While visiting my friend Rachel in Phoenix we knew we wanted to go on at least one hike. Rachel chose to take us up South Mountain. The hike was about two and a half miles each way and mild to moderate in difficulty. The wildflowers were in bloom and we spotted lots of fun wildlife as we made our way up and down the rocky terrain. The views from the top were beautiful! I especially loved the variety of cacti at the top of the mountain. After our hike we treated ourselves to an amazing lunch at the
Farm Kitchen at South Mountain. It was a wonderful day!
This looks like a glorious place!

It was so beautiful! I want to go back to Phoenix again to try more hikes. It was such a fun way to spend the morning!
DeleteSo pretty....I always fall the most in love with the big skies when I'm out west...sigh.
ReplyDeleteArizona was such a beautiful place. I had no idea how different the landscapes were across the state. I had such a wonderful time exploring the state and can't wait to go back for another visit!
DeleteSouth Mountain is my backyard. Always a wonderful hike. Glad you got to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHey! South Mountain was gorgeous and I loved hiking it. I also loved the Farm Kitchen for lunch afterwards! If I lived nearby I have a feeling I would be eating there all the time.
DeleteYour photos are stunning! Wish it was dry enough here (seattle) for a hike!
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting! I have never been much of a hiker, but I loved exploring South Mountain. I need to venture out and hike more around the east coast!
DeleteThat landscape is insane! Looks like it was a gorgeous hike.
ReplyDeleteIt was so beautiful! Do you guys ever hike around the NYC area? After my Arizona hike I am motivated to try some trails around here. Let me know if you have any favorite spots! A lot of friends have recommended Cold Spring, so that might be my first trip.
