Through the eyes of a geologist

Today was incredibly challenging! We began en route at 9am, with three litres of water in my rucksack I thought I was more than prepared. How wrong could I be. Today was an incredibly hot, in fact it was exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit, added to the climbing altitude, many some of us very ill quickly and soon abandoned the hike. Although the day wasn't completely unsuccessful, as I got to experience was the true arid Arizona is like. A few hours within the trek, the scenery was fantastic, something I would only dream about on a pre-printed postcard.  Consequently, I will return at some point during the year to complete the hike and go cliff diving. Certainly something to tick off my bucketlist. Blooming cactus Refreshing So many beautiful butterflies around Catalinas Scenery on route
