By
8:00 am the vans were loaded, and we headed back along the Apache Trail. We made a brief stop at the Fish Creek
hill where the road narrows before a hairpin turn and steep uphill section. The
melting snows provided us with the unusual desert site of delicate waterfalls
cascading down the cliff side.
One
van stopped at our Mesa motel for those who had left their cars there for the
week and then continued up to Scottsdale where 4 of our participants would join
another NAU program for a second week of hiking. The second van took the rest of us to the Phoenix airport
where we were catching our return flights. It was an amazing week of beautiful and challenging hikes,
and we all said our sad good-byes to our hiking friends and program
coordinators. As soon as we got
home, we started searching our RS catalogues for our next adventure!
