Romero Canyon Trail.


Santa Catalina Mountains in Tucson.


This Saguaro had 25 arms.













I have never seen a nest built in a plant like this.















The steep trail led to Hutches Pool.















Tahoe preferred to slide down the slick rock.
















There was shade and a small sandy beach near the pools.

















Tahoe will easily climb any vertical cliff, but he refuses to climb stairs with only horizontal slats, not vertical slats.
Go figure.
