Saguaro National Park. Can never great enough of these majestic giants. All unique in their own way. You can see they are just starting to get their flower buds. Soon their white blossoms will be everywhere.
Saguaros on a rocky slope along the Carrillo trail. Pusch Ridge in the distance.
Heading down, even though I'm going up still, to the Carillio junction then about another .3 miles to the Trails end. You can see as you begin climbing the vegetation starts to change a bit. Still Saguaros but starting to thin out. More Brittle Brush, Ocotillo, Teddy Bear Cholla and grasses.
Looking out over the Tanque Verde Valley. The Catalina Mountains and Mt Lemmon in the distance. Brittle Brush, The Yellow flowers of the Prickly Pear, Ocotillo, Saguaros and Mesquite tress are definitely plentiful in the Sonoran Desert.
Looking back down on a great place to sit on the slick rock and relax, eat a bit and enjoy the quiet and views. About 100 yds before the end of Wildhorse trail. Nice view of Tanque Verde Valley, the Ironwood trees, catclaw, as well as Prickey Pear, Ocotillo and rock outcroppings
