Silly Mountain Hike

We went on our second hike the other day. 

 Silly Mountain Trail.  It was sunny and nice out and we enjoyed being outside in the desert.  We bought some new hiking shoes and plan to do a lot of hiking.  The trails are typically rocky and often have some mild climbing so we needed some sturdier shoes.  Also to protect from snakes and scorpions, but we haven't seen any of those yet.  We did see a lizard on today's trail.

 Silly Mountain is close to Apache Junction and has a good view of the much larger Superstition Mountains on one side.  The trail went around Silly Mountain and wound in and out of some crags and small hills.

At the beginning of the trail is an interesting botanical garden.  Arizona sure is different from Washington.
