Albert, Cris, Nick and I did an overnight backpack trip to a beautiful desert oasis this weekend. It was the perfect timing for wildflowers and waterfalls in Hellhole Canyon :) Also saw a ton of wildlife - birds, bats, bees, butterflies, lizards, frogs, squirrels, and jack rabbits. We only hiked in about 2.5 miles before finding a great campsite among huge boulders above the creek. But that 2.5 miles took us a long time because there were so many beautiful things to photograph, including over 30 species of wildflowers! Then we rock scrambled further without our big packs up to Maidenhair Falls. The weather was warm and the water delightfully cold! Anyway, I had a wonderful time... Here are some photos!
