Organ Pipe day 4, 3/31

We hiked the Alamo Canyon trail this morning. Another treasure!
Up to an old ranchers cabin and a spring!
The spring was awesome, new wildflower species and so lush.
Some superbloom shots!
flowers are just everywhere!
This is a Teddy Bear Cholla. It drops its segments and they attach to passers by or just land on ground and root
look closely at these babies, they have rooted and have tons of new growth .
Great example of a barrell cactus
The Organ Pipe Cactus ( where  the Park got it's name)
     Our friend "garding" the trail!
Stopped for lunch at the only restaurant in Why, AZ. It was surprisingly yummy!!!

A quiet afternoon reading.
