This past weekend we visited the Painted Desert North of Yuma. This place is incredibly beautiful. Minerals in the rocks make them a variety of different colors, from reddish to almost purple.
The weather was perfect. It was in the 80s but a gentle desert breeze blew constantly which made it just the right temperature for hiking.
Liam had all the clambering rocks he could ever wish for.
Liam got a little too close to one of these cactuses and ended up with a vicious spine in his foot. He was very wary of them from then on!
This place was stunning and I enjoyed observing and collecting a lot of the desert flora I came across. We were told there is a lot of wildlife out here. We saw a roadrunner and a lizard but our boys constant jabber scared everything else away, I'm afraid.
We were waiting for another post. ☺ It looks like an interesting place!
