Sonoran Desert National Monument.

This beautiful, vast, and almost roadless piece of land is just south of Phoenix.












We hiked along along the Vekol wash. I didn't see any other people, but there was a lot of wildlife.














Here are some some bird tracks, possibly a hawk. Tahoe chased a couple jackrabbits.



















A really tall saguaro.












Tahoe found an animal bone near our camp site which he promptly began to chew. He didn't understand why I threw it in the fire pit.
















Sonoran sunset.
