June is here and the Desert is heating up for another Summer. So, Hilda and I are taking trips to cooler places. Saturday, June 1st, we headed to the Four Peaks trail north of the Superstition Range. Sandie and Steve led the way with Hilda, Bruce, and I following. As always, the Arizona scenery was spectacular, with the added bonus that every minute brought cooler temperatures. There's so much green this year and the Saguraros are still in bloom.
At about 1 pm we arrived at Rosevelt Lake and had lunch while Hilda went swimming with Blue Harrons and White Cranes.
After lunch we drove south along the lake to Tonto National Monument and I saw the Salado Cliff Dwellings for the first time. I could almost hear the Salado Indians going about their everyday chores. Both Hilda and I were very reluctant to leave these peaceful, cool, and beautiful sorroundings and return home.
