Biscuit and Kath took this wide trail through the desert up to the top of the Mesa at sunrise. The hike was a sharp upward incline after a stroll through the park, the way we traveled the downward path was rough stairs. Biscuit enjoyed smelling for wildlife and tasted too many rocks that I had to dig out of his mouth.
The views were lovely and we enjoyed the wild flowers and cacti. The temperature quickly climbed as the sun came up; by the time we made it back to camp we were hot and sweaty.
