Piestewa Peak

Phoenix has a great set of urban parks where you can walk in the desert.  That is a little easier to do when your city limits seem to encompass the whole state, but they are still great. Molly and I went on a hike to see all of the cacti.  Arizona has had an exceptional amount of rain this year and the desert is very green.  We had a great time on the hike  with the possible exception of the end.  Lost is such a harsh word, but there were a plethora of options at the end. It seemed easy to convince ourselves that the path up the steep hill was incorrect,  but it is hard to be lost when you are surrounded by housing developments.
