Dry drainage along Wildhorse trail, but that could change with a quick thunderstorm.

Hiking along Three Tank Trail.

Flowering Saguaros along Carrillo trail.
In certain places, the trail follows a seasonal drainage.
The trail after the 5 trail junction, starting a slow ascent up towards the Three Tank Trail Junction. Saguaros, as majestic as they are, also have an intriguing beauty to them in at the end of their lifespan.
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.
